Firefox 4.0 will not find update to 4.0.1, add-ons for 4.0.1 will not run

30 May 2011, 18:22h UTC
Downloaded 4.0 UK-edition on my laptop, the 4.0 US-edition on my desktop, and the 4.0 UK-edition on a 2nd laptop.
On mine, updates to 4.0.1 are not found, some add-ons were taken off, as incompatible, that ran on the 4.0 on my desktop (and weren't on the 2nd laptop). Add-ons, now already even compatible with 4.0.1 (running on the 2nd laptop) will not run as 'incompatible' with 4.0 (though listed on the add-ons site as compatible.
It has stopped telling me that 'something' is pretending to be an update from Firefox (whatever that 'something' be?) since setting the browser to updating manually, but asking me first what to do. All currently installed add-ons have not asked me for some time (though on other computers), and also report as fully up-t0-date.
Ergo: Neither Firefox 4.0 nor any installed add-ons update correctly.
Didn't crash, though it 'likes' doing that after printing (always Badly! with dreadful printing options/previews), leaving two tabs (rather than the one before), both of which only can be shut from their context menus. Crash reports have been sent with same email address, but not been answered. This browser has all the qualities of a Beta-release and needs some serious overhauls (it's also not very new or much safer!).
Example for an add-on that won't install on 4.0, but will under 4.0.1: CookieMonster - which is desperately needed, given your browser still suffers from minimal, insufficient cookie management, incl. lists of domains that wish to set 'another' cookie when no cookies are as yet, allegedly, sitting on the computer.

I've since updated manually to 4.0.1, but haven't yet tried the full uninstall version, because I have to export plenty of settings first (and/or manually copy them). Also means I'd have to start from scratch with many customizations in No Script.
That said, I'll try the 'Safe Mode' option tonight, thank you :-)!
If I have to uninstall the whole shebang, I'd be more tempted to go back to 3.6.x until a few more of 4's teething problems (e.g. the messy print dialogues, particularly preview, which regularly doesn't even work) have been tackled.
Thanks-1M! for now - keep you posted.

Firefox opens a dialog box when I use the browser, "Checking add-ons for compatibility..." then open the Firefox start page along with my homepage. I do not want the Firefox page when I open the browser. how do I stop this?

Since Firefox updated it checks add-ons every time I open Firefox. The Firefox homepage then opens along with my home page, two tabs. I want the checking to stop. This has not happened before--only with this update.

Adobe application manager not finding updates on PSE11

There should be a camera raw 7.4 update available, but it is not being found and I am not sure what other updates are not being found.
In addition I did a manual download of Adobe Patch Installer and when it was launched got the following message in the UPDATES pop up:
> Error loading Updater workflow
I suspect this may be the root cause of the application manager not finding updates.
Any suggestions on how to get this Updater workflow to load?

FYI - I did an un-install and re-install of PSE11 and it looks like that has worked as the system is now recognizing available updates :-)

After updating to v. 24.0 (and restarting) ALL add-ons (regardless whether they work or not) are marked "(disabled)", and clicking Enable button does nothing

After updating to v. 24.0 (and restarting, several times) ALL add-ons (regardless whether they work or not) are marked "(disabled)". I tried clicking "Enable" button for each add-on and nothing happened. There is only one add-on which is marked as incompatible with this version (but it was also incompatible with previous version, and so marked).
Clicking "Update Add-ons", gives a short list of add-ons but "Install Updates" button is pale and doesn't work. I can only sort list by name or last update.
Also, I disabled Ask Toolbar and that went well. When I click "Enable" button (button works ONLY for this add-on) it takes forever to get note: “Ask Toolbar will be enabled after you restart Firefox”, I used to get this info in seconds time before this update. (I do not really want Ask Toolbar, I just used it to see whether if I disable and then enable an add-on might do the trick.)
Bottom line – I can not tell if add-on works (i.e. if it is enabled or disabled) unless I try using it.
Even when I posted this question and installed Troubleshooter, it's also marked as "(disabled)"

You're welcome
Are this screenshots from an extension window because the built-in about:addons page looks different?

Have a bluetooth issue, my iphone 5 is not finding any bluetooth divises. trying to connect to bluetooth hands free but its not searching the divice. what do i do to connect bluetooth headset.

my iphone 5 is not finding any bluetooth divises. trying to connect to bluetooth hands free but its not searching the divice. what do i do to connect bluetooth headset.

have you tried toggling bluetooth off/on again? if so, try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If you still can't detect or pair with any compatible bluetooth device you should offer the device for service.
If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Using his article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
Good luck

WCF Published Orch - Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding MetadataExchangeHttpBinding

