Firefox could not install the search plugin from "chrome://tnt2toolbar/content/yos.xml" because an engine with the same name already exists.

each time I open Fire Fox I get this error "Firefox could not install the search plugin from "chrome://tnt2toolbar/content/yos.xml" because an engine with the same name already exists." and
I can't search for anything. HELP!!!
Thanks
Tom

That is a problem with an extension that tries to install a search bar. The tnt2toolbar should give you a clue about which extension. You didn't add troubleshooting information with the list of installed extensions, so I can't give a suggestion about which extension is causing this.
You can check for problems with preferences.<br />
Rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • How do I fix seeing the message "Chrome://tnt2toolbar/content/yos.xml" every time I open Foxfire?

    I don't know what other details to provide. My stated question pretty much says it all.

    Thank you. This "sort-a" helped, but now I have a new problem. I stumbled across a drop-down window from the FOXFIRE program (starting from my "Program List"), and clicked on a "fix it" button. I now no longer get the message I wrote about earlier (I have no idea what the "fix it" actually did, but it worked). However, now I get the message: DO YOU WANT TO ALLOW THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM TO MAKE CHANGES TO THIS COMPUTER" every time I open Foxfire. I suppose I can just click "yes" each time, but it's annoying. I know how to make that go away, but if I do so, it will go away for ALL warnings, not just Foxfire. Don't I WANT to see that warning sometimes? How do I get it to NOT show up, but only when opening Foxfire? Is that possible to do?

  • Firefox could not download the search plugin from

    I have installed Firefox 24.0 recently and I am trying to install youtube Search Engine by opening www.youtube.com and clicking the Add "YouTube Video Search" in the search toolbar , but I get the following error message:
    Download Error
    Firefox could not download the search plugin from:
    http://www.youtube.com/opensearch?locale=en_GB
    Is it a Firefox problem, or a youtube error?

    Thank you for your reply.
    I don't want to install addon for youtube search. I just wanted to know if I can install the youtube search engine as before.
    After some reading on the internet I found that search engine is described by a small XML file that is available through a link on the page. All other pages with working search engines like Wikipedia or IMDb generates XML content or refers to XML file. But the link of youtube opensearch descriptor points to an opensearch.osdx file.
    I don't know if it is the extension, or if there is unsupported tag in it but Firefox is not willing to handle it and add youtube to the search engines.
    I found this page: http://www.tobtu.com/customsearch.php I copied the relevant tags to the input fields and added YouTube Video Srearch. Now it works fine.
    But the question remains: is it Firefox that cannot handle youtube's sandard opensearch descriptor or is it youtube.com that provides a faulty descriptor?

    Uninstall the Inbox Toolbar, following steps here:
    http://toolbar.inbox.com/faq.aspx?faqid=2876&faqmod=WST_Install#1
    Then retry opening Firefox.
    You can also try opening Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] (use Continue in Safe Mode first).
    If that works, reopen Firefox Safe Mode, but use the dialog option to '''Restore default search engines''' as shown at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode#Safe_Mode_window and press the '''Make changes and restart''' button.

  • Every time I launch Firefox it pops up an error stating "Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem."

    Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.
    The statement above is in the pop up error box every time, when I launch Firefox. If I click ok in the box Firefox then opens. How do I fix this initializing/launch problem?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • Help I need help. i get this message'Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.' How do i fix this?

    Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.
    Well that is the message i get. I can still use firefox(version3.6.8)

    You get that error if an extension is using an old and no longer supported method to install a plugin.
    Which plugin are you trying to install?

  • Messages could not be moved to the mailbox "Trash - "122730.emlx" couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists.

  • One particular plug-in that I am trying to install reports 'an engine with the same name already exists.' However I cannot find it, even using the troubleshooting routines

    Hi,
    I am trying to install a add-on that will enable Google to behave as if I am in the USA. When I try to install the add-on I get a message which says 'An engine with the same name already exists'. However, I can find no evidence of the add-on and I have been through the various troubleshooting routines. Anybody know of a way around this?
    I have looked at the list of installed plugins and cannot see it. So whty does does FireFox think it's there?

