Windows 7x64 FF 28 renders internal "Get Add-ons" page as text only

Setting up five new Acer Veriton E430G Windows 7 x64 desktop machines for work, each has been Windows live updated to latest spec as of end of March '14. All were brand new factory pre-installed Windows 7 x64, all have had the same set of software individually installed, Adobe Flash player, Adobe Shockwave, Acrobat Reader, QuickTime, Oracle Java 8x32 and x64, Picasa, 7-Zip, LibreOffice, Skype and of course Firefox 28.0. All have the exact same behaviour in that when the "Welcome to Firefox" first run page displays, it displays in text only with a large grey box "No video with supported format and MIME type found. If you go to Tools\Add-Ons\Get Add-ons, the internal page displays in full text only as well - no graphics, same problem when you load "Plugins" page and click "Check to see if your plugins are up to date", the following page/tab loads as text only.
After taking one of the machines brand new out of box and creating an Acronis snapshot of the entire drive [factory install before first run] using it as a test install, I played around with a number of software / driver / updates / Firefox add-ins scenarios trying to get to the bottom of this. I have come to a dead end in as much as all runs great within Firefox, web pages from all internal pages and many on-line websites render correctly when I load a previous version of Firefox [v26.0 or v25] rather than the latest v28.0 onto each of the machines, I tried v27.01 & v27.0, these gave the same text based pages. This has been replicated successfully on the other four machines with all of the above listed latest software versions installed [no AntiVirus software installed yet as not fully in use in Office yet], change nothing else other than load the latest version v28.0 Firefox and the problem reappears.
I did for the sake of completeness test the brand new factory install just past 'first boot set-up' and first time desktop hello, let everything settle and installed Firefox v28.0, [tested with v27.01 & v27.0] this too exhibits the exact same text only page rendering on internal Firefox pages. Yet again, over install Firefox v26.0, clear history and the same pages start loading correctly.
I am open to suggestions regards a fix for this as I really do not want to leave the machines with old version Firefox installed on each desktop. I would also prefer not to allow each member of staff to install Google Chrome. The on-line web pages that were found to be loading as text only within Firefox 28.0 were tested and rendered correctly within Chrome 33.0.1750.154 and IE 11, this would indicate something to be clashing with Firefox or Firefox not behaving with something else. I would like to get this resolved.

Minor update and workaround but still no fix: installing and uninstalling testing versions of Firefox again - if I stick with the bare Windows 7 Acer factory install clean out of the box [temp turn off Microsoft auto update], attach an Ethernet cable to give me internet, install Firefox 28.0 I get text only [are these pages css base?] pages for internal "Get Add-ons" page / "Welcome to Firefox" 1st run page / Mozilla "Plugin Check & Updates" page.
If I then flush all history and close - over install 27.0.1 and repeat all of the above I get then same results. Flush all history and close again, over install 27.0 and repeat all of the above - same text based results, flush all history and close again, over install 26.0 and repeat all of the above and we have a winner. Firefox 26.0 does not have a problem displaying any of the pages correctly.
Working my way back up version numbers again, flush all history, close Firefox, over install 27.0 and repeat all of the above and we are back to text based pages.
I have tried a forked version of Firefox - "Pale Moon - v24.4.2" on the same machine and this gives the exact same text based results. Would this then not indicate that it is something in the base coding or settings of Firefox that has been changed after Firefox v26.0?
Chrome and IE are displaying these Add-ons and Plugin Checks pages with no fault, why not Firefox 27 /28 ?
In the interests of curiosity I decided to try some of the beta builds, namely 28.b9 and 29.0b7 - unfortunately same text based results :-(
If I cannot get this to work correctly with these machines I may have to concede and let the Office users select Chrome which I really do not want to do.
Can I run any more logs files and upload them to assist in diagnoses of this problem for a hopeful fix?

"Get add-ons" page on "add-ons manager" in russian instead of english.What to do?

"Get add-ons" page on "add-ons manager" in russian instead of english. How can i change that specific page back to English.

In case it's a weird glitch with obsolete cached files or broken cookies, you could open the Add-ons site directly and do the usual:
https://addons.mozilla.org/
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

I use Google chrome and for no reason all my add-ons will not load.

Yesterday AM when I logged onto my laptop and opened Google home page, none of my add-ons (gadgets) would load. This has gone on for 2 days now.
I have rebooted, checked to make sure the site was listed as safe for add-ons and checked settings. Nothing has worked so far. Also when I clicked on "change google themes" there was no response.
Any ideas?

If your problem is with Google Chrome you would be better off asking in the Google Chrome support forums - http://www.google.com/support/chrome/

Add-ons manager not loading since I updated Firefox yesterday,right?

I updated Firefox yesterday when the update was offered. Now the add-ons manager (accessed from the tools menu) hangs. It says loading and the icon spins, but it never completes the load. I am running on a Mac. Thanks.

This fix is not working for me. It just spins and spins and I cannot see my Add-ons list. It is difficult to imagine why clicking 'Get Add-ons', which sets off a process requiring interaction with a remote database, should cure a problem with the Extensions list, which presumably sits locally.

