Can't install any add-on if FF4.0.1

I have 2 versions of FF, latest 14.x and also 4.0.1 which I want to keep. I start both with different profiles using
path_to_firefox.exe -P profile_name -no-remote
With 14.x I have no problems, but can't install any add-on in 4.0.1 - I tried installing from web or from a .xpi file - in both cases the download progress bar fills to 100% and then stays there forever, without proceeding further.
Is there a way to manually install an add-on? By this I don't mean from .xpi file, but really manually - if I extract .xpi contents, where should I place the files, and which other files I have to modify to have an add-on working?
OS is XP sp3 pro 32-bit US-English
Thanks

  • I can't install any add-ons in muse

    I can't install any add-ons in muse or download the .mulib file to install it manually. Please, help. Also, it's pointless to download the .zxp file since Adobe Extension Manager does not support Muse. Any advice?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See:
    * [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]
    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)

  • Can't install any add-ons after upgrading to Firefox 4.. tried about:config, still nothing. How come?

    No matter which add-on I try to install, it says, "Software Installation is currently disabled. Click enable and try again." .. I've tried clicking enable as well as going to about:config and toggling xpi.enabled.. still nothing. Please help.

    Ok. Fixed it.
    Had to create a new profile.
    If anyone has (had) the same problem, and you have a lot of bookmarks you don't wanna lose, make sure you back them up on your old profile as a saved file--on your desktop, create a new profile, and then import them in your new profile.

  • I get error 0x80073cf9 now and I need help to FIX Windows Store can't update any Apps & can't install any Apps now?

    Hi I hope some one can tell me step by step how to fix windows 8.1, I can't update any of my Apps and can't install any new apps now and I get error code 0x80073cf9?  But my problem is different than most of the other FIXES I read about, because nothing
    fixes my problem to be able to install new Apps and get app updates and stop getting that error code?
    I keep getting same error code 0x80073cf9 after I try any of the FIXES I have read about and tried all  the fixes on  my Lenovo Z580 laptop, that came with windows 8 and updated to 8.1.  And ever since I bought this laptop I could
    always install and update all my apps for the last year when I had Win 8 and Win 8.1 now.   This has been going on since April and May and its driving me crazy!    And from the May updates I did get all the updates and
    I also installed the KB update  that said I need this KB to get all updates in the future.  
    But all the other people when they get this error code they could not even open and use any of their Apps already installed.  And they also get the error code when they try to update or get a new apps.   
    But I can click on any APP installed already and use all my Apps with no problems.     I have read so many how to fix this error code but nothing works! :-(      I have tried a lot of 
    the fixes on Microsoft forums that says do this and the fix will get rid of the error code but I keep getting the same error code after I try that  fixes.    And I have read a lot of other windows 8 an windows 8.1  web sites when
    I search for how to fix this error code?   And tried all of the fixes that were different from the Microsoft forum fixes. But after I try those fixes I still can't install any apps or can't get my app updates? 
    Please to any person's who can help me by giving me  more that 1 fix, because I have tried so many fixes, If you know more that 1 fix tell me how to do your fix step by step so I can understand what you say to do to fix my windows store? 
    Thanks for any and all help?  And if I don't get any help in this section of the forum I will try to put this in a different area, if I don't get any help at this section of the forum I will try to ask this in another part of he forum ok?   
    I really need HELP with this so I can get my laptop working again to install new apps and get the updates to my apps? 

    Fixed the problem by going to settings/store and logging out with apple ID.  Then logged back in with password and updates, apps, and iTunes store seem to work ok now.

  • Can't install any OS on SSD - DV7-6030ew

    Hello,
    I have Kingston SSDNow V SNV125 64GB (~4 years old) which had been running fine in my PC BOX. I have recently bought new SSD and decided to put old SSD into my DV7-6030ew laptop. So I took out HDD from NB and replaced it with Kingston SSD.
    The problem is that I can't install any OS on this SSD. I tried:
    XP - after "Press  any key to boot from CD or DVD" I got setup screen and after few seconds I got BSOD. I tried three different XP versions - always the same BSOD.
    Win 7 - tried many times. System always installs successfully but then after random driver installation or Windows Update system doesn't boot. It freezes at windows splash screen or launches "System Recovery Options". I always install Intel Chipset driver and Intel MEI first. These two never killed the OS. OS gets killed later after GPU/Wi-Fi/Fingerprint/Other driver. Sometimes it happens that I setup all drivers but Windows Update kills OS. My last installation ended up with "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" during boot and now every restart it freezes at splash screen. I tried installing Intel Rapid Storage but it doesn't help.
    Win 8 with Update 1 - always installs successfully and almost always I'm able to setup all drivers (even through Windows Update). It always dies after Windows Update (random KBxxxxx).
    Ubuntu Linux - Installed successfully. Right after desktop showed up I restarted it (I didn't change anything) and I got "no such partition" error during boot.
    I have bought HP Sata cable replacement on EBay and put the old HDD into the second bay and connected it through this cable. So I have SSD in first bay connect with original HP cable and HDD in second bay connected with replacement cable. I have created two new 40GB partitions on HDD and setup two new Windows installation on this HDD. Both installed successfully. No problem with drivers, windows update etc. I tried copying one of these good installations from HDD partition to SSD using "Paragon migrate OS to SSD". It went well but during boot -> splash screen -> "System Recovery Options". I also tried to copy it through Paragon Partition Manager from Hiren's Boot CD but during boot I got this screen.
    Unfortunately the SSD is old and there is no firmware upgrade for it. NB has the newest F.1B bios installed.
    Why I can't install anything on this SSD? Please help.
    Regards
    Rychu

