FireFox Add-ons tab wont load and addons web page is blocked

I just installed FireFox onto a brand new hard drive, when I open firefox and click add-ons the addon tab will not load it just tells me when its connected to the internet the tab will appear but it is connected, also when I go to the addon web page it is blocked a picture comes up of a yellow background with a black 'stick' man with two options get me out of here or add exception i added an exception but then the page just loads wrong.

You probably have Malware installed on your system. See this article:
* [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]
After making sure that you are not infected anymore, you can install add-ons and themes as you like. This is the add-ons web link -> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
Check and tell if its working.

Firefox on Linux crashes when loading java script web page while running on Windows works fine

Hello all,
well in my effort in writting php I frequently use phpanywhere.com
The site loads successfully in both Windows and Linux setup (fully up-dated). However, when I press on .php file so to begin editing the Linux installed Firefox crashes and closes down every time (also when using different preference under JacaScript menu). Windows setup seems to have no problem at all.
This has been checked in three different PC with Ubuntu Maveric installed on them. In all these cases Firefox crashes.
Any possible ideas on that one?

I have the same problem. I've never been able to identify when it started. Once firefox crashes, mpd, if it was playing, becomes unresponsive. The only way to get a flash site working again is to reboot my computer.
I uninstalled flash: I'm not going to put up with that kind of behaviour. Now I watch youtube videos on other people's computers --you know how they say "You've GOT to see this movie!". And if I really need to see that one specific video, there's youtube-dl.
Unfortunately gnash doesn't work on youtube for me.

Firefox 14.0.1 Get Add-ons stuck on "Loading"

I just purchased a new computer and, in utter spite of Internet Explorer, have downloaded trusty ol' Firefox. Unfortunately, the Get Add-ons is stuck with a bubble that says "Loading" but never actually does.
I am using Firefox version 14.0.1, downloaded directly from the Mozilla site. I have let the thing load for almost an hour, and nothing has happened. I have tried clicking on "Extensions" or "Appearance", etc. but it hasn't helped. Every time I go back to the Get Add-ons tab it will simply say "Loading." I have also tried doing a search for a specific add-on, only to get the same thing, but in the "Search" tab.
I have also tried rebooting the computer, rebooting Firefox, and uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox (i kept my preferences, etc. when I did this).
Does anyone have any suggestions? I really love Firefox and I hate to think that I would have to find another browser to use because I can't download Adblocker Plus.

Only had to remove the extensions.sqlite, and it fixed the problem perfectly. Thank you very much.

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.

In past versions of ff I have used Tab Renamizer add-on to allow me to rename the main tab in each profile. Does anyone know of any firefox add-ons that have a similar features to Tab Renamizer?

I run several firefox profiles at the same time. In the past I have used Tab Renamizer to label the main tab in each profile. I like this because then I can tell them a part from the drop-down list in win 7 when switching between profiles. The new version of firefox is not supported by this add-on. Does anyone know of any firefox add-ons that have a similar feature?
Using firefox 7.0.1

core-el, i don't see the advantage of that or i can't figure out how i'm supposed to use it. for starters, i have to click the mouse in order to get "add bookmark here" to open, which is no different than clicking on the star in the location bar, or right-clicking on the page. there are also options in the bookmarks toolbar, but they all require clicking the mouse & holding down the right button, etc.
my goal is to use keystrokes only. typing on the keyboard, using both hands, using the space bar & my left pinky finger to tab over are all painless routines for me. as soon as i have to take my fingers off the keyboard & use the mouse, the pain begins.
as i said, in older versions of firefox, all i had to do to bookmark a page was click ctrl>d, then tab over & arrow down, when appropriate, to find the folder & add the bookmark. for me, as a touch-typist whose speed is between 60 & 80 wpm, this is lightning fast.
if i have this wrong, please correct me. i just see it as more mouse clicks that don't save me time or pain.

I use Google chrome and for no reason all my add-ons will not load.

Yesterday AM when I logged onto my laptop and opened Google home page, none of my add-ons (gadgets) would load. This has gone on for 2 days now.
I have rebooted, checked to make sure the site was listed as safe for add-ons and checked settings. Nothing has worked so far. Also when I clicked on "change google themes" there was no response.
Any ideas?

If your problem is with Google Chrome you would be better off asking in the Google Chrome support forums - http://www.google.com/support/chrome/

Trying to install autofills, now firefox add-ons are all out of whack. think i might need to uninstall and re-install add-onns?

I had been trying to add on autofills in firefox, and have managed to throw EVERYTHING out of kilter, and I don't know enough about the Firefox add-ons feature to know where to begin to repair it to normal conditions. Suffice to say that the autofill add on feature does not work at all.

Which autofill extension did you install?
Did you check for reported issues in the comments on its Add-on page?
If the extension isn't working properly then you need to uninstall this extension and possibly look for another extension.

