Cannot uninstall addons, addon mager button opens web page but not manager

why I cannot uninstall addons, tools-manage addons opens webpage to get more addons, not addon manager.
(Firefox has lately really become less responsive and more stupid this is only an example maybe I need to switch to chrome?)

The page that opens is just the first in a row of pages, you can tab through using left and right buttons in the top left corner (see below). Press Right once, and you will get to the page, where your installed add-ons are listed.

Firefox opens web pages but not all the data or pictures.

Firefox 22.0 opens web pages slowly, it takes up to 30 seconds to load and then not all the pictures and data is loaded or it times out. If I hit the reload button, everything loads OK. This happens on mant sites, not just a few.
I use Google Chrome as my primary browser, and it is quite fast. My internet connection is commercial and it is OMG fast. I would like to replace Google Chrome( I hate being tracked), but at this point, the Firefox is just too slow.
Please advise how to correct these issues.
Thanks

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Make sure that Firefox is fully trusted in your security software.
You can check for problems with preferences and rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default value.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref. 
The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar. 
Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

Cannot open web pages but have Internet connection

I cannot open any web page in Safari, Firefox or Chrome, however internet diagnostics indicate there is no problem with Internet connection.
I have tried disabling firewall with no effect.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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.
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 the test.

Safari, camino, firefox not opening web pages but IE does... any ideas why?

i just recently moved from the US to Bosnia. after finaly getting high speed internet, i'm finding that some web pages on my macbook pro open incredibly slow or not at all while those same web pages open just fine on my pc using internet explorer. i've tried using camino and firefox in addition to safari and all have the same problem on the mac.
does anybody have any ideas?????

well friend, thanks again for all your help. i found a lot of help on another thread if you're interested: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1195713&tstart=0
regardless, here's some things i did that seem to have helped for now... significantly speeding up my web browsing:
1. I changed from WPA/WPA 2 to just WPA 2 (this seemed to have helped the most)
2. I added two 'general' DNS addresses in my preferences/network settings (this also seemed to help):
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
3. under my preferences/network settings, I completely turned off Configure IPv6. (I don't know if this has helped but it was suggested and it doesn't seem to have hurt)
Unless I'm connected to a cisco client, I still have very slow to no browsing on the apple discussions pages but all other pages seem to be working now without cisco.
until next time.

The opened web pages are not correct even though the address in the link roperty is correct. The web page opens a blank page and says "Done"

When I search for a web sites, it gives a list of connected web site.
If I click a particular web site, it immediately opens a blank page and says"done" at the bottom of the page. The opened web address is wrong even though the link property shows the correct address.
What is wrong?

Publish your site to a local folder and launch it in your browser by double clicking the index.html file to see if the problem exists there.

Firefox crashes when we go to different web pages, but not specific to any specifc ones, just web pages in general. How do we correct this issue?

When we go to different web pages, we get an onscreen message stating firefox has stopped working. Most of the time firefox does restore the pages and tabs, but sometimes it does not. How can we fix this problem?

Trouble loading some web pages but not others

having a little trouble lately...
For some reason safari and, well, any other browser, come to think of it isnt work on particular pages.
Example. The other day google.com wasnt coming up just spinning its wheels then saying:
Safari can’t open the page “http://google.com/” because it could not connect to the server “google.com”.
Another example: Safari could not open the page “http://cbgundaker.com/” because the server stopped responding.
I called my ISP and sat thru 2 hours worth of trouble shooting and got nowhere. They thought it was a DNS issue but I can reach the sites from other machines in the network so it looks like it is only effecting this particular powerbook. I've sat two machines down next to each other and it'll work on one but not the other(same wireless or wired network). annoying.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
p

pardon me for butting in, this problem is driving me crazy.
i just tried your dns thing, no effect.
what i can't understand is why does my iBook display all 5 pages that i can't display on my iMac? i visit these sites everyday
-the bookmarks are synced between the two, iBook and iMac use same internet
-i copied the iBook plist for internet and safari over to my iMac-no change
-i did all the resets, clear cache, disk utility,ditch plists
-safari, camino,opera,firefox,shirra do not open these 5 pages
-macworld.com opens fine, macworld.com/news/ does not
-my admin account does not display these 5 pages
-i turned on airport, connected to someone's unprotected network and tried the sites to no avail (i have my own wired internet connection)
-it hangs on the 2nd to last item in the progress bar, ie "8 out 9 items"
-this all started sometime after the last security update and before10.4.6
i am at wits end!

