Firefox 26 do not ask for restart after extension install

I have upgraded Firefox to version 26. When I am installing XPI packgae and after installing of add-on, it is not asking for restart. There is no restart button.
I have to goto add-on extension manager and from there I see 'restart now' link.
Is some behavior changed from Firefox 26 onward? How to make add-on install work as previous, where it will ask for restart. Please suggest option.
Thank you,
Akash.

It doesn't get restarted on its own.
Thank you.

After upgrade firefox does not ask for restart

On Linux Mint when Firefox is opened and meanwhile operating system package manager upgrades Firefox, then FF does not notify me that it needs restart.
I notice it since some extension stops working. Later I have checked package manager logs and see, that FF had been updated. Wasn't in older versions so that FF notified me that restart is needed for firefox?
Is it a bug or I have some setting missing. I need notification window be visible as long as user closes it or firefox is restarted...

Looks like that yea. I found out that for Ubuntu there is xul-ext-ubufox package which should do almost needed thing. I will install it into mint.
Integrates the browser with Ubuntu to:
* Enable searching for missing plugins from Ubuntu software catalog
* Add the following options to the Help menu - Get help on-line - Help
translating Firefox - Ubuntu Release Notes
* Set homepage to Ubuntu Start Page
* Display a restart notification after upgrading Firefox
* Add ask.com to the search engines.

RMBP not asking for password after sleep

I have a concern with the security of my Macbook Pro Retina because everytime I put it to sleep, it almost always doesn't ask me for a password. I'd say 9/10 times it will just go straight to the desktop without asking me for my password.
I have tried different ways of putting it to sleep:
Apple Menu > Sleep
Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + Power/Eject
Close the lid
Once in a while, I will see the login window flash on the screen quickly but then it completely gets skipped (without me entering a password) and it goes to straight to the desktop.
Also, not sure if it is related but when it skips the login screen my computer becomes sort of unresponsive. I can move the mouse and open/close windows but I can't use the keyboard to type anything. For example, if I have Chrome previously open I can (sort of) interact with it but I can't type a URL in the address bar. Other things won't work like the clicking menu bar or clicking the Apple Menu. I thought there was a rogue app open but I can't click the Apple Menu to get to Force Quit and I can't use Alt+⌘+Esc.
Basically I just have to force the computer to restart. It's annoying because I have things I'm working on at the moment - hence the reason I only put the computer to sleep in the first place.
Here are my current settings:
Note that I am on an account with admin access but there are also other admin accounts which I think is why "Require password immediately" is prechecked but not editable.
Wondering if anyone has experienced this before and have any ideas/solutions for me.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I've resorted to doing this. It's a small annoyance of having to type out my username along with my password but at least I know for sure it's locked.
I actually played around with a few things and I thought I fixed it.
I went to Users > username > Library > Preferences. Inside com.apple.screensaver.plist, I thought this was causing it
And I saw on another thread someone suggested to delete these files:
com.apple.screensaver.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
I tried it and I thought it worked because I put my laptop to sleep and the login screen showed up! However, after leaving it in sleep overnight, the problem came back =(

G5 starts keeps asking for restart after 1st. application is started

I have a three year old G5 that has always worked fine, suddenly this week the fan started racing at high speed and locked up, the only way I could stop it was to unplug it. Since that time it starts normally including fully loading up all programs and files on the desktop and even runs through my Ding fare info from SW but if I try using any program within a moment or two the screen will shade dark gray and tells me in three languages that I need to hold the power button for several seconds to restart my computor then the whole process starts over again with the same results. Anyone know whats wrong with it and how fix it? Thanks

Try booting from your OSX install disk and run Disk Utility to repair permissions on your hard drive.

Firefox window not displaying properly even after clean install

Hi - Yesterday firefox stopped displaying properly on my windows 64-bit dell laptop running Windows 7 home premium. When it starts up all I get is a thick translucent bar at the top of the window where the toolbars normally are, and the main content pane is jet black. I'm pretty sure firefox is actually running. If I pass the mouse over the transluscent bar the cursor changes to indicate whether in input boxes are for web addresses and the google toolbar, and task manager shows it is running the firefox start page. But I can see nothing.
I have uninstalled firefox, rebooted and done a clean install (twice) based on the help instructions, but no change. All other applications seem to be running normally. This is the first time I have ever had a problem with firefox.
Thanks

hello jp100, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

HT201441 Once I updated my phone 4 of 2 years it asked for a pass code but it did not ask for one to be installed, I am the only owner of this iPhone, is there anyway to unlock and set a new passcode?! Please help!

Apple needs to either tell me how to unlock it or ship me another iPhone 4 32gb.

Hello Stina36,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're phone is having. I did however find this support article that has great steps for you to go through in order to try and resolve this issue:

Why is Apple putting music on my iPhone that I did not ask for and do not want ?

I have a Mac Pro and an iPod Classic that I use for my music.
I noticed today that some of my purchased music was on my iPhone iTunes app. I did not ask for these to be installed.
Also, I noticed that when I tap on a song, sometimes it plays, sometimes nothing happens.

Do you mean this
No.
These are thousands of songs that I purchased using my Mac Pro. I sync my iPod Classic with a USB cable to move the songs to the iPod.
Now, my purchased songs (not the ones imported into my Mac Pro using a CD), are in my iPhone. I do not use the cloud. I have been very careful not to sign up for anything related to the cloud.
I'm trying to figure out why Apple is forcing this on me.

Ask for password after screen lock not working!?

Ask for password after screen lock not working? It used to work before mavericks, each time my computer display sleep I'm asked for the password immediately. Now it never asks for it?

From 2008 MacRumors discussion:
SOLUTION: Browse to Home>Library>Preferences and drag com.apple.systempreferences.plist to the desktop.
Caused by a corrupt user preferences file. On restart, you may find user settings have defaulted. Set up as desired.
Worked for me.

For some reason Firefox is not asking if I wish to save the user name and password anymore. Please help as to why.

I would appreciate your help on how to configure a gmail in a way it ask for the password everytime I connect?. In the only way I can configure it I have to include the pw when configuring the account and after that it do not ask for pw

I would appreciate your help on how to configure a gmail in a way it ask for the password everytime I connect?. In the only way I can configure it I have to include the pw when configuring the account and after that it do not ask for pw so everyone that shares my iPad can oppen my mail with no pw required.
Thank

The iPad is designed to be a single user device, and there is currently no way to password protect the Mail app - even removing the account password from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars will just prevent new mail being downloaded, it won't hide those that have already been downloaded. There is this work-around for the app : https://discussions.apple.com/message/13127632#13127632 . Also there might be third-party email apps that feature password protecting.

HT1338 The latest update for Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.3 keeps asking for Restart, but does not update.

The latest update for Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.3 does not update. Keeps asking for Restart but no update.

Yup, I'm experiencing the exact same thing.
I (and many others) are experiencing the same or similar issues with the 10.8.3 update.
I've sent an response to Apple but have not yet received anything back (yet).

Firefox does not actually crash. I have frequent power surges and Firefox does not want to reopen after a power loss. Any suggestions?

Power outages are only a few seconds long as the power company switches providers. Happens once about every two weeks. If in a Firefox session, Firefox will not reopen for four to five minutes after the computer is restarted. When it opens, it does not return to the previous session with an error message that essentially states "Gee we're sorry and embarrassed". I am using Window's Vista with Firefox as my default we browser. Firefox is up to date with the latest version installed.

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]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe Mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