I have an orchestration published as a web service. It was working fine on our test environment, we deployed to production, and now getting this error. The website wouldn't go in the BizTalk MSI, so we copied the files. We reset the Authentication
to match the test system (we are using Basic Auth).
When we try to browse the webservice in the browser, it prompt for userid/password, we enter it, then it gives the following error.
I'm not even sure what it means by "base address", if URL was https://prod.mydomain.com/myapp/myservice.svc, would https://prod.mydomain.com be the based address? In the test environment, the URL is https://test.mydomain.com/myapp/myservice.svc.
In both environments, we have a customer calling this webservice.
Also, I don't know what it means "scheme http". We are using https:... on the URL.
I'm thinking this is either security related, something to do with the app pool being different, or maybe something to do with bindings.
Thanks,
Neal Walter

When you want to migrate Web Applications from one environment to other there are multiple ways to achieve it.
1) Migrate in MSI- Export MSI and select the option for your Web Application, however I don't recommend this option
2) Is to browse the folder for Web Application(Right click on web app and browse). Copy this folder(normally within inetpub folder) and take it to the inetpub folder of other environment. Later from the IISManager create application.
Are you not using the same Binding file?
Check you web.config file and see if the endpoint is configured for mexHTTpBinding.
Old: binding="mexHttpBinding"
New: binding="mexHttpsBinding"
web.config snippet:
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="LIMS.UI.Web.WCFServices.Accessioning.QuickDataEntryService">
<endpoint behaviorConfiguration="AspNetAjaxBehavior" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="webBinding"
contract="LIMS.UI.Web.WCFServices.Accessioning.QuickDataEntryService" />
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
Also look into the below article- How to fix: "Could not find a base
address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding WebHttpBinding" Errors
Moving to https = Could not find a base address that matches scheme

Can not find solaris 64 9.0.1.5 patch for repository installation

Hi,
I found in oracle10gAS installation guide that I need to apply patch 9.0.1.5 or later in order to use an existing oracle 9 database for my repository. The problem is that I can not find oracle db 9.0.1.5 patch for solaris 64bit. The latest patch for solaris 64 is 9.0.1.4. Does anyone know if I can use the 9.0.1.4 patch or where I can find 9.0.1.5?
9.0.1.5 only exists for solaris 32 versions.
Thanks

HT201210 The iPad "My iPad" could not be updated. This device isn't eligible for the requested build.

It says, 'The iPad "My iPad" could not be updated. This device isn't eligible for the requested build." I don't get an error number. It's an iPad 2.

Have you tried following the troubleshooting for that error message on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 ?

Hey,
if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders. You can then navigate all the contents as normal.

When I downloaded the new Firefox about a week or two ago all my bookmarks, and add-ons disappeared and I want you to give them back to me asap?

When I downloaded the new Firefox about a week or two ago all my bookmarks, and add-ons disappeared and I want you to give them back to me asap?

You shouldn't wait that long to ask advice. Firefox only keeps a (rotating) backup of bookmarks for the last 5 days that you started Firefox. So you may be out of luck.
You can check that you still use your old default profile that had your bookmarks.<br />
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
For the extension, see "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

How do you completely disable the installation and use of add-ons for firefox 4? Is there a config setting/file that can be changed to completely disable add-ons?

I want to completley disable the installation and/or use of add-ons in Firefox 4. I don't want anybody that logs onto either of my computers to be able to use add-ons and I can't find a way to disable it in the configuration files. I've found ways to lock down other options like updates etc. but I cannot find a way to completely disable add-ons.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use a mozilla.cfg file to lock prefs or specify default values.<br />
You can place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder to specify using mozilla.cfg.
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
To prevent users from installing software use:
<pre><nowiki> //
lockPref("xpinstall.enabled" ,false);
</nowiki></pre>

Firefox 3.6 freezing / hanging most of the time. All add-ons disabled. Cache and cookies cleared. Help!

Firefox 3.6 freezing / hanging most of the time. All add-ons disabled. Cache and cookies cleared. Help!
Examples: Freezes for about 20 seconds every launch. Freezes quiting. Freezes switching tabs. Freezes clicking links.

Note that such issues can be caused by security software that blocks Firefox and possibly isn't initialized when you get (got) this issue.
So if it happens again then try to remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

How can I quickly and easily make Firefox on my newest computer the same as all my others (add-ons, extensions, etc.) without individually adding each one?

I have several computers throughout my house and work, but mainly use my "Desktop-MAIN. " I frequently add different add-ons, scripts, extensions, etc. as the need for one arises. When the time comes that I am using my laptop in bed, or my sons computer in the den (whatever) I find that they are missing many of the cute doodads I have become accustomed to on MY desktop computer. In Firefox I used FEBE backup, which would backup EVERYTHING, including extensions, add-ons, etc. I just had to take it to my other computers and run FEBE, import the backup file and "whala!" My browser had all of the add-ons and things that my main computer had - w/o having to manually add each one.

Just connect the new iPod to your computer and setup the iPod via iTunes (instead of via wifi).
If you want to copy all the infor from an old iPod touch to the inew iPod see:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

Firefox 4.0 will not find update to 4.0.1, add-ons for 4.0.1 will not run
