Clicking on add ons options button causes the add on window to hang on version 3.6.3 but no problem on 3.5

Add on window hangs every time I select the options button
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded from firefox 3.5 to 3.6.3

I am having the same problem under 3.6.11. I have checked ALL of my add-ons and they HAVE chrome.manifest files. This bug may resemble the one in 529655, but it is not a duplicate because it is not functioning the same way. It may be failing in the same way because it is not finding the chrome.manifest files, not because they don't exist.
Also, my extensions do not appear to be functioning, whether I can access the options button or not. I have been using Greasemonkey for a long time, and it has worked perfectly. When I updated to 3.6.11, I noticed that the icon was no longer present, and this option-button bug surfaced for ALL add-ons. Also, my Delicious.com addon ceased to function at the same time, and could not be reactivated.
I suspect this may have something to do with the functionality recently installed to prevent "stealth" installs of add-ons. I would suggest looking in that area, where it might be overlapping the code that checks the location of the chrome.manifest file and the validity of the add-on at startup. The add-ons aren't starting at all, valid options cannot be accessed, and the problem started about the time the whole Microsoft stealth add-on issue (NO, I DON'T want to debate whether it was actually a "stealth" add-on or not, THANK YOU -- trolls kindly remain under your bridges!) came up.

  • Why does the Add-ons manager take an excessive time to load and can I view my add-ons without going to the add-ons manager?

    When I start my browser up my everything that I have been working on comes up without any problem and I can open a new tab to go to another site without a problem, but when I go to the Add-ons Manager it can take over 3 minutes to load and that's if I don't stop it. My other question is can I view my add-ons, plugins, etc without having to open the Add-ons Manager?

  • How do I install Adobe REader? Their instructions for Firefox say to "Click on the 'Edit Options' button in the yellow bar at the top" but there is no yellow bar or 'Edit Options' button.

    How do I download Adobe Reader 9 in Firefox? Their instructions say to begin by clicking on the 'Edit Options' button on the yellow bar at the top. I have no such bar or button on my Firefox start page.
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == About 1/2 hour ago.

    The instructions on the Adobe site are outdated and do no longer apply to current Firefox versions and you can ignore those instructions and save the Adobe installer to your desktop and start the installation with a double-click on that file.

  • When i open the add ons page in firefox the pages do not display correctly the pages only show text and are in lists

    when i click on the add ons tab the page does not show correctly. There are no graphics just text. It is difficult to view the page details. If you click on a link within the page the next page opens with exactly the same problem. All other tabs and pages open and display correctly

    Hi,
    If you're using a theme you can try to temporarily switch to the '''Default''' theme in Tools > Add-ons > Appearance. If the problem persists, please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

  • How do I add a print button to the tool bar?

    When I open the menu there is not a "print" button to add to the tool bar. Even under customize there is not a "print" button. How do I print from mozilla?

    The Print button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list opens the Print Preview window.
    You can click the Print button in the Print Preview window or use the Print item in the File menu (File > Print) or use the Ctrl+P shortcut to have access to the print selection item and other print setup options.
    You can look at this extension:
    *Universal Print: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/universal-print/
    There are other things that need attention.
    Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
    You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click).
    The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
    You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.

    Hello again
    The bottom line here is that it IS possible to add a button for this to the CHM toolbar. This is described at the link below:
    Click here to view
    The possibly bad news here is that RoboHelp doesn't lend itself to easily allowing you to do it. I tried a few times yesterday with no success. 
    If you are willing to make edits in RoboHelp, then step outside of RoboHelp and use the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop to compile your CHM, you might be able to achieve it.
    I would also heartily encourage you (and others) to file this as an enhancement request with Adobe.

  • Some add-ons are missing in the tools menu and / or modules and navigation bar

    I am running Firefox 20 FRENCH (this is maybe important as all of this below does not appear with the EN version...) on MacOSX 10.6.8.
    Symptoms :
    - Web Developer toolbar not displayed anymore.
    - Xmarks add-ons not displayed in the module bar.
    - Icons of other add-ons displayed in the navigation bar ONLY after the first firefox opening i.e. just after system restart. If firefox is closed and re-opened, all the add-ons icons are lost.
    > All the add-ons are installed in tha add-on menu.
    > This behavior only appear with the FRENCH versions of firefox (tried 19.0.2 and 20).
    > Installed the 19.0.2 ENGLISH version and all is OK !!!
    Fixes attempts (tried almost everything...) :
    - Reset firefox profile and restart with a new one : no effect (after I have reinstalled all the add-ons one by one...)
    - Uninstall Firefox (with profiles folder, cache folders, etc...) then reinstall : no effect
    - The only thing that is working is using the ENGLISH version...
    This is really annoying because as a web developer I really need the Web Developer extension.
    Does anyone has an idea of how to fix this ?
    Thank you very much for your help !
    Regards,

    Does it have any effect if you change the general.useragent.locale pref to en-US ?

  • I clicked all the buttons in the file sharing window and now my iMac will not turn on.

    I really goofed. I clicked all the buttons in the file sharing window (Screen sharing;File Sharing...Remote Login; Remote Management...Internet sharing) but I did not write down the IP address and now the computer will not turn on at all. Is there a way to roll back my stupidity and get this thing to turn on again?

    There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

  • I have a new IPAD. There are no "list", "date," and "add a reminder" buttons on the Reminder app. There are also no "calendar" and "add an event" bottons on the Calendar App. Why?

    I just bought a new IPAD. There are no "list", "date," and "add a reminder" buttons on the Reminder App. There are also no  "calendar" and "add an event" buttons on the Calendar App. Why? Is there a way to add either a reminder or an event?

    For the reminders app - just tap on an open space on the ruled paper window under the heading in order to create a new reminder. Or tap on the + sign in the upper right corner of the app. You do not have the + sign on the app?
    For the calendars app to go Settings>iCloud>Calendars>On. Toggle the setting on and off and the + sign should appear in the lower right corner of the calendars app. Tap the + sign to create a new event.

  • How to add my own button in the system toolbar?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to add my own button in the system toolbar which is linked to one of my own menu item ? I did a little bit search in the forum, all said it is not possible. Can anyone confirm it?
    Thanks,
    Lan

    Hi Lan,
    Your finding is correct. The toolbar is not open to UI API. We do not have any methods to change anything there.

  • In Firefox 4, there is no New Tab button in the Customise Toolbar window - is there one for Frx4?

    In Firefox 4, there is no New Tab button in the Customise Toolbar window? Is there one for Frx4?

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
