I have NoScript, AdBlock Plus, Sage, & IEview add-ons installed in FF 3.6.13. But the Add-ons window comes up blank after Menu-Add-ons and before FF opens on startup.

After automaticly updated to the version 7 the extensions page in the Add-ons Manager went blank and give this sentence "you don't have any add-ons of this type installed" but all the add-ons still working in the program

All the add-ons I had installed for the version 3+++ still working at the version 7, but the problem is that the extensions page in the add-ons manager is blank except a sentence that says "You don't have any add-ons of this type installed"

Is there any way to disable "Checking Your Add-ons" window that comes when user starts Firefox after update for the first time?

we have over 1500 firefox users and its very confusing to them if after update they start their Firefox and this "Checking Your Add-ons" window comes.
It would be much appreciated if it can somehow skipped this or do it silently.

Unfortunately this link does not help.
We currently have 3.6.x versions of Firefox in most computers, and if i do a silent install via sccm to version 12, then if user starts the new firefox for the first time, it checks addons, like java quick starter and browsing protection (f-secure) etc. Second time when they start firefox, it starts normally.
My question is - is there some way to avoid this first run addon compability checking?
I've tried numerous preferences in mozilla.cfg, nothing helps so far.

I am having trouble with incompatible add-ons with Firefox 5 and I don't want 5 now because of it

I got a thing to upgrade Firefox and now my toolbars don't work and I don't want the new Firefox now because of it. How do I go back to previous version?

'''Keep your extensions up to date''', don't wait for a Firefox update and then try to do everything after the Firefox update.
'''Research your''' extensions, some may have updates, some may be found in the developer comments or user comments on the add-on, or on the "'''View all versions'''" link which is part of the Release notes at the bottom of the add-on page.

Error 175 .- CC needs admin right to install or remove add-ons - Windows 7 -

Sync files is turned on and I updated all my CC apps but can't install the Kuler extension for PS CC 2014 and other add-ons. Also, constantly getting pop-up notification "Need Admin Rights to install add-ons"."Error 175 " "Installation failed" . Windows 7, desktop & laptop. Please help to resolve this issue. Thanks. Giulio

In my understanding, you have acquired some add-ons at https://creative.adobe.com/addons, but Adobe Creative Cloud application failed to install them due to that you didn't provide the administrator right.
You can restart Adobe Creative Cloud application, then it will try to re-install all the failed add-ons, and the notification will pop-up again. You can click it and provide the administrator right.

Every time I open Mail it fails to respond, the windows stay blank and I get the beach ball and can only close it by force closing. Any ideas?

Every time I open Mail on my Macbook Pro, which is only a couple of weeks old, it fails to open, the windows stay blank and I get the beach ball. The only way I can get it to close is to force it using the command alt esc buttons. Any ideas?

Lost use of all extensions with update to 3.6.11 ... Add ons window is locked

This morning, FF updated to 3.6.11. When I loaded FF no add ons were visible on the upper or lower tool bars. When I opened the Add Ons window, it locks up and will not allow me to access any options, disable, or uninstall. It also does not allow me to check for updates.

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). 
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. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

No Close button on add-ons window

I am currently running Firefox 3.6.10 (latest version) and I've noticed that the "close" button is now missing from the lower right hand side of the add-ons window. There used to be 2 buttons; "Find Updates" and "Close". The "Close" button is missing.

FireFox 3.6.9 Add-ons window not working, add-ons not loading

After upgrade add-ons do not load.
In Add-ons window, no data; all add-ons disappeared;.
Also clicking < Browse all Add-ons > produces nothing, does not link to site.
Navigate toa site to download an add-on: Add-ons window appears but no data or appearance of files or anything. So< Install> button therefore does nothing.

You can delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.

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.

Firefox 3.6 freezing / hanging most of the time. All add-ons disabled. Cache and cookies cleared. Help!

Firefox 3.6 freezing / hanging most of the time. All add-ons disabled. Cache and cookies cleared. Help!
Examples: Freezes for about 20 seconds every launch. Freezes quiting. Freezes switching tabs. Freezes clicking links.

Note that such issues can be caused by security software that blocks Firefox and possibly isn't initialized when you get (got) this issue.
So if it happens again then try to remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I just updated to Firefox 4.0 and how do I change the Add-ons window from opening in a tab (I prefer the old window style)?

After updating to Firefox 4.0, I am unable to get the Add-ons tab (ctrl-shift-A) to open in a separate window like it did in 3.6. Where may I find the option/plugin/addon to be able to do this?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Why are my installed extentions on FF 5.01 suddenly not showing up in the add-ons window tab (to change preferences), even though the extentions (like Google toolbar and Awesome Screenshot) are visible on the FF interface?

My Google toolbar was working fine earlier this morning. A few hours later, the search window stopped opening new tabs. I did some snooping and discovered that none of my extension add-ons were showing up in the add-ons tab. However, the appearance and plug-ins are still listed. When I click on the Extensions tab there is just a small box that says "You don't have any add-ons of this type installed." However, my Google toolbar, Add Blocker, and Awesome Screenshot etc. is still visible in the FF interface. When I try to uninstall the Google toolbar using the options button on the toolbar itself, nothing happens. What's up?

Same solution as dplavin. Thanks!
Afterwords there were some changes in Add-ons that were enabled/disabled that then had to be straightened out.
I disabled Test Pilot which was in the process of testing thinking that it might have had something to do with the problem. I have not updated to the latest version of 5.0 because one favorite Add-on [Firegestures] is supposed to be incompatible.
