How do I get Firefox to check addon compatibility first, then ask me if I want to continue the Firefox update?

How do I get Firefox to check add-on compatibility first, then ask me if I want to continue the Firefox update? The update process currently only tells me that an add-on has been disable after applying the Firefox update. The Options > Advanced > Update tab switch, "Warn me if this will disable any of my add-ons", does not seem to work.

How do we check that new versions of FF are compatible with our existing Add-ons? I'm really quite over always having half of them not working after updating FF. It's very frustrating. Couldn't there be an option in the Add-ons menu that checks if they're compatible with a new version? Thanks.

  • In email, when I click on a "pdf" file, how do i get it to just open instead of being asked what program I want to use?

    When I get a "pdf" in an email and I click on the "pdf" button, I am always asked what program I want to use. How do I get the file to just open automatically?

    You can specify in Windows what program to use for a given extension, for instance Adobe Acrobat Reader, for files with PDF extension. How you can connect the program and the extension, is described in this article; [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default "Change which programs Windows uses by default"]
    In Firefox PDF links get opened automatically with Acrobat reader. When clicking on PDF attachments in Thunderbird, however, you will need to associate the program and the extension as described in the above article.
    Hope it helps!

  • How do I get rid of x-notifier as I neither asked fot it nor want it

    I have just upgraded to Firefox 18 and once more (Firefox is not the only one by the way) there has been stuff added that I neither need nor want.
    I have neither the time nor inclination to go hunting for it to remove it.
    1. Please stop doing this
    2. Tell me how to get rid of it

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • When I go thruFirefox to get to Ebay it works great but then if I place a bid on Ebay the Firefox crashes. This is the only time this happens.

    I sign onto Ebay though the Mozilla Firefox and all goes well until I actually place a bid and confirm the bid. Then Firefox crashes and I have to start all over again. This is very annoying when I'm bidding on something.

    Final Cut Express was discontinued about 18 months ago, before the release of Lion (10.7).  It is no longer a supported product and was never supported on Lion, nor on Mountain Lion.
    While some FCE users have had success running FCE on Lion, many have reported problems including problems with chroma keying.   I do not recall any solution to the chroma keying problem, but you might try searching this Forum to see what others have discovered or tried.
    Final Cut Pro X is the app supported on Lion & Mountain Lion, and the future direction Apple has taken.  Since your computer lab has already moved to Lion (10.7.5) and presumably will move to Mountain Lion in the future, you should begin the process of moving to Final Cut Pro X.  I appreciate there are implications for cost, training, inconvenience and re-doing lesson plans.  But technology moves on and at some point we need to move with it too.

    Cheers Alex

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • How do I stop the check plug in page from popping up every time I double click the firefox desktop icon?

    Two pages pop up when I double click the firefox icon on the desktop, the home page and the check plug in page. How do I stop the check plug in page from repeatedly popping up when I double click the firefox icon?

    ''I uninstalled AOL IM and disabled MetaStream 3 Plugin but that didn't work either. I don't currently have viewpoint media player that I'm aware of. ''
    '''''MetaStream 3 Plugin''' MetaStream 3 Plugin r4 Unknown plugin Research''
    This is apparently the Viewpoint Media Player plugin '''npViewpoint.dll'''. Even though you don't see the Viewpoint Media Player listed in your list of installed programs, it might be listed as a different application.
    Disabling the MetaStream 3 Plugin in the Firefox Add-ons Manager removes it from the about:plugins list but apparently does not stop the PluginCheck from finding it. You should re-enable the MetaStream 3 Plugin in the Firefox Add-ons Manager list of plugins. You can then find and remove the plugin file '''npViewpoint.dll''' from your computer, using the following instructions, from this thread at mozillazine:<br>

    The Plugin Check page listed about eight plugins with status listed as "unknown plugin." It turns out that the very last one on the list, ''''MetaStream 3 Plugin'''', which dated all the way back to 1/13/2004, was the one triggering this "Update" Nag. Here's what I did.
    #Enter about:config into the address bar
    #Locate the preference 'plugin.expose_full_path' by typing it into the filter bar
    #Toggle that preference true (right click, toggle)
    #Enter about:plugins in the address bar
    #The resulting "Installed Plugins" list will now show the full path and file name of the associated plugin DLL file.
    #Simply go to the directory of the suspect plugin (using Windows Explorer or whatever) and rename the DLL file (I just appended '.OLD' to the DLL file name, e.g., ''''npViewpoint.dll'''.OLD')
    #Quit firefox (file, exit) and restart.
    #If you don't get redirected to the Plugin Check page then problem solved. If you do get redirected to the Plugin Check page then the plugin you just nuked (by renaming the DLL file) should be gone from the list.
    #Repeat with the other "unknown plugins" until you don't get redirected upon Firefox startup.

  • Firefox 9.01 keeps checking addon compatibility at startup. UGGH

    Firefox 9.01 keeps checking addon compatibility at startup. The option is not checked and the previous addon to disable doesn't work. Ideas?

    You can check these KB articles:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
    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.com/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.

    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 do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.

    How do I get a numbers spread sheet to open where I left it and not start from the beginning every time I open it?

    There is no built-in setting for redirecting a bookmark to a new tab.
    Is it possible that the computer which does that has an add-on such as the Tab Mix Plus extension installed? TMP has a setting for that (Events > Tab Opening).

    Hello, I have been experiencing similar problems and followed the suggestion and yes, the raw icon comes up as illustrated but there is nothing there to indicate any further action can be taken.  So I am presuming that means it is installed and no further action required?
    Here's my problem:  I have had no problems  getting my pics into my organiser in Elements 12 from either my Nikon D7100 or my Fujifilm X100S - until last week.  Suddenly when they are imported all I see is the timer icons but they don't open to let me view them.  If I click on one it will open and I can then edit it but it will not save an image onto the grid for me to view so it's really frustrating not being able to view all my photos in order to decide what to edit and compare them.
    Here's what action I've taken so far - restarted the computer (endlessly), checked the updates and installed them, checked I have the latest raw plug in (I do) and gone into edit/update thumbnail (doesn't do a thing) - and torn out a fair amount of my hair.  So anyone out there experienced this and can give me some advice? Please?

    If the app is G-Toolkit and you have a Gmail app on your iPhone, delete the Gmail app.  Apparently the G-Tool kit is tied to a Gmail app.  From searching the web my impression is that G-Toolkit is not spyware and is from a legitimate company that produces app for several platforms.

    you could try this:

    there's something called "Airdroid" on the Play store (whatever that is)
    or if your files are on an sd card, you may wish to use an sd card reader. Just plugging it in via USB might possibly work. There's also something called DoubleTwist (basically iTunes for Android, which will allow you to

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem.  Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