    Hey oks10,
    It sounds like the Bing plugin might have been corrupted. I would bet that it's still installed, but not working. Try removing it from the \searchplugins\ folder in your [http://support.mozilla.com/en-us/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile profile folder].
    I'd close and restart everything after you are done, then try installing it again.

  • HT5767 My mail all of a sudden would not allow me to delete messages in my inbox saying, "couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists." Found it duplicates the message I wanted deleted in trash.

    Still  using the @mac.com   mail  address and up   to date on everything, but have not gone to Maverick.  All of a sudden Mail wouldn't let me delete.  Said that title of email was already in trash.  And sure enough it was.  Clicking on the help button on the message gets Nothing.
    The selected topic is currently unavailable.
    The topic you were trying to view could not be found.
    "couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists."
    Any ideas.  My mail is not tied to gmail etc.. just all by it's lonesome.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Project Server 2010 and Report Builder 3 : the same name already exists

    Hi,
    I created my first report in Report Builder, and,
    although it's not perfect, I tried to save it. But I get the error :
    Impossible to save the report "No title.rdl". A file from another type with the same name already exists".
    I tried to change the name 5 times but I always got the same error.
    Any idea ?
    Thanks

    Hi WLID,
    I have taken a sample test in my environment, it works well. If there is already another type file named “No title” on report server, then it can be saved on report server. If there is already a report named “No title” on report server, then it would prompt
    that “An item named ‘http://servername/reportserver/foldername/No title’ already existed. Do you want to replace the existing item?” when we want to save the report in the same folder.
    What’s the location that you want to save the report? Is it a report server or others? Could you please provide us more information about the issue? You can try to reopen the Report Builder, then create another simple report to text the issue again.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • A workflow with the same name already exists.

    Hi, whenever I am trying to create a workflow in my MOSS teamroom, I am getting the error "A workflow with the same name already exists". I am getting this error message no matter what name I give. I checked all the lists and document libraries to see if there are any workflows but that doesnt seem to be the case. I opened the site in SPD and there also no workflows are listed.
    Any insight will be appreciated.xwindow

    I know it is a bit outdated but someone might found this helpful:
    The other possible problem could be that the SPD lost connection with the Sp site for a sec but on the local machine there is a workflow with that name. ( In this case if you try to rename your workflow it gave you the same error message )
    So have a look in SPD click on All files then select Workflows and delete the workflow that is causing the problem.
    After this exercise you will be able to rename or re save your Workflow.

  • Cannot delete read mail. Keep getting the following message "926540.emlx" couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists.

    I am trying to free up room on my hard drive but keep getting the following message. “926540.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists. 926540.emix is the number given to the email I want to delete. This message appears (with a different .emix number) when I try to delete any mail. I have junk mail from 2014 to 2009 that I want to delete

    Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox. Try again to delete the message.

  • "91590.emlx" couldn't be copied to "Messages" because an item with the same name already exists. How do I fix this?

    The delete button in Mail gives me this message: “91590.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists. The only thin that has changed is an OS update last evening. (Mountain Lion)

    Thanks...it was spooky seeing the mail in my box suddenly disappear and blank after going to Mailbox and Rebuild.  But "poof" it was up again and was able to delete without the messages telling me it had a duplicate in trash (which it did).  Solved the problem.

  • I cannot download Google or Yahoo toolbars. It says Firefox could not install file there is an error 203, what does this mean and what can I do to fix it?

    I have Firefox 3.6.16, I upgraded to Firefox 4 but there were many conflicts with Kaspersky so went back to 3.6.16 which is fine but I cannot get Google nor Yahoo toolbars to load. I have tried several times and the same thing happens. I have another computer that I did the same thing with but both toolbars loaded on it.
