Does firefox will automate remove some file in extensions directory?

I added [email protected] which is xss scanner tool in the Firefox/Profiles/xxx.default/extensions/ but when I start the firefox every time ,the ra2@domxsss NEVER exist every single time.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) 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 or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]] 
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" 
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Why does Firefox create so many temp files in cache? Once it filled up entire free HD space (46GB)?

Every now & then, Firefox will have created zillions of directories and files in Cache within the directory for a Firefox profile. The directories are called 0 (zero) through F (using the hex numbers as names, i.e.g), and within each of these will be more directories (with two digit hex names). The last time this happened (1 week ago), these directories ate up ALL of my free hard drive space (about 46 GB worth).
Why does this happen? Can I stop it from happening? If so, how?
THanks.

Yes it should be easy to reset.
It may be set from
* '''Options -> | Advanced | -> |Network| -> Cached Web Content''' [] Override automatic cache management
* see [[#w_cached-web-content]]'''_cached-web-content'''
Presumably your automatic setting has been overridden and the box needs unchecking.
I know Firefox does split the cache up like that IIRC it allows the cache to be faster and solves fragmentation issues.
46GB That seems a surprising amount and can not be right if it eats up all hard disk space. I also know that the file places.sqlite is a variable size, but that is based on the system in use.
The ordinary HTTP cache is also set presumably intelligently, but can be over-ridden by the user
This has some background info
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTTP_Caching_FAQ
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.capacity
My own settings as viewed in about:support are
browser.cache.disk.capacity 358400
browser.cache.disk.smart_size_cached_value 266240
browser.cache.disk.smart_size.first_run false
My cache use is limited to about 350MB

If I reset mozilla firefox, will it remove stories I'v written?

I used to use aol but it got infected. I switched to mozilla many months ago. My computer just switched back to aol. The directions to reset, list things that will be kept. I assume the stories I've written are included----BUT IT DOESN'T SAY THAT. It then says everything else will be removed. I'm afraid to continue because I don't want to lose all the stuff I've written. Please clarify.

Where do you save or post the stories you have written?
If they are created using an add-on and stored within your Firefox settings, then most likely they will be lost during the Reset.
If they are posted and stored on a web site, then the Reset should not affect them. But in case your login for that server gets lost in the process, make sure you know your login for the site.
Before doing a reset, could you describe the problem in a little more detail? If the problem is that AOL is your default browser (it opens automatically when you use a web page shortcut, Windows Favorite, or link in another program), you can switch that without doing a Reset. Try these articles:
* [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]]
* [[Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work - What to do]]
If one browser is infected, unfortunately, the software that is doing that may affect other browsers. Our support article lists a range of scanning/cleaning tools to help detect and remove such problems: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. If you are nervous about removing files, you may be able to get step-by-step help on the specialist malware forums listed in the article.

Firefox will no longer save files to my secondary hard disk

I've tried a few times already to download a couple of large files (100+ megabyte) to my 2nd hard disk, what happens is that the option download box pops up, I select choose download location, select the 2nd hdd, and press save, then the download box appears and shows no activity what so ever. I've tried downloading the same files to the main drive and the download starts no problem, while saving to the 2nd drive does not work for some reason. I was able to save to my 2nd disk yesterday without any issue. But today firefox will only let me save to my main drive.
And before anyone says to take of the adblock, noscript blocks, I already did before trying to re-download the files.

You can try to clear the cache.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
You can also check for issues with the mimeTypes.rdf file.

Why does Firefox not make visible some of the content on a major corporations employee webpage, although I've tried several things, they work in IE and Chrome?

The website is https://pshrwb200.jcpenney.com and after I log in, the website comes up but none of the images load. I tried disabling the Adblock Plus and a few other things (no proxy settings, allowed in pop-ups, etc.) which Firefox's help suggest and again nothing works. Also, like previously mentioned, IE and Chrome have no problem with this. Thanks for your help on this matter.

The website gave me access denied so I can't reproduce this.
If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.
See also:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
If you created this file yourself, disregard this step
it looks like user.js is currently active in Firefox. 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 delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release. You can get to the profile folder below:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Show Folder
or
*Go to '''about:support''' and click Show Folder next to Profile Directory.

