Firefox Plug-In Checker is not working correctly, can I stop it from running?

Firefox Plug-In Checker starts every time I start Mozilla. However, it keeps showing the same plug-ins each time as being not updated. I update every time but it still keeps coming back. Can I disable the plug-in checker?

You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file.<br />
That update will remove the severity="0" flags in the file that cause the problem.

    My itunes is not working correctly. can i delete and reinstall without losing   music?

    Hi there,
    You may find the article below helpful.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.

  • I have an iphone 4 that keeps deleting my notes. How can I stop this from happening?

    I have an iphone 4 that keeps deleting my notes. How can I stop this from happening? I've had my phone over 2 years and only in the past 2 months has it started deleting notes. Now they are all deleted, but thankfully still in my email, but only on a computer.

    I guess he/she open Notes in Gmail settings. This archives (one way sync) notes in gmail account under notes label that is invisible if you are using the standard gmail setup on your iPhone. You can see it on desktop browser, Safari or gmail app in iDevice. Am I wrong?
    Sorry for bad English.

  • Plug-In Checker is not working

    Have a new computer running Windows 7. On several Microsoft help sites, Firefox says a plugin (Windows Media Player) is needed to properly display the page. Well, WMP 12 is installed, but I click the link to download anyway. Firefox displays only WMP 11. I check the plugins, there's no Player pluging, but then I click any the listed ones to find updates, and the Checker comes back, consistently now for a week, saying it encountered an error and "come back later." (!!?!?)
    So, a couple of questions/problems here. Is the checker not working for others or only me? And what do I do about it? This will severely limit me in updating the new computer to have additional plugins that were on old computer.
    And is there not plugin for Windows Media Player 12? What am I supposed to do on pages that want a/this plugin. (Some are 'training' sites that obviously have audio or other stuff going on. And the sites work okay if I use IE.)
    thanks!

  • The firefox plugin checker is not working, how can I fix it?

    I just updated the Adobe Flash Player and now the "Plugin Checker" starts but nothing happens. I did notice an active buffering circle, but it went on for several minutes with no results. I am on a laptop using Windows 7 - Pro, and the latest Firefox (34.0.5) and a OK internet connection.

    No problem, saneman. Looks like you are very "sane" after all. :D The problem is on Mozilla's side (I confirmed with a developer) and they are having an issue with the plugin check page finding the correct version number. It seems after every Java update they have this problem.
    There is a bug filed on the issue and I'm told it's being worked on. So I will check on it from time to time.
    But I wish they would just remove Java version checking from that page for Mac users (as it seems the problem is more complicated for Mac users than Windows users) so Mac users would not be confused by this. I'd like them to just provide a link every time to the Oracle page that has the latest Java plugin for Mac regardless of what version number you have. That would be a WAY better solution than this broken situation we have now.

  • Firefox Proxy Fail-over is not working correctly

    I am in a corporate environment, where we must use a complex auto-proxy, by configuring an automatic proxy configuration of http://proxyconf/proxy.pac. I am seeing an intermittent failure with Firefox 3.6.13, where the same site will load after a delay in IE (e.g. it works for half an hour, then fails for a while, etc.).
    By using Wireshark and tracing the packets, I have identified that a proxy server is intermittently failing, and Firefox is failing to try the second proxy. The auto proxy rule that is being invoked is:
    if (!isResolvable(host)) return "PROXY 172.16.39.201:8080; PROXY 10.241.32.28:8080";
    The problem is that Firefox is never failing over - it tries the 172 address 6 times in a row, then gives up and displays the "The proxy server is refusing connections" "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections." "* Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct." "* Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working." error message. It continues with this behavior regardless of how many attempts, reloads, restarts are tried.
    IE on the other hand will try and fail with the 172 address, and then start using the 10. address (which works correctly). Several other applications also work correctly, such as IRC clients.
    Obviously the corporate proxy that is failing must be fixed, however Firefox is failing to utilitize the 2nd proxy after the first one fails.
    Seems like a bug.
    Is there some easy way for me to replace the proxy file with my own file? E.g. replace http://http://proxyconf/proxy.pac with file://c:\..., or use some add-on?
    It must be an autoproxy script, as there is no single proxy that I can use for all addresses.

