Can I post this question — now REwritten and citing Super User — similar to one deleted by moderator?
Just checking before posting the following. Thanks.
Title
Can I await Mozilla or Firefox to unearth the awry Add On(s)awry, before attempting myself? How long needs Firefox?
Body
-
Does Firefox automatically disable Add Ons that become astray?
-
Or does Firefox rely on volunteers to warn them of such Add Ons?
-
I copy this question from Super User. Rather than action DrMoishe Pippik's bifurcation stopgap now myself, can I simply wait for Mozilla — or someone more technologically skillful — to disable the amiss Add On(s)?
My material facts are based on this Super User.
On 27 Jan 2021, I shut down my Windows 10 laptop to buy lunch.
After returning from lunch 2 hours later, I turned on my laptop. But then Firefox stopped loading tabs, while my Internet and my Chrome and Edge browsers were all working perfectly. But my tabs load perfectly when I use Firefox in "Troubleshoot Mode" works perfectly!

No, you should not post that question, at least not in this form. Here are some problems:
Can I await Mozilla or Firefox to unearth the awry Add On(s)awry, before attempting myself? How long needs Firefox?
That's too long for a title. The title should be a concise summary.
More importantly, I can't figure out what it means. We use English here. This isn't decipherable as English, at least not without way more effort and guessing than anyone here should have to put up with. Maybe you're not a native English speaker. That's not your fault, but it's not the fault of anyone here either. Such bad writing is very annoying to those that do read English well.
I guess "await" means "wait for". It seems "unearth" is meant to mean "discover" here. Those might be OK if they were the only problems, but "awry Add On(s)awry" makes no sense. That's just too garbled to be allowed here.
Does Firefox automatically disable Add Ons that become astray?
What is an "astray" add-on? The concept makes no sense. The same piece of code doesn't somehow evolve or change over time. There may be new versions, but that doesn't seem to be what you're asking about. It's hard to see how "astray" applies to new versions either.

You do this a lot, and have been told a lot to stop. Pertinent information to a question here needs to be here. Stop with the links all over the place! Personally, I rarely follow a link in a question. It breaks the flow, I don't know where I will end up, and it's annoying in the first place. Links are OK for background info or adjunct information, like a datasheet to a device being asked about on the EE site.
You have abused links so much here that you shouldn't use any links at all in your next few questions.

Argh, yet another link. No, I'm not going to follow it. What does it mean anyway? Is this going to go to the personal profile of someone you think is a super user? I see "Super User" is capitalized, so a proper noun. What the ...? Ah, do you mean post on Stack Exchange Super User site? If so, that's a long way from what you wrote, and exceedingly lazy. If that's what you really mean, see how saving yourself a second of typing caused considerable confusion? Don't be so lazy.
I'm going to stop here because this is where I would stop reading if this were a real post. I'd then downvote this mess and move on. I'm not downvoting this question here because you're asking about the mess instead of presenting it as a question.
So again, the answer is "It's a mess. Don't post it."
