Aurora & Nightly add-on manager won't load?

I use both Aurora and Nightly on my laptop (mostly Aurora), Windows 7 32-bit and I am frustrated by the fact that I am unable to access the Add-on manager without running the browsers in safe mode. When I go into the menu to click "Add-ons", nothing happens. Both browsers are up to date, this feature used to work with Aurora 8a2. Any help greatly appreciated. Also, nothing happens when I click Help>Troubleshooting Information.

Are you using the same Firefox Profile Folder for both those versions?
If you do then you should create separate profiles for each of them because not all files may use the same format version.

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
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.

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.

  • Add on manager won't load adblock plus download corrupt

    I just did a restore point and now add on manager won't load and trying to download ad block plus gives me a message that it is a corrupt file. I looked at the FAQs but they didn't help. I have scrn shots, but don't know how to attach them here. I pasted troubleshooting manually. I did have ad block plus before the restore.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.

    To Reset Firefox do the following:

  • Add on manager won't load in FF11 - simply says "Loading" for hours

    Using FF11 on Win 7, the add on manager simply says loading forever. I'm unable to access my own addons to activate / deactivate them as appropriateI've tried:
    1) Clicking on Extensions, Plugins, Appearance then going back to Add on
    2) Starting in safe mode and resetting user preferences
    3) The addon site is up and working and I can add new addons by accessing the address directly from my browser
    4) Uninstalling and reinstalling firefox
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I see this was a problem on FF6 but I haven't seen people having trouble with FF11
    Thanks

    I have a fair few installed but have deactivated them all since this started in the hope that it was a conflict of some kind. The extensions tab is just blank though there should be some extensions there. Just for fun I let it try to connect to the Addon page and after 2 hours - still nothing -- sighhhh
    Thanks for your thoughts

  • After Ghostery update, Firefox crashes and won't let me navigate with tabs. Add-on manager won't finish opening to let me get rid of Ghostery. How to resolve?

    Using Firefox 22, Ghostery auto-updated. It said there was a conflict with the Beef Taco add-on; when I went to disable the add-on, nothing worked properly. Now FF crashes constantly, won't allow me to use tabs properly, and the add-on manager won't finish opening to allow me to make changes to add-ons. How can I remove Ghostery without the manager? (Even this form isn't functioning properly to allow me to add information, sorry.)

  • Add-ons manager doesn't load

    I am at wits end... I have tried every solution to get the add-ons manager to load and nothing has worked. If you might know of a solution please let me know. I am running Firefox 11, Windows 7 and I have checked for and updated a plug-in. I even clicked on "extensions" and waited a few moments as suggested and then clicked on "Get Add-ons" and it still just says it is loading.

  • SSRS 2008 r2 - the Report Manager won't load unless "/Reports" is added to the DNS entry in address bar

    Need some direction, please.
    We are moving off  SSRS 2005 to a new server with SSRS 2008R2. The old installation (2005) a DNS entry was created "reports" with the ip address and port number simple. In the Configuration manager the Report Manager Virtual Directory
    is "Reports". Website is Default web site. Typing "reports" into the address bar opens up report manager. When this is done the address shows as reports/reports/pages/folder etc.
    The new installation is configured the same(?). DNS entry "reports2" with new ip address and port number. In the Configuration manager the Report manager URL virtual directory is "Reports" URLs: =
    http://servername:port/Reports. The issue is when typing "Reports2" into the address bar the report manager won't open unless "reports" is added to the dns name i.e. http://reports2/reports
    is entered.
    This thread took me to more like kind thread than my searches. Went into IIS in the default web site I added an htm file with a redirect. Then started it, it works. Maybe due to my inexperience but seems counter intuitive as I thought Reporting Services did
    away with any reliance on IIS.

    Hi Urquhart,
    According to your description, if you type "Reports2" in the browser, then you want to redirect to the report manager homepage in SSRS 2008 R2, right?
    In Reporting Services 2008 R2, it uses HTTP.SYS for HTTP access and it’s independent of Internet Information Server(IIS). The role for HTTP.sys in Reporting Services is that, HTTP.sys receive the user's request, and then send it to report server. Report
    Server handle the request(e.g. authenticate the users), and then use HTTP.sys the send HTTP responses again. In a word, HTTP.sys is just a driver, which allow us to communicate the clients(browser) with Report Server without Microsoft Internet Information
    Server(IIS).
    So, since HTTP.SYS doesn’t provide URL redirection function, we are not able to redirect "Reports2" to report manager homepage by default. If we want to use redirect function, we should add a .html file in IIS to redirect the user to the report
    manager.

  • After loading a toolbar and finding it to be not what I thought, I attempt to go to Tools Add-ons so as to "uninstall" it, but get a tab labeled "Add-ons Manager" that says "Loading..." forever -- what's up with that?

    Firefox 6.0.2. Loaded something called "Productivity 3.1 Community Toolbar", version 3.7.0.6, "Toolbar powered by Conduit". Simply want to go to the Add-ons Manager and get rid of it, but don't seem to be able to reach the Add-ons Manager. Is there some other way to rid myself of this toolbar?

    No one here is going to do anything about it. Send feedback to Apple.

