How do you navigate to add ons manager?

I added an add-on but I no longer want it.

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
#From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:
[[Disable or remove Add-ons]]
[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]

    </blockquote>
    Solved it shortly afterwards thanks as I realised it must have happened when I refreshed Firefox, so went through the process again and found the boxes for tabs already pre-ticked so cancelled them. Would have been a lot easier though had it been left as an option to tick as I assumed it was another safeguard leaving me with no idea what had happened....
    Anyway thanks :-)

  • How do I stop Firefox from launching Add-ons manager?

    I do not like having extra tabs open and add ons manager keeps opening automatically. How can I stop this?

    Firefox 8 i am on and its doing the same,very annoying,ill be going back to previous version...
    do you guys at Firefox ever check your update's on any of your own computers before you release them?
    might be a good idea,its the same with kylo,updates come screw everything up when they were working fine...im am a house builder,if i built houses with this many errors i'd be bankrupt by now....

    How do I maintain my add-ons if I deside to quit cc-cloud membership and try to manage with my old DW4-version?

    You don't. Extensions are always version specific and DW4 could not support them in the first place because back then many things liek jQuery, HTML5 or CSS 2.1 didn't even exist or were in their infancy.

  • After automaticly updated to the version 7 the extensions page in the Add-ons Manager went blank and give this sentence "you don't have any add-ons of this type installed" but all the add-ons still working in the program

    All the add-ons I had installed for the version 3+++ still working at the version 7, but the problem is that the extensions page in the add-ons manager is blank except a sentence that says "You don't have any add-ons of this type installed"

  • How to hide (not disable) one or multiple extension(s) in Add-ons Manager?

    I have installed Play Music 1.6 on my computer. However, this extension shows up in the Add-ons Manager of my computer. I don't want anyone to be able to see the description nor disable this extension. My nephews use my computer frequently and I want to make sure they are not going to inappropriate websites.

    Note that you still see the extension on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page and that starting in Safe mode will disable it like all other extensions (i.e. starting with Shift pressed is sufficient).

    You can look in Firefox Button > Add-ons

  • "Get add-ons" page on "add-ons manager" in russian instead of english.What to do?

    "Get add-ons" page on "add-ons manager" in russian instead of english. How can i change that specific page back to English.

    In case it's a weird glitch with obsolete cached files or broken cookies, you could open the Add-ons site directly and do the usual:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • How do I restore the add-ons that I downloaded and installed?

    I thought I wanted to be a Firefox 4 beta tester. I downloaded the program and proceeded to install. During the installation, a message popped up and said these add-ons were not supported. I think it disabled either some or all of the add-ons. It continued with the installation. I don't know if this is related or not but I use Google Chrome while using Facebook to play some game applications. Every time that I have used Chrome today, I get "page unresponsive" message with the option to kill the page or wait for it to become responsive. That message is followed by "the following plug-in is unresponsive": shockwave flash player would you like to stop it? Well, if you click "yes" you can't play, if you click "no" it eventually crashes anyway. I finally uninstalled Firefox 4 beta. When I went back into Firefox 3.6, I noticed that the Zynga toolbar that I downloaded to use with my Facebook game applications is gone. Like I said I don't know if the one problem is related to the other but I wasn't having any issues with Google Chrome until I downloaded and installed Firefox 4 beta. I need to know how to restore to those add-ons that I downloaded and installed prior to downloading the Firefox 4 beta program.

    See [[Profiles]] and [[Managing profiles]]

  • Since installing Firefox 4 Beta 5, the Add-Ons manager is empty. My add-ons still appear to be installed and working, but I can't install more, or uninstall, or configure them.

    My add-ons still appear to be installed and working, but I can't install more, or uninstall, or configure them.

    Try forcing Firefox to rebuild the list of installed add-ons.
    # Open the profile folder, for details of how to access it see the [[profiles]] article.
    # Close Firefox, then delete extensions.sqlite (you can also delete extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.rdf if they exist)
    When you restart Firefox the list of installed add-ons should be rebuilt.
    If that did not work, you may have an add-on that is causing the problem, try the options in the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.
    If you type '''about:addons''' into the location bar does that bring up the list of add-ons? I have seen a blank add-ons list if Mr Tech Toolkit add-on is installed, accessing the add-ons manager by typing about:addons in the location bar is a workaround with that add-on installed. The author of that add-on is working on an update.

