Firefox 19 add ons stopped working

Hello.
I installed Firefox 19. Immediately most of my add ons stopped working, and in some cases work but not correctly.
Here are some examples:
Noia4 - works, but each time I restart Firefox Noia4 reset to default settings.
Reminder Fox - Does not work
Status4Evar - Does not work - These may be related.
Google translator for Firefox, does not work.
AnonymoX does not work.
I have not had time to try ALL my add ons, so until I can be sure these work correctly I have returned to v18.

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.

"Upgrades" make many "NEEDED" Add-ons STOP Working! (ie Kaspersky Pwd Mgr, FEBE, No-Script, Skype, and MANY More wont work!) Why is this? I fear the ppl who write the Add-Ons will become frustrated and will stop. Plz email me- Thx

Im not sure what other details I can give you, that would be pertinent. email me and ask me what you will .. and Ill be happy to oblige you. But having suggested Firefox to many of my clients (I owned a Computer Sales and Service (STORE - not a basement operation) for over 15 yrs and even on our New Computers, FIREFOX is what we installed and recommended! Many of my old clients now (Had to close the business last year due to a number of factors) call me at home and are asking me the same question. Why wont my ADD-ONS work with Firefox. Firefox tells me to Upgrade to the new one, and suddenly we cant get .... (their add ons) to work.
I know Kaspersky was another product we sold a lot of, so their password managers are no longer working properly. More specifically their AUTO FILL function will not load when a new web page is loaded, thus the person can not access their bank acct, etc ... as they were dependent on Kaspersky to do all the remembering for them!

Add-ons not working properly

Recently (last 4-5 days my add-ons stopped working properly. Example: Tab Mix Plus shows as installed, but when any options I select do not affect tab behavior; Lastpass icon not showing up in the Add-on bar as it did previously; Newsfox icon doesn't appear in Toolbar as it did. Using Firefox 26.0 on Windows 8 on Dell Laptop.

I've been having problems with my add-ons. Ad Block Plus will often hang Firefox and drive the CPU to 100%. I've reset Firefox and installed ABP, but still have the problem. My other extension have also stopped working. Any new extensions will appear to added on to Firefox, but they also don't work. I've followed all on-line trouble shooting options.

Can anyone tell me why my collusion .27 add-on stopped working when I updated to firefox 20 (and now 21?).

Can anyone tell me why my collusion .27 add-on stopped working when I updated to firefox 20 (and now 21?). I've tried removing and reinstalling to no avail. I even deleted my profile files and had firefox repopulate those automatically to no avail. And it's not the only add-on to have stopped working.

Why is there no updates to the firefox throttle add-ons ? Is there an alternative? throttle is Bandwidth utilization throttling and monitoring extension for Firefox

Why is there no updates to the firefox throttle add-ons ? Is there an alternative? throttle is Bandwidth utilization throttling and monitoring extension for Firefox

Well, it's probably one of two things: either the awesome dude(tte) who developed this awesome extension was tired of updating or the changes in FFox software architecture carried out between version 3.x and 4+ created challenges that were too difficult for him to surmount or a combination of both. Honestly, I love Mozilla but I think they dropped the ball on the throttle issue. It's such an obvious and necessary function and it's so easy to implement. They should have included it a long time ago as in built feature. And, if you are browsing and looking at this post and you agree. Add a suggestion in mozilla.org. The more of us asking for this function, the better.
Meanwhile, I have the following solution for you:
Solution 0.6.9.23.11 (DIY Version of my Solution ):
Setting Up a Separate Portable Firefox 3.6.x that runs independently of and simultaneously to your latest version of Firefox
Get FireFox Portable 3.6.24:
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36
It's a portable app, meaning that it's got all it's profiles and preference and application files in the same directory. It won't compete with your current installation of Firefox, has it's own separate extension folder etc...
Get Firefox Throttle 1.1.6
http://firefox-throttle.en.softonic.com/ (I couldn't find it in the official mozilla site)
It will be flagged as incompatible with even that old version of firefox (but it isn't). You just need to turn off compatibility checking. You can do that with this extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/?src=search
If you have Bookmarks you want to port to the portable (bad pun intend), backup them up to bookmarks.json file on your desktop and import them to the portable version. You can export/import more stuff using FEBE addon but that's a whole world of headaches if you don't your doing.
Many of your extensions favourites extensions will no longer work on FFox 3.6.x but if, in that same addon's page, you look around until you find a link to previous versions of the addon, you will notice that the compatibility info is right below the version numbers. Just download and install the latest version that is compatible with you 3.6.x....
Voila mon ami! Your FFox 3.6 portable has just become your own private Download Mule whom you can throttle to your hearts content (ever throttle a real Mule??? I wouldn't try it, personally...) Do your regular browsing in another (unthrottled) browser and do your big downloads in the Mule...
If you want to keep using your brand spanking new Firefox for other types of browsing while using this portable Mule edition for the downloads, just add -p -no-remote to the shortcut leading to your Firefox Portable Mule edition.
For example, my taskbar shortcut to my Firefox Portable is:
""C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPortableLegacy36\FirefoxPortable.exe"
I just changed it to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPortableLegacy36\FirefoxPortable.exe" -p -no-remote
This will make it occupy it's own independent instance and I can use the both my Firefox Nightly and the Firefox Portable editions at the same time (each one, using a different profile ie. extensions, cookies, password, cache etc).
If you're on Linux, you can just run this on Wine and set the Windows Version to Windows 2000 in the Wine config,