  • Verizon spam filter not working---how can I stop the massive influx of SPAM?

    For more than 5 months I have tolerated the massive influx of Spam from my emial account.  I check my spam filter settings, my outlook junk mail settings, and even resorted to deleting spam one by one.  There has to be some solution to stopping this push of junk mail from the server to my inbox.  
    Any ideas and suggestions?

    SPAM Detector tool - for incoming email only
    What does SPAM DETECTOR tool do?
    Your ability to communicate with family or friends can be hindered by unsolicited email or "spam". If you have your SPAM Detector ON, it will sift and catch unsolicited emails sent to your email account and either present them in the SPAM Detector folder or delete them. (Note: You can adjust your SPAM Detector settings in the Settings/Email Settings tab within Message Center.)
    Furthermore, if there are emails you deem as SPAM, you can “Mark as SPAM” by selecting the email from your email inbox list view and select SPAM icon from top menu bar. It will put the email in your SPAM Detector folder and send an email to the VZ Abuse team and third party vendor to evaluate. If it is deemed SPAM, SPAM Detector definitions/rules will be updated.
    Please note that marking email as SPAM does not add the email to the Blocked Senders list. Furthermore, SPAMMERs rarely use the same email address more than once to send SPAM.
    With that said, You should start doing the following:
    You- should start reporting the spam with a spam button in the webmail client
    For-ward spam emails that were not caught to [email protected]
    Set your e-mail filter. An e-mail filter and spam blocking software are absolutely critical. Set these security measures to update automatically to ensure that you are protected from the latest threats.
    NEVER reply to spam. Replying to spam, even to "unsubscribe," could set you up for more spam.
    Protect your e-mail address and instant message ID. If you must post this information online, set up two identities, one for real use and one for online activities.
    Be wary of e-mail attachments. Change the settings on your e-mail program so that images and attachments are not opened automatically. Only open attachments from users known to you.
    Watch out for phishing scams. Don't click on links in e-mails or instant messages unless the sender is known to you. Instead, open a separate web browser and visit the site directly.
    Create smart and strong passwords. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.
    Never enter your personal information in a pop-up window. You may not be able to tell when a scammer has hijacked a seemingly legitimate site.
    Don't fill out online surveys, or register for contests or fan clubs. These may be fronts for spammers trying to collect your e-mail address

  • The Adobe Reader ADDON for Firefox 4.0.1 does not work correctly. Do you have an idea how to solve the problem?

    I created a fancybox displaying a pdf-file in an iframe on my website http://www.agbcbonn.de/pages/activities/2011.php . It works fine with IE but in Mozilla Firefox 4.0.1 the mouse-wheel controle is lost after closing the box. You can only get back controle of the mousewheel if you klick to another window and then go back but this is really annoying to all users.

    Thanks Roger Wilmut1 for your reply. I have Mac OSX 10.7 Lion and iOS5 . And since my question I have solved my own problem by going to System Preferences and Mail, Contacts, Calendars. I added my email addresses, including iCloud, merged the data for contacts etc. And found the missing link I needed to connect iCloud to my iPhone, and Mac calendars and more. Its now perfect.

  • Recently my ipod touch (old version ) was not working correctly, so i deleted everything from it---expecting to start fresh, however when i start  it up it continues to stay on the apple screen, what is wrong with my ipod and how can i fix it ?

    my  ipod doesn't allow me to do the thiings it used to. It would change the time and date and everytime i'd turn it to the correct date it would go back when i clicked a new app. it wouldn't load apps corectly because of this date and time problem. So i decided to erase everything and start fresh. But now it won't even load properly it just stays on the apple screen with the loading spin thing stuck. someone please guide me into fixing this problem

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • RSS Not Working - Trying to Fix Stopped Safari from Working

    I started having problems with RSS in Safari about a week ago. Every time I tried to view an RSS feed I got a long delay and then an error message page. And it isn't picking up on the feeds I have bookmarked when they change.
    I was following the advice of another thread and deleted the RSS plist file, then relaunched Safari... And now Safari freezes immediately on launch. I can't use the software at all.
    Anyone got any suggestions?

