How do i install adblock plus when add-ons don't load?

i just installed windows on my desktop and i was trying to get all the adons i enjoy in my laptop. the most useful of which is adblock plus. the issue is, whenever i attempt to click "add to firefox" it loads for a second and then gives up. also the addon page within firefox refuses to load (i think it is a related issue). i have searched the firefox help page and all i could find was instructions for mending update glitches.
java is up and running
i uninstalled the ask toolbar
i have not nuked firefox yet and started over

Try this & see if it helps solve your issue.

  • How to install Adblock Plus in Gran Paradiso 3.0.4 [SOLVED]

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install Adblock Plus in the version of Firefox I use which (for some licensing issue) identifies itself as Gran Paradiso 3.0.4.  The Adblock plus version is 0.7.5.5. I've looked at the install.rdf for the xpi and it seems that Adblock Plus will install int Firefox 3.0.* so it seems to be an issue with the name - Gran Paradiso.  Any ideas anyone??
    Thanks

    OK, problem solved.  There was a '.lock' file in the .mozilla directory that semed to be preventing the browser from restarting properly. Once that was deleted everything worked fine.  Also, I just updated to Adblock Plus version 1.0
    Thanks Skottish and ozar!

  • I am trying to instal adblock plus, but whenever i check the ad-on screen it always say s that firefox needs to be restarted, i restart it and it keeps on saying that i tneeds to be restarted whenever i check the ad-on screen

    this has been happening even before i tried installing adblock plus.

    This can happen if one of the files that stores details of installed add-ons is corrupt. Try deleting the files as shown in the corrupt extension files section of the [[unable to install add-ons#Corrupt extension files|unable to install add-ons]] article.

  • After installing AdBlock Plus I can't quit Firefox without force quitting - help!

    I installed Adblock plus and immediately noticed several issues.
    It took forever to bypass the NY Times opening ad and get to the real front page - troublesome, and time-consuming but at least I avoided the ad.
    More importantly, I couldn't quit Firefox without force quitting. If I used Command Q or selected Quit Firefox from the menu, I got the spinning beachball of death.
    When I disabled Adblock, the problem persisted. When I uninstalled Adblock Plus the problem was resolved and I could quit Ff in my usual manner.
    Any solutions here or do I just forget about Adblock Plus - too bad, it seems like a great idea even though it slowed down NYT (it was faster just hitting the skip ad button after I uninstalled Adblock Plus)

    Problem solved.
    Trashed folder for Adblock Plus and reinstalled.
    Disabled Status-4-Evar and Adblock Plus works and I don't have to force quit to get out of Firefox.

    It sounds like maybe you installed a trial at some point in the past and trashed the application folder rather than doing an uninstall?

  • How do I install recommended updates, when I click on adobe flash plugin update now buttons, I hit a dead end on oracle's website, how do I complete the update?

    How do I install recommended updates, when I click on adobe flash plugin update now buttons, I hit a dead end on oracle's website, how do I complete the update?

    First, grab the Adobe uninstaller from here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    Then download Flash 10.3.183.90 from here - about halfway down the page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    (Released 6/11/2013) Flash Player 10.3.183.90 (61.1 MB)
    IMO, the best version of Flash for WinXP. Adobe kept up with security updates for 10.3 for WinXP users long after Flash 11.0 came out in 2011 for Vista and newer versions of Windows.
    Run the uninstaller, then reboot your operating system.
    Then you can run the Flash installer, with Firefox closed, of course.
    ''Note, if you still use IE you'll need to reinstall the ActiveX version of Flash for IE. That uninstaller removes all versions of Flash that might be installed,''

  • 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?

    Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:

    Check and tell if its working.

  • 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/

  • My add-ons act like they're installed, but don't show up. This didn't happen until after I installed FF4, had lots of trouble with it, and had to go back to FF3.5.5. Suddenly my add-ons don't work. How can I fix this?

    I installed FF4 on both my laptop and PC, but I kept getting kicked offline, especially from Facebook. I then uninstalled FF4 and went back to FF3.5.5 (on the PC) and FF 3.6 on the laptop. This solved my connectivity issues, but add-ons are now acting up. No add-ons at all show up on the PC, and only Personas show on the laptop. When I try to install Forecast Fox and Colorful Tabs, I get the "install now" message and the message to restart FF, which I do. When it repaints, the add-ons are just not there. I expect it's something I'm doing wrong, but I don't know what it is. Java is updated. Any pointers? TIA!

    You're welcome

  • When Add-ons download, it slows my laptop down til it is almost unusable. Do I need them and if not, how do I stop them?

    I am not really sure what these Add-ons do and do not know if I need them. When they download (automatically), they slow my laptop down to the point of almost being unusable. If I don't absolutely need them, how do I keep them from automatically downloading and slowing down my computer?

    send an email to the iTS customer service using this form and ask the folks there to help you sort it out.
