How can I get extensions to load in a Microsoft App-V environment?

I am trying to install Firefox 25.0.1 as a virtual application through Microsoft App-V. Everything works fine, until I attempt to install an extension. The extension installs, I can see it in the list of installed extensions, and I see the *.xpi file in the profile. However, the extension never loads when I restart the browser. Also, if I go to Extensions in the Add-ons Manager and click on Options, it freezes the entire browser. This behavior is consistent with any extension that I add. I have confirmed that these extensions work on an identical Windows 7 system where Firefox is installed as a standard application.
Note that App-V will allow changes to the user profile, which is why I can see the *.xpi files. App-V does not allow any modifications to the installation directory in Program Files. When an extension is added, what gets modified in the Firefox directory in Program Files? Also, if there is a file that gets modified in the installation directory, is there a way to redirect that?

As far as I know and have seen over my years of testing Firefox, installing a addon does not modify any files in the Program Files installation directory.
Everything is saved in the individual Firefox profile.
Your problem sounds pretty unusual for sure. I'd recommend reading over these 2 guides in case there may be any tips that can help you figure this out. If I come across anything more helpful, I'll post it here.

How exactly are you installing the addons? Sounds like you're placing the .xpi files directly into the Firefox profile folder. But you shouldn't be doing that.
Instead try putting the .xpi files into C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser\extensions then start Firefox once. You should get a message asking if you want to install the addons, click yes and then Firefox will create a extensions folder in the Firefox profile folder and add the .xpi files there.
Or you could manually create a extensions folder in the firefox profile and place the .xpi files in there. That should work too.

  • How can I get a new copy of the Voicemail app for my LG Spectrum?

    How can I get a new copy of the Voicemail app for my LG Spectrum?  It no longer works....the screen say Loading please wait....the
    !Visual Voice Mail - A Visual Voice Mail error has occurred.  Please try again. OK   I've tryed several times with the same message.  I've
    deleted the app from my screen and replaced it from the Apps Library....still the same message.
    I cannot find an answer on MyVerizon.  Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Dee

    OK, at least 3 is working.
    I don't know how you have a Tape Recorder icon on your Home Screen. I cannot add one myself. But, I am running Holo Launcher in replacement of the default LG "Optimus" User Interface. It's much better in my opinion.
    Try long pressing the icon and select Edit and maybe you can change some attribute of the icon.
    Another thing you could do, is long-press an empty area of your desktop, to add an icon. Select Shortcut, then Select Contact, and scroll through your contact list and choose the contact that you added for *86.
    You realize if you have voice mail you haven't heard, there is a tape recorder icon in the notification bar, which you touch and pull down, then press it to dial voicemail.
    If that functionality doesn't work, you MIGHT want to consider doing a factory data reset on your device, but that is going to nuke all your personalizations and cause you work to set up again.

  • I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1. How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?

    I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1.
    How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?
    In the appstore there are only the lat app versions, most of them are incompatible with my device.
    I know that previous versions of these apps were compatible with my ipod.
    Can all download them someway?
    thanks

    The problem is: I never had the compatible versions. But I want them, I'd buy them if I could.
    So I'm stuck with my Ipod, which can't be upgraded anymore to higher IOS versions, and with the appstore, that does not offer older versions; versions that have existed and still exist, perhaps in the recycle bin of some users, or somewhere in the appstore servers.
    I know, its a policy, just to sell more devices. Will not work with me. I'm not buying more Ipods

  • How can I get the page loading in progress indicator visible as in 3.6??

    1)
    When a page takes long to load it would be nice to see its progress, if any, as I used to have in the earlier 'FF-version. Is it possible somehow?
    2)
    If I choose "no tabs" to save space on screen can I get the tabs visible when needed, without going to preferences?

    1. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
    2. That pref suppresses the Tab bar when there is only one Tab open. With two or more Tabs Firefox should always show the Tab bar. ''Unless you are referring to a preference added to Firefox by an add-on.''

  • My ipod was stolen how can i get it back? i have the app find my iphone and i have gone on the mobleme website but it might need to be replaced, could i get any kind of discount? it was a 32GB ipod 4.

    My ipod has been stolen and i may need to get a new one i do not know what to do please help!

    Find my iPhone is relatively useless when it comes to recovering a stolen device. Anyone with a bit of know how can defeat it in a matter of minutes. It's really meant  to help a person find a misplaced device.
    Presume that any and all data and info on that device is compromised, do as Illass says, change any and all passwords to every account or site you accessed on the device and write it off as gone.
