Hi,

I've just stumbled accross this notice. I have just updated ro the H2 version of Windows 11 and following that the Power automate extension does not run properly in Firefox. It cannot connect to teh browser and suggests I uninstall and re-install the extension. BUT without the extension being available I cannot do this.

The situation therefore is becoming troublesome for those in the community who already have the extension installed and rely on it daily.

I have resorted to manually undertaking the script action as it may take some time to recreate the scripts in Chrome or Edge.

Can you please provide an update on when the extension will become available again for Firefox.

Thanks
Mike

@NikosMoutzou ... further to my last informing that Firefox PA extension needs releading after windows 11 latest release upgrade, is there perhaps a way of saving the currently loaded extension locally, removing it and then reloading it from the local saved copy?
I would much appreciate any update or workaround you could give for this issue. Thank you.

You can use this offline extension, and install from file. You must decompress first

Thank you @Kitaro I will look into your solution and the attached file. I am surprised that Microsoft themselves cannot supply the file OR resolve the issue OR provide explanation of the issue they have in doing so.
I have been doing the scripts manually now for a while.

Initially, @NikosMoutzou provided all details for extension install (including the link for extension), here, in this post. Even Microsoft posted in one of their blogs, all details, including Pad extension.. But something happened in the meantime and Microsoft blog vanished and @NikosMoutzou removed all traces of Firefox extension from this post. Why ... is not important now. Important is that Microsoft to solve this problem.

Multiple of our critical flows are broken because of this. Of course, MS doesn't provide any information on the issue or timetable about the fix. Downgrading Firefox or PAD doesn't help. Support doesn't answer either so there's no way to actually determine if we should start moving the flows to Edge or not (not a trivial thing to do)

Nice christmas present we have here.

Two day ago, for a short period of time, the extension could be downloaded. It was there, in Firefox extensions. I installed it, it works fine. I don't understand why he disappeared again.
The problem now is that you can no longer downgrade PAD and the new version of PAD 2.27 does not communicate with the older extensions. It is worse than the previous time.
@NikosMoutzoucan you provide us with the new extension. I know you have it 🙂
