Add-Ons Manager Tab won't go away
Using Firefox 10.0.2 on a brand-new Mac Mini running Lion 10.7.3.
Every time I open up Firefox, it opens in two side-by-side tabs. The one on the left is my home page; the one next to it says 'Add-Ons Manager' and it simply tells me the add-ons I've installed and so on. How do I get rid of this tab? I can click the X and it goes away, but it reappears every time I open Firefox again. I can't find anything in the settings that obviously gets rid of this for good.
Click on something below the Get Add-ons menu item on the left side of the Add-ons Manager tab.

How to stop an "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?

Solved it shortly afterwards thanks as I realised it must have happened when I refreshed Firefox, so went through the process again and found the boxes for tabs already pre-ticked so cancelled them. Would have been a lot easier though had it been left as an option to tick as I assumed it was another safeguard leaving me with no idea what had happened....
Anyway thanks :-) -
Error: "There was an error downloading (add-on name here)" from the Add-ons Manager tab.
Been trying to install Add-ons but I keep getting that error message, even on the Add-ons website still cant install nothing not even update my currently existing add-ons. Already tried on 3 systems and still the same problem, 2 of them with freshly installed Firefox 12, no previous version installed on the system. Any suggestions or updates soon about this issue?
It also happened with Firefox 11 when the update to Firefox 12 was available.what kind of network are you on - is it a corporate environment where the download & installation of extension files could be prohibited? you can also try installing an addon with your security software totally disabled once...

Recently firefox has started loading the plugin checker in a new tab everytime it starts. This is annoying and turning off the automatic check for addon updates doesn't stop it.
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

After installing add-on,when Firefox ask me to restart to complete installation,in extensions folder it creates staged folder,but when i restart,this folder will removed and add-on not installed.
The Problem first happened when some extensions would not uninstalled and Firefox keep saying that addon will be uninstalled after restart,but nothing happen after restart.
So with following this instruction:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20uninstall%20an%20add-on
After safe mode not worked either,I uninstalled extension with their IDs manually.After that I cannot install any add-on that needs restart.This can be caused if one of the files that stores details of installed extensions is corrupt.
# Open your profile folder, for details of how to find it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
# Close Firefox
# Delete the following files if they exist, extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini and extensions.sqlite
# Re-start Firefox, it will then rebuild the list on installed extensions -
Why does add-ons Manager create a new tab every time I go to home page?
When I start Firefox my home page tab shows up along with an add-ons Manager tab and a plus sign for new tab. Every time I go to a web site and then return to my home page ANOTHER add-ons Manager tab shows up. This apparently will go on forever. I have had as many as 20 add-ons Manager tabs showing. The only way to eliminate them is to stop Firefox and then restart. Then it starts all over again. What is causing this?
I'm running the latest version of Firefox and Windows 8.1 on a Dell Inspiron with 8G's of memory and a 1T hard drive.
Please help.Can you post back here a screenshot from this issue?

Why won't add ons manager load?
Am trying to access Addons manager, and page comes up, but nothing loads. The box says "loading", the little symbol keeps spinning, but nothing happens. This is just happening recently, but it's disturbing, as I have no access to my addons at all.
Click on something below the Get Add-ons menu item on the left side of the Add-ons Manager tab.

