Your latest upgrade resulted in my favorite and-or necessary addons from working. Ant video down loader and Roboform. Roboform is a necessary addon for me. How do I reinstall the older version and disable your future upgrades,

If not possible I will cease using firefox and go to Google.

I had similar problems with other addons. I reinstalled ff56 version over quantum and all is working perfect know (nothing is lost). To prevent ff from updates go to the setting page. On chapter general you will find options for firefox-update.

hi, roboform provides a compatible addon at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/roboform/

...and there is no shortage in video downloader extensions either: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/search/?platform=windows&q=video+download

I did reinstall roboform but some of my log ons do not function. Never had this problem in previous edition. I understand there are many other programs, but it seems like every time Firefox upgrades I need to reinstall and sometime abandon ddons I need.-

So, is ther a way to disable Firefox uipgrads_
