Add-ons that work fine with FF3.6.13 in 1 WinXP SP3 computer don't work in this same model machine.
Among the installed add-ins are Ghostery, Google Shortcuts, IE Tab Plus, InformEnter, Lazarus, NoScript, and ZoneAlarm Toolbar. In the other machine, most of those put icons on the status bar; here only the last does (although I told others to). I assume the "problem" is with Firefox, not the individual add-ons.
Also (related?) all of the tabs are very small, showing only icons except when the mouse hovers over them.
1-8 & 10-11 were N/A or already OK. 9 MAY have been the right answer. Here's why "MAY":
I closed Firefox, then zipped & deleted the 3 listed files. When I restarted Firefox, this message popped up:
"Firefox has a built-in session restore feature. Would you like to enable built-in session restore and disable the Tab Mix Plus Session Manager?"
I chose Yes. When Firefox came back up, the add-ons' status bar icons and other indicia returned. I assume that corrupt config. files was the correct diagnosis, but thought I should mention the other possibility.
Thanks for the help! Not the sort of thing I'd have found on my own. And thanks for the thoroughness of the reply. So often someone only supplies -- to be fair often only CAN supply -- the solution that worked for him.

the upgrade caused several tools that I use every session to be disabled as they were incompatible with 4.0
this was not an enhancement to me; rather it has caused me more aggravation than anything the old version did.Those '''add-ons''' for Firefox need to be fixed.
Here's a simple trick to make the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/delicious-bookmarks/ Delicious bookmarks] Firefox add-on work after upgrading to Firefox 4.0.
This assumes that you previously had the Delicious bookmarks add-on working in Firefox 3.6.x and you have just upgraded to Firefox 4.0 – which disables the add-on and states that it is incompatible with Firefox 4.0
* Open Firefox
* Goto “Help” in the Menu, then “Troubleshooting Information”
* Click on the “Open Containing Folder” button (within the box “Application Basics” on top of the page)
* Close Firefox
* Goto into directory “extensions\{2fa4ed95-0317-4c6a-a74c-5f3e3912c1f9}”
* Edit install.rdf and change the following from the first line to the second line
em:maxVersion="4.0b3pre" />
em:maxVersion="4.0.*" />
* Restart Firefox

You will have to wait for Adblock Plus to support it or see if it already works.

I really need to downgrade to the previos Firefox version just until a couple of add-ons have been upgraded. How easily can I do this without losing my current settings?
There is no guarantee that the add-ons that currently do not work with Firefox 4 will ever be updated, they may have been discontinued.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.

Firefox 19 add ons stopped working
Hello.
I installed Firefox 19. Immediately most of my add ons stopped working, and in some cases work but not correctly.
Here are some examples:
Noia4 - works, but each time I restart Firefox Noia4 reset to default settings.
Reminder Fox - Does not work
Status4Evar - Does not work - These may be related.
Google translator for Firefox, does not work.
AnonymoX does not work.
I have not had time to try ALL my add ons, so until I can be sure these work correctly I have returned to v18.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.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/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 check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file. -
Compatibility reporter says none of my add-ons will work wwith FF4, is this possible?
I think "compatibility reporter" can't be right. I have updated add-ons that claim to be compliant with FF4 but "c/r" says none of my add-ons will work.

Im not sure what other details I can give you, that would be pertinent. email me and ask me what you will .. and Ill be happy to oblige you. But having suggested Firefox to many of my clients (I owned a Computer Sales and Service (STORE - not a basement operation) for over 15 yrs and even on our New Computers, FIREFOX is what we installed and recommended! Many of my old clients now (Had to close the business last year due to a number of factors) call me at home and are asking me the same question. Why wont my ADD-ONS work with Firefox. Firefox tells me to Upgrade to the new one, and suddenly we cant get .... (their add ons) to work.
I know Kaspersky was another product we sold a lot of, so their password managers are no longer working properly. More specifically their AUTO FILL function will not load when a new web page is loaded, thus the person can not access their bank acct, etc ... as they were dependent on Kaspersky to do all the remembering for them!Add-ons are Disabled after Updating Firefox

Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?
Try two things with Safari not running:
1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using". If it's checked, try unchecking it.
2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin. If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
Then see how things work. -
Recently (last 4-5 days my add-ons stopped working properly. Example: Tab Mix Plus shows as installed, but when any options I select do not affect tab behavior; Lastpass icon not showing up in the Add-on bar as it did previously; Newsfox icon doesn't appear in Toolbar as it did. Using Firefox 26.0 on Windows 8 on Dell Laptop.
I've been having problems with my add-ons. Ad Block Plus will often hang Firefox and drive the CPU to 100%. I've reset Firefox and installed ABP, but still have the problem. My other extension have also stopped working. Any new extensions will appear to added on to Firefox, but they also don't work. I've followed all on-line trouble shooting options.

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.

Why si firefox so quick to updatewand make many of my add ons not work
every time firefox has an update different add ons do not work after the update.i use my computer and add ons for about 6 hours per day. the add ons are ESSENTIAL. i am sick and tired of updating then having to go back to a previous version. i used to love firefox now i am beginning to hate it almost as much as chrome and IE
I can understand your frustration. The reason for compatibility checks and the resulting deactivation of your add-ons, however, is the concern for your own safety and robustness of your environment (... you may have had some bad experience in this regard yourself, for instance with Flash crashing now and then).
Go to the page '''Tools > Add-ons ''' and click "Extensions" to open the page with currently installed add-ons. There, you can reactivate disabled add-ons or - what's better in any case - look for updates and/or more recents replacements of your older add-ons.

I have several Add-Ons that state "This add-on will be installed (uninstalled in some cases) when Firefox is restarted." No matter how many times I restart Firefox they do not install or uninstall.
Some of the Add-ons include Adobe DLM (which is a major pain in the ars to begin with), NoScript, and United States English Spellchecker. I have had problems with other Add-ons not installing after after an update but after several attempts to reinstall them from the Add-on Gallery the finally installed again.Try resetting the Extension Manager. <br />
With Firefox closed, rename the following files in your profile folder: <br />
extensions.cache <br />
extensions.ini <br />
extensions.rdf <br />
and <br />
compatibility.ini <br />
They'll be re-created when you open Firefox.
Note : ''Although unwanted files/folders can be deleted, renaming them is generally considered a safer option. This achieves the same result, but allows the user to retrieve any possibly required information from them later on. In the case above, rename the above 4 files as , 'extensionsOLD.ini', 'extensionsOLD.cache', 'extensionsOLD.rdf, 'compatibilityOLD.ini' ''
