"Checking your addons for compatibility with this version of Firefox" hangs

On one pc (but not others) running Windows 7, when I install a new version of FF and the box for "checking your addons etc" comes up, it gets 80% of the way through then just grinds away until I hit cancel. Is there any way to find outr which addon is causing this problem?

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.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
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.

  • Since updating to Firefox 6.0 each time I start Firefox it checks my addons for compatibility. This is annoying. How do I stop this behavior?

    Every time I start Firefox 6.0 it runs the addon compatibility check.

    Try:

    You can also try to delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache, extensions.rdf) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.

    I downloaded it and looked at it.  Even Graphic Converter can't recover any pixels or meaningful data, just some general information:
    In my experience, if GraphicConverter can't open it, nothing will.
    Your file is toast  Sorry.

  • FILE WONT OPEN IN PHOTOSHOP CS3... Gives error not compatable with this version

    i have read through several other threads an nothing suggested seems to work
    when i attempt to open a particular psd it tells me file cannot be opened because it is not compatible with this version of photoshop. it was built in cs3 and worked like 5 hrs before i tried to open it to work on it didn't save it when i opened it the last time(as in i just opened it on my pc to show some one n closed it ) i tried opening it in everything suggested it doesn't work. PLEASE help it was hard work ...

    How are you saving these files (i.e., where did the file that won't open come from)?
    If you're saving a .psd with a NEWER version of Photoshop, then in the newer version you should go into Edit - Preferences - File Handling and change the field Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility to Always if you want to be able to pass the PSD files around to multiple (older) versions of Photoshop.
    If you're getting the files from others, you need to ask them to make the above change.

  • Mozilla thunderbird contact sidebar version 0.7.1_tb is not compatible with this version of Firefox. When/how can I get that addon to work?

    the side bar version listed in the plug in line below is not compatible with the 6.0 version of Firefox. When will you allow/make a version of that plug in that will be compatible?

    Install Firefox Portable 3.6.22 to your hard drive for that website. <br />

  • Are you using GB 10 for projects with this version ?

    usually the ones who dont write in are happy with what they have
    are some of you happy with GB  as it is or are you patiently waiting for a workable upgrade version?
    i realize one thing: if you dont have the latest Mac computer with optimal RAM OS  etc apps dont work optimally
    this goes for FLICKR etc
    I am writing to those who dont constantly complain if some little bug appears.
    is this what you call a working GB ?
    my previous songs all load nicely into GB 10
    i just notice foreign parts im not used to and doing things with my old songs takes a learning curve and  this means ill use GB 11 for now
    2 things on my mind now
    1.  without a manual/ third party explanation i dont have time to test experiment and start a new learning curve
         with GB 10.  It looks beautiful and probably one day will be so. Fooling around with it will at this time  only lead to more frustration.
    2.  is there a manual for GB 10 and if so where is it located please?

    2.  is there a manual for GB 10 and if so where is it located please?
    I am using the online help:   GarageBand 10.0 Help Online
    And HangTime posted a link to a short video tutorial at Bullets & Bones, but I cannot find it right now.
    1.  without a manual/ third party explanation i dont have time to test experiment and start a new learning curve
    For the time being I create the projects first in GB 6.0.5, to have more patches for vocal tracks and my guitar, and then I finish it in GB 10.0 to add Arpeggiators and Smart drummers.
    It is simply easier to find anything in GB 10.0, if I know what is supposed to be there, because I created it in GB 6.0.5.

  • I downloaded vers 4. Since then only 1 or 2 sites I tried would open. They were unable to be verified or inaccessable with this version of firefox. I deleted ff4. Now I am unable to find ff3.

    I attempted to disable all add ons and plug ins hoping this would help. There were one or two sites I was able to go to, but mostly everything would be a blank page. I could not even get to a mozilla site. I restored my computer back to two days ago, so my firefox was deleted. When I attempted to find a download for firefox 3, it seems there are none any longer.

    Please do not download any Firefox version from random unofficial download sites like oldapps. Mozilla has all versions since the start archived and available to the public should they want to test old versions.
    Firefox 3.6.* is still readily available as Firefox 3.6.16 can be found at the safe

  • I have mac OS X version 10.4.11 and just downloaded Firefox 4 and when I open it I get and error window stating that I cant use this application with this version of Firefox.

    i used the old one fine for years. How do i make the new one open or how do I get the old one back

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Adobe acobat/reader doesn't work with this version of firefox

    adobe acobat/ reader wont let view info says close adibe acobat and web browers when i do firefox closes and i lose page i was looking at

    I have the exact same problem. I updated to 3.6.12 and encountered the "blank page" printing problem. I ended up re installing Firefox 3.0.19. Printing works great. Also Firefox 3.5.15 gave the same blank page printing problem. I also installed "Better privacy" and " Ghostery"at the time of updates. These programs do not run under the 3.0.19 version. Not sure if if they are related to the problem. Good luck and hope a solution to the problem comes about.

  • How can I get iPhoto to work with Lion? It comes up with an error about not working with this version of MAC os.omes up with an error

    Iphoto was working fine until I downloaded and installed LION. Now I get  a problem message to check that iphoto is compatible with this version of MAC OS X.
    I always download software updates.

    Have put iphoto into trash and tried to re-install it from cd, but although it is there on the list when I try to install, it is not in bold and does not permit me to tick it.
    I have been to the app store and it tells me that iphoto is on my computer.

  • When will you let users add the missing e for this version of firefox? I don't want to use firefox anymore now.

    The missing e has been "incompatible" with this version of firefox for at least a year. This is annoying. Which browser should I use?

    I don't think it's being developed anymore since the last blog post was a year ago about the time you said it stopped being incompatible
    *http://blog.missing-e.com/
    There's another extension another user recommended which was XKit
    *http://xkit.info/seven/download/
    My browser is unsupported since I'm running Nightly 34.0a1 (very early build of Firefox) but the latest Firefox 31.0 should be working.
