After upgrade firefox does not ask for restart

On Linux Mint when Firefox is opened and meanwhile operating system package manager upgrades Firefox, then FF does not notify me that it needs restart.
I notice it since some extension stops working. Later I have checked package manager logs and see, that FF had been updated. Wasn't in older versions so that FF notified me that restart is needed for firefox?
Is it a bug or I have some setting missing. I need notification window be visible as long as user closes it or firefox is restarted...

Looks like that yea. I found out that for Ubuntu there is xul-ext-ubufox package which should do almost needed thing. I will install it into mint.
Integrates the browser with Ubuntu to:
* Enable searching for missing plugins from Ubuntu software catalog
* Add the following options to the Help menu - Get help on-line - Help
translating Firefox - Ubuntu Release Notes
* Set homepage to Ubuntu Start Page
* Display a restart notification after upgrading Firefox
* Add ask.com to the search engines.

  • In upgrate 22 and 23.0 the bookmarks toolbar dissapears and after crashing firefox does not allow for recovery

    I hate this new upgrade. I basically can't use this browser anymore. I only need firefox to do a few things correctly but if it cannot do these things I cannot use it<br />
    1. If firefox crashes (which it does every 30 minutes it just closes completely) then I need for it to be able to restore / recover all previously opened windows when I start it back up again. It does not do this anymore.<br />
    2. I use the bookmarks toolbar all the time but frequently it shows up completely blank. So now the only way I can see the bookmarks is if I go to options and deselect bookmarks toolbar and then reselect bookmarks toolbar.
    This is so frustrating and worse you make it so you cant do rollbacks! That is insulting and makes me want to not use your browser. A browser is a critical tool not a toy but you guys won't stop playing with it.

    Hi joshuad31,
    Sorry you are having problems. It should not be crashing and should not be messing up your bookmarks. I do not have any such problems.
    *If Firefox is actually crashing, as opposed to hanging then a couple of the Crash IDs would help.
    ** see [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]]
    * if firefox has been frequently hanging and restarting offering the option to restore sessions then that has probably overloaded the session restore and you will need to delete the multiple copies of files.
    ** see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_delete-duplicated-session-restore-files]]'''_delete-duplicated-session-restore-files'''
    ** you will loose information doing that, normally I would suggest bookmarking the open tabs, but I am not sure that would work for you.
    To get Firefox running again you may initially need to use Firefox's safemode and disable all your plugins. Or do a reset.
    * [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    *[[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] (Read the warnings before you try this)
    I note you have VMware, scripting software and an enterprise edition extension. Is this machine used in an enterprise / corporate environment ?
    I will deal with the bookmarks toolbar issue later, crashing/hanging is a higher priority.

  • Firefox 26 do not ask for restart after extension install

    I have upgraded Firefox to version 26. When I am installing XPI packgae and after installing of add-on, it is not asking for restart. There is no restart button.
    I have to goto add-on extension manager and from there I see 'restart now' link.
    Is some behavior changed from Firefox 26 onward? How to make add-on install work as previous, where it will ask for restart. Please suggest option.
    Thank you,
    Akash.

    It doesn't get restarted on its own.

  • Firefox does not ask me if i want to remember psswords anymore, how do i fix it?

    firefox does not ask if i want to remember my passwords anymore how do i fix it??????????

    Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links and disabled and not available.
    You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed.
    See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
    You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
    Uncheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • Application Server Control does not ask for password

    Hi all-
    I just installed App Server (as part of Collaboration Suite) and am working on security. For some reason, the App Server Control for the apps tier does not ask for a username/password. Anyone know how to fix that glaring hole? Infrastructure does ask for user/pass, just not apps.
    Thanks!
    Rob

    I had to clear authenticated sessions AND cookies (in Firefox). Clearing only one or the other isn't enough.

  • I would appreciate your help on how to configure a gmail in a way  it  ask  for the password  everytime I connect?. In the only way I can configure it  I have to include the pw when configuring the account  and  after that  it do not ask for pw

    I would appreciate your help on how to configure a gmail in a way  it  ask  for the password  everytime I connect?. In the only way I can configure it  I have to include the pw when configuring the account  and  after that  it do not ask for pw  so  everyone that shares my iPad can  oppen my mail  with  no pw  required.
    Thank

    The iPad is designed to be a single user device, and there is currently no way to password protect the Mail app - even removing the account password from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars will just prevent new mail being downloaded, it won't hide those that have already been downloaded. There is this work-around for the app : https://discussions.apple.com/message/13127632#13127632 . Also there might be third-party email apps that feature password protecting.

