Firefox plugins automagically appear in Thunderbird & Sunbird

Most of my Firefox plugins have been copied to Thunderbird and Sunbird, where I don't want or need them. Flash player in my calendar? No thanks. I have tried disabling them in TB & SB, but they become re-enabled each time I update them in Firefox. Operating Windows Vista with 2 accounts, regular user and admin., means I must disable the plugins a second time while running TB & SB as admin. (Firefox run as admin. is not affected when I update from the regular account.) Sooo... is this "Situation Normal..." , and is there a way I can remove these plugins from everywhere except Firefox?

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.

Why do duplicate and/or older versions of plugins/addons appear on startup?

I recently started using CCCleaner and ran an analysis of all the plugins and add-ons that are enabled for start-up on FireFox. Interestingly, many of the older versions of some add-ons and plugins appeared and are enabled. Moreover, several of the same programs appear more than once. Is this appropriate? Can the older versions of the the plugins/add-ons be disabled?
The following is a copy of the questionable items from my most recent scan. (I have removed my name from documents and settings, for personal reasons):

You seem to have reset Firefox a few times and still have multiple Firefox profiles.

This is probably done in an older Firefox version because current Firefox versions move the previous folder to an Old Firefox Data folder on the desktop.
If you do not need any data from other than the profile that you currently use then you can remove all other profiles.
You can also remove older versions of plugins that are no longer needed and only keep the most recent plugin version.<br />
You can see the path of plugins in the pluginreg.dat file in the profile folder.

Adobe Reader Firefox Plugin

I am running Fedora 8 (kernel 2.6.23.9) with Adobe Reader 8.1.1 on a Core 2 Duo with 2 gigs of ram. When I use the Firefox browser (2.0.0.10) to read a PDF document, a process named acroread is started. I assume this is done by the Adobe Reader Firefox plugin. After you leave the document the acroread process begins to use 40-60 percent of the CPU and never ends. Exiting the browser does not stop the acroread process. It continues to run away. After a couple of attempts the kill command will end this acroread process. At one time I had four of these runaway processes running at once. I assume that every time I entered a PDF document in the browser it starts a new acroread process. This problem does not happen when you use the Adobe Reader outside of the browser on local PDF files. Is there something I can collect to help solve this problem? Is this a known problem?

Experiencing same memory leak problem on Fedora 8 Kernel 2.6.24.3-34 x86_64, glibc 2.7-2,
with FireFox 2.0.0.08, 2.0.0.10, 2.0.0.12, and 2.0.0.13
and AdobeReader 8.1.1 and 8.1.2
b Observations when running any version of FireFox:
*1-when reading a pdf file, System Monitor displays a new process called "ld-linux.so.2";
*2-when getting off the pdf file, process "ld-linux.so.2" remains active;
*3-when reading a new pdf file, another "ld-linux.so.2" is started;
*4-when closing FireFox, one or several "ld-linux.so.2" processes remain active and become runaway processes;
*5-these "ld-linux.so.2" runaway processes eat-up about 1MB per second until system freezes.
b Another observation:
*When starting Adobe Reader, System Monitor does not display "acroread", it displays "ld-linux.so.2"
Adobe Reader launcher uses a script called "acroread"; this script launches the binary either directly
or through "/lib/ld-linux.so.2".
b Further observations:
*1-In FireFox, when Adobe Reader is launched through "/lib/ld-linux.so.2", it becomes a runaway process.
*2-On the other hand, when Adobe Reader is launched directly,
]-System Monitor displays "acroread"
]-acroread always terminates as it supposed to do.
b Solutions:
* 1-add a symbolic link as follows:
]ln -s ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
*2-or install Package redhat-lsb as follows:
]yum install redhat-lsb
b Conclusion:
It appears that "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" is not handling the "term signal" received from FireFox when exiting a pdf page. When Adobe Reader is started directly, it does handle the "term signal" received from FireFox and terminates correctly.
b Outstanding Question:
Is "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" supposed to handle the "term signal"? If so, this is where the bug is because it does not. If not, why is it used to launch Adobe Reader?
Home my many hours of investigations can help someone.
b Note
Sorry. Problem is NOT entirely solved here! Still some memory leaks at times.