How to view all add-ons in a category at the Firefox add-ons section

When I browse for add-ons within a chosen category, only a few special-featured add-ons appear. Below this are samples of "top rated" "new" etc. add-ons in ALL categories and these have a "browse all top rated" or "...all new" but I can find no option to browse all add-ons in the CHOSEN CATEGORY...how can I get to the pages of allo add-ons within the chosen category and not just the special featured ones???

Wow, I didn't notice that change because I usually search for addons. It seems that every time they update the Addons website immediately before a Firefox major version release, they remove some important or useful function. Looks like Mozilla managed to screw it up worse than it was before.
The support forum for that part of the Mozilla websites is here: <br />

[SOLVED] Firefox add-ons from AUR?

Can someone enlighten me about the advantages and disadvantages of installing Firefox add-ons from the AUR?
I used to install add-ons from https://addons.mozilla.org or from the author's website.

Why does Firefox add-ons manager install old version of LastPass?

After using Chrome in MS Windows for four years I have recently been considering a return to Firefox as my primary web browser.
After installing Firefox v26.0 my first requirement was to get the LastPass add-on, which I did via Firefox's "Add-Ons Manager". I signed in to my LastPass account and all should now have been well.
Not quite. Whenever I launched Firefox and logged in to LastPass, Firefox would hang for about a minute. The same occurred when I updated or created a LastPass record.
Then I checked the version of the LastPass plug-in: 2.0.20, built 2013-02-08. That's from eleven months ago!
I tried the update feature on the LastPass add-on menu, but it did nothing, so I went to LastPass.com and downloaded the latest version (3.0.12, built 2013-12-03). After a restart all was indeed well.
I had the exact same experience with Firefox on Linux, by the way.
Question: Why does the Firefox Add-Ons Manager point to an extremely out-of-date version of the LastPass Toolbar? Is this the fault of the Mozilla team or of LastPass themselves?
Whoever is at fault, it must be corrected and soon. I very nearly gave up on my switch back to Firefox because of this. I'm sure others will have had the same experience.

hello Jesse_Penny, thanks for your insight - according to [https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2014/01/08/add-ons-update-42/ public information] from mozilla's addons team, reviews for updated addons at addons.mozilla.org currently take around 5 days - so i don't know if this would warrant pulling out of AMO, which causes the issues the question owner has described...

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.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I am unsure what caused it. I have tried re-installing firefox.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

In Firefox Add-ons Themes, how do I place the items in My Collections in the order of my choice?

In Firefox > Add-ons > Themes, how do I place the items in My Collections in the order of my choice, rather than the default?

Hi Yanele, I think they display in the order that you installed them. However I have never tried to move the folders of each add on in the profile folder. I do know that in the Profile Folder there is an addon.json folder. This is where the list of add ons populate. However there is also other information that has the file path information to make the add ons function. (manifest file)
It is possible to manually edit the order in that file, however it is not recommended because it could break. I would recommend giving feedback and suggesting the order customization if you would like. If you have any questions about this we are happy to help.

How do I restore the add-ons that I downloaded and installed?

I thought I wanted to be a Firefox 4 beta tester. I downloaded the program and proceeded to install. During the installation, a message popped up and said these add-ons were not supported. I think it disabled either some or all of the add-ons. It continued with the installation. I don't know if this is related or not but I use Google Chrome while using Facebook to play some game applications. Every time that I have used Chrome today, I get "page unresponsive" message with the option to kill the page or wait for it to become responsive. That message is followed by "the following plug-in is unresponsive": shockwave flash player would you like to stop it? Well, if you click "yes" you can't play, if you click "no" it eventually crashes anyway. I finally uninstalled Firefox 4 beta. When I went back into Firefox 3.6, I noticed that the Zynga toolbar that I downloaded to use with my Facebook game applications is gone. Like I said I don't know if the one problem is related to the other but I wasn't having any issues with Google Chrome until I downloaded and installed Firefox 4 beta. I need to know how to restore to those add-ons that I downloaded and installed prior to downloading the Firefox 4 beta program.

If I upgrade to Windows 7 from XP, does this affect my mozilla firefox add-ons? Also, what else will it potentially affect?

1.) I will be updating an operating system from XP to Windows 7. I'm just wondering what kind of impact this will have on my mozilla firefox add-ons. Will they be deleted? After the Windows 7 installation, will they need to be installed again?
2.) After installing the new operating system, will I have to completely set up the browser window settings or will they remain the same?
3.) Also, I'm currently using Xmarks. I know this will save the bookmarks, but will this also preserve the browser settings?
Let me know if I need to explain and make anything more clear. I will do my best : )
Thanks!

1/ Firefox extensions that work in Windows XP should work in Windows 7. Most plugins for Windows XP will also work in Windows 7. If you find any plugins that are not working you should check the site for the plugin to see if they have an updated version for Windows 7.
2/ You should backup your important user data before performing the update. This applies to all your important user data, not just the Firefox user data. For details of how to backup your Firefox user data see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+your+information
After installing Windows 7 you will need to re-install Firefox. You can then use the method in the following link to recover the user data from the backup and restore it to the new profile folder - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
3/ You are probably better off asking this on the Xmarks forum - http://getsatisfaction.com/foxmarks
