Mine does the same (well, even less trusty addblocks are blocked).

But I found that copy/pasting the profiles folder of Firefox does the trick. In this folder there is an extension folder and xpi files that I can backup on the corporate cloud + usb drive to restore all my extensions.

Cause yeah, extensions are blocked but pasting into %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ is not :)

    smart! will this trick work on chrome? in my case, I just keep firefox (librewolf) for personal browsing, I do work on corporate browser (chrome), but it's still annoying to see ads while working

    It would be far better to consult your employer. Bypassing restrictions is not a good look.

    LOL

    Fuck the employer, we riot and strike every few months, does it look like we care about employer regulations and company image? Without us the company will die and the head of state won’t allow it, so we do basically whatever we want.

    Plus safety isn’t the issue here, not when Internet Explorer 6 or 7 was the only supported browser till late 2023. We are talking here about the non safety critical "admin network", the network with only the administrative computer (emails, word processors etc).

    The really safety critical network is air tight from the administrative world and Internet, it runs on Linux with tons of hardware redundancy.

    Windows machines are just glorified type writers and internet browsing screens, they serve no operational business.
