Hi All,

I have installed one Firefox extension on my machine and added to the Firefox browser and working fine.

But the problem is sometime if some other user logins to my machine Firefox is again asking the question to enable the extension. But sometime users failing to answer 'YES' to that.

Could you please tell me is there anyway that we can solve this?

That is once the extension is installed and added to firefox it should be availble to all the users who uses the same machine.

Thanks in advance

Hi Natalia Sutter, There are different profile folders for each user on the same machine. If the extension is installed on the admin account, all other accounts will see the extension, but there will be a requirement to restart Firefox.

Unless you specify to launch Firefox with the profile manager: Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles which will detach the default profile between accounts. This will prevent other users from disabling the extension.

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