The Add-ons Manager will not display!
I've been having an intermittent problem with certain features not displaying at all. First it was that I could not "Customize" my toolbar for quite a while. It finally returned suddenly, in FF v4.01, after being unavailable since v3.5.
I've also been without the Magnifying Glass search icon since v3.5, which is still missing. And the show "Properties" option has also disappeared from the Right-Click Context menu, I don't remember if it started in FF v3.x , but I think it was right after upgrading to v4, and it hasn't returned since either.
Now it's the Add-ons Manager that has quit working. It has happened a few times before, but quitting and restarting Firefox brought it back.
This time, however, it seems to be completely disabled. I had just removed the IE Tab Plus extension, to be sure I hadn't installed it over the original IE Tab, which they said could cause unpredictable issues.
Next I used "Install Extensions" from the File menu of the Add-ons Manager tab, and selected a copy of IE Tab Plus I had saved to disk last October 2010 to re-install it. But nothing seemed to happen. No pop-up, or any indication/notification that an extension was about to be installed - nothing.
So I did a search for IE Tab Plus to acquire the latest version from it's Mozilla Add-ons page, where I noticed a "Comment" claiming the IE Tab Plus author was using it to secretly install Ad-ware, and recommended using IE Tab 2 instead.
I decided to do as suggested, but there is no link on the page to install IE Tab 2 from either. I decided to quit and reload Firefox, yet even in Safe Mode, I still can not get the Add-ons Manager Tab to load.
Note:
I also have Mr. Tech's cool Toolkit extension, which I believe added the "Extension Options" item to the Tools menu, and it is also empty now. It was not empty just before this. In fact it still displayed my extensions list after the Add-ons Manager had already failed to load again at all.Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

This can be a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
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 an update. -
Firefox 10 Add-Ons Manager does not open in a tab
In later versions of Firefox 9 and now Firefox 10, the "Add-Ons Manager" refuses to open in a tab. Instead, it opens as a window with no border that will not move and cannot be moved or closed except by closing it from the Start Bar at the bottom of the screen.
This occurs on 2 separate PCs, one running Vista, one running XP.
I know it should open as a Tab, but I see no way to do this.
Do I need to change some setting to get it to open properly?
Thanks,
Ken Westupdates 9 and 10 have caused me problems as well with add ons and the extra tab appearing welcoming me to firefox.
With update 10 all my add ons disappeared.. upon going to tools /add ons I found half my add ons were incompatable and the others were closed! I just opened them again and all was fine. Luckily the add ons I use often were still compatable.
The other option is to just add them again if they are compatible.. if not you can get around it by googling and comming up with a solution there somewhere.. One I use a lot is download helper and I had to do this about 3 versions ago to get it running.
There could be a solution in Help/trouble shooting and looking at extensions.. your add ons should be listed there and all be True..
If not you will most probably have to open Containing folder in top block and do something there.. Not sure what but will leave it up to the experts..
Seriously it would most probably be quicker to reinstal you add ons. -
Firefox 6.0.2. Loaded something called "Productivity 3.1 Community Toolbar", version 3.7.0.6, "Toolbar powered by Conduit". Simply want to go to the Add-ons Manager and get rid of it, but don't seem to be able to reach the Add-ons Manager. Is there some other way to rid myself of this toolbar?
No one here is going to do anything about it. Send feedback to Apple.

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?

Foxfire 6.0 add-ons manager not working, says "loading", get nothing, now what?
Just received an update and some add-ons were disabled. Clicked on "Tools", "add-ons". Tab opens and says "Loading" but nothing loads and I can't do anything with add-ons manager. Is there a fix?
Thanks for the suggestions. When you click on Tools and then Add-ons, theAdd-on Manager launches, and by default "Get Add Ons" is selected. Although I was not getting any response other than "Loading", if I then click on Extensions or Appearance or Plugins, I was getting a proper response from those three. After doing that and closing out Add-ons Manager and then relaunching it, my original problem disappeared. Now everything works fine. I tested it multiple times and is still OK. Can't explain it but OK for now. Maybe the Get Add-ons portion of the Web site was down at the times I was testing it? I'll keep a watch on it. Thanks for your speedy reply.

"Get add-ons" page on "add-ons manager" in russian instead of english.What to do?
"Get add-ons" page on "add-ons manager" in russian instead of english. How can i change that specific page back to English.
In case it's a weird glitch with obsolete cached files or broken cookies, you could open the Add-ons site directly and do the usual:
https://addons.mozilla.org/
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help? -