Firefox 14.0.1 Get Add-ons stuck on "Loading"

I just purchased a new computer and, in utter spite of Internet Explorer, have downloaded trusty ol' Firefox. Unfortunately, the Get Add-ons is stuck with a bubble that says "Loading" but never actually does.
I am using Firefox version 14.0.1, downloaded directly from the Mozilla site. I have let the thing load for almost an hour, and nothing has happened. I have tried clicking on "Extensions" or "Appearance", etc. but it hasn't helped. Every time I go back to the Get Add-ons tab it will simply say "Loading." I have also tried doing a search for a specific add-on, only to get the same thing, but in the "Search" tab.
I have also tried rebooting the computer, rebooting Firefox, and uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox (i kept my preferences, etc. when I did this).
Does anyone have any suggestions? I really love Firefox and I hate to think that I would have to find another browser to use because I can't download Adblocker Plus.

Only had to remove the extensions.sqlite, and it fixed the problem perfectly. Thank you very much.

Add-ons are not loading, JS popus are not showing up after click, firebug button not showing

Hello,
I was using Firefox 8, and then today i noticed that non of the JS scripts are working, the Add-on are not showing after a click, The Firebug button at the top right is missing,
Thinking if I upgrade to 9 it will solve my problems, but it did not. How can I correct this? Am I missing something?

Get ADD-ONS window not working

Firefox 4.
Select TOOLS, Add-ons.
Brings up window that says
"When you are connected to the internet, this pane will feature some of the best and most popular add-ons for you to try out."
I was connected to the internet and I don't get the available add-ons. Tried multiple times

Try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

Firefox is saying that the FIREFOX "get add ons page" is being listed as an UNTRUSTED WEBSITE!

your own add on page says its an untrusted connection....
that is just bad in so many ways.... Ok... I believe you...
your not to be trusted....
thanks

Can you tell me the website you are going to, and what exact message you are seeing? Have you checked that the time and date on your computer is correct? Try the following:
Update Firefox to 16.0.1. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

FireFox 3.6.9 Add-ons window not working, add-ons not loading

After upgrade add-ons do not load.
In Add-ons window, no data; all add-ons disappeared;.
Also clicking < Browse all Add-ons > produces nothing, does not link to site.
Navigate toa site to download an add-on: Add-ons window appears but no data or appearance of files or anything. So< Install> button therefore does nothing.

You can delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
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.

Pages not loading properly and can't install add ons

After installing the Firefox 29 on Windows 7, the mozilla's site and add-ons page do not load properly. Some problem as shown in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/992362 and tried all the steps but still doesn't work.

I've got exactly the same problem on both v 29 and 30. The thing is, my desktop computer is fine, my BRAND NEW laptop, stripped of ALL it's HP crapware and just using MSE, can display ANY webpage ok EXCEPT anything to do with Mozilla Firefox add-ons, AND the browser can't install any add-ons. I've tried all the usual banal "fixes", including switching off hardware acceleration, but all I get is plain-text for the pages as per sample, and no install of add-ons themselves. Again, note that this is ONLY a problem on the laptop, not on my desktop. They are both plugged into the same router (both through LAN / ethernet), and so therefore they should both work properly. I don't want to hear any stupid suggestions about formatting and re-loading. Just damn-well fix it, please! I've already wasted more than an hour of my very valuable time on this ridiculous problem. And yes, I've even uninstalled Flash 14 just in case (even though Flash 14 is on my desktop and not causing any problems - yet).

Pictures on Firefox add-ons pages will not load in Firefox but will in IE

My operating system is now Windows 7 on a new computer although I use Firefox, not IE to browse the internet. I am having problems on the Firefox website, especially the add-ons pages. If I click on any pictures relating to add-ons I get a blank page but if I switch to IE I can see the pictures. This is frustrating because I did not have this problem on my old, XP operated computer.

When I update to the latest version I cannot access the add-ons page or request help because neither page will load. My Weather channel add-on was NOT piced up when updating to the latest version. Why problems with improved latest version?

I have twice downloaded the latest version in the last month. Each time I encountered the same problems. the Weather Channel add-on I have did NOT appear in the latest version. When I tried to access the Add-Ons page under the Tools header it would not load. When I tried to contact Mozilla from the Help header it would not load
When I open a web page from Bookmarks it is painfully slow to load.
This is NOT an improved version. I have been using Firefox for years without problems; I prefer it to Internet Explorer. However the latest 'improved' version may change my mind.

The problem is that the Add-ons Manager tab when opened the first time, is on "Get Add-ons" section and that must be downloaded from the Add-ons server which might be overburdened.

Foxfire 6.0 add-ons manager not working, says "loading", get nothing, now what?

Just received an update and some add-ons were disabled. Clicked on "Tools", "add-ons". Tab opens and says "Loading" but nothing loads and I can't do anything with add-ons manager. Is there a fix?

Thanks for the suggestions. When you click on Tools and then Add-ons, theAdd-on Manager launches, and by default "Get Add Ons" is selected. Although I was not getting any response other than "Loading", if I then click on Extensions or Appearance or Plugins, I was getting a proper response from those three. After doing that and closing out Add-ons Manager and then relaunching it, my original problem disappeared. Now everything works fine. I tested it multiple times and is still OK. Can't explain it but OK for now. Maybe the Get Add-ons portion of the Web site was down at the times I was testing it? I'll keep a watch on it. Thanks for your speedy reply.

I cannot connect to the add-ons page to get new ones

When I go to Tools, add-ons, I get the "What are add-ons?" and it tells me that when I connect to the internet the panel will feature many options.
I am online why can I not connect to the add-ons page?

There have been a number of issues with server problems over the last few days. Try to go to that Mozilla page again. The issues have been intermittent and could return at any time until a final resolution is found. This forum page has also been affected by the problem(s).
