Firefox 43 issue of not allowing install
Well I had the x-notifier on my browser for years now and love it. Today I start Firefox and everything was working fine until I believe my browser updated. At that point I get told that some add ons are no longer working. I clicked on the notification to see what it was talking about it was only showing "Microsoft .NET framework assistant" and it said I could restart it or something along those lines. I clicked the restart Firefox button to try to fix it and when it restarted my x-notifier was now no longer on my browser header like it always was in the past and on the extension page where the .NET thing was it now showed the x-notifier as one as well.
I continued to try to fix this but didn't get anywhere. I assumed it needed to be updated or something but when I tried to search for x-notifier it never showed up. I did see the lite version so I downloaded that one to see if it would work. I showed up on the header like the original one was before but it also didn't do anything. So I uninstalled both of them and tried to search them again. This time the original x-notifier finally showed up and it allowed me to click the install button. I did this and it said that Firefox needed to be restarted to finalize it. I did this now 10 times but it will not install it no matter what I do. I can only download it and then that is it cause it will not go any further.
Anyone else having this issue? I have no way to currently access my email accounts as I have long forgotten my passwords to them. LOL! Only thing I will be able to do is click forgot passwords most likely to access them again. What is going on with the x-notifier?????

Re-install
Hi there gtpforever,
I had the same issue after updating Firefox to version 43 but I was able to re-install the add-on from the Mozilla website:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/xnotifier/
Maybe this will work for you, too.
Edit: Note that the link above is for the US English add-on site. If this is not your language locale then you may be better off searching for firefox x notifier on your search engine of choice.

No matter what I do it won't
No matter what I do it won't let me install it. I can download it but it just won't let it install. It requests me to restart Firefox which I do but it never has anything done when it has restarted. It just has the download button there again wanting it to be done all over again.

Got another Firefox update today.
Still doesn't work. I have tried about everything to get it to work. I really wish that the maker of this would update it to work with what ever is going on with Firefox. Its not Firefox's job to make sure it works with everything its the makers of the add-on's and plugins job to make sure they update to work with new Firefox updates. Please fix this!!