Firefox will not open .aspx files. I can open them with IE. What's up?

I updated Java, uninstalled and then re-installed Firefox. It will not open .aspx files. Internet explorer opens them just fine. .pdf files open fine also. Don't know?

How would I change the aspx to pdf? As far as going to the menu/applications, I don't see an aspx in the list? Sorry, but I'm pretty rank in this department. Maybe it is the website and not Firefox, although as stated, IE opens them fine.

Firefox will not open some sites, no error is reported, it just sits forever with the status bar half way.

Firefox can not open some sites but no error is reported
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.aol.com

yea, that has happenend to me as well.
Well this is what has happenend to me anyway.
I will go to the apple site and enter the discussions forum, and the blue bar in the url box will jsut hang for minutes sometimes. THen the page will finally open as well as the blue bar will show up all the way.
But then i will click on say , the safari forum, and the blue bar will open just alittle, though the page will not, and ill wait anoither 2 minue and it finally open.
is this what they call, "hung up", or "hanging?"
but mine doesnt time out, i get no error message. Just th spinning ball , and sometimes no spinning ball.
lol, whoes post is this?
sorry

Does Firefox save the temporary internet files as form of JPG or AVI?

Hi
I really feel satisfaction about Firefox.
And I have a question that whether it remain or not temporary internet files as form of JPG, AVI etc.
I know that Firefox remains 'cache' when I surfing the internet with it.
You know, internet explorer remains temporary internet files as JPG file or AVI, MP4...
I'm just wondering that does Firefox remain 'caches' only.

One way or another Firefox tries to save quite a bit of information in order to run smoothly and help you. What problem do you have that you are trying to solve ?

Firefox will not open pdf files & changes the options/applications settings?

At first, with default settings, Firefox would not open pdf files & came up only with a blank screen & no file reference. Going to options/applications & changing the default to a new installation of Adobe Reader still brought up a blank screen but this time with the file ref. Oddly though, attempting to open any pdf file would then change the setting under applications back to Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox). But this doesn't work. So what do I need to do to get Firefox to open pdf files correctly using Adobe Reader?

See if either of these support article help you.

Does Firefox/Mozilla open .eml email files with Win7 OS?

I have installed Win7 as my OS. It will not open .eml files and Outlook will not either, and Outlook Express will not work with Win7.
I am searching for a browser and email program that will allow use/opening of .eml files.

Sounds like a Windows-only extension.
'''More about this add-on'''
Open pages and links in Windows WebFolder WebDAV client (similar to "open in Webfolder" checkbox in IE's open dialog).
Note that this requires the Microsoft Webfolder client to be installed on the machine. Thus, it's unlikely to work on Vista installations unless the Webfolder client was installed separately.

Cant remove a file from a directory

hi gems...god morning...
I am facing an issue but i cant figure it out..
I have two users which belong to same group i.e. user1 and user2
Now user1 owns a directory(dir1) and the permission is 775.
Now user2 makes a FTP and places a file(fil1) into that directory(dir1) owned by user1.
The umask setting is 027 and thats why in that directory(dir1) the file permission becomes 640.
But when i am trying to delete that file(fil1) using user1, then it is not allowing me..
what can i do..please suggest...thanks in advance...

thanks for replying...
It really looks strange and all i thought it is a code problem..
Means the scenario i have told here is not from the direct access to the solaris box...
It is happenning when a batch job is being called from there. The operations the batch job does is to take the file, do some processing and then remove that file. Everything is getting successful except the last step.
But when I tried from the backend(direct access through putty) then it behaves normally.
So i am confirm that it is a code issue. I have told the developers to check the code.

How to remove all files in a directory in java?

I have tried method delete() of File ,
but no effect!
can anyone help me!
thank you

So, you have a directory and you want to delete all files in the directory. Here is some (untested) code:
File dir = new File("C:\\tempdir");
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; ++i) {
if (files.isFile()) {
files[i].delete();
