Firefox lockup Window7 When Running Download Helper

Once in a while, after starting Firefox in my new Window7 laptop, the whole laptop would freeze. Task manager wouldn't open until Firefox crash or shutdown by Window7. I notice the download helper addon running something. After reboot and Firefox restarted, Firefox couldn't find the old browser profile.

Thanks again Viking OSX, it's nice to know it's not just me. Once you put me on the trail I checked around and see that an incompatability issue between Firefox and Adobe has been going on for several months

I guess my simplest solution is to use Safari for viewing PDF's untill adobe sort out the plug-in issue. Bit of a pain but not quite worlds end!
Just a thought, isn't OX10.8 supposed to be able to read PDF's by itself?

Error Message When Installing Download Helper 4.8.2 Add-On

I've updated to Firefox 3.6.13. The Add-on tab shows that there are add-on updates to be installed. When I download these flash download updates (Download Helper and Flash Video Downloader) and then try to install them I get an error message saying they can't be installed due to an "error in parsing value" message, "declaration dropped." All other updates are fine.
Any idea what may be the problem?

What bookmarks does the firefox give you when you download firefox?

I am not sure how but all of my mozilla firefox bookmarks were erased. I do not know if I will ever need them but I would like to put them back in case I do. Thanks

Hi Dennis,
Firefox does not really include much in the way of bookmarks when you initially download it.
*What did you have a set of bookmarks on another version of Firefox ?
*and was that on the same or a different computer ?
* Presumably these were bookmarks that you saved yourself ?
If you have been using Firefox for a while or have imported bookmarks from some other browser then you will have a collection of bookmarks, that Firefox stores in a folder and set of files called the profile.
If you update Firefox. Or if you uninstall it (without explicitly deleting the profile) and reinstall again Firefox looks for and trys to provide the previous bookmarks and history.
What has happened have you reinstalled Firefox on a new computer ? if so see
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
Otherwise maybe these are appropriate
* [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
* [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]]
If you try to provide a bit more information about what happened maybe I will be able to give better advice. I am not sure at the moment exactly what your situation is ragarding any previous bookmarks.

No home page when I click on the Firefox shortcut installed when I downloaded the latest firefox.

I got a new computer. With my old 512 mb ram HP, I had no trouble getting to my firefox homepage with bookmarks, etc. Now, when I click on the Firefox shortcut, all I get is some damn page telling me to download the new version of firefox. Which I already did!

See these articles for some suggestions:

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols

Spell checker quirky running Outlook mail with Firefox, works fine when running Windows

Using Firefox with Outlook mail. Spell checker misses many obvious typos and misspellings. After correcting an error or two with spell checker underlining of remaining uncorrected errors disappears.
Spell checker works properly when using Windows with Outlook mail.

I'm not using the MS mail service very much these days as there have been too often issues in Firefox that took too long to get fixed by MS, so I hadn't noticed these issues, but with checking it out I can see the same happen if there are multiple errors marked.

Download helper don't work in youtube anymore after about july 20

since about july 26 download helper will not work in youtube when bring up a video to watch and download . Before about july 20 or so it worked . Now i remember
there was an upgrade or something that made it NOT work and now i see there is NO entry in control panel in winxp as far as installed programs which
SHOULD have been there so now I can't uninstall the original with those upgrades. Why do these jerks make an upgrade that is much worse than the prior
one since it won't work on youtube though it did work on another place i tried. NOw I don't even remember exactly which one of the download helper's i originally
downloaded as there are many different types and versions of download helper in the add-ons. and i can't find which one as the jerks at firefox did not put any entry into
control panel add/remove software!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about after updated download helper never works in youtube anymore!!

Hi drdanl,
Please refrain from posting serial numbers on a public forum.
I am able to click on the download links.
Please try accessing the link : https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads from a different browser and check.

My firefox keeps flooding me with downloads and advertising. i don't know what to do

no matter what i try to do on firefox i get interrupted by downloads. help. i think i already reinstalled it once and now it is worse. i have the pop ups blocked but it is not helping. i cannot tell which downloads are spam.

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Where do I Go to Download, Video Download Helper v. 4.9.10 ?

My day started with a New Browser format (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/central/)
From there my Download Helper Icon disappeared...even though at You Tube the Icon does
appear to & seems to work. Next I went to (http://www.downloadhelper.net/install.php) but
that was No Help...problem only got worse. Maybe If I went to Another Computer and found
an OLD Version (copy & paste) I could get the Icon back. Why does this have to be so hard
since I'm at Mozilla Support?
After looking for my old version in My Files and trying to find my old DH it had been replaced with a tryout version. Nothing worked better than the old version...prove me wrong... give me
Video Download Helper v. 4.9.10.

Download from - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/
User Manual - http://www.downloadhelper.net/manual.php
*In the first section "Using DownloadHelper" there is an explanation about the icon.
**The instructions on that page to get the icon on the toolbar are when using the Menu bar (View/Toolbar/Customize).
**Alternates for getting the Customize screen open are 1). click Firefox button in upper left corner > Options > Toolbar Layout or 2). right-click on the Navigation toolbar and choose Customize.

Upgraded to 9.0.1 Download helper quit working no icon in my toolbar

I upgraded to 9.0.1 and my download helper add on does not work. I tried reinstalling Firefox 9.0.1 and download helper. That didn't work

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

After installing Firefox 4.0, I cannot download bank transactions into Quicken 2009.

After installing Firefox 4.0, when I download bank transactions into Quicken 2009, it tries to open a new file rather than go into the file that is already open and from which it accessed Firefox in the first place.

Such files that are passed to external programs are usually downloaded to the system temp folder (%TEMP% or %TMP%).
You may need to check your Anti-virus software if this isn't working properly.

Download Helper, already installed, but keeps requesting to be installed at start up.

Have Firefox 5 installed. Have Download Helper 4.9.3 installed. But every time I start Firefox, get directed to page for download of Download Helper which appears to be same version as one I have. What am I missing? What do I need to do to make it stop?

You're welcome.
You can rename the Firefox shortcut.
Make sure that you are on the ''release'' update channel.
It is possible that you are still on the beta update channel if you ever installed a Firefox 4 beta version or a release candidate. 
You can check that by looking at the pref app.update.channel on the about:config page. 
If the value of that pref is beta then it is better to download and install the latest Firefox 4.0.x release. 
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

How do you make the left-most toolbar smaller. It's covering the download helper icon.

The Firefox navigation toolbar covers the download helper icon in the left.
I cannot grab it to resize.
I don't know what made it bigger in the first place.
How do I make it smaller again? reinstall?

Can you attach a screenshot?
