Opera.

Ease of expansion Yandex elements appreciated by many. And for good reason. Everything is before your eyes - from new messages in mail and social networks, to quick access to the Yandex Money button, as well as webmaster tools.

Where did Yandex Elements go?

Nowhere. Just in version Mozilla Firefox 56.0, released in September-October 2017, the developers removed from there the possibility of compatibility with the extension Yandex elements. The motivation for this stupidity was simple: “There is no technical possibility to implement the toolbar” .

Apparently, the issue is not a lack of technical capability or the hands-on behavior of the developers, but a desire to force users to Yandex.Browser with its poor functionality.

How to return Yandex Elements?

In short - roll back Mozilla Firefox 56.0 to version 55.0 and block forced browser updates - everything will be restored.

1. First, download the version of Mozilla Firefox 55.0 we need

Mozilla Firefox 55.0 download page

Language selection

Click the button [Install Yandex Elements];
in the dialog that appears, select Allow ;
wait for the distribution to finish loading;
select in dialogue Install now and follow the installation instructions.

Yandex elements will appear after restarting the browser.

4. Block attempts to automatically update Mozilla

This should be done so that when you next load your browser, it will not be updated to the latest version, in which Yandex Elements will stop working. Let me remind you that already in version 56.0 this extension is blocked.

To do this, open the browser menu, select [Settings], go to page [Advanced] and enter the submenu [Updates]. Here in the checkbox you should select the option: "Never check for updates" .

5. Let's add Yandex Elements to the list of trusted add-ons

Otherwise, at one point Mozilla may simply block access to the extension, perceiving it as unwanted.

Let's go to [Settings] → [Protection];
press [Exceptions] in point [Are common];
in the window that opens [Allowed sites - Installing add-ons] enter the website address: https://element.yandex.ru
press [Allow].

How to use Yandex search. It turns out there's a lot we don't know about proper cotext search. "Anti-piracy" law

Mozilla Firefox sometimes (or often) stalls - for example, it prohibits the installation of some extensions that, in its opinion, are harmful and prohibited for installation. They say this is all for our protection: “The add-on could not be loaded due to a connection error.” Or - “Firefox has blocked the request to install software from this site.”

What should I do!? if I’m used to some kind of extension and can’t live without it otherwise... and I don’t give a damn about all these front-line squabbles of developers and their peculiar readings of certificates...

Well... let's install the usual add-on... ...consider, for example, the case when the Firefox browser prohibits installation of Yandex elements ( Below is a link to a post that talks about how to add Yandex bookmarks to Firefox 55.0.2).

...one day we decide to install an add-on to the Mozilla Firefox browser, Yandex elements... At the beginning of the installation, everything seems great!

But closer to the end, the following warning window appears:

"The add-on could not be loaded..."

Who is to blame... What to do...

Firefox has blocked the request to install software from this site

I don’t know in which versions this problem with prohibitions on installing extensions and components started. I don’t delve into these duels of incorrect certificates; it is they and their inconsistency that lead to the block.

And it’s pointless to comprehend the incomprehensible, because it’s possible to quickly get confused in dates and topics, and besides, it’s difficult to calculate and predict what kind of pike the opposite developers will throw at each other next time.

Personally, in order to avoid all these inconsistencies... I use the Firefox browser and its . If possible, I pass on some updates: well, at least I always prepare for them.

The wonderful MozBackup program helps a lot with this, which can save all personal browser data - passwords, extensions, bookmarks, etc. ... and regulate them, of course.

So: as mentioned above, I don’t remember the version of the browser in which the ban hitch was first discovered, and since I don’t remember (and none of the mere mortals remember), it means there is no exact elixir!! however, I’ll show you a couple of options for free installation of selected add-ons: (one of them will definitely work - I got into trouble with the second one))

to disable Firefox's PROHIBITION from installing extensions -

let's do this:

Let's use the hidden settings of the Mozilla Firefox browser.

Enter the following monogram in the address bar of your browser:

...and click “Enter”

Important: when you go to these “hidden” settings, the browser displays such a funny window in which it warns you to be careful - be careful!

As you understand, you need to promise to be attentive.

Then we will be taken to the browser’s holy of holies - the technical settings feed:

...then, in the “search” on the settings ribbon (it’s somewhere at the top), we’ll write down the following phrase:

Attention: it may make sense, if you have it set to false, change it to true - experimentation is everything!

As an addition to the material, for those users who are thinking of taming a computer and being on “YOU” with it:

Among programmers (and in general, you may remember from computer science lessons) such simple logical values (concepts, if you want) as TRUE - meaning true and FALSE - meaning false. If simply “truth” is permission, and “false” is, accordingly, prohibition.

And in some cases of programming languages, the value “true” is legally coded 1, and the value “false” is 0.

Logical data type, or Boolean type, or Boolean type (from the English Boolean or logical data type) in honor of George Boole (which is very logical)) - a mathematician and logician was like that.

But this is true, slightly touching on the topic...

And we will explore all the depths of the optimal Internet from article to article) so it makes sense to subscribe

So, after we have signed up)) - we restart... the browser, I mean...

It should work!

If the browser did not obey the order (remember: “forbid the ban”) - to hell with it. Although this shouldn’t be the case: I’ll tell you about the subtleties in the next article so that we can get closer to the topic...

The second option - now it will definitely work... Let's do this: and learn...
