Folders don't exist for blocked add-ons. If they do, where are they?

I read and followed all the instructions for uninstalling blocked add-ons. Safe mode didn't enable the Uninstall buttons and the folders for blocked add-ons don't exist in either the profile or installation extensions folders. They still show up as installed. Now what?

Where did you find instructions for removing '''blocked addons'''? <br />
I have seen articles for un-installing '''''disabled extensions''''', but not '''blocked''' ones.
Specifically which addon are you referring to? Chances are that addon was installed globally, through the Registry, and the actual addon isn't even in any Firefox related folders on your hard drive. That makes it difficult to find.

    I have just updated my plug in & add ons, but they are several that say to research. How do I know what plug ins are necessary for firefox to run properly. I really don't want a bunch of unnecessary downloads on my computer

    None are '''''necessary''''' to use Firefox, but some parts of some web pages aren't going to work without a specific plugin being installed.

  • Is there a way to block add-ons from being installed in Firefox, even add-ons coming from 3rd party sites?

    I work in a small call center and I have been working on trying to convince IT and management to use Firefox on the computers on the call floor. The main issue I have been having in convincing them, is that you can't block add-ons and things like that as easily as in IE. I thought I had it with blocking addons.mozilla.org, which wouldn't allow access to Mozilla's add-on site. However, with that, techs would still be able to go to 3rd party sites, generally the creators of the add-ons, and download them there. Anybody have any ideas on how to stop this?

    You can configure Firefox settings to notify you before installing an add-on.
    -> click Firefox '''button''' and click '''Options''' (or Tools Menu -> Options)
    * '''Security''' panel -> place Checkmark on '''Warn me when websites try to install add-ons''' -> click '''Exceptions''' button -> click '''Remove All Sites''' button and click '''OK'''
    * click OK on Options window
    Check and tell if its working.

  • If I choose sync settings for my add-ons, laptop and android, will one device' s add-ons go on the other automatically?

    If I choose sync settings for my add-ons, between my Windows XP laptop and android phone, will one device' s add-ons go on the other automatically?
    For example, if i add a password manager add-on to my PC, will that same add-on go onto my phone? Or will i have to separately add it again to my phone?
    If I do have to add it separately, then what exactly IS the add-on syncing doing?

    hmmm... i have no idea what the "install.rdf file" of an extension) is? or how to check that?
    thanks!

  • After updating Firefox to 5.0.1 the add-ons Manager did not show any of my add-ons, although they were all running.

    After updating Firefox to 5.0.1 the add-ons Manager did not show any of my add-ons, although they were all running. Several restarts of Firefox, even with the add-ons disabled did not bring them back. I then installed another add-on and after restarting, all of the previous add-ons are now shown in the manager.
    Running on Mac 10.5.8. Add-ons installed:
    Adblock Plus, Add-on Compatibility reporter, Ant Video Downloader, Forecastfox, Google toolbar, Reload Every, Session Manager, and Steep and Cheap Watcher.
    Note: the troubleshooting information was taken after the problem was fixed. Prior to fixing the issue, there were no items under the Extensions heading. Add-on Compatibility Reporter was the add-on that was added to restore all of the other add-ons, even though it was already installed.

    '''Good to know you solved your own problem by simply installing another extension''', I like solutions that aren't going to cause extra work, or loss of data.
    Here is what people normally have to do for missing extensions, as if not installed.-- <br>https://support.mozilla.com/questions/826729
    :http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions_%28Firefox%29
    FWIW, renaming or deleting extensions.sqlite and the other files beginning with "extensions." causes the files to be rebuilt from the extensions directory, so nothing is lost, but they will be restored in alphabetical order.
    I've solved places.sqlite problems by simply restoring a bookmarks backup, or creating a bookmarks backup and restoring that rather than face loss of history.
    Please mark as solved so others will see your answer when looking for solved problems as solutions to there own or other people's problems.

  • When I go to the crash report page the signature is null for ALL the crash reports. Is there any solution other than uninstall this version and try to install an eariler version? I don't have many add-ons and they never caused a problem before.

    Every since I updated to version 4 my browser has been constantly crashing, especially when I have a few tabs open. I need to give up on this version. My computer is windows XP sp3. Can I uninstall version 4 and install an earlier version and still get my add-ons? I don't have many, but xmarks and firebug are important to me.
    Now this form is malfunctioning.

    Try to uninstall the current Java version and maybe delete the Java installation folder (C:\Java) if that didn't work.
    You can also use the JavaRa Uninstaller.

  • "unknown user type" exception when the object don't exist for i/p key.

    Hi
    I'm using Coherence REST service(comes with the Coherence bundle) to validate my cache data.
    When I hit the cache for a valid key, I get data returned back. But for the object that don't exist in the cache I get "Internal Server" error.
    I'm fine with "Internal Server" response show in the browser, but I don't want it to be printed as part of my coherence logs.
    For example, when I hit the REST url for key that don't exist in the cache, I get below exception in coherence logs.
    How can I get rid off it (or) suppress the exception logs.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Help needed with deploying Firefox 3.6.11 to upgrade existing installations including add-ons and plug-ins

    Hello, I need to deploy Firefox 3.6.11 to existing installations to upgrade them from the old version. That part is fine, the problem I have is will the silent installation update any non-compatible add-ons or extensions? I will be using SCCM for the deployement part..
    I ran the installation manually on a typical machine of which it gave the option of upgrading the existing client. Thats fine but the installation then prompted that 2 currently installed add-ons were not compatible with the new version. It lets you select and then "check" for later versions of those add-ins, actually checks for updates and lets you select and install those too!!
    Now, how do you deploy silently with those options I`ve mentioned above??? Cant find any command line parameter that allow for that!
    Please Help!

    James j,
    You have a different problem. Your screenshot shows "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed".
    See [[Plugin crash reports]] and [[The adobe Flash plugin has crashed]]. If you need more help you should [[ask a question|ask a new question]] (start a new thread).

  • I closed then reopened my navigation toolbar using the Alt button. When it re-opened the add-ons(?) that were on it were no longer there. I'm specifically looking for two add-ons that took me to "Major Television channels" and "Minor television channels".

    I would be content just to have the add-ons back, the one that allowed me to view ABC, NBC, CBS and a handful of other channels, and the one that connected me to the National Geographic channel and I believe some of the Discovery, etc channels . I can get to the Nat Geo if I go through my history but most of the other channels I can't. I've had MozFire on my computer for a while but mainly used Google Chrome until last week when I decided to check out MozFire. As has happened in the past I found myself really liking this program and wondering why I haven't been using it all along.

  • After upgrading firefox it gets hung up on checking for compatibility add-ons and won't run

    I still can't find an answer on any of the support forums and no one helped me when I asked yesterday, is there anyone that may have a clue as what I can do to fix this?
    I updated my fire fox on my MAC OS X to 3.6.6 version of firefox, everything went smooth till I open FireFox then the window firefox update opens up and about 1/3 through the process it gets stuck on Checking Compatibility of Add-ons and doesn't go any further. I have hit cancel and firefox opens but it doesn't open any web sites. I have removed firefox and re-installed and it is still doing the same thing. I have also let it run over night thinking it may just take a while and it never progresses, please advise, I am new to MAC but FireFox is the only browser on my mac that will open one of my business pages, known issue with mac for this company.
    == This happened ==

    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.