Solution 0.6.9.23.11 (Non-DIY Version of my Solution):
Download my preconfigured but SWAGGED-THE-HECK-UP PortableFirefox 3.6
Having realized that some of you may find the above to be daunting. I took my own customize firefox portable, took out all my data and compressed the folder (it's portable, so it'll run as soon as you unzip it).
Here is a screenshot:
http://www.mediafire.com/?o95nkwo8y6q535j
Here is the download link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?xdw87ivf3184u2s
Don't forget to modify your Start/Taskbar shortcuts:
"C:\wherever you decide to put it\FirefoxPortableLegacy36-Swagged-UP!\FirefoxPortable.exe"
I just changed it to:
"C:\wherever you decide to put it\FirefoxPortableLegacy36-Swagged-UP!\FirefoxPortable.exe" -p -no-remote

Firefox Plugin container has stopped working (no matter what I try)

Windows 7 64 bit
Firefox 32.0
Dell Inspiron 5423 14z
I cannot get Firefox to stop crashing. I really don't want to switch to Chrome but it seems stable.
Things I've tried:
1. Uninstalling Firefox, erasing all App data. Downloading a fresh copy and installing it again.
2. Updating Adobe Flash.
3. Restarting Firefox with Add-ons disabled. (It still crashes)
Firefox still crashes.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? Thanks!

Compatibility reporter says none of my add-ons will work wwith FF4, is this possible?

Icloud add-in stopped working with Outlook 2010.

All of a sudden the add-in stopped working with Oulook 2010 on my Windows 7 PC. Instead of the refresh button on the toolbar is says "incorrect password." I have not changed my icloud username or password. I tried to setup from icloud control panel, but I get an incorrect password error. Any ideas?

Followed instructions in another thread. Ran "repair" on Office. In iCloud control panel ran the setup. Enabled icloud add-in in Outlook. Seems to be working now.

I get the following message: Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly. What do I do?

the message:" Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly" appears regularly in my maintenance center. I am on Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.17

I had the same type of failure. It was caused by a FF upgrade from V4 to V9.1. Dearing 1955 did not say what version caused the problem. My USB ports started acting up. I could not install the Webcam that was installed before. The HP Scanner of my OJ 8500 stopped working (USB). Did get it to work via Wireless. Removing FF did not clear the problem. Believe I have infected USB driver now.

Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly

Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly. FOR THE UMPTEENTH DAMN TIME... HOW DO I FIX THIS on Firefox 3.6.13!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
''edited by a moderator - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Forum+and+chat+rules+and+guidelines ''

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

In Firefox Yahoo Calendar has stopped working (it does not load) while it works in IE8.

When I tab from Yahoo mail to the calender the screen, the Calender header appears but otherwise the calender portion of the screen is blank. I use Yahoo mail in IE8 and the calender portion of mail opens correctly. I have reloaded the latest version of Firefox without any change

When you click the download link on [http://getfirefox.com GetFirefox.com], you should be asked if you wish to Run or Save the file. If the described situation happens when trying to Run the download, try instead to Save it and put the file on your Desktop or a similar place where you are certain that you can find it again.
When the download is complete, try double-clicking the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from My Computer). This should start the installation.
If you notice in the Explorer window that the file seems to be lacking the Firefox orange/blue icon, rightclick the file and select Properties. The picture should look somewhat like the attached picture (except that mine's in danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it does NOT look like this, please describe the contents or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File type" - it should be "Program"; if it's not, we'll have to look into what the problem could be here.
Slightly off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit out of date (IE 6, where current version is IE 8), so I would strongly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system updated. If this is a company system (like a Terminal Server thin client machine), this may not be possible, and your system administrator will most likely have to help you.

Why hasn't Mozilla FIXED the problem in 5 months: Firefox Plugin Container Has Stopped Working. Hundreds of people posted but there is NO SOLUTION!

"Firefox Plugin Container Has Stopped Working."
Why hasn't Mozilla FIXED the problem in 5 months?
And Why is there not any answer to how to fix it that an Ordinary Person can do, without a MS degree in computer science?
I had this problem in Firefox 3.6.8 and then just downloaded version 3.6.12, the latest one, but it still happens constantly:
Hundreds of people posted in June 2010 and now the help section says: "This Question is Closed" message is at the bottom,
But there is NO SOLUTION!

This file seems to offer as many issues as problems it's supposed to solve.
Fix your problem in 20 seconds, 15 if you copy and paste the 2 strings below:
- Open a new tab in Firefox
- Type "about:config" in the Address Bar (without the quotes)
- Click "I'll be careful, I promise!"
- Type "dom.ipc" in the Filter field on top of the page
- 6 lines of parameters should appear, ignore the first and the last ones
- Double-click on the 4 lines in the middle to change their value to "False"
- Close the tab, close Firefox, restart Firefox