  • "Add-ons Manager" automatically launches on start up

    Every time I open FireFox i get a tab for "Add-ons Manager" in addition to a tab for my home page. How can I suppress the undesired launch of "Add-ons Manager"? It is kind of a nuisance.
    Thanks,
    joe

    One possibility is that about:addons got added to your home page as a second "home tab" somehow. You can review your home page setting and look for that tacked on after a vertical bar (|). This article describe that in more detail: [[How to set the home page]].

  • The Add-ons Manager will not display!

    I've been having an intermittent problem with certain features not displaying at all. First it was that I could not "Customize" my toolbar for quite a while. It finally returned suddenly, in FF v4.01, after being unavailable since v3.5.
    I've also been without the Magnifying Glass search icon since v3.5, which is still missing. And the show "Properties" option has also disappeared from the Right-Click Context menu, I don't remember if it started in FF v3.x , but I think it was right after upgrading to v4, and it hasn't returned since either.
    Now it's the Add-ons Manager that has quit working. It has happened a few times before, but quitting and restarting Firefox brought it back.
    This time, however, it seems to be completely disabled. I had just removed the IE Tab Plus extension, to be sure I hadn't installed it over the original IE Tab, which they said could cause unpredictable issues.
    Next I used "Install Extensions" from the File menu of the Add-ons Manager tab, and selected a copy of IE Tab Plus I had saved to disk last October 2010 to re-install it. But nothing seemed to happen. No pop-up, or any indication/notification that an extension was about to be installed - nothing.
    So I did a search for IE Tab Plus to acquire the latest version from it's Mozilla Add-ons page, where I noticed a "Comment" claiming the IE Tab Plus author was using it to secretly install Ad-ware, and recommended using IE Tab 2 instead.
    I decided to do as suggested, but there is no link on the page to install IE Tab 2 from either. I decided to quit and reload Firefox, yet even in Safe Mode, I still can not get the Add-ons Manager Tab to load.
    Note:
    I also have Mr. Tech's cool Toolkit extension, which I believe added the "Extension Options" item to the Tools menu, and it is also empty now. It was not empty just before this. In fact it still displayed my extensions list after the Add-ons Manager had already failed to load again at all.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    This can be a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    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 an update.

  • Why does add-ons Manager create a new tab every time I go to home page?

    When I start Firefox my home page tab shows up along with an add-ons Manager tab and a plus sign for new tab. Every time I go to a web site and then return to my home page ANOTHER add-ons Manager tab shows up. This apparently will go on forever. I have had as many as 20 add-ons Manager tabs showing. The only way to eliminate them is to stop Firefox and then restart. Then it starts all over again. What is causing this?
    I'm running the latest version of Firefox and Windows 8.1 on a Dell Inspiron with 8G's of memory and a 1T hard drive.
    Please help.

    Can you post back here a screenshot from this issue?

  • Firefox 10 Add-Ons Manager does not open in a tab

    In later versions of Firefox 9 and now Firefox 10, the "Add-Ons Manager" refuses to open in a tab. Instead, it opens as a window with no border that will not move and cannot be moved or closed except by closing it from the Start Bar at the bottom of the screen.
    This occurs on 2 separate PCs, one running Vista, one running XP.
    I know it should open as a Tab, but I see no way to do this.
    Do I need to change some setting to get it to open properly?
    Thanks,
    Ken West

    updates 9 and 10 have caused me problems as well with add ons and the extra tab appearing welcoming me to firefox.
    With update 10 all my add ons disappeared.. upon going to tools /add ons I found half my add ons were incompatable and the others were closed! I just opened them again and all was fine. Luckily the add ons I use often were still compatable.
    The other option is to just add them again if they are compatible.. if not you can get around it by googling and comming up with a solution there somewhere.. One I use a lot is download helper and I had to do this about 3 versions ago to get it running.
    There could be a solution in Help/trouble shooting and looking at extensions.. your add ons should be listed there and all be True..
    If not you will most probably have to open Containing folder in top block and do something there.. Not sure what but will leave it up to the experts..
    Seriously it would most probably be quicker to reinstal you add ons.
