You can try to clean install a fresh copy after uninstalling the present version via Windows Control Panel '''Programs and Features'''. While uninstalling make sure to choose deleting the preferences and folders. Please also see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/916668#answer-305338 this] regarding problems with security software.
To backup important info which can be restored later, please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information?s=backup&r=1&e=sph&as=s this]. Some of the important files could be '''places.sqlite''' which holds the bookmarks and history, '''key3.db''' + '''signons.sqlite''' which are needed to restore the saved passwords etc.

Firefox opens a dialog box when I use the browser, "Checking add-ons for compatibility..." then open the Firefox start page along with my homepage. I do not want the Firefox page when I open the browser. how do I stop this?

Since Firefox updated it checks add-ons every time I open Firefox. The Firefox homepage then opens along with my home page, two tabs. I want the checking to stop. This has not happened before--only with this update.

How do I best backup preference settings within Firefox ADD-ONs? RECOVERING from FireFOX RESET

''added this question to this - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/948264 - question thread - locking''
Hello:
what is ffox support suggested procedure to backup your preference settings set in each of the ADD-ONs.
I currently have over 50 add-ons and the list seems to be growing each month.
My add-on component is becoming a major component of my Firefox solution.
Great in functionality, dangerous for recovering from the Firefox RESET feature.
I have searched help online and found nothing of value to provide clear steps of what one must to do.
Thankyou

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
Try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
If you rename the file(s) then you can undo the action or inspect the files with an editor like Notepad.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

How can I duplicate the same settings (add-ons AND bookmarks) from Firefox on one machine to another

From memory, it used to be possible to create a srtup file of sorts to re-create/re-establish not only bookmarks but also all the add-ons from one Firefox to another - on a different machine. In short, I would like to have them to be identical.

You need to mount that other partition to be able to access files on it and then browse to the hidden profile folder on that partition.
/home/user/.mozilla/firefox
You can only restore a JSON backup, unless you export the bookmarks in that other OS to an HTML file.

After installing Firefox 12.0 now it freezes on "checking add-ons" and won't open

I got an update notice and installed Firefox 12.0. I installed and the program froze during "Checking Your Add-Ons" portion of the install. Now Firefox will not open. Keeps getting stuck on that same step of the install. Tried installing 4 different old versions of firefox and the exact same problem. I sit and wait up to 20 minutes and nothing happens, I just get an hour-glass for checking add-ons phase of install. I'm using windows 7.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
Also check for problems with the prefs.js file and a possible user.js file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
You can create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Where can I find 3D materials add-ons for Photoshop CC 2014?

Where can I find 3D materials add-ons for Photoshop CC 2014? When I pull down the 3D menu to Get More Content, it takes me here: Downloadable 3D content | Photoshop.com. When I download and install the "Versatile materials", Adobe Extension Manger tells me I am installing "Material sets for Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended", which turns out to be the same exact set that I originally had in PS CC 2014. I also search here: https://creative.adobe.com/addons to no avail.
Anybody know where I can find 3D materials that are more current, or at least different from what I have already?

Translation add-ons for safari

I'm looking for an add-ons for Safari to traslate by selecting and right-clicking over word or phrase. I used Firefox with add-ons gTranslate that use Google Translate service. Exist something for Safari too?

Greetings,
The only "add-on" for translation in Safari is Live Dictionary ($25). Otherwise, you can use some bookmarklets to copy/paste text into Babelfish and get the translation from French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese.

HR CEE add-ons for different countries in one system

Hello,
is it possible to have HR CEE add-ons for different countries in one system?
Will SAP system work properly? What kind of risks of these imports?
Thank you very much.

A couple of generic answers on add-ons
- of course you can have several add-ons working on the same B1. To understand
the details on how add-ons are started and maintained by B1 desktop pls refer
to the e-learning available here on SDN
- compatibility of add-ons. There is no generic answer to this, it depends on the
functionality and implementation of the two add-ons. Anyway, if two add-ons are
functionally independent and they follow the solution guidelines, then they should
be interoperable. You can find the solution certification guidelines here on SDN
under the ICC section: these rules cover points like namespaces, event handling,
user table and form creation and so on that enforce interoperability.

New add-ons for PE

http://www.ononesoftware.com/detail.php?prodLine_id=11
Pricey, but possibly worth it to some folks, especially if the masking tool works as well as in their tutorial.

There are many, many useful add-ons for PSE. It can use most PS plug-ins, for one thing, and you can add layer styles, shapes, brushes, etc., as well as some actions. There are also add-on tool sets, mostly based on actions. Installation varies from easy to very, very confusing (unless you're at home in XML writing). Since you're using windows you might want to investigate Graffi's add-o-matic, which does installs for you.

New Add-ons for Workbench ES2

Hello,
On Adobe Labs we have provided a sneak peek at many of the new features we've been working on in Workbench. They are all compatible with ES2. You can find more information on Adobe Labs at: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lcworkbench_addons/
These Add-ons are a "Labs" preview of some of the new improvements we're currently working on. It is not a formal Service Pack, so try to use it in a Sandbox environment that is not mission critical .We'd really like to get some feedback from you on our new features (and any more ideas & suggestions you might have) over in the Labs forum.
Thank You
Gary.

Which jar to use in order to write add-ons for IE

Hi,
I don't know whether I am asking the correct question but I want to know can I use any jar in order to create add-ons for Internet explorer and, if any, which one?
thanks

Hi Akshay,
I have used the FM "ISU_DB_EANL_UPDATE" in my project.
CONSTANTS lc_modify TYPE c VALUE 'U'.
CALL FUNCTION 'ISU_DB_EANL_UPDATE'
    EXPORTING
      x_eanl          = xw_eanl
      x_eanl_old      = xw_eanl
      x_upd_mode      = lc_modify
    TABLES
      xt_eanlh_update = xt_eanlh_mod
      xt_eanlh_old    = xt_eanlh_old.
where eanl is the entry in EANL table.
OLD_EANLH contains the old entry line item of the Rate Category table and NEW_EANLH contains the new line item to be added. This is the crude way of doing this. But I didnt find any other FM useful.
But this works.
Hope this also resolves your query.
Regards,
Manish

404 Downloading Adobe Add-Ons for Flex 4 Release

When I go to download the Adobe Add-Ons for the release version of Flex 4, I get sent to http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/flex/sdk/builds/flex4/flex_sdk_4.0.0.141595_add-on.zip, which gives me a 404 error. Earlier versions seem to work fine.

@jmattweaver,
I can see that too on http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4 and I've passed it along to our builds/web people who will take a look.
Thanks,
Peter

After update to 10.0.1, firefox is slow to check add-ons and sends me to "Hooray! Your Firefox is up to date.", every time. Please advise.

After update to 10.0.1, Firefox is now slow to check add-ons and sends me to "Hooray! Your Firefox is up to date.", every time. This happens with my PC and Netbook. Please advise.

Hi jeff8478,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

I purchased holiday add-ons for the UtiliTap Week Calendar. I wanted basic holidays. Once added my calendar was flooded with listings for holidays, the majority obscure, repeatedly listed. The "hide calendar" would work only till the next time I opened it. These holidays were listed on the built-in iPhone calendar as well as the UtiliTap Week Calendar. I actually want to delete the two purchases because I tried deleting the UtiliTap Calendar (where I purchased the add-on holidays) and the holidays still showed up on my built in iPhone calendar.
