Odd behavior in Firefox 77 extension manager. What's going on with extensions?
I am finding it difficult to turn extensions on and off in Firefox 77 extension manager. The button will not stay in the On or Off position. I have to go through this operation over and over before On or Off becomes effective.
In the prior version of Firefox, this had also been balky, but Firefox 77 seems to have kicked it up to a new level.
For example, I'm having trouble with the LastPass extension (it becomes unresponsive, cannot log in). I had to turn it off in the extension manager numerous times before the button stayed in the Off position. Yet the extension icon remained in my browser bar! What's more, I finally was able to log in when the extension was "disabled", according to the Firefox extension manager.
What is going on with Firefox and its extensions?
PS Why is it so hard to find how to start a topic in this forum?
