no starting with "yasd" about yet-another-speed-dial

It sounds like you could have another addon overriding the speed dial, or you are browsing in private mode and need to enable it. Instructions for how to allow addons in private browsing are here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/extensions-private-browsing Alternatively, removing and re-installing Yet Another Speed Dial may also resolve the issue. Hope that helps, and thanks for trying the addon!

Oh sorry I see now, I just translated your message from the German and see it was an error message.

Do other extensions work?

Some users report this error could be related to storing your user profile on a remote drive or using firefox in an enterprise environment. Do you know if that applies to your situation? Can you confirm what OS and version of Firefox you are running?

Thanks

I'm inclined to think a bug/misconfiguration exists somewhere in FF that is preventing it from accessing the extensions directory. Since FF itself creates the appropriate directories for extensions rather than the addon I don't think there is anything I can do from the application side.

You could manually check the file permissions of the extension file and make sure your user has access:

C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<ID>.default\extensions

Another thing you could try is creating a new firefox user profile. You will want to backup your existing profile first. Then see if the addon works with the new profile. And I would disable any other extensions to make sure there is no conflict:

Good luck!
