Having trouble with global extension installation on Firefox 3.6.3

I am having trouble installing extensions globally on Firefox 3.6.3. As you know the -install-global-extension switch has been removed and you cannot point to the XPI in the registry any more. What I have done to get the extension ID and confirm it has unpacked successfully is to install the extensions as me into my own profile, which works fine and the extensions launch successfully (PROVING THEY ARE COMPATIBLE), then closing Firefox and cutting the folder from %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\4sd8sico.default\extensions and pasting into %programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\extensions. However when I do this the extension fails to launch, and when I go into the Addons manager it always says "Not compatible with Firefox 3.6.3".
Any ideas please? I have tried this with both Keyscrambler and Public Fox and they both do the same thing.
Many thanks

You'll need to unpack the xpi package and modify the install.rdf file in it. Look for em:maxVersion and change the version number to whatever you have installed to make it work.
I was having the same issue with the ireader addon. It would install fine in the local profile but kept getting flagged incompatible whenever I moved it to the global extensions directory.
Unpacking the package and changing the em:maxVersion attribute in install.rdf to 9.0 fixed the issue for me.

I have plenty if space on my hard drive for the partition.

Thanks,

Hi,
ok then. At least that rules out that my eyes gone bad
How is your internal harddisk organized ?
Do you have one single OSX volume on it, or is it partitioned ?
The mentioned 'Disk 1' and 'Disk 2' are irritating me, do you have any external harddisks connected and running ?
If so, disconnect them all and every other external device except mouse and keyboard when installing Vista.
Have you the BootCamp Assistant in OSX (folder Applications/Utilities) to partition your internal harddisk for installing Vista as per the BootCamp Installation Guide http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

Trouble with completing the installation

hi there.
i am having trouble with completing the installation process of iTunes 7.0.2. i get to the part where status says "Registering Modules" and it stops there. i leave the program on and untouched for 30 minutes and the installation is still not complete. this totally screws up my computer and makes it unable for me to open iTunes at all. i have unistalled my old iPod softwear (i lost the thing anyhow) and there is no change. please help me i am at the end of my rope and i dont know what to do

i am having trouble with completing the installation process of iTunes 7.0.2. i get to the part where status says "Registering Modules"
this document is the best place to start with one of those:
iTunes 7 or later for Windows Installation stops responding while "registering modules"
... but if no joy there, and you have SpyCatcher (or the version of Ghostsurf Platinum that contains SpyCatcher) on that PC, try uninstalling SpyCatcher altogether prior to the iTunes install.
if the itunes install goes through properly after that, launch itunes at least once prior to reinstalling SpyCatcher.

Where can I find Firefox 3.6 to download since I am having trouble with Firefox 4.

I would like to install Firefox 3.6, but I am having trouble finding a place where I can download it. I previously upgraded to Firefox 4, but am having trouble with it and would like to go back to 3.6. Where can I find a site that will let me download 3.6?

What problems are you having with Firefox 4?
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

I Am Having Trouble With Mozilla Firefox. For Some Reason I Can Not Type Any Thing In

I Am Having Trouble With Mozilla Firefox. For Some Reason I Can Not Type Any Thing In. I Can Not Type Anything Into Yahoo Search Or Any Where I Need A Password. Anytime I Try To Type Anythink In It Locks Up Firefox The Same With Thunderbird Can't Write An Email Thunderbird Locks Up When I Start Typing. My Roboform Will No Longer Fill In The Forms. I Have Uninstalled All Three Programs Three Times. Can You Give Any Help.
Thank You

Hi,
Sounds like you have two problems there. One for Firefox and one for Thunderbird.
We can help you with the Firefox question but your other Thunderbird question will have to go into the Thunderbird queue. You can create a new Thunderbird question by going to [/questions/new/thunderbird]
Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
*'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
*'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.

I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
thanks

''' "... vulnerability in your software?" ''' 
And it affects IE, too? Ya probably picked up some malware and you blame it on Firefox.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. 
''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''

Crowntheme,
you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it still freeze after a few minutes?

Okay. I don't know if it's the broadband that I'm using or is it firefox, but I'm having trouble with a certain website namely Tumblr.

Firefox 10.0.3 global extension installation problem

After much searching and trying I still can not install extensions globally any more so I have come to you all for help.
I have just upgraded from FF 3.6.28ESR to FF 10.0.3ESR and now can no longer install extensions globally. From reading the forums I understand that this feature is disabled in FF by default now, and can be turned back on, but for some reason I can not get it to work for me.
From what I have read, configuring "extensions.autoDisableScopes" should work, but did not for me. Here is a simplistic breakdown of steps I have taken:
1) I logged in as an administrator.
2) I downloaded and installed "Firefox Setup 10.0.3esr.exe" (it upodated over my old v3.6.28 FF).
3) Using Notepad, I created a file called ""C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\prefs.js" and placed into the following 2 lines:
pref("extensions.autoDisableScopes", 0);
pref("extensions.enableScopes", 15);
4) I placed the file "noscript-2.3.7.xpi" into "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions".
5) But when opening FF, the "noscript" extension did not even try to install, and the file "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions\noscript-2.3.7.xpi" file still remained in the directory (in FF 3.6.x it would have been converted to a cryptic directory name when it gets installed, so clearly it never tried to install).
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Extra Background:
I am using WinXP. For global installation of extensions using FF 3.6.x I simply dropped the "*.xpi" file for the extension into the "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions" directory, and then the extension installed just fine next time FF started. After upgrading to FF 10.0.3ESR this method of global extension installation stopped working.
Thanks

Extensions are no longer unpacked by default to speed up loading (one file loads quicker than multiple files). 
Only extensions that have an unpack flag (<em:unpack>true</em:unpack>) in the install.rdf file are unpacked. 
Dictionaries are a category that needs unpacking.
Quote from https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Installing_extensions
<blockquote>In Firefox 4 you may also just copy the extension's XPI to the directory and name it <ID>.xpi as long as the extension does not require extraction to work correctly.</blockquote>

Hi, everyone.
I'm Having trouble with OWA and Certs after the Rollup 7 for SP3 installation. any idea? update 2961522-
after running get-OWAVirtualDirectory or test-OWAConnectivity i'm getting a message that says "OWA it's Orphan, No Metadata information can be found."
I only have the OWA users impacted.- anywhere users, and ActiveSync are working well.-

Hi Fabian,
Is there any error code when user access their mailbox on OWA. Please confirm if there is no results returned in EMS when you run Get-OWAVirtualDirectory cmdlet. Also check whether there is any Event Logs related to OWA in Exchange.
In IIS manager, make sure the OWA virtual directory is listed in the Default Web Site. In EMC, we can navigate to Server Configuration > Client Access, select server and turn to Outlook Web App tab. Then we can click Reset Virtual Directory in the right
Actions pane to reset OWA virtual directory.
Additionally, please restart IIS service by running iisreset /noforce from a Command Prompt window.

I recently joined Pinterest and am having trouble with it on Firefox.

I recently joined Pinterest and am having trouble with it on Firefox. I am able to load the website but unable to repin and pin my own items. The site works slowly but fine on IE. Any ideas?

You mean an external SSD? What kind of connection, that will be the bottleneck. Replacing the internal might be ok for a while till you start to fill it up, then the whole system will slow down.
