Get error "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" and can't load web pages. Problem with Firefox 5?
I tried repeatedly to load Firefox 5. The Error "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" keeps coming up. The browser loads but any URL I enter doesn't load. Sites activated by buttons do load. Internet Explorer works.
07-05-11 When I turned on my laptop (Vista) this morning, I got a Start in Safe Mode and Repair message so I did. It suggested a System Restore, I hit OK. When it started like normal, I waited a few minutes then TRIED to launch Firefox 5.0 but kept getting a Mozilla Crash Report dialogue. So I instead opened Firefox 4.0b12 --error free-- so I could get here to get help. When I tried the Run... firefox.exe -profilemanager step, I get the subject error. When I try to open FF 5.0 in Safe Mode by holding down the shift key simultaneously, I get the subject error and no launch (though no Crash box either). I will try to let the FF 5.0 Updater run when it appears again but it never lets me choose when to Ask Again so I don't think it'll show again until tomorrow. Sigh. Oh, and like someone at a different version of this error blog re WinVista 32bit, now I'm getting the issue of Enter not executing the URL typed in the address bar; I had to click the arrow.
I hope the Update is to fix this problem.

When i start firefox 4.0, i get a javascript application box coming up saying "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" then i need to click ok to start firefox. Once okay is clicked, firefox starts immediately.
This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I am having to install Compatibility reporter so that Google toolbars will work. This used to be ok, but now I am getting the message-TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined. I am running under Windows 7 any idea how |I can get round it please?
If you force an extension to install by overriding the compatibility then the result can be unpredicted.<br />
The extension may work or may not work or cause error messages like you posted.<br />
You always need to be careful with forcing extensions to install.
You may need to check extensions.checkCompatibility prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.

Also receiving this error when logging on to some websites. Able to close the error screen and continue but it is aggravating.
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

Not much to add. Before Firefox will open, I get this error message, "plug-in object: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined". I click the "OK" button; Firefox opens and I have no further problems.
I use an Apple with OS v. 10.6.7 and had no problems until I downloaded Firefox 4.0That indicates you have an add-on that is not compatible with Firefox 4. For details of how to troubleshoot that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

What can I do about this:
After upgrading to firefox 6, I get this error.
When I click to open Firefox, A box open with the following error:
JAVASCRIPT Application
TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined?
After I click close on the box, then Firefox will start. I really just want to get the error fixed so that when I want firefox open, I don't have to see this box anymore.You need to figure out which add-on is causing that error and disable it until the developer of that add-on fixes it. There may be an error message about that in the Error Console, accessed through the Web Developer menu item or through {Ctrl + Shft + J}.

Upon startup i get error msg: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined
win7 ultimate, ff4, when opening via shortcut or task-bar I get an error message first, "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined", click ok and ff loads and runs just fine, i have uninstalled ff and reinstalled twice. problem still exists
This is probably due to an incompatible add-on. For details of how to troubleshoot that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Only started since the upgrade. Windows Vista Home 32 bit.
The error message reads:
"TypeError:Components.classes[cid] is undefined."Try the suggested idea above. I just disabled all the add-ons which were not compatible with FF 5 and did a FF restart. That fixed the problem. I then enabled each one, one at a time, with a FF restart until the problem came back. I then disabled that add-on.

I tried to uninstall AVG antiviral software, but it did not uninstall. Next, when I try to open Firefox I get a box popup that says:
TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined.
If I click OK in that box, I can then open Firefox.
Also I can no longer update Java.
Help!Possibly you have "AVG Safe search" extension installed as part of "AVG Free", solution involves reinstalling :AVG Free" without the Link Scanner component see