    Well, what exactly isn't working? Do you get any errors? What system are you on? As a start, check this:

  • Firefox does not ask to save tabs and windows on exit

    I've done everything suggested in this article:
    [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+does+not+ask+to+save+tabs+and+windows+on+exit]
    Settings in "Options" are ok.
    I have no extensions/themes. And the problem is still there on safe mode.
    Out of the two files mentioned as possibly corrupted, I deleted formhistory.sqlite but the file sessionstore.js is not in the profile directory when Firefox is closed (as the article suggests... it is there when Firefox is open)

    What is the startup setting?
    Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts"
    In Firefox 3 you do not get the 'Save & Quit' pop-up dialog if you choose Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time".<br />
    If that option is selected then your pages will already be reopened the next time.<br />
    To get that pop-up dialog you have to select one of the other choices (Show my home page,Show a blank page).<br />
    You can reset the warn prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu.<br />
    browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
    browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
    browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • Erased all saved passwords, rebooted, now TB does not ask for new password!

    I erased all saved passwords as I've had to change the passwords on my accounts. I then rebooted and now TB does not ask for new password. I have rebooted entire computer and still no change.
    Thanks!

    I presume you removed the passwords via Tools > Options > Security > Passwords tab.
    Do you have these settings in Account Settings:
    Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account.
    * select: 'Check for new messages at start up'
    * select: 'check for new messages every eg: 15 minutes'
    * select : 'Automatically download new messages'
    make other prefered settings and click on OK to save changes.

  • SOST Repeat Send does not ask for new fax number or e-mail address.

    SOST Repeat Send does not ask for new fax number or e-mail address.  It does work for one user but not for any others.  It is supposed to ask you if you want to change the fax number or e-mail address if you were the user that sent the document.  Does anyone know if there are settings that control this somewhere?  Using SAP R/3 vers. 4.7

    Dear Friends,
    Normally, we can change the receipient address, if we send. We can not change the receipient address of another user.
    Check  Note 685164 - Resending with recipient change.
    As per this note Go to SM30 and add parameter "SOST_REC_CHANGE" value "X" in view "SXPARAMS".
    Now, if you click "repeat send" icon, it will ask below two option in dialog box:
    The message is sent again. You can change the recipient before
    sending. The sent message then appears as a
    as a new send request in the list
    Send to same recipients again
    Change recipients before sending
    It is working to me ....

  • My iphone does not ask for password for itunes

    Ever since I installed ios 6 to my 2 iphone 4's. It does not ask for a password to download games or make purchases. I have a 5 year old son who can now purchase at will, how do I reset or fix that? Where is my security?

    Thanks for letting me know. I never even checked to see if it was configurable.
    Edit: I don't see where you can turn enable or disable the requirement for a passcode for udates? Can you tell me where to find it? The path you referred to only seems to relate to purchases.

  • Firefox does not start for very long after clicking!!If another browser is opened Firefox opens after that.

    Firefox does not open after clicking on the Firefox icon on my desktop. Occasionally it opens after a very long time and that also a number of pages open at the same time equal to the number of times hat I clicked the icon trying to open. If I open another browser like Google Chrome after trying to open Firefox then Firefox follows it to open much quicker after Google chrome opens.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • After Upgradation BPF is not working for some users

    Hi All,
    We have recently upgraded from BPC 5.1 to 7MS SP7.  we are having multi server setup with one application / reporting server (windows 2003 and one sql server 2008 (windows 2003 64 bit).
    Intially before upgradation we don't have any issues with BPF and it worked fine for all users. But post upgradation tasks within the BPF  does not work for other users except for the first two people who first  used it. Other users have the same rights as the ones who can access the tasks.
    when they  click on the link it gets them to eExcel and the right application but doesnt open the package or report assigned to the task. It doesn't give us any errors, on the status bar we get a message finalising but does  not getting any thing.
    Any inputs ??

    Hi,
    Are you sure that those users have installed BPC 7 SP7 clients on their machine? Meaning that you uninstalled 5.1 clients and installed the new client from http://servername/Osoft?
    If yes, you should maybe run a client diagnostic on the machines and also check the Management Console for any error messages.
    Hope this will drive you to a potential solution.
    Best Regards,
    Patrick
