Addon Mgr. Freezes on Extensions Tab.

The new addon-manager (about:addons or Firefox>Add-ons) freezes every time I open it to the Extensions tab. Other tabs are fine though. (i managed to get it to a different tab by running
$ firefox-nightly "about:addons?tab=tabulous"
which makes firefox notice the invalid argument and go to the first tab: Get Addons.
I am using today's nightly trunk build (x86_64) on Ubuntu 10.10
I did notice it slowing down recently, and I just installed about 6 more addons, so that is probably why.
I had to kill it each time (I tried about 20 times)
the listed crash ID is from the last time I killed it

It comes back. It always comes back. This drives me nuts. I have not successfully been able to find any help anywhere. I've gone as far as switching browsers, but none of them have the same expansive feature sets as Firefox. Anyway, it's happening even in 4.0 final. Since it's so impossibly hard for a normal user to get any useful debugging info from Firefox, the best I can tell is that it has something to do with the number of addons. I can recreate the freeze consistently on the 23rd or 27th addon enabled (not installed, but actually enabled).
With 4.0 final I made a fresh profile and it's the same behavior. This for me completely ruins the Firefox experience, and filing a bug in that mess they call bugzilla requires far too much effort from a normal user, unlike Launchpad, where I can just file a bug. Searching bugzilla for anything remotely resembling what I'm looking for is also apparently impossible.
Sorry about the rant, but the inattention given to this issue, which happens on all three Linux machines I have access to is unacceptable and has been happening since at least b10pre.
I am using Firefox 4.0 on Ubuntu and Mint, all 32bit. All my addons are approved by Mozilla and installed directly from their website or through the addon manager itself. All of them are also flagged as compatible with 4.0.

When I click options in addons/extensions the addon window freezes and I have to use the task manager to end the process. Any solutions?

There may be a problem with one of the files that stores details of installed extensions. Try deleting these files as shown in the "Corrupt extension files" section of this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
Though that article is not specifically about your problem, the method shown in the corrupt extension files section may help. When you restart Firefox after deleting those files, the list of installed extensions is rebuilt and this will hopefully fix your problem.

How to fix privacy and extensions tab that are blank (using Safari 5.1.7)

I have looked at the help provided in this forum for fixing the privacy and extension tabs that happen to now be blank. However, being new to a mac, I was not able to follow those instructions. If anyone can give me some help/guidance, I would really appreciate it. Also, what exactly does the privacy tab do? If it has been blank for a while and I have been to websites and used my credit card information was it secure? Thanks so much in advance for any/all help. TAD

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Missing Distance Extension Tab

ONS15454 Multishelf running REL 7.22. There are two MXP_MR_10DME cards in shelf one and two MXP_MR_10DME cards in shelf two. On the MXP_MR_10DME cards in shelf one there is a Distance Extension Tab when you select Provisioning in Card View but on the MXP_MR_10DME cards in shelf two the Distance Extension Tab is missing. Exactly the same on another node, Distance Extension present on shelf one but missing on shelf two. As far as I can tell all the cards have the same HW Part # etc.

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

Extension tab doesn't display

First Safari extensions weren't showing up. After some help, I was able to get the extensions tab back, but found the privacy tab won't display. I unknowingly jacked another thread, as I'm new at this, so now am posting my own. I'm running Safari 5.1.5 on OSX Lion, MacBook Pro 2009.
Thanks to whoever responds.

Hi Yogi ..
Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file (preferences)
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari. Check Safari > Preferences. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
If that didn't help, try troubleshooting Safari third party plugins > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

Directory Editor adding object classes to the Extensions Tab

I'm using Sun's Directory Editor web based product. Under the extensions tab lists the object classes you can add (obviously there are only a select few there). I would like to have shadowAccount available there. I have went through the installation and configuration guide but can't find how to do this. Just wondering if anyone knows how to add custom object classes to this tab.

Disclaimer: that's my feedback under the blog post. I'm trying to figure out how to use DE to maintain an extended schema that includes migrated NIS maps. The overall goal is to migrate from NIS to LDAP as a naming service AND create realistically easy method for day-to-day administration (constantly using the console is out of the question). I believe DE might provide a solution, if custom forms can be figured out. It's been very slow going.
Does anyone else have examples of modifying Directory Editor forms? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

IPhone 4S Safari freezes when switching tabs

Hi.
Mobile Safari in my iPhone 4S freezes when switching tabs. This does not happen every time Safari is running, but it happened one too many already. Safari freezes even if I only have one tab and wanted to create a new one. The app would usually freeze while doing the switch, tho it also froze just before the tabs switch. Has anyone experienced the same? Please help. Thank you.

User troubleshooting after a reset is a restore. First from a backup and if that doesn't help, then as a new device. Remember a restore will delete data from the phone. Make sure you have everything backed up and synced to the computer before attempting the restore. If that does not help, make an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar to check for hardware faults.

Everytime I search on Google my mouse freezes and the tab has a loading sign.

Everytime I searched something on Google the mouse freezes and the tab has a loading sign, like the webpage is still loading. I can only scroll up and down so basically I cant click on links, zoom in or out, ect. I know this is a RC I'm just posting a bug.

The 3.6.16 upgrade was automatically installed last night when I restarted Firefox. Since then I haven't been able to access any sites from google.com. (Sites on other servers, such as translate.google.com and maps.google.com work fine.)
I've cleared cache & cookies, checked settings, restarted firefox, rebooted the computer - nothing works. Other websites work fine - unless they have a google widget of some kind, then that part of the page loads as an error message.
This is driving me up the freaking wall.

Both Firefox 5&6 freeze my Galaxy Tab

Both Firefox 5&6 freeze my Galaxy Tab everytime when visiting certain sites:

http://www.wilsoncomm.com.hk/notebook_report.aspx?id=65 page is about 15 MB of data mostly very large images. Normally when websites use images on a page they will produce at least two copies. One that is small for the page with all the images and the other is the full size image. Decoding full size images take a lot of processing power. Until phones have better processors and more memory pages like this will be a challenge to load.

Extensions tab greyed out, yet extension manager indicates the extensions are enabled

Recently downloaded trial version of photoshop cc (wanted my extensions to work before I purchased subscription), I also downloaded extension manager cc.
I installed a particular extension called Kubota Action Dashboard, it is enabled in the extension manager.
For some reason though when I open photoshop cc the extensions tab is greyed out and cannot be clicked on.
Any idea why this is the case? Why is the extension recognised in extension manager but not photoshop itself?
Thank you for any assistance

To answer my own question, it appears to be an issue with the maker of the extension and not with the adobe products.
Just found this. It's probably the same with other extensions too, the developers just have to catch up.
System Requirements
MAC:
Mac OS X 10.5 or higher
Photoshop® CS5, 5.5, 6, and CC (not compatible with CC 2014 at this time)
