Anytime I run a Flash game, Firefox closes! I have updated all add-ons and extentions, disabled Adobe DLM and went through the suggestions to fix this issue. NOTHING WORKS! What do I do?
The game I am trying to play is on Facebook. The internet and other sites work as normal, but when I load a flash game the game begins for about 30 seconds and then freezes and firefox shuts down. I have used INTERNET EXPLORER and the games loads fine. This issue is with firefox plugins, extensions, add-ons...or whatever. I don't know what to do to get this to work properly.
Thank you so much, for once in my computer life I knew what the problem was, what caused it, why it was caused, what it did, what it made it do and most importantly how to fix it and to do it correctly and expeditiously. I can not Thank You all enough for all of the help! I also have Pogo mailed this to all on my friends list, where they have all learned as I have and have fixed theirs also. and the message is being spread. Thank You again, I just can not say it enough.

I have FF 15.0.1 freshly installed on a new Win7-PC (home premium 64bit).
I have tried to install Adobe Flash from their site as well as through the automatically proposed add-on. Both claim it was "installed successfully". But when I check the addon-list, it's not there. Restarting firefox doesn't work.
I have some other plugins (pdf-reader) and extensions (ghostery, adblock) installed and they are working fine.
FF keeps me asking to install the plugin. I install it, and it's not there - asking me to install it. And so on. Could keep me busy for hours ;-(
Please help! Thanks :)There's an addon you can install called Nightly Tester Tools that will disable the addon compatibility check in Firefox. Download it, and it will appear in the, uh, "Firefox" menu (upper left corner). There should be an option that says "force addon compatibility". Check that, then restart Firefox.
There is an option under the about:config page that will turn it off, but I forgot the command. And you DON'T want to mess with the about:config page unless you know what you're doing.
For Java, I found a better answer than "download Palemoon". Here's what I did, don't know if it will work for you.
There are two versions of Java that are safe currently: Java Version 7 Update 7, and Java Version 6 Update 35. I was having a problem getting Firefox to recognize 7 u7, but it could recognize 6 u35 just fine. So here's what I did:
1) I went to Oracle's website and downloaded the JRE directly from them, NOT from Firefox when it says to install the addon. Here is their site: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Make sure you download the JRE, and NOT the JDK, unless you plan on making your own Java apps.
2) Download the following:
Java 7 u 7 (32 bit)
Java 7 u 7 (64 bit)
Java 6 u 35 (32 bit)
Install both Java 7's first, then install Java 6 u 35.
3) When you restart Firefox, go to your addons page and see which Java plugin it is pointing to. If it is pointing to version 6 u 35, then you are having the same problem as me, and I would just keep version 6 u 35. It should work and be compatible with Firefox, cause it worked for me.
If it says it is pointing to Java 7 u 7, then you can uninstall version 6 u 35. I would keep the 64 bit version of 7 u7 just in case you have a 64 bit browser like IE that you want to use it with. But that's what finally worked for me: download all three and throw them at Firefox and hope one of them sticks.
Hope that helps. -

In Firefox 5.0 I cannot view add-ons and can't tell if they're running.
When I click on Tools | Add-ons, Firefox just takes me to the Mozilla Web page for add-ons instead of showing me a list of the add-ons installed on this machine. I can't tell what add-ons are running and which are not. I re-installed Forecastfox, but I still can't see the Forecastfox information icons at the bottom of the browser screen. Adblock Plus is running, but now it has its own place in the Tools menu, separate from other add-ons.
Whew! Thanks. I wasn't expecting the information to be in the browser window. And now that I selected View Add-on Bar I can see the Forecastfox weather info. Thank you again.

I have tried disabling all Add-ons.
I've reinstalled FireFox 6 three time.
Slide show pics fail to load.
I have all of the proper Flash and Shockwave type Add-ons.
I just can't resolve the problem.
Yet my browser repeatedly locks upSending a solution that I have already tried is of no help, but I tried them all again, reloading works sometimes, I have seen in the past that others have had this problem also, of pages not completely loading. So I don't see how you can say I am the only one. When I first started using Firefox it worked great but now it doesn't, one of the updates caused this problem. I guess it's back to IE as it works fine now.