Java is installed but plugin is not showing in Firefox plugins

I was trying to watch a training movie but it said that Java was disabled. I then went to Java.com to install it which it did. However, when I try it in Firefox it still does not work. I then went to Tools in Firefox >>Plugins but Java does not appear in the list.
In IE 9.0, the movie runs which leads me to believe it is finding Java.
Why won't it work in Firefox?

I found that uninstalling Java, using the Windows control panel, and then reinstalling it using the Firefox browser instead of the IE browser got it working for both browsers.

Extra plugin container appearing and using loads of CPU

How can I access Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin?

Microsoft Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin (in Firefox) is installed on my computer, but it is available to only a few applications. All the applications have a "Use other" application, but I cannot find the above mentioned plugin. Where do I "browse" to actually find it so I can use it with a particular application?

The information you referred me to allowed me to figure out what the name of the plugin file is that I am looking for. However, when I navigated to that file to enter it as the new plugin to use, the only thing that appeared was "No items match your search". Am I correct in assuming that this means that this plugin will not work for the application in question?
If that is true, is there a way to "force" it to use this plugin, just as a test to see if my hunch is correct?

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

I upgraded to Firefox 4. Whenever I click on the firefox icon, msg appears - "ug-in object: TypeError: id] is undefined". Only when I click OK will Firefox open up and then work as per normal. How do I get rid of error msg.

I use an iMac OS X 10.6.7. After I upgraded to Firefox 4, this problem occurs.
Whenever I click on Firefox icon, message appears - "ug-in object: TypeError: id] is undefined". Only after I click "OK" in the error message, does Firefox open it and I can use it to browse as per normal.
I notice it took a long time to open up some websites.

That indicates that you are using an add-on that is not compatible with Firefox 4. For details of how to troubleshoot this to find out what one is causing the problem see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

How do I get the Firefox icon to appear on my menu bar instead of a question mark?

I have been using Firefox 3.7 and recently downloaded 4.0
An icon showing Firefox on what lloks like a memort stick icon appeared on my desktop. I am a Mac OSX user. When I dragged the icon to my menu bar, a question mark (?) appeared instead of the Firefox icon. How do I get the firefox icon to appear correctly on the men bar?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Firefox Plugins Check says I need new Quicktime - but I don't

The Mozilla "Plug-ins Check" page says I have an outdated version of QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.3. So, I click the link to update it. Which takes me to Apple's website. Where I download a new version of QuickTime 7. So I download it -- so far, so good -- but then, when I go to install it, the Install Manager says that I ALREADY have the most current version of QuickTime (version 10) on my Mac, and it won't let me proceed.
So, now what? I can't find just a "plug-in" for Quicktime on Apple's website -- the only thing to download seems to be all of Quicktime. Should I disable the Quicktime 7 plug-in on Firefox? If I do, what will happen?
I am running Mac OS 10.6.3 and QuickTime Player 10.0 (113), and Firefox 3.6.3.
Thanks!
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I ran the Mozilla Plugin checker

