    in Software

    Posted

    unhappily this function is not available in older ff esr (allow ff to install and run studies...)

     

    @hazelnut

     

    i wanted to skip this esr version and only use the next version because i dont like the ff 60´s or the ff 60.0 - 60.9-esr series as a direct offshoot of ff 60´s

    how it shows in the ff esr overview

    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/

     

    -> used the esr 52.9.0 and the next i would install the esr 68.0 without the esr 60-line -perhaps a bad time for me :-))

    ps: i used it on w8.1 64 bit

    Für erfahrene Nutzer: Welche Möglichkeiten haben Sie, wenn Sie ein unsigniertes Add-on benutzen möchten?

    In den Firefox-Versionen ESR (Extended Support Release), Developer Edition und Nightly können Sie die Einstellung zum Erzwingen der Erweiterungs-Signierung überschreiben. Dazu ändern Sie im Konfigurationseditor für Firefox (der Seite about:config) die Einstellung "xpinstall.signatures.required "auf "false". Es gibt auch spezielle Versionen von Firefox, die diese Überschreibung zulassen.

    What are my options if I want to install unsigned extensions in Firefox?

    • The Nightly and Developer Edition versions of Firefox have a preference to disable signature enforcement. There are also be special unbranded versions of Release and Beta that have this preference, so that add-on developers can work on their add-ons without having to sign every build. To disable signature checks, you will need to set the xpinstall.signatures.required preference to "false".
      • type about:config into the URL bar in Firefox
      • in the Search box type xpinstall.signatures.required
      • double-click the preference, or right-click and selected "Toggle", to set it to false.

     

     

    as in winapp2.inis post :-)

    Because of an expired certificate issue all Firefox extensions are disabled at the moment.

    Says they're unsigned and disables them.

     

    i was already wondering why for example the addon ublock is disabled since 1 or 2 days on my firefox esr 52.9...

    Roll-back your machine to a working state by uninstalling the following updates: for Win7 (KB4493472 and KB4493448), and Win8.1 (KB4493467, and KB4493446). Our customers have reported that removing these updates has fixed the issue for the time being.

     

    on my w8.1 cant update antivirus because it shows me an blue screen and cant create an report-file

    ublock v1.18.16

    This is an emergency fix for NanoAdblocker#257. The issue is that whenever an empty hostname was passed to getPublicSuffix.getDomain(), the next call to getPublicSuffix.getDomain() with a valid hostname would return an invalid result. I expect the erroneous behavior to be a rare occurrence, vast majority of calls to getPublicSuffix.getDomain() are with a valid hostname.

    Side effects could be that uBO was unable to properly lookup specific cosmetic filters for a site.

    hello galadriela,

     

    if adware... find nothing in kind of dangerous thing, perhaps its simply the toolbar yahoo and you can deinstall it, if you think you dont need it anymore...

     

    chromebrowser -> customize settings (the 3 points on the right side above) -> other tools -> extensions = uninstall yahoo-toolbar

    Changes

    The unlimitedStorage permission has been added in Firefox, to bring uBO inline with the Chromium version. As a result, when uBO updates, Firefox will notify you about the new permission:

    a

    Note that the Chromium version of uBO has declared the unlimitedStorage permission since it was first published in 2014.

    Firefox is not yet enforcing this permission, but I decided to add it anyways since Firefox states:

    Only ask for "unlimitedStorage" permission if you expect your extension's local data storage to exceed 5MB if it's not going to exceed that amount, don't ask for it.

    uBO is already using more than 5MB of storage in its basic configuration.

    In a future version, uBO may start to use a "persistent" indexedDB instance for its cache storage to ensure proper functioning of uBO.[1] uBO currently uses a non-persistent indexedDB instance and this may cause difficult to diagnose issues for some users as Firefox may evict uBO's cache storage at any time.

    [1] uBO's cache storage is used to store filter lists, their compiled counterparts, and snapshots of various internal data structures for fast launch time).
