Firefix update box and checking add ons keeps coming up evertime I start firefox, and I have 2 tabs at start one is the firefox updated that should be gone after starting FF once after update whats happening?
Every time I start Firefox it acts just like it has installed an update. the Firefox small update box appears and goes thru checking add-on's when FF opens I have two tabs. The first one is what you get after starting firefox the first time after an update and 2nd is my home page. This has been happening since the 6.0.2 update was applied. It also does not keep my history setting in the options / privacy setting box. I have to change it every time I log on to netflix and want to play a movie.

Ever since I downloaded FF 4, I try to play Text Twist on 3 different websites and nothing happens. It attempts to load the game and I get a blank screen. All of the other games that I habitually play seem to be working fine. What happened?
I got it working with the help of Live Chat tech support. There was some sort of error happening with my graphics driver... something that was not a problem with my previous version of Photoshop was now a problem with the new version. I updated the graphic card driver and software via the manufacturer's website and that helped me get through.
After updating the driver... at first it felt like I was going backward a bit... I got an expired trial period error again on opening Photoshop the first time, but then I tried again logging out and logging back in to CC as noted previously ( http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/cc-applications-crash-immediately- launch.html ) ... and this time that helped fix the trial error and this time that was not followed by crashing (thanks to the graphics driver update).
I have an ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics card. The previous version of the driver I was running did not work with Photoshop CC. I have now updated the driver to version 12.104.0.0 and everything is working now.
Thanks to the Live Chat technician who quickly identified my graphics card as the issue! -
At one point in time, I believe I had attempted to install bootcamp on my MacBook Pro. My university support center said that I had to press "alt/option" when starting up everytime, otherwise it would be a black windows screen and I had no idea where to go from there. (So I never was able to fully utilize the Bootcamp application. Unfortunately, even after I uninstalled bootcamp, this is still happening. How do I fix this? Thank you.
You should have asked us and looked at 10 posts a week -- same as yours.
OS X: System Preferences: Startup Disk control panel
Set and done!
x = Mac OS X on startup also
And no to needing to hit Option every time. Obviously they never actually booted and used Mac.
All it was is the startup parameter was saved and still set to look for a partition that does not exist and got lost.
ZAP PRAM is also helpful but you would still use Startup Disk.
About This Mac.... More... will also take you to control panels (why System Prefs if they are control panels? to be different?) as well as S.P. from the Dock -
After update to 10.0.1, Firefox is now slow to check add-ons and sends me to "Hooray! Your Firefox is up to date.", every time. This happens with my PC and Netbook. Please advise.
Hi jeff8478,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps! -
After installing Firefox 12.0 now it freezes on "checking add-ons" and won't open
I got an update notice and installed Firefox 12.0. I installed and the program froze during "Checking Your Add-Ons" portion of the install. Now Firefox will not open. Keeps getting stuck on that same step of the install. Tried installing 4 different old versions of firefox and the exact same problem. I sit and wait up to 20 minutes and nothing happens, I just get an hour-glass for checking add-ons phase of install. I'm using windows 7.
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.
Also check for problems with the prefs.js file and a possible user.js file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
You can create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Why is Firefox intruding and sending updates when auto updates are turned off? This constant updating wreaks havoc with add-ons
Why is Firefox violating my computer?I left "automatic updates" for Firefox UNCHECKED and left download when updates are found UNCHECKED. " Ask me wha I want to do" is CHECKED.
In English, that means don't automatically update and if updates are found ASK.
It does NOT mean ignore all the instructions and download! -
I am unable to update any add-ons at all. Every time I try and install an add-on or even the new "show hidden add-ons" add-on, I get a server error. How do I fix this?
You may have triggered some intermittent database issues but it should be running smooth by now. Let us know if you still see server errors.
Also, if your addons appear to go missing after updating there is a workaround http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/09/28/issue-discovered-with-firefox-add-on-upgrades/ And there is a 7.0.1 fix on its way. -
I have just updated my plug in & add ons, but they are several that say to research. How do I know what plug ins are necessary for firefox to run properly. I really don't want a bunch of unnecessary downloads on my computer
None are '''''necessary''''' to use Firefox, but some parts of some web pages aren't going to work without a specific plugin being installed.
-
If not, is there any way to stop the software update notice until these add ons are accepted?
Hi blabla12345,
(untested and without warranty)
replace this line:
const sSaveCUBE = "CUBE";
with this:
const sSaveCUBE = "cube";
Have fun -
Since Firefox updated it checks add-ons every time I open Firefox. The Firefox homepage then opens along with my home page, two tabs. I want the checking to stop. This has not happened before--only with this update.
