Firefox, The Flame Went Out
Possibly ironic, but today Firefox stopped cooperating with the extensions installed and now all is lost. I just got done posting about what I had installed, which is good as I now have a good source to go to reinstall them. But, I have actually been running most of these for a long time. It's been about six months since I have been soley using Firefox, and I quickly started to pile up all the useful extensions that it has.
Today, two of my extensions had updates, one was ForecastFox, I can't remember the other. I installed both as normal, but then later in the day I noticed more ads than I was used to. Some really annoying ones. As I went to go use the great Adblock extension to get rid of them, I noticed that it wasn't there. So, I check the extension list, and it was showing. Checked settings. Was enabled. Closed out of Firefox and restarted it to see if that did anything. One thing it did was instead of bringing up my previously loaded tabs, it brought up my homepage. So, Adblock was still not working, and it seems that Sessionsaver wasn't working either. At this point I was irritaed, so I tried to 'deinstall' the Adblock extension. (Most extensions you can just uninstall from the list, this one has a deinstall option, so I tried that). Needless to say, I could go on and on about how everything went downhill after that. But, now I hve the extension list working, none of the extension work now though, and I can't access any options. Fortunatly all my bookmarks are still there. When I get home, I will have to work at cleaning all the extensions out of my profile and try to reinstall. Sounds like a pain. I have long feared that all these extensions would eventually topple over, and it seems that it's possible for that to happen.