The Firefox Plugins check URL does not distinguish at all between the different versions of OS X and different Apple OS X compatible computers, and the different versions of plugins for Firefox different versions of OS X, in the messages it generates.
Therefore:
a G3 PPC CPU machine user running OS X 10.3.9 (7W98) PPC or OS X 10.4.11 (8S2167) Intel;
a G4 or G5 PPC CPU user running OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) PPC or OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB;
an Intel CPU user running OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) Intel or OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB;
will ALL get messages relating to updates (of ALL types, not only QuickTime, but also including Java, Microsoft Silverlight, and others) that are compatible (at this time) with OS X 10.6.0 (10A432) Intel - OS X 10.6.5 (10H574) Intel, completely regardless as to whether they can actually run under the different versions of OS X.
Furthermore:
1) A number of G3 PPC CPU machines did not ship with enough VRAM (16 MB VRAM minimum required - 64 MB VRAM or higher recommended) to be officially supported under QuickTime 7 builds; If the G3 PPC CPU machine is a tower models with PCI slots, then it is possible to upgrade to a PCI video card with more VRAM to meet those hardware requirements, but G3 CPU iMac, iBook, and PowerBook users have to stay with QuickTime 6.5.2 or QuickTime 6.5.3 (some OS X users have QuickTime 6.5.3 for Panther and Tiger builds installed, from what Apple's "Software Update" used to provide...), as the VRAM cannot be upgraded on non-tower models.
Ridiculously, QuickTime 7.6.4 is the highest version that Apple supports under OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) PPC or OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB, and, OS X 10.4.11 users running Fiirefox 3.6.12 will get information directing them to update to QuickTime 7.6.6
QuickTime 7.6.5 and 7.6.6 are supported under OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB (there is no real reason that Apple couldn't have supported QuickTime 7.6.5 and 7.6.6 builds under OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) PPC or OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB as well, as it's the same code base, besides the fact that Safari v4.1.3 (4533.19.4) for OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) PPC and OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB was just issued by Apple, so the 15 million G4 and G5 PPC users get updates for OS X 10.4.11 without getting a QuickTime 7 update keeping pace)
The new QuickTime X is for OS X 10.6.x ONLY (currently OS X 10.6.0 (10A432) Intel - OS X 10.6.5 (10H574) Intel), and uses a different code base than QuickTime 7. Therefore, no one expects QuickTime X for OS X 10.4.11 builds, although QuickTime X still could be ported for the most recent OS X 10.5.x build, if Apple wanted to.
In conclusion, be forewarned as well, that before updating any version of QuickTime 7 or installing OS X 10.5.x or OS X 10.6.x, OS X users should always back up ALL the contents of these folders:
/Library/QuickTime
and
System/Library/QuickTime
and
~/Library/QuickTime
as some of Apple's installers and updaters can wipe the QuickTime files (codecs and components), installed in those locations.
I hope this information helps shed some light on these subjects...

I wish to unistall Firefox so I can make a clean install to get rid of all the Yahoo tabs, but Mozilla Firefox does not appear in the list of programs in Window

I have tried the suggestions posted in mozilla support for removing Yahoo from the new tab and the default search, but I have not been successful. So, I thought I would uninstall Firefox from my computer and make a clean install. However Mozilla Firefox does not appear as one of my Currently installed programs in Control Panel\ Add or Remove Programs, and C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe does not open or run. I fear I may have been the victim of some ?Yahoo malware. Any suggestions gratefully received.
I have Firefox 22.0 and my computer runs XP sp3.

Do you have the Default Tab extension?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

I have updated my Adobe Acrobat plugin three times today but the firefox plugin check says it is out of date, a problem as I repeatedly encounter "The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed" when I attempt to download pdfs.

I am attempting to download pdf's from a library search on JSTOR. I can view the pdf but cannot download them as they say "The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". I have been to the firefox plugin check and have updated Adobe Acrobat three times in the last hour, but it still says my plugin is not up to date. This leads me to believe that this may be the source of my crash errors.
I updated Adobe Flash from the same firefox plugin check page and after one try it now says I am up to date, so my system is obviously accepting these updates.
Help!!!!!

The following solution is useful for people who have the full version of Acrobat 9, but are getting the error message "the Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". You probably want the features in the full version of Acrobat, but still need to be able to open PDF files from your Firefox browser.
Go to Tools > Options > Applications. Scroll down and change all of the Adobe Acrobat files to open with Acrobat 9 (or whatever version you have) instead of "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". This may not be as handy as having it use Acrobat inside the Firefox browser, but it will still let you open PDF files without having to uninstall the full version of Acrobat. Hope this helps.

FireFox plugin (Adobe Acrobat 10.1.9.22) isn't highlighting searched words, anymore

Hello, everyone.
I worked on a project, last year, that created Solr collections of PDF files, and allowed users to search the PDFs for whatever keywords the user enters. One of the nice things about the project was that the FireFox plugin could read the keyword(s) entered by users and highlight them in the PDF being displayed within the browser.
When I first started on that project, I think we were using FireFox 17. NetAdmins recently upgraded everyone's browsers to FF24.4 (plugin Acrobat 10.1.9.22) and this highlighting feature seems to have been removed. OR, it could be that code needs to be updated in order for it to work as it once did.
What do I need to do to get the keyword highlighting in PDFs functional, again? Or has the plugin been modified so that it won't work, anymore? (This is a feature that our customer really likes.)
V/r,
^_^

It's not enough that the Adobe plugin is installed. You have to make sure it is actually being used... See here:
