    May have already been mentioned but when updating Firefox you should check that your favourite add-ons have not been disabled (legacy) due to Mozilla's way of doing things.

    If they have just enable them :beer: Tools, Add-Ons and have a look.


    Apart from the ones that do not work with latest versions .

    This made me check FF to see if I had the latest update. I have, and it was done at least a week ago, so I have not noticed any loss of Addons. 55.03 is the latest.
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    Legacy does not mean disabled......It means they are in the old format and need to be updated by version 57.0.
    That said some of the older ones are already experiencing difficulties.
    Unless the developers update their extensions prior to 57.0 they will be lost.

  • Hi,

    mine weren't disabled but now shown as legacy.

    I've tried to find updates/newer versions but with no success.

    Found an update for NoScript, but Firefox still thinks its "legacy".

    Legacy ones are getting disabled, never said legacy and disabled are the same thing I put legacy in brackets to show that legacy ones are being disabled, some add ons are being disabled for example AdBlock Plus, Avast Online Security Extension, My Homepage by Jaininfotech etc.

    Best to check anyway.

    Ok, it didn't read as you intended so it needed clarifying.....all good now, job done...:)
    In fact, all 'Legacy' add ons will be disabled in 57.0.

    Well this is embarrassing. We've cocked things up yet again. Firefox has stopped responding.

    I'll wait a while before updating.