    Hey @RychuPL ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to use your SSD in your DV7 notebook.
    Were both drives connected during the tests that you have run? If so please disconnect the secondary drive and test with only the SSD installed. It could be that the BIOS is picking up part of the Boot MGR from the original drive and attempting to boot from it in some way. Only thing that really makes sense to me at the moment.
    Another "solution" (and I use the term very loosely in this case) is to install Windows 7 or 8 while offline and turn off the Windows updates to prevent the crash, or if it crashes after a specific update, to uninstall and block that specific update:
    To do this follow these steps: (Windows 8)
    1. Boot into safe mode: Windows Startup Settings (including safe mode)
    2. Press Windows Key + X.
    3. Click Programs and Features.
    4. Click View Installed Updates on the left hand side.
    5. Click on the Installed On heading to sort by date installed.
    6. Click on the update that was recently installed.
    7. Click Uninstall at the top.
    8. After you've uninstalled the updates test the startup.
    If it works, block the Windows updates that caused the issue: (Windows 8)
    1. Press Windows Key + X.
    2. Click Control Panel
    3. Click System and Security.
    4. Click Windows Update.
    5. Click Check for updates to rescan for available updates.
    6. Click on # important updates are available. Where # is the number of available updates.
    7. Right click on the update and choose Hide update. If the update is not shown, click the Optional tab on the left.
    If you use Windows 7 follow these steps to get into the update list:
    1. Boot into safe mode: Start your computer in safe mode
    2. Click Start.
    3. Type Update in the search.
    4. Click View installed updates.
    5. Click on the Installed On heading to sort by date installed.
    6. Click on the update that was recently installed. 
    7. Click Uninstall at the top.
    8. After you've uninstalled the updates test the startup.
    To block the updates in Windows 7:
    1. Click Start.
    2. Type Update in the search.
    3. Click Windows Update.
    4. Click Check for updates.
    5. Click on # important updates are available. Where # is the number of available updates.
    6. Right click on the update and choose Hide update. If the update is not shown, click the Optional tab on the left.
    To be frank I really don't have any suggestions other than that considering you've tried multiple operating systems with identical results. 
    Hopefully removing the HDD allows the SSD to work. In which case formatting the drive or running KillDisk would be the best option.
    Hopefully that helps!

    My I pad is not connected to I tunes. I can't install any app. What could be the proble? Whenever I try to open app store it ggives me message that I cannot conect o I tune.

    Hello Marwasambo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    If the steps above didn't resolve your issue, be sure that your specific alert isn't listed as a possible iTunes Store error. Then, if your issue is still unresolved, follow these steps.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • I just upgraded to 10.7.3 and now I can't install any applications.

    I just upgraded to 10.7.3 and now I can't install any applications. Everything else in the OS and in applications seems to work OK. After the installers ask for the system password, they do nothing. I doesn't hang; it just won't proceed any further in the install process. I can press the back button and it seems to do that just fine. I repaired the disk permissions, but to no avail.
    After I installed 10.7.3, I tried to install an updater that was listed as being recommended for Time Machine users. That was the first time I tried to launch an installer of any sort and it did the same as above. I've gathered since then that the update wasn't necessary and was already included in the 10.7.3 I loaded today.
    Any hints?

    I'm having a similar problem after installing 10.7.3 and the Messages beta. I've unistalled Mesages with little bit of trouble.. Linc, I followed the step given in your final post any help would be appreciated.
    A screenshot of my actual error. I get this error not just for Flash, but also Handbrake. I receieve th error even when I try using a programs automatic update. However, not suprisingly I do not get the message when using Apple's software update.

  • I brought  I pad air 3 months ago, but recently I can't install any application and can't make an update. Even I can't install the free application. I can see ... There is a previous purchase problem please Singh up your bank information again. Plz help

    Hi , I brought an I pad air 3 months ago. But recently I can't install any application and can't update any application. Even I can't install any free application. I can see one dialogue box about in red colors " there is a previous purchase problem please type your bank information correctly" . So I don't know what to do please help me. Thanks

    The message implies that a previous purchase may not have been paid-for due to problems collecting the money from your account. Have you tried logging into your account and updating/changing your payment details (tap on your in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad and tap 'view Apple id' on the popup and sign into it) ? Until there is an accepted payment method on your account (credit card, redeemed iTunes gift cards) and what you owe has been paid then you won't be able to download anything (including app updates).

  • I can't install any apps on my phone

    I bought a new cellphone and I can't install any app on my iPhone 5s !

    Could you help me?

    Asha 501 isn't supporter by Nokia suite, so you can't install apps from PC like any other Nokia phone.
    You aren't able to access Nokia store via Wifi as well?. I would suggest a phone settings reset, you *will* lose data stored on the phone so backup before you decide to reset it.
