Hi marius09,

Our QA team tests iMacros with the latest Firefox prior to each new release of the browser and they did not find any problems with Firefox 73.0.1.

I just did a fresh/new install myself with Firefox 73.0.1 and did not have any problem installing the iMacros add-on.

Would you please tell me the language and architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) of Firefox that you are using.

Hi

Thank You for reply. Of course I delivery information.

I'm using now Firefox 68.5.0esr (64-bit), language English but version of Firefox isn't important in my opinion because yesterday I was trying on three version.

68.5.0,
73.0.1
and 62

The problem in my opinion is located with addons and removed procedure. Maybe not all was removed during unistalling process. How can i removed it manually ?

Look in your %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profileName>\extensions folder and make sure the following file is not there:

{81BF1D23-5F17-408D-AC6B-BD6DF7CAF670}.xpi

You may also want to try creating a new Firefox user profile and install iMacros into the new profile. Navigate to about:profiles and click the Create a New Profile button to create a new profile.

This problem can be close. The reason was located out of imacros. I'm using it on job computer and secure department policies was blocking imacros. When I ask him to remove Imacros from black list it started work again.

Yep indeed, good "to know", and useful for other Users... :D
(Even if I "had to ask" a few times to get that Update, ah-ah...! :wink: )
- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...