  • I want to delete the Yahoo toolbar. Selected "Tool" then "add-ons".but add-on page won't load, loading icon keeps spinning for an hour. Re-booted, but same.

    I looked at some of the suggested fixes and did click on Extensions then back to Add-ons, but still won't load. I also un-clicked so that add-ons aren't automatically updated, but it still won't load.

    First, if the active category on the left side of the Add-ons page is '''Get Add-ons''', click '''Extensions''' to bypass whatever is loading and go directly to the area likely to have the toolbar. (I think it's loading a page of popular add-ons, which isn't very relevant to what you want to do.) Does that work?
    If that doesn't work, you could try disabling all add-ons first and see whether that makes a difference. You can do this using Firefox's Safe Mode dialog.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the Safe Mode dialog, check just the box to "Disable all add-ons" then click Make Changes and Restart. Does this allow you to access the Add-ons page?

  • Add-ons Manager never stops loading

    When I try to use the in-browser Add-ons Manager, I can never progress beyond the "Loading..." phase. I still have the Download, Search and Options available. I have waited 5-10 minutes to see if the loading finishes. So far, it has not.
    I do not remember what theme I am running. The only add-ons I remember are NoScript, KeyScrambler, and Privacychoice. All my add-ons and themese should be up-to-date as of 8/31/2011.

    By default the "Get Add-ons" tab is selected if you open the about:addons page (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons).<br />
    That page tries to load content from the Mozilla server and that can take some time especially if the Mozilla servers are busy.<br />
    You can click on the Extensions tab to see the installed extensions or one of the other tabs to see other installed add-ons.<br />

  • After Firefox 6 upgrade, Add-ons Manager does not load, it just says "loading" forever

    nothing to add

    Thanks for the suggestions. When you click on Tools and then Add-ons, theAdd-on Manager launches, and by default "Get Add Ons" is selected. Although I was not getting any response other than "Loading", if I then click on Extensions or Appearance or Plugins, I was getting a proper response from those three. After doing that and closing out Add-ons Manager and then relaunching it, my original problem disappeared. Now everything works fine. I tested it multiple times and is still OK. Can't explain it but OK for now. Maybe the Get Add-ons portion of the Web site was down at the times I was testing it? I'll keep a watch on it. Thanks for your speedy reply.

  • Media Manager won't load

    I just got a new curve 8320 and I've installed the Blackberry Desktop Manager v 5.0.1.18
    It connects to my BB fine via usb cable but in Add/Remove Applications, it comes up blank with the message "No software is available for your device".
    Also, when I try to install the Media Manager, it gets stuck at "downloaded 59.7MB out of (unknown)" and then the loading box just disappears. I've tried just reclicking the Install button and the same things happens.
    I've tried to look online for the Media Manager file to download separately but nothing came up.
    If someone could help me out that would be great. Thanks so much!

    Hi there!
    A couple of thoughts...
    5.0.1.18 is an older version of DTM -- it is up to 5.0.1.28...I suggest you try the most recent version.
    Media Manager -- only use a version of DTM/MM if you absolutely must. MM can be problematic and, if you don't need it, then grab a DTM version without MM.
    There is no separate MM to DL -- the DTM package you grab (with or without MM) determines what you will have.
    You might want to try these clean re-start instructions:
    I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/Win7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
    1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
    2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
    KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
    https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
    Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    5) Install DTM to your PC
    6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
    7) Start the organizer configuration over:
    KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    Hopefully that will get things going again.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • My Adobe Application Manager won't load applications to install.

    All that comes up is the loading blue squares and then a "dowload error." I think I might have accidentally ejected something on my Finder but the Creative Cloud Installer is still there under my external harddrive. Does anyone know the problem?

    Nancopeland are you on a managed network?  Do you receive any specific error messages?  What version of Mac OS are you using exactly?

  • Wind XP, FF17.0.1 Thee Add-on manager will not load anything, "loading" wheel just spins.

    If I go to the Add-on website and I try to install one, like the indispensable Adblock Plus, it will start, and the progress bar will reach the end but it won't finish the process. It just stays there indefinitely and retrying the download will have no success.
    I am in my seventies and as you can imagine I'm not terribly quick, terminology-wise etc. ;-)
    Thanks for your understanding and help。
    Onkobo

    hello onkobo, this sounds like the files in your [[Profiles|profile folder]] that store the information about your extensions might have become messed up somehow.
    please go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile - show folder... then windows explorer should open up your profile folder. in there look for the files named extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite, extensions.sqlite-journal (and in some cases also extensions.txt, extensions.rdf). delete those files and quit firefox, they will be regenerated the next time you launch firefox.

  • Blackberry Desktop Manager won't load applications

    Hi there,
    When I connect my Blackberry Curve 9360 to Desktop Manager, it connects fine and everything else works fine too; except when I click on the "Applications" tab, nothing shows up. I'm not able to see any apps or input languages on the screen. 
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Desktop Manager, syncing my device, backing it up, and I even made sure my Blackberry Appworld account was ok as well as checking if all my apps were running properly.
    When I go to Options > Third Party Applications on my Curve, nothing loads there either. I can see my applications on Blackberry App World though.
    Please help.
    Sincerely,
    Brian
