I want to disable plugins, which i can do through add-ons manager, but every time i restart firefox they are enabled again

When i disable plugins firefox runs faster. I could uninstall the plugins, but i periodically want to use them. I have tried using click to play but i want some plugins to run automatically.
I want to disable selective plugins and have some enabled. When i do this via add-ons manager, all plugins are enable on restarting firefox.

i don't use any cleanup tools & MSE is my security software, which is rather unobtrusive and shouldn't interfere here...
i currently have one blocklisted plugin (see screenshot), but if i remember it correctly the problem was already present in my case before i had the outdated acrobat plugin installed.
sometimes when you enable/disable a plugin in the addons manager & press f5 afterwards, it immediately switches back to its old state/sometimes it will stay on the new state until a restart of the browser & in some cases it will remember the state even across sessions - it's just not working reliably in any way.
as far as i can observe the pluginreg.dat file in my profile folder the change of a plugin's state isn't written to the file as soon as it's toggled in the UI during a session, but only when the browser is getting closed - so the information has to be in the memory somewhere before and might be getting corrupted. i suspect it might be a general bug but i cannot reproduce it reliably .

I want to use the Menu Bar each time. But every time I open Firefox I have to again open options and select Menu Bar. Can I get it to open each time?

Sometimes it will already have the menu bar and sometimes it won't. It does not seem to remember each time that I want to use the Menu Bar.

Hello DRAnderson100, try to delete the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox profile folder] and check it again.

Firefox 6 can't open add-ons manager to uninstall yahoo toobar which installed by itself.

Yahoo toobar installed itself on my computer and I can't open Add-ons manager to uninstall it. Add-ons manager window just keeps trying to load but won't load.

Open the Firefox Safe Mode and un-install that Yahoo Toolbar extension from there.

I was infected by a virus and this changed proxy config to 127.0.0.1:64727, i removed the virus, but every time i start firefox i find the proxy configuration made by the virus.is there any config file i can change ?

I was infected by a virus (i can't remember the virus name). Antivirus removed it, but i think it changed some config file on FF, 'cause every time i try to restart it , i find it configured to use proxy 127.0.0.1:64727. I change every time the config, i also tried to change the config on the about:config and set network.proxy.type 5 , no port and no network proxy (so it's all on default) . I changed the config on the gui, i removed the config from windows registry ( IE and chrome start normally, with no proxy), but every time i restart FF i find the proxy config there. How can i fix it ?

I had the same problem.
Solution
'''Clear Virus First'''
-clear virus using either anti-virus or manually going into task manager and figuring out which processes are bad.
-If the manual way, go through each process in task manager and right click to "open file location". Depending on where it is located and the name of the process, you can google the process name online to see if it is bad.
-Delete the bad process file and as added security, create a folder using the name of the process so the file can't be recreated later. (example: If I had a virus "3dcr.exe" in folder c:\user, then delete "3dcr.exe" and create a new folder c:\user\3dcr.exe\ )
'''Fix Proxy Settings'''
-If your browser points an proxy server and you can't change the settings because every restart of firefox returns the settings back (even after changing in about:config or prefs.js or options>advanced>network>settings). The answer is to uninstall firefox with all its user preferences and the reinstall it.

My recommendation is to download Apple’s Safari version 5.1.7 for Windows to access iCloud.com. It consistently works for me!!!! To make things easier with Safari, I made iCloud.com its Homepage. I’m using it to access iCloud.com from all of my PCs.
On my Windows 7 systems it appears that some add-ons are causing problems when you try to access iCloud.com with the 32-bit version of IE9, but the 64-bit version seems to work fine, more than likely because there are few add-ons that are 64-bit and the 64-bit version of IE9 can't be the default browser in Windows 7.

I updated Firefox. Now, I can't get rid of the blue box saying drag drag the icon to the applications folder. Plus another icon to 'eject' firefox opens. Every time I open firefox, they show up. Even Apple Help could not fix it.

