anyone else having issues installing plugins and themes for firefox at the minute? both ftp.mozilla.org and addons.update.mozilla.org are in my allow list so they shouldn't be blocked from installing.

error message?

none at all

This might sound dumb, but do you have any pop up blockers turned on? Everything works fine on my end. Try clearing the cache and history also and then retry.

cache and history cleared, adblock and popup blocking turned off and it still wont work

deleteing all my profile info and reinstalling sorted it out but not i cant seem to se the option in tbe to open bookmarks in new tabs, can anyone help me out?

i really am an idiot, in my rush to reinstall i downloaded Tabbrowser Preferences 1.2.1 which i guess doesnt have that feature