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

safari acting strange - not allowing me to open all websites i usually vists just a random few. connection ok as i can send and get emails as usual... explorer behaving in the same way
advise - as always - appreciated

Greetings Kate,
Have you tried emptying the cache? Or second, resetting Safari, which will take out all your cookies and other caches. If this doesnt work, perhaps use OnyX (free from the Apple download site under your Apple menu) to repair permissions, and deep clean caches (users and kernel) and repair permissions.
Let us know what happens..

"Preview in Firefox" for pdf web pages but not for file links ?

Hi,
I like the preview pdf in Firefox feature but I seem to be having a bit of a problem with it.
In options>applications I have the pdf entry set to preview in Firefox and when I click a link to pdf webpages they load in Firefox just fine.
The problem seems to be with download links to pdf files. When I click a link to a pdf file the only options are to save the file, open with my pdf viewer (Foxit Reader) or other. Preview with Firefox is not an option any more.
I've been trying everything to get that option back.
I know I have seen it there before but I've no idea how it disappeared.
Any suggestions?

The build-in PDF Viewer only works for files that are send as application/pdf and not for other MIME types. 
So it won't work for links that open a download dialog and you would need an extension to open such a file as application/pdf.

I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader when prompted. Since then I cannot use Safari File Print to print web pages - the printer dialogue window opens but the page is blank. Also, when I try to use the safari Help button,the dialogue box is blank.

I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader update when prompted. Since then I cannot use Safari>File>Print to print web pages - the printer dialogue window opens, but the page remains blank. Also when I try to use the Safari Help button, the dialogue box opens but remains infuriatingly blank. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

I can open my web page, but cannot install itunes.

Everytime I try to install itunes, i get message saying check internet connection.
I can open my web page, but cannot update or install itunes.

These issues are usually caused by firewalls. See [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]]

How can I get a list of open web pages in Firefox (in Linux)?

I would like to know how to get a list of open web pages in Firefox (in Linux), because I have a shortcut to open a web page and I want to get it to see if Firefox has the page open first so that it doesn't open duplicates.

You see the "List All Tabs" button in current Firefox versions if there are that many tabs open that you get the Tab bar scroll buttons appearing.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

Adobe Reader 9.2 not opening web pages in Win7 64bit

After reading all the threads on this subject, it seems that two things are obvious: Adobe has a lot of trouble with their software fixes, and secondly, the fixes seem to be different for many PC's and OS's. I have windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit, and Adobe reader 9.2 is hanging when we try to open web pages with .pdf files. We are using IE8 ( even Firefox with foxit is having a heart attack ! ) I am trying to uninstall version 9.2 with no success. It gets to one part of the uninstall and then gives me a message that other programs are using Reader, and it stops the uninstall. I have tried REPAIR, it does not help. Am I to assume that Adobe AIR and Adobe.com ALSO need to be uninstalled PRIOR to attempting to uninstall Reader 9.2?
Also, I feel that the present install of 9.2 is corrupted ( hence why I am trying to reload ) because when I open the Adobe Reader icon on the desktop, the black Adobe screen opens, but after about 6 seconds the Adobe screen goes white and there is a message in the top Adobe Reader bar stating that the program is not responding. ( Obviously something is missing in the install ) MS UAC is set to OFF, so no security blocks there.
Q1 : How do I get Adobe Reader ver 9.2 to uninstall?
Q2: Will version 9.2 of Adobe Reader work on Windows 7 64 bit presently?
Thank you in advance for any kind assistance

To uninstall Adobe Reader, make sure (using Task Manager's Processes tab) that Adobe Reader is not running. Browser windows should also be closed.
If you still cannot proceed, try in Safe Mode, or use the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.
P.S. Adobe AIR and Acrobat.com are not directly related to Adobe Reader, and can be uninstalled independently.
