Firefox addon not available?

I went to the Power Automate Firefox addon page, but going to the page only displays a "page not found" error message. Is the addon/extension not available for Firefox? I can't choose any click-selectors on Firefox pages because it says I need to install the addon/extension. I'm using Firefox version 105.0.3. Thanks for your help in advance.

That makes no difference. There's a chance that a cookie is stored that you will need to clear for changes to take affect. Try clearing Cookies via Clear Private Data in Firefox for Safari settings. So either you are not using the mobile Firefox (using stock browser on xoom instead) or you have changed your useragent to appear to be the stock browser. Generally a reset or uninstall would solve most issues.

I found this thread looking for an answer but found something that seems to work: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/install-browser-extensions#configure-mozilla-firefox
Go to `about:config` and change `prompts.tab_modal.enabled` to `false`

Then get your extension from the link it gives, which should be https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/microsoft-power-automate/

The post from MSFT appears to be removed and therefore the links are not working.

Hoping there will be an updated version soon.

Yes, that link is now broken, but your addon file is working with Firefox, and I was able to automate the Firefox browser in PAD. Thanks.

The link is not working. You can use this offline addon and install from file. You must decompress first

Anyone looking for the most up-to-date solution to this problem, you can download the Firefox addon from the official Power Automate website here. Follow the instructions on that page to manually add the downloaded addon to the Firefox browser.

As I said, there used to be one, but its evidently been pulled from the Firefox extension store for some reason. Until and unless it is brought back you won't be able to do web automation using a Firefox browser.

Re: Firefox addon not available?

Thanks for the reply, but I see an option for the Firefox extension under the Tools > Browser extensions > Firefox menu item. Why would they have that option if the Firefox addon for Power Automate isn't available? I'm using the latest PAD version 2.24.179.22266. Since there is no addon available for Power Automate in Firefox, does it mean that I can't use Firefox for web automation in PAD? Thanks.
