Extension stops working abruptly with no explanation
34 public reports · first reported 6 December 2023 · last reported 6 June 2025

Update and donation pop-up tabs cannot be turned off
31 public reports · first reported 24 April 2024 · last reported 8 October 2024

Google Drive rclone downloads throttled to a few MB/s
28 public reports · first reported 25 August 2026 · last reported 2 September 2026
Users of rclone who move files to or from Google Drive report that transfers slow to a few megabytes per second for long stretches each day, often in the evening or on weekdays. The same files download quickly through Google's web interface, which makes people suspect throttling of third-party clients.
-

27 public reports · first reported 26 May 2018 · last reported 2 July 2026
Many reviews describe the right-click add-on working on some pages but failing on particular sites. Reported examples include Spotify, Instagram, eBay, Amazon, the Kindle web reader, Google Docs with copy disabled, and several blogs and shops.

Rating pop-ups keep covering and interrupting videos
27 public reports · first reported 23 May 2023 · last reported 15 December 2025
A large share of reviews from Firefox users complain that the add-on repeatedly asks for a rating. The prompt often appears as a pop-up over the video, sometimes every time a video starts, and sometimes after the user has already rated it.
-
Extension stops working in Firefox after updates
25 public reports · first reported 16 June 2023 · last reported 4 January 2026
Many Firefox users say the 1Password extension stopped opening, did nothing when its toolbar icon was clicked, or failed to load sites after a recent update. Some needed a workaround of disabling and re-enabling it on each restart, and others reported console errors on web pages.
-
YouTube detects the add-on and blocks playback
25 public reports · first reported 14 August 2023 · last reported 4 December 2023
Many reviewers of this Firefox add-on say that YouTube recognized the blocker after a site change and stopped playing videos, showing warnings or blank players instead. Some say they could only watch when the add-on was disabled or when using a private window.
-
CPU stays high even when add-on is idle
24 public reports · first reported 8 November 2024 · last reported 8 October 2026
Many Firefox users say this CORS header add-on keeps one or more CPU cores busy all the time, even with no browsing, with the feature switched off, or after a Firefox update. Some describe fans running hot, computers slowing to a crawl, and a Task Manager entry showing very heavy use.
-
OneDrive personal setup fails with 403 on drive lookup
22 public reports · first reported 20 August 2026 · last reported 26 August 2026
Adding a personal OneDrive account through rclone config fails with a 403 error during the drive lookup, even though the account works in a browser. The fallback is reading a drive ID from the Graph endpoint and typing it into the config by hand, which many users cannot do easily.

Rclone mount invisible to Radarr Sonarr and Plex on Linux
22 public reports · first reported 16 August 2026 · last reported 18 August 2026
Home media users mount a cloud remote on Linux and then find that Radarr, Sonarr, or Plex cannot see the folder or its contents.

Dozens of Firefox users asked for the older Bitwarden popup to return, or for an option to switch between the classic and new layouts. Many long-time customers say the redesign broke habits built over years, and some said they had downgraded or planned to leave.
-
Google OAuth publish blocked without homepage URL
21 public reports · first reported 20 August 2026 · last reported 2 September 2026
People creating their own Google OAuth client ID for rclone find the publish button greyed out, because Google now requires a homepage URL and privacy policy on the Branding page. Individuals without a domain feel this is absurd for personal backups.
-

20 public reports · first reported 19 December 2019 · last reported 24 May 2026
Many users of this Firefox add-on for Twitch report that its features quit working after browser or Twitch updates, starting around early 2025.

19 public reports · first reported 3 January 2025 · last reported 9 March 2025
