What version of firefox are you running? Apparently beta and nightly need to change `Components.utils.import` to `ChromeUtils.import`. But anyways, don't use this now, use the semi-official fix of clicking on this link and letting it install: https://storage.googleapis.com/moz-fx-normandy-prod-addons/e... This is the fix Mozilla has published to be installed via shield studies, but skipping the shield studies part. Y…

I've just done what you suggested but I'm running an older version of firefox:52.9.0 ESR (x86 en-GB) so it does not work!!!! PLEASE HELP ME, PLEASE!!!!! I have an old notebook: Microsoft Windows XP 2002,intel pentium M processor,1600MHz, 1.60GHz,760 MB RAM

In the mean time, installing the hotfix extension and running the script seems to help :)

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. Firm 56.0.2 user here as well. Refuse to go with a newer version. I don't even care that we're basically putting it on life-support at this point. Anyway thanks for the help. Couldn't stand youtube or basically any other website without adblock.

Heheh, more like they've taken it OFF support - but anyways, have you seen the way to install Mozilla's intermediate certificate on older versions? It seems like that one actually solves it! :)))

I'm not sure if you'll see this. HN doesn't send notifications so I only just saw your post now.

This reddit post might help you https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/bkspmk/addons_fix_...

I don't feel right responding without saying this, so even though you might have heard it before:

Using Windows XP and firefox 52 is in my humble estimation crazy. You're asking for viruses. I'd strongly recommend installing linux on your machine and using that instead.

Linux Mint Xfce 32 bit might manage to run on your system, but your pushing up against the minimum requirements for doing so. If it does run well enough it is IMHO the easiest distro for a new user to use.

If you find it doesn't, Debian with (again) xfce should run just fine. Debian isn't exactly scary to install, but it's scarier than mint for a new user.

I can't promise full support, but if you need a pointer in the right direction while installing linux, feel free to email me at morenzg@google's mail service here.com (since I'm unlikely to see any replies here).

How do I verify that this is signed by Mozilla?

Well, uh, one way is to try and install it in firefox.

Assuming you meant without installing it in firefox, I don't quite know. You're going to need to find mozilla's public keys somewhere (maybe just extract them from firefox), unpack the xpi (it's just a zip file with a different extension) and find the signature contained within, and then figure out how to verify it.

Help please somebody. I'm so upset. Firefox "disappeared" off my desktop and I got a notice that it couldn't find my profile file. Neither could I. I had to reinstall the entire operating system for it to work again, and my data is gone (bookmarks). My bookmarks are important data for me. If I can retrieve them, I'm leaving FFforever. And Mozilla. FF should be held responsible for my expenses and time. Help. I had no ff acct. I just chose it as my default browser.