    HI,
    I can't use the software at all.a
    If Safari crashes, post a crash log.
    In the meantime...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Since you are running Snow Leopard, make sure Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
    

Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    bpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    If Safari still crashes, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari.

  • Is it possible to make sure the app runs all the time either in the foreground or background, User should not have the flexibility to stop it from running

    Hello all:
      I have an enterprise app and i need to make sure it runs all the time.
    If the app is not running i should silently make sure it restarts again.
    Any ideas on how it can be done. It is an enterprise app
    Thanks

    Hmmm....
    How about wrapping all of your dll calls in a single VI (or an Action Engine ) and make sure the VI's thread is NOT set for "Same as caller".
    "Threadconfig.vi" (sp?) will also let you dictate the number of threads associated with an execution system. Set your target thread for "1".
    Not sure on the above.
    Please correct me if this is wrong!

  • I am asked repeatedly if I want to shut down my computer when I do not. How can I stop this from happening?

    I am asked over and over again if I want to shut down my computer now. No matter how many times I click "cancel" the box returns with the same maddening question. I'm using Lion on a Mac Pro. How can I get this to stop?

    Perhaps the problem is that your Security setting is set to log you out immediately that your Sleep mode activates. And maybe your sleep setting is quite frequent.
    Otherwise you may have set a shutdown timing in Energy Saver>Schedule that keeps repeating when you cancel the Shut Down window.
    I haven't tried these yet and they are rather obscure, but they may be the software problems to check before servicing your hardware (keys and power button).

  • Spell Checker is not working although it's enabled in the Settings and I've already installed the dictionary

    I'm using the 3.6.10 version of firefox
    Mac OSX 10.5.8
    the spell checker is not working correctly although all the settings needed are correct,
    the dictionary's installed, the Spell checking is enabled from the “Browsing” section of “General” tab under “Advanced” heading .
    but still it only underlines the misspelld words without giving me the probabilities of the right word .
    this problem started to appear after I updated my browser version .
    additionaly there is no "Add dictionary" or anything related to spell checking when I right-click the writing area .

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Is prompted filter not working correctly with calculated items

    Hello,
    I am working on OBIEE 11.1.1.3 and having problem problem linking 2 analisys with action link
    The test case is:
    I have 2 attribute columns on a dimension
    1. Conto 1 Code
    2. Conto 1 Dsc (in RPD i set up the property Descritor ID of -> Conto 1 Code)
    3. Conto 2 Code
    4. Conto 2 Dsc (in RPD i set up the property Descritor ID of -> Conto 2 Code)
    5. Conto Detail
    and 1 measure on the fact table
    1. Revenue (defined on RPD as simple sum)
    On presentation layer i have the analisys:
    1.
    The First one using as Criteria: Conto 1 Dsc | Conto 2 Dsc | Revenue
    The layout is a table with sub-total on Conto 1 Dsc
    On Revenue i created an action link to the second analisys containing
    2.
    Criteria: Conto 1 Dsc | Conto 2 Dsc | Conto Detail | Revenue
    Filters: Conto 1 Code (is prompted) | Conto 2 Code (is prompted)
    This pair of analisys are working fine.
    Then i created a second pair of analisys as:
    1.
    Criteria: Conto 2 Dsc | Revenue
    Using Calculated group \ Items i created a numerous set of sub-totals
    On Revenue i created an action link to the second analisys containing
    2.
    Criteria: Conto 2 Dsc | Conto Detail | Revenue
    Filters: Conto 2 Code (is prompted)
    This pair of analisys are not working correctly. When i drill from first analisys to second one the Conto 2 Code filter is not used.
    Replacing in the second analisys Conto 2 Code (is prompted) with Conto 2 Dsc (is prompted) a filter is being generated on the drill but it's using the Conto 2 Code value and the analisys ends with no results.
    Thanks,
    Jonni

    Try adding Conto 2 code to the first analysis and keep the filter on the second analysis as Conto 2 code is prompted.
