  • Since installing Firefox 4, I keep getting this message "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" when a window should open. Also print and print preview don't work properly anymore.

    Since installing the newest version of Firefox, This message "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" appears in a box when a new window should open. Also, what you see in print print preview is not what prints.

    This type of error is usually caused by an add-on you are using that is not compatible. It could be anything from an antivirus link scanner like AVG Safe Search add-on, or McAfee Site Advisor add-on, or something similar. To confirm what add-on is causing this use the procedure in this link:
    https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Try Disabling the last add-on that was installed prior to upgrading to version 5.0
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Upon startup i get error msg: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined

    win7 ultimate, ff4, when opening via shortcut or task-bar I get an error message first, "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined", click ok and ff loads and runs just fine, i have uninstalled ff and reinstalled twice. problem still exists

    This is probably due to an incompatible add-on. For details of how to troubleshoot that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

    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).

  • I install compatibility reporter in my Mozilla firefox 5 running under Windows 7 and get message - TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined, what is causing it please?

    I am having to install Compatibility reporter so that Google toolbars will work. This used to be ok, but now I am getting the message-TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined. I am running under Windows 7 any idea how |I can get round it please?

    If you force an extension to install by overriding the compatibility then the result can be unpredicted.<br />
    The extension may work or may not work or cause error messages like you posted.<br />
    You always need to be careful with forcing extensions to install.
    You may need to check extensions.checkCompatibility prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.

  • What can I do about this: After upgrading to firefox 6, I get this error. TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined???

    What can I do about this:
    After upgrading to firefox 6, I get this error.
    When I click to open Firefox, A box open with the following error:
    JAVASCRIPT Application
    TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined?
    After I click close on the box, then Firefox will start. I really just want to get the error fixed so that when I want firefox open, I don't have to see this box anymore.

    You need to figure out which add-on is causing that error and disable it until the developer of that add-on fixes it. There may be an error message about that in the Error Console, accessed through the Web Developer menu item or through {Ctrl + Shft + J}.

  • After I downloaded Firefox 4 and I try to open Firefox, I get this error message, "plug-in object: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined". I click "OK"; Firefox opens and works just fine. Any suggestions??

    Not much to add. Before Firefox will open, I get this error message, "plug-in object: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined". I click the "OK" button; Firefox opens and I have no further problems.
    I use an Apple with OS v. 10.6.7 and had no problems until I downloaded Firefox 4.0

    That indicates you have an add-on that is not compatible with Firefox 4. For details of how to troubleshoot that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • When I open Firefox, the browser does not open. Instead I get a small window that says: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined. How do I fix this?

    I tried to uninstall AVG antiviral software, but it did not uninstall. Next, when I try to open Firefox I get a box popup that says:
    TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined.
    If I click OK in that box, I can then open Firefox.
    Also I can no longer update Java.
    Help!

    Possibly you have "AVG Safe search" extension installed as part of "AVG Free", solution involves reinstalling :AVG Free" without the Link Scanner component see

  • Everytime I open a window in Firefox 4 beta 2 I get a messeage that says TypeError: Components.classes(cid) is undefined, when I click OK it opens up the new window. How can I fix this?

    Everytime I open a window in Firefox 4 beta 2 I get a messeage that says TypeError: Components.classes(cid) is undefined, when I click OK it opens up the new window.

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

  • After downloading 4.0 I get this message: JavaScript application can't create mcafee plug-in object: TypeError: components.classes[cid] is undefined

    I finished downloading Firefox 4.o to my Mac OS.X.
    When I try to open a website I get the message:
    [JavaScript Application] can't create mcafee plug-in object: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined
    If I click the OK button, the site opens, but without the McAfee alert at the bottom of the window.
    I had just downloaded 3.6.16, and got box suggesting download version 4.0 for better security, but that seems to be where the problem is!

    That indicates that an add-on you are using is not compatible, considering the other errors it is possibly the McAfee add-on. To confirm what add-on is causing this use the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
