You can view a video walkthrough on YouTube or read on.īy ' defaul t, Firefox disables ' RoboForm on install because RoboForm is installed as a third party program, and not by user via XPI from the Firefox add-ons website. How do I enable the RoboForm Toolbar within Firefox? The fix does display the Roboform bar but only at the bottom of the screen.

Robo had a video that was partially helpful although the 'fix' was shown on older version of Firefox. I just happened to install Roboform 8.3.7 on one first and noticed I could not simply right click in top menu area and select Roboform to display its tool bar.

''the-edmeister ]''Īm running Firefox 54.0 on two Windows 10 PCs. Saddest thing is, Microsoft has a better browser by the day as they keep removing the functionality of Firefox to make it act like the horrific Chrome. That should be the first thing all Firefox users see when they start up their browser! I am in total agreement and have been looking for the past year to switch myself. IMO, Mozilla is looking for parity with Google Chrome, (no longer a trail browser with Firefox as it once was, now a copy cat or mimic of what more popular have done - meeting the lower standards of what users want or expect) to make it easier for developers to create one extension for most all browsers, with little additional work to adapt it to each specific browser brand So we will need to get used to Firefox not being as extensible as it has been. The-edmeister said WebExtensions just aren't as powerful as the traditional Firefox extensions have been. The ''Extended Support Release'' of Firefox 52 will continue to run old-style extensions and get security updates through next June. The last ''regular'' release of Firefox that will support old-style extensions is Firefox 56, so that doesn't take you very far. I know a whole 3 clicks extra but if you do it on 100 websites a day, it tends to add up very fast. Being able to click once for a task rather than click, click, click was a time saver.

Thanx a rollback did fix it for me but I doubt for long as both will continue to update to this awful new format.Īs to your question about the completeness I don't think it is any less complete just a LOT less convenient. Another user rolled back to an unspecified older version and did get the toolbar back, but I don't know which one it was. I'm not sure if you can roll back the change from toolbar to button/menu simply by switching to Firefox 52 ESR. The Extended Support Release of Firefox 52 will continue to run old-style extensions and get security updates through next June. The last regular release of Firefox that will support old-style extensions is Firefox 56, so that doesn't take you very far. But is the drop-menu less complete than the old horizontal toolbar?

Obviously it's an extra step to access a drop-down menu than to click a displayed button on a bar. IMO, Mozilla is looking for parity with Google Chrome, ''(no longer a trail browser with Firefox as it once was, now a copy cat or mimic of what more popular have done - meeting the lower standards of what users want or expect)'' to make it easier for developers to create one extension for most all browsers, with little additional work to adapt it to each specific browser brand WebExtensions just aren't as powerful as the traditional Firefox extensions have been. Smacks of the New Coke debacle back in April 1985, which was discontinued in 1992. I plan on waiting until after Firefox 60 comes out before I waste much time trying to config the 'new' Firefox to my liking. So I am still using an old ESR 38 version for my 'heavy lifting' from before the 'signing' thing started my extensions dropping like flies. Overall, as a 15 year user from the days of Phoenix 0.3, I am not happy with what I see and have been seeing for quite awhile now. It's possible that the new API's may not be complete yet and more features may be added down the road and user requests made in the proper place, with the attitude, might restore some what might be lost or add new stuff later on. Their scheme with the 'lifetime' being for a limited time pissed me off - so I stopped using it. I can't comment specifically about Roboform, haven't used it for many years now.
