I use Last Pass for passwords, but Firefox keeps disabling it, why?

I have used Firefox as my default browser for years, and some time ago started using the Last Pass add-on for my passwords (which I like because it works across different platforms and browsers. The last two times I launched Firefox, it disabled the Last Pass add-on. I added it again, but Firefox disabled it again. If Firefox won't allow the use of the Last Pass add-on, I will have to quit using Firefox. Does anyone know a "fix" for this?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Something seems to "up" with LastPass. https://lastpass.com/misc_download2.php?tab=windows&anchor=ff That page show a Version 4.1.26 for installation, while LastPass is feeding that version 3.3.2 extension to Firefox users via the Addons.Mozilla.Org system. I don't use LastPass, but it seems to be at a "switch-over" pint where they are supporting two different versions. Maybe installing the complete LastPass Version 4.1.26 would be wise.

Or try the LastPass support forum here - https://forums.lastpass.com/ - and see what other LastPass users have to say. I looked quickly for any Firefox questions, but didn't see any active threads from the last 2 or 3 weeks.

Do you have the most recent version of LastPass Password Manager 3.3.2?

Check your list of installed extensions in the Addons Manager to see which version you have installed.

Yes, I downloaded that version (yesterday and again today) from Mozilla (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager/?src=ss). Whatever the problem is, it is with Mozilla.

I downloaded the app from LastPass, and I will see if this fixed the problem. Thanks for the help!
