I am unable to install extensions, they show up with "will be installed after you restart Firefox" even after I restart.

Hi,
I am unable to install extensions, they show up with "will be installed after you restart Firefox" even after I restart.
The "Staged" folder is present and remains after a restart, but the extensions do not get installed. They show in the extensions page with the "will be installed after you restart Firefox" message and remain like this no matter how many times I restart.
Any Idea's?
Running Firefox 24.0 on Windows 8.1
Many Thanks,
BD
P.S. Just tried to install the "troubleshooter" add-on before posting the question and I got an error saying it cannot install because it cannot modify the needed file. (I did it manually instead)

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.

    Help!

    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for this information. Can you also tell me whether or not such folders exist here?:
    /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC/Plug-ins/Panels
    I've just tried installing those particular products with that version of Photoshop, and this is where they end up.
    If the folders aren't there, could you please enable logging as follows and send me the log files at fgregor at adobe dot com?
    Create a file called 'ExManCoreLibLog.YES' and place it in the following location:
    /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log/ExManCoreLibLog.YES
    Then create a file named 'ExManLog.YES' and place it at:
    /Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CC/Adobe Extension Manager CC.app/Contents/MacOS/ExManLog.YES
    Both log files are generated and saved in the following location:
    /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log
    Many thanks,

  • I have an iMac that I am running OSX 10.8.3 on.  I keep trying to install 10.8.4 but it will not install.  I tried updating and installing several times and it restarts the computer but it will not install the software.  My machine is about 8 months old.

    Sometimes the App Store version doesn't work correctly. In this case, install 10.8.4 with the Combo version > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    The Combo installer is the safest way to update OS X, and it allows you to update more than one computer with a single download

  • HT1229 How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what.

    How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what. When you have several thousand photos it is difficult to determined what is what.
    Why does iPhoto have the ability to put photos in events and to give them descriptions if it doesn't transfer this info with the photo. I want to back my photos up to an external drive.

    The simplest way to achieve what you want is to back up the iPhoto Library. That will get everything.
    You sem to be exporting from iPhoto to the Finder. The Finder does not have the same organisation capabilities as iPhoto. If you're going to do that you need to understand some of the differences between the two.
    Event Name will become  Folder Name.
    'Description Name' I guess is the Title you give the Photo
    Jpeg Number is the File Name assigned by your camera.
    So: File -> Export
    Set your Kind to Jpeg
    Select your preferred Quality
    Check the Boxes at 'Titles and Descriptions' and Location Information
    Under FIlename select 'Use Title'
    Click on Export. In the Next Window choose a New Folder as your export destination and then Name that as you prefer
    Regards

    No.

  • Why does an installed extension not show up in my PS CC Extensions?

    The Adobe Watercolour Assistant extension show up in my Extension Manager CC as being installed for Photoshop CC.  However the extension does not show up in my Extensions in Photoshop CC.  And it does not appear anywhere in my Adobe Exchange Panel.  When I do a search inside of Adobe Exchange, I get the message, "No products found."  What's going on, and how do I get the extension to show up inside of Photoshop?

    Sounds like some of the templates provided by apple.  Google lorem ipsum for info on the filler text used.

  • I have safari 7.0.2 and OS 10.9.4, everytime I try to install a safari extension such as, Pocket, I get an error message that says, Cannot install extension, I get this with every one of them. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Installed apps not showing. Says 'no apps installed yet' despite installing several.

    I'm using Creative Cloud on Windows 7 but the installed apps area is blank, with the 'you have not installed any applications yet' notification. So far I've installed Photoshop, Illustrator, Muse, Acrobat and Indesign. Because of this I'm not sure if any updates are also available (but not showing) for said apps. The CC icon on my task bar also has a red exclamation mark over it.
    Any suggestions?

  • [Win]: Can't install ExtendScript ToolKit 2 - Problems with an already installed E'Script T'Kit 2?

    Hi
    I have problem to install ExtendScript ToolKit 2. I had installed ExtendScript ToolKit 2 and removed it with the Uninstaller. Now I want to reinstall it but it doesn't work. The setup says there is a conflict with the already installed ExtendScript ToolKit 2, but I have removed it.
    What can I do?
    I have searched in the registry about keys with the ExtendScript ToolKit 2 and removed it, but no success. I have searched in the file system for ExtendScript ToolKit 2 and removed all, no success.
    How can I force the installation?
    Thanks
    Hans

    I have just had exactly the same problem and I ended up telephoning Adobe support - officially free products such as the ExtendScript Toolkit 2 do not get telephone support.
    The person I spoke to at Adobe suggested I run the CS3Clean utility, and that worked for me. See http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402767
    BE SURE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN FULL FIRST
    In my case I only needed to run level 1 in the utility. Bit of a pain though to have to uninstall everything and re-install.

  • After Yosemite install Symantec AV LiveUpdate won't run citing Java RTE not found error even after install of Java 8 Update 25

    I just installed Yosemite.  When I attempted to run Symantec Anti-Virus LiveUpdate (which worked fine under Mavericks) I got an error message stating "LiveUpdate was cancelled because Java Runtime was not found. Please run LiveUpdate once Java has been installed. For your convenience we will try to install Java using Apple Software Update."  Accordingly, I went to the Java website, downloaded and installed Java 8 Update 25.  However, I keep getting the same error message when I attempt to run LiveUpdate.  What must I do to get this AV software to work with Yosemite?

    Get rid of Symantec. You don't need it, or Java for that matter, which comprises a potential vulnerability of its own. Get rid of it too.
    One or more of the following support documents may be applicable:

  • Installed mavericks ok, but iMovie 10 will not install because of video card deficiency.

    I installed mavericks without difficulty on my 2007 iMac.  However I can not install iMovie 10 that comes with Mavericks.  The prompt tell me that my video cards are inadequate.  Can I upgrade the video cards, and if so how costly will it be?
    Denny Bettisworth

    Good news:
    Apple on Wednesday released an update to its consumer-level video editing and management software iMovie for Mac, adding support for machines running legacy video cards.
    Check the App Store again!

  • HT5994 I installed Mavericks and lost all my iWork '08 files. Not really lost but they show up with inverted colours, white text, and impossible to edit. Pages 5 appeared to be a great disaster, and can't even open my old files. I want the old iWork back!

    My music editing program Finale can open files from the 90:s. Pages 5 can't open files I made half a year ago in Pages 08.
    Some difference in knowledge there.
    5 years work is gone, if Apple are inable to fix this. Perheps they are?

    Completion: You can change the word "knowledge" to "craftmanship". "Some difference in craftmanship there."
    I have tried to update my former iWork with updates from the app store. Mavericks refuses to open them. Mavericks tells me "Can't open, because they are from an unknown source". My iMac tells me that Apples app store is an unknown source.
    Just can't believe how Apples software developers could get permission to turn somethiing rally, really good to this really mediocre version pages 5. The opposite to development if you ask me.
    What were they thinking?
    I'm angry.
