When I open FF, it freezes, says it must check the disabled addons to see if there are updates or compatible addons

Think I found answer -- couldn't find this post on Mozilla but found it here (why is it not in my dashboard or profile? And why can I not find my posts easily?)
SOLUTION:
I ''think'' that by '''unchecking''' >Options>Advanced>Update>addons -- that this might be fixed.
Otherwise, I'll be back!
Below is my original rant <g>I am using FF Beta on WXP. When I open or reopen FF, it prevents me from using the program. A screen comes up saying it must check if there are compatible addons to disabled ones and gives me no alternatives (delete, kill, stop showing this, disable checking etc.) and no resources to stop this interference.
I must wait, check, press next, and then it tells me it cannot "find any updates for these incompatible programs, some problems were encountered trying to find updates to your incompativle add-ons" (suggesting I'm blameworthy) and threatening that "FF will check periodically" (i.e., stop you every time unless and until you find these hidden programs and do something but FF will only disrupt your work until you do some secret thing to stop these bloody intrusions) "and inform you when compatible updates for these addons are found."
In addition, I am completely prevented from opening FFB until I have waited, pressed enough buttons and clicked out of this freaking intrusion. Finally, I had to open IE to post this question as FFB prevents me from copying the offending messages and pasting them on FFB. Grrr. This is an unpleasant start to the day with FFBeta.
This is a mood killer and extremely disruptive. I want to stop the checking and or delete the programs, but, except for the intrusion, there's no solution except suffering! Please give me a choice and a solution. Perhaps in Options?

My solution to my original problem of stopping FF from intruding with an erstwhile search doesn't work. Firefox IGNORES my settings to NOT check for updates to addons (letalone disabled and unwanted addons). It continues to check when I reopen FF. What a PITA>
Further, it gives me no solution. Just takes more than a minute of my time waiting for it to stop.
grr

  • How can i use 3d pdf on my mac? Under windows i can open my pdf with 3d animation but under mac it is not possible. İ also check the web site of adobe, but there are no information about it. Please help.

    Hello who can help me?
    İ need to open the 3d animation pdf. But my mac is not able to open it and my friends have also the same problem.
    İ need this information for my work. İt would be very nice if someone could tell me how i can open the 3 d animation .pdf files. Under windows it is no problem, because adope reader is open it. İ also check the site of adobe to find answers, but no results.

    If there is no info on Adobe about it, this is probably a case where there is a special 3D plugin that Adobe has access to on your PC.    You need to find out what software generated the 3D.  Then you can find out if there is an equivalent Mac compatible plugin.    That said, you can always run Windows on an iMac Intel if push comes to shove:

  • When i open imovie, it freezes. why, and what should i do?

    I have a very important project to do for school and have to give it back next week. It's on iMovie, and it's a 54minutes video. Since yesterday, I have a problem. I don't know if because it's too big, but when I open it, it freezes, and the little rainbow turns and turns and turns..... And because of that projects, I can't start any other project, and I can't go on any other project. That really freaks me out. PLEASE HELP ME!

    Try this:
    1. Quit iMovie
    2. Restart the Mac
    3. Repair permissions (open Disk Utility in your Applications/Utilities folder), select Macintosh HD and choose repair Permissions from the buttons displayed
    4. Move iMovie preferences (or trash them). They're at <your usenrame>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovieApp.pList (the name might vary slightly, depending, but will always start com.apple.iMovie...)
    5. Delete the iMovie cache (in <your username>/Library/Caches, called com.apple.iMovieApp or similar. Delete the whole folder
    6. Restart the Mac.
    Hopefully, that will fix it

  • When I open certain apps it says my device's date is incorrect. But on my calendar and general settings, it's all correct!

    When I open certain apps it says my device's date is incorrect. But on my calendar and general settings, it's all correct!

    Try changing the date - doesn't matter to what - just change it - go back to the app and I assume that you will get the same message. Go back to the settings and change the date and time to automatic again and see if the apps will work after that. Turn location services on in the settings as well.

  • HT4836 When I open launchpad it freezes everything! I had to restart my computer all over again. What should be the best solution? There are plenty of the same apps.

    When I open launchpad it freezes everything. I had to restart my computer all over again. When I click apps it won't open. There are lots of things with the same icon.

    You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
    If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive. 
    You can also boot into Safe mode
    To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
       1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
       2. Press the power button.
       3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
          Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
       4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
    Please post back with results,
    To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

  • Hi when I open iPhoto it's says "What photo library do you want to use" Have I lost all my photos? I don't know what to do here can anyone help please?

    Hi when I open iPhoto it's says "What photo library do you want to use" Have I lost all my photos? I don't know what to do here can anyone help please?

    Is there an item named "iPhoto Library.photo library" or similar in your "Pictures" folder, showing with an icon like a fan of pictures?
    Or did you store your iPhoto Library in a different folder, perhaps on an external drive?
    if you cannot find your iPhoto Library search for it with Find Any File, as described  by Old Toad in this post:
    Re: My iphoto library has disappeared. How do I find it?

    Re: My iphoto library has disappeared. How do I find it?in response to onpurpose
    Download and use Find Any File to search for a file named "iPhoto6.Library".  It's a file unique to all iPhoto libraries.
    FAF an search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, packages and system files.  If there's another iPhoto library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

    The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    open -e /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Paste into a Terminal window by pressing command-V. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    Below that, you may see some other lines. The first 9 lines should be exactly as above, apart from differences in the blank space within lines. Otherwise you can't use this procedure—STOP and ask for guidance.
    If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
    sudo sed -i~ '10,$d' /etc/hosts
    You may be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
    That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".
