Add-Ons loading never stops

just upgraded top Firefox 4. When I click on the Add-Ons in my left sidebar, "Loading" remains with a b linking red light and never completes. Can anyone help me? I click on "Loading" but nothing happens.

By default the "Get Add-ons" tab is selected if you open the about:addons page (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons). 
That page tries to load content from the Mozilla server and that can take some time especially if the Mozilla servers are busy. 
You can click on the Extensions tab to see the installed extensions or one of the other tabs to see other installed add-ons.

Add-ons Manager never stops loading

When I try to use the in-browser Add-ons Manager, I can never progress beyond the "Loading..." phase. I still have the Download, Search and Options available. I have waited 5-10 minutes to see if the loading finishes. So far, it has not.
I do not remember what theme I am running. The only add-ons I remember are NoScript, KeyScrambler, and Privacychoice. All my add-ons and themese should be up-to-date as of 8/31/2011.

Why will None of the Add ons Load in 3.6?

Why will none of my add on's load? I have used "Down Load Helper and a Screen Capture" fo years. Now Fire Fox will not load them.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I Switched to Windows 7

Tried to do the compatibility check with "Find updates". The command doesn't "light up" The only two that can be used are "options" and "Cancel Install." Have also reinstalled the add-ons with no luck.

I-tunes loading never stops

I recently updated my i-tunes music player to the latest version but when i wanted to open it nothing showed up??? I checked in my taskmanager if it was loading and yes there it was, but after having the computer on for more then 5hours it never stopped loading up no screen nothing just the process. When i turned my computer off it first said *stopping .... i-tunes* it also said that it run stuck... When i restared my computer it still didn't run but when i opend it in save mode it would run, while running in save mode i turned up that agreement window i agreed an it run in save mode. Then i restarted the computer in normal mode and still it didn't work even after i agreed it. The last time it didn't open that fast it was because it took a while for my computer to open that agreement window but this time nothing really nothing. I hope someone can help me with this issue, cuz now i have to use windows media player and that program *****:P.

HT4718 When I start recovery 10.10 the loading never stops

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012, 2.3GHz running on Yosemite and my problem is that when I turn my computer while pressing alt key, it shows me my three drives: Macintosh, Bootcamp and Recovery 10.10. However when I launch my recovery, a loading starts (the same as the one as when I start my computer) but simply never ends (I waited all night...).
Hope you can help me,
Thank you.

i had the same problem after i took my mac mini home from work for a weekends. after 5 boot fails i ran it in recovery mode (cmd+r after power btn on) and checked the hard drive. but it was fine. i saw the wifi ico at the top right corner and connected mac to my home network. maybe wifi connextion helped or disk check, but after the reboot it finally started. good luck

I set a log-in for the add-ons and never recieved an email, and now I cannot use that email to make a log-in. Can you delete it so I can retry?

My email I use is <![email protected],--> ..... (edited out ~J99) but I did not receive an email to register it. this one is an old one I plan to get rid of. Are you able to delete my account attempt so I can try again with mynew email?

Hi Sarah,
I have edited out the email address. That is not shown in your profile and so possibly you do not intend it to be displayed in a public and web searched forum.

You will be able to change your email address yourself in your profile settings use this link whilst you are logged in
*[/users/edit]
The settings include a tick box for
''Make my email public: [ ]''
Does that solve your problem ?
Personally I have not yet tried the new registration workflow but as it is now based on Persona it may not send you an email from support.mozilla.org

I have upgraded to version 8.0, and now every time firefox loads, it asks me to re-enable all of my add-ons. Why is this happening?

Once enabled, the add-ons load every time I run firefox, however when I reboot my system I am required to re-nable the add-ons again. I have read through a lot of your faq's and not found this issue raised anywhere.
The rest of my system remains relatively unchanged from before. (ie. I don't recall making changes to anything else that might affect the add-ons)

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":

*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.

IE 10 Windows 7 64 Bit: Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) does not run

Many of our Windows 7 laptops started having IE crashes dues to:
Description:
Faulting application name: IEXPLORE.EXE, version: 10.0.9200.17088, time stamp: 0x53eedc10
Faulting module name: urlmon.dll, version: 10.0.9200.17088, time stamp: 0x53eedc44
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00038a99
Faulting process id: 0x128c
Faulting application start time: 0x01cfe29e05a67b00
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
Faulting module path: C:\windows\syswow64\urlmon.dll
To troubleshoot, we have tried resetting IE 10 using Internet Options and rebooting. Does not reliably fix this and even when it occasionally does, it is not a permanent fix.
I have also tried running Internet Explorer using the shortcut for Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
When I click on the shortcut, there is an an hourglass for a second or two and then it just goes away. The no add-ons mode never works and doesn't show an error. It just does nothing.
iexplore.exe -extoff does not work or do anything
iexplorer.exe runs
iexplore -nohome runs
How can we find the cause?