Can't add new search engines from Mycroft Project in FF 10.0.2. Error message states: "you will need a browser which supports opensearch to install this plugin"
You're welcome.
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?
Personally, I would never use a debit card online, for security reasons. If your card gets hacked its your money that is stolen. At least with a credit card it is the card providers money that is stolen.
Anyway, I would delete the app and re-install. If you paid for the app in the first place you will be able to re-install free of charge. Also, the app should allow the in-app purchase to happen again as it should recognise that you have already purchased it previously.
Finally, it might be that the 3G doesnt have as much ram as more recent models of iphone and you may have applications running in the background that are preventing the app to function with the in-app purchase unless you shut down any apps eating all you memory that are running in the background. Shut-down these apps (and the simpson tap out app) by exiting to your home screen and double-tapping the home button to show what apps are running in the background. press and hold any of the open apps until it starts shaking. close all the apps down. exit then re-launch the app.
good luck. -

Since I upgraded to Firefox 36 a few days ago my MacBook Air's battery has been draining at a horrendous rate when I've got Firefox open. For instance, just now when I'd not got Firefox open, my activity monitor told me I've got two hours usage, but as soon as I opened Firefox (even with not having a window open) my usage was instantly downgraded to about 50 minutes. I'm having to recharge the lappy every four hours, which is ridiculous - and wasn't happening until I installed the upgrade.
On top of that, since I installed the upgrade, Firefox has crashed at least once a day, which hasn't happened at all in the nine months I've had this MacBook Air.
This isn't like you guys! What's happened?Hi Cathy, it is mysterious why Firefox is so busy. Often Firefox has cache maintenance and other tasks that make a lot of disk accesses, but they shouldn't run continuously.
Could you try operating Firefox in its Safe Mode for a while to see whether that makes any difference? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference? -
With some research I found regedit setting called “TabProcGrowth” that allows tabs to span without re-authenticating with certain browsers. Can you tell me how to fix this issue for my Mozilla Firefox users? Our current version of Mozilla Firefox is: 24.5.0 (x86 en-US). This was first noticed with a product called Confluence that we use in our Tech Support area. Users are having to reenter their password every time they click on a new link in confluence. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,Hi Bernie:
As long as you are accessing your internal server on http:// or https:// then I would expect the normal rules to apply. To see whether some external requests are being blocked, you might try using Firefox's Web Console, Network tab.
You can open the console in the lower part of a tab using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+k
* "3-bar" menu button > Developer > Web Console
* (menu bar) Tools menu > Web Developer > Web Console
Click "Network" on the top bar of the Web Console.
Then use the address bar or a bookmark to launch Confluence in the same tab. Each request made by Firefox should be displayed along with the result. You can click a row for more details.
When I look up "TabProcGrowth" it seems related to the Protected Mode feature of IE8 and newer, which is not (yet) applicable to Firefox. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/askie/archive/2009/03/09/opening-a-new-tab-may-launch-a-new-process-with-internet-explorer-8-0.aspx
However, if Confluence is heavily reliant on plugins such as Flash or Java, that could be a factor because plugins are run out-of-process in Firefox. In that case I suggest checking with Confluence for suggestions. -
Firefox checks for updates to add-ons every time it starts?
Every time I click my shortcut to open Firefox, a window pops up. This window scans my installed add-ons and checks for updates. Then, Firefox opens. One of my add-ons, "Zotero Word Integration" tries to install itself every time. If I have an instance of Microsoft Word open, this installation fails, but ultimately, Firefox opens and runs fine. The add-on scan takes approx. 30 seconds, so if I accidentally close FF, it's a big hassle. This first started happening after I updated to FF 8. I downloaded and installed FF7 but the problem persisted. Now, I am back to FF8, but, alas, nothing has changed. None of my other add-ons are having problems except for the ones that aren't compatible with FF8 yet. FYI, I do have Roboform, but it is the current version, both to-go, and everywhere.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache, extensions.rdf) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

I click the "Tools" tab, then click the "Add-ons" tab. If I then click anywhere on the "Add-ons" dialog box, the dialog box immediately closes. I can't install plug-ins or add-ons. However, this happens only with my account. Other users have no such problem. I have also tried going to the "Add-ons" dialogue box through "Tools" then "Options." I still cannot get into the "Add-ons" tab; the dialog box closes. I have tried using the keyboard instead of the mouse; same problem.