I can close the little blue 'drag' box every time I open Firefox, but that is a hassle, and I know it should not be necessary. When I try to eject the 'peripheral' icon, it says I cannot because Firefox is in use. I have to wait until I close Firefox to be able to eject it off the desktop.

Hi dgbakker-
When you open Firefox and go to the Firefox > About menu, does it say that Firefox is up to date? I've seen at least one other person with this issue, and any more detail would be helpful.

Yes, it has to be formatted as HFS Extended (Journaled). You can do this in Disk Utility.

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).

How can I eliminate the amns.startnow page every time I open firefox/google?

Every time I open Firefox to my Google home page, StartNow is also in the tool bar. How do I stop this?
I might also say that Search| Firefox Help is also there and is redundant when "help" is also in the tool bar above.

I don't want to get rid of a tool bar per se. It's the fact that every time I open Firefox to my Google home page, I get a line-up of three pages: Google, Search|Firefox Help and Start Here under the tool bar that shows File------Help. This doesn't happen with IE. Then when I try to close, I always get the question of whether I want to close three tabs. It's just a nuisance.

23" screen how do I get the pages to stay big enought to see? I use ctrl++ then I restart and they are small again don't want to hit crtl ++ 20x every time

I used some new add on but didn't work... Font only make font bigger word went over picture make it to hard to read. Want entire page bigger.
I bought a new 23" monitor so I could see the print... internet explore pages got bigger no problem but I can not get the ones on firefox (the one I use most of the time) seem smaller then they were on my 19" monitor. I want it to stay big not have to hit ctrl++ 20x for each page Please help me fix this before I have to figure out a different browser

There is an extension called NoSquint that might help.

After I got a 27" screen, I had problems with the interface text being too small as well. That can be fixed with Mozilla applications if you set up a userChrome.css file in the profile inside a subdirectory called chrome. The code I used:
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
*{font-family: Trebuchet MS !important; font-size: 15px !important;}

Why can't i add playlists to my iPhone from my mac while they are connected? I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." This is incredibly frustrating.

I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." when I try to drag and drop a playlist, song, or album to my iPhone. This was NEVER a problem before iTunes match or the last iOS update. So what is the deal? Why can't i just add music to my phone from the mac? There is space on the phone. The only way I have found to get the music i want to the phone is to have it download from the phone. This is not something i want to have to do: go through and manually add every album and recreate a playlist on the phone when its there on the mac. And, even more irritating, since the new update, when the phone is plugged into the mac i can't actually view from the mac what music is on the phone. This is incredibly frustrating and any help would be much appreciated in managing my music libraries for each device.

Hi,
You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

After I installed 4.0.1 I can't install add-ons. I have tried to reinstall firefox but it wont help. What is the problem?

'''My computer:'''
'Mac OS X'
Version 10.5.8
Processor: 2,53 GHz Intel Core Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
When I try to install an add-on, the installation bar won't move, and I can't remove/delete the progress too.

Yep, Firefox see's that website as being a forgery. Chrome and Firefox use the same database for phishing and web forgeries - they jointly developed that system.

I have disabled cookies in Firefox (v12, latest updates) but whenever I restart FF cookies are enabled again. Is this a bug?

I have uninstalled any cookie management extensions that were supposed to manage cookies.
Any ideas?

my user.js only contains these lines:
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 600);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 600000);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 1800000);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 600000);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.ssl", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8);
How can any of this overwrite my cookie settings?

For some reason all of my ad ons and plug ins have to be reinstalled every time I restart firefox. I don't know how or why they keep getting disabled or uninstalled. Help?

My downloaded toolbars and ad ons have to be "reinstalled" every single time I restart. I have no idea why this is happening.

Try reading [[Preferences are not saved|Preferences are not saved]], specifically the "Resetting preferences file" section.

I want to disable plugins, which i can do through add-ons manager, but every time i restart firefox they are enabled again