Faulting module name: urlmon.dll, version: 10.0.9200.17088
Faulting module path: C:\windows\syswow64\urlmon.dll
That's actually a crash in a 32-bit tab task. A Stack Back Trace may give more clues. (Once provided by drwsn32.log; now required to be extracted from a dump of the crashing thread.)
iexplore.exe -extoff does not work or do anything
iexplore -nohome runs
Try combining them. If they both work together, this may be saying something about your Home page. Then you may want to try changing that, e.g. try about:blank so you don't go near the TIF. OR just try Run... (e.g. press
Win-R and enter:)
iexplore.exe -nohome -extoff about:blank
Good luck

Firefox 12 stops responding on load - no crash report or add-ons.

My firefox stops responding to any text or mouse inputs on every load. Menu's will work but the graphical response isn't normal. You don't get the hovering effect and clicking on the menu items has no response. The firefox button at the top remains in it's depressed "clicked" state, as if my mouse is still clicking it.
Browser bar only accepts the first letter of whatever I'm typing. However the auto-complete suggestions drop down as normal if I continue typing. Clicking on a suggestion or pressing enter after blindly typing the URL has no result. Firefox simply does not respond as with the menus above. The search box has the same response as the address bar.
Even stranger, if Firefox is left open in the background the memory use slowly climbs, as high as 1Gb used if left alone to run.
No crash reports or ID. Firefox closes cleanly using the "X" and/or alt+f4. Firefox loaded in safe mode with add-ons disabled behaves the same. Removed firefox completely (including directory deleted and registry purge) and reinstalled several times, no change. Both AVG Pro and Malwarebytes scans return clean.
Running Windows 7 64-bit, SP 1. Current updates, adobe and java.

On Hulu I keep getting ad loading errors that stops my movie/show. I can not find the disable add block. It is not under tools, options, the tool bar or add-ons

On hulu I keep randomly getting the error message that Firefox is blocking the adds and i need to disable adblock in order to continue watching. Problem is I can not find the adblock option. It is not under tools, the addblock toolbar. I also tried enabling it under add-ons (under extensions) and it was not there either.

Hi i_see_dumb_people88, it appears you only have two Extensions installed and both of them are disabled. Is that correct if you compare this list:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
In that case, you do not have the AdBlock add-on. However, it's possible that ads are blocked in some other way, for example, your security software (if it has this feature) or domains you listed in the Windows hosts file (if you downloaded a hosts file or edited it manually).
If neither of those is applicable, they probably would affect other browsers as well as Firefox. Do you know whether the problem occurs in IE?

Why does the Add-ons manager take an excessive time to load and can I view my add-ons without going to the add-ons manager?

When I start my browser up my everything that I have been working on comes up without any problem and I can open a new tab to go to another site without a problem, but when I go to the Add-ons Manager it can take over 3 minutes to load and that's if I don't stop it. My other question is can I view my add-ons, plugins, etc without having to open the Add-ons Manager?

Check out this similar thread: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/836711 Some websites, Mozilla included, appear to think I'm using a different version of Firefox from the one I am using; how can I fix this? | Firefox Support Forum]. Does that help?

I have disabled all add ons and extensions to stop adverts but everytime I log into my pc the adverts appear again? not happy :(

since I updated firefox I have been HOUNDED by adverts. I read an article that suggested disabling all add ons and extensions but they seem to enable themselves again after I open my pc! I am very careful and always tick and untick boxes when I am downloading updating anything to ensure this doesn't happen therefore these add ons seem to have been automatically added by firefox during the update. not cool! the amount of adverts and the fact I have never suffered from such a pop up invasion in my life is becoming EXTREMELY annoying how do i permanently stop these adverts?

When loading Elements 10 why did it remove my Nic Software add-ons in Lightroom 3?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Nic programmes but no success. And it is all now so slow that i am thinking of reinstalling everything. With Windows 7, 8 gb of memory and and i5 Intel processor, my computer should be able to handle this. Elements 7 was already there and working well, so I must have done something wrong. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

thanks for the advice. I will try it outDT

Hi, After installing NIK plug-ins, Please check on C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\External Editor Presets folder.Here you can see some Nik- plugins templates , open any template in Notepad and see "ExternalEditorFullPath" verify this path is right and whether .exe file is present at this location or not.Also verify the status of this path and .exe location after using the PSE.I am confident, this is the issue of file path mismatch. Thanks,earth-star.

Firefox will not load any new add-ons

When I try to add add-ons, firefox says "connecting" and runs and runs and runs and never adds the add-ons

If you aren't able to connect in Firefox, but can connect with other programs, the most common cause is a firewall. See [[Firewalls]] for instructions on configuring firewalls. (Make sure you configure all firewalls that are installed)
Another possibility is that you are in offline mode. Make sure "Work offline" in the File menu is ''unchecked''.
For other causes, see [[Error loading web sites]]
