Add-on disabled by Firefox #454

naveedunjum · 2021-01-12T19:48:34Z

XDM Browser Monitor has been disabled due to security or stability issues. Please see to it

abdelghanyMh · 2021-01-12T19:58:20Z

i had the same error 5 minute ago

barrychapman · 2021-01-12T20:32:17Z

same here

wstan1 · 2021-01-12T20:49:20Z

same here but i accidentally removed the add on so now i think im screwed

brightmaraba · 2021-01-12T21:02:13Z

Same issue. One of my favourite extensions.

Aris-Eng · 2021-01-12T21:28:44Z

Apparently someone reported it as collecting data to Moz, and they decided to disable it. See more here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1686017

MikeSamurai · 2021-01-12T23:49:13Z

Also the same issue. Strange that someone reported it because i didn't have any problem with the addon. The same may have happen with many people that used the addon. The best way to solve it as Mozilla says is "the developer should upload a new version of the addon that solves the violation issues" which in this case i don't think is a problem because it has to be updated a lot of months (from March 2020). So it should be fixed soon.

Hi guys! There is my solution:

in address bar type: about:config
search: extensions.blocklist.enabled switch to false
make laugh)))
If addon have been removed - about:addons - install add-on from file... ([email protected] required).
Enjoy)))

3. make laugh)))

this works thanks!!! annoying that i have to disable a security feature tho; i don't want insecure extensions lol.

While this might work, it's not really a viable or safe solution. The developer will need to work it out with Moz.

musa90 · 2021-01-13T04:15:22Z

@subhra74 we need you to review your code for firefox add-on.

namv22 · 2021-01-13T04:32:21Z

Apparently someone reported it as collecting data to Moz, and they decided to disable it. See more here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1686017

Read through the comments and don't see anything about why other than a single line that reports the violation
At the end of the comment is a confirmation from an account that looks like it's from the admin and they're working with XDM's dev to resolve this

subhra74 · 2021-01-13T07:52:47Z

According to the comments they said they will contact me, however I received no communication from Mozilla, this is really unexpected. Usually they ask developers to fix any issue found in extensions within some time period, but this time I did not get anything. This extension was reviewed multiple time by Mozilla reviewers in the past and got approved. This is getting really frustrating for me now.

subhra74 · 2021-01-13T07:53:15Z

Please review https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1686017

You can download it here by clicking "Download": https://github.com/subhra74/xdm-firefox-old/blob/master/xdm_ff_webext.xpi

fantasyfeline · 2021-01-13T09:50:19Z

This is really a suspicious report, and I find that Google Chrome doesn't disable it. Unfortunately XDM works better on Firefox, so other than reactivate it on Firefox according to termik, I've also downloaded Waterfox and installed it to keep using it whatever happens in the future.

haotian2004 · 2021-01-13T10:43:24Z

same here

namv22 · 2021-01-13T12:57:14Z

Updated: They reviewed the addons and reverted the block, it's safe now
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1686017
I think you can mark this as resolved now @subhra74

It's not solved yet. I tried to revert extensions.blocklist.enabled to true and to restart Firefox but after XDM is still disabled for security concerns.

Reviewers at Mozilla wants that XDM should show a dialog to provide a functionality that would allow users to monitor their browser traffic and show privacy policy etc. as per their updated guideline. Once a new extension version with these changes submitted, they will re-enable the extension listing. Till then lets keep this open

Now it works like nothing happened without doing the fix termik suggested.Though as subhra74 says lets keep this issue open (until the next update or something).

Today I got the dialog window about Xtreme Download Manager - Privacy. So I read this discussion and Mozilla bug report discussion as well. For me @subhra74 You did great job. I'm trusting XDM. Thanks for this wonderful open source download manager.

But there is an issue. Which I address now. The accept button is not worked I pressed several times but noting happened. Then I pressed the cancel button then the extension was removed.

mhdzumair · 2021-01-18T05:54:36Z

I inspect the source for accept button
here is the function for accept:

 function(e) {
  chrome.runtime.sendMessage({
    type: 'user-consent-accepted'
  });
  window.close();
}

But thing is window.close() function is not worked.

I got the error message in console as
Scripts may not close window that were not opened by script.

Hi,

There are two big problems with XDM.

Firefox (Desktop Version)

all the times I open the Firefox Desktop browser, I have to click on

“Xtreme Download Manager – Privacy” >>> “Accept and continue”.

Every time. To stop it, I had to disable it.

Firefox ESR Portable

nothing happens when I click the “button” “Xtreme Download Manager – Privacy” >>> “Accept and continue”. “Accept and continue” does NOT work, it’s like frozen.

In advance, thank you very much for your kind help

Christian

yellowsink · 2021-01-22T13:29:56Z

So now that it's back up is this gonna get closed?

ghost · 2021-01-28T17:50:37Z

Hi, Mr Atkinson Not sure what "back up" means, but no, unfortunately all the XDM problems are still there. Christian

I have the same problem with XDM when opening firefox from January when i last commented above until now.Also when will XDM have a new update? It's been a year since last update.

anonymous-user · 2021-08-22T17:11:00Z

I'm having the same issue too. It doesn't affect functionality but it is annoying having to repeatedly "accept" the extension.

JadianRadiator · 2022-02-05T18:16:51Z

@subhra74 this has been fixed by now,
and yet the issue is still open.

dtantono · 2022-09-14T14:50:18Z

Hi, the problem still exist on Firefox

qq-me · 2023-03-23T14:23:44Z
