In Firefox 5.0 I cannot view add-ons and can't tell if they're running.
When I click on Tools | Add-ons, Firefox just takes me to the Mozilla Web page for add-ons instead of showing me a list of the add-ons installed on this machine. I can't tell what add-ons are running and which are not. I re-installed Forecastfox, but I still can't see the Forecastfox information icons at the bottom of the browser screen. Adblock Plus is running, but now it has its own place in the Tools menu, separate from other add-ons.
Whew! Thanks. I wasn't expecting the information to be in the browser window. And now that I selected View Add-on Bar I can see the Forecastfox weather info. Thank you again.

not necessarily a problem, just inquiring. husband sends me web pages in a format that I cannot read and he tells me that he saved it as one of the "save page as" options - which I do not have multiple options just the one. there are some options I do not need yet are listed as add-ons. how do I get the add-ons and plug-ins more in sinc and delete those that we do not need. some only allow disabling not removing.
As an addition to this issue, I have noticed that Firefox Mobile has done the same thing to these sites. It causes all the same issues to happen in the same spots. Some feedback on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried setting my homepage to Google and to Bing but Firefox closes as soon as the page loads. Starting it a second time works with no problems.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

You can try to reset Firefox.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
Reset creates a new profile and tries to import some settings from the old profile leaving the old profile intact.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
Also check the settings in your security software.
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

or if it has been updated and called something new, what that is please ? I tried to add on SEOquake thinking that might be it but after installing it, i can't seem to get it to work. Also it looks nothing like the form settings SEO for firefox had, and in the description it said it was an extension so i don't know if it incorporates the original material, and so i don't know if it is the right one. Can someone help me please ?
ive got windows vista by the way
I'm looking for something with the seo for firefox features to analyse basic seo like pagerank and number of backlinks (yahoo page links) so if you could recommend me something with those on if seo for firefox is not available then that would be good, but basically i'd rather just have seo for firefox, thanksSee these: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remarkit-virus-removal/

My add-ons manager can't tell if plug-ins are up to date or let me update them.
I can't work with any of my plugins because the plugin check says the status of all my plugins is "unknown," and offers no action except the "?research" option. I can't uninstall them, either.
I am trying to make google hangouts work with firefox, and I think I need to be able to remove or update old google voice/video plugins to do that. But I can't get at them.Does Google have any "uninstaller" or "updater" for its stuff?
If you don't mind deleting those plugin files by hand, you can get the locations from a different page. Type or paste '''about:plugins''' in the address bar and press Enter. For each plugin file, the physical location should be listed. Note that some folders may be hidden and in order to reach those, you may want to copy as much as possible of the path (not including the final file name) and paste that into Finder to drill down into the hidden folders.
Any luck? -
After update to 10.0.1, Firefox is now slow to check add-ons and sends me to "Hooray! Your Firefox is up to date.", every time. This happens with my PC and Netbook. Please advise.
Hi jeff8478,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps! -

I am not clear what your problem is and importantly whether you are trying to ask for help with Firefox.
If you have a Firefox problem can you explain what you need help with please. If the problem is with a new Windows 8 operating system you will need to find a suitable forum to discuss that.
A websearch will turn up many suitable fora one possibility is
* http://windowssecrets.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/66-Windows-8-Forum
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. (You'll need to be on the latest version of Firefox to submit feedback). Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues. -
I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8? If this is so, I need to find an older flash player plugin to reinstall. I do not want to upgrade from 10.6.8 at this time because I have 18 yrs. worth of financial records on Quicken that I have read will not work with Lion and I've read bad things about running music programs on Maverick.

1) Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) is a full featured app that can be downloaded from Intuit for $15 and will work with your data file if you are using Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 (if you version is earlier, let me know for more instructions on easy conversion):
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
2) Partition your hard drive, or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks there and "dual-boot" to operate your music programs in Snow Leopard and experiment with them in Mavericks.
DO NOT install Mavericks over Snow Leopard! -
I've done 3 uninstalls, 2 of them all the way, one keeping the customizations. I have reinstalled each time. I've updated my plug-ins, restarted in safe mode with everything disabled (including plug-ins and add-ons) and am going nuts trying to figure out why Mozilla keeps crashing. It ALWAYS crashes on the Firefox add-on page, it sometimes crashes on Youtube and Facebook and rarely on google pages. I have ran MalwareBytes, SuperAnti-Spyware, Norton scans and Norton Power Eraser, they all say that I am clean, my computer is clean and the worse thing they can find are cookies.
Please help. Thanks!!Some of the IDs are: bp-4114edef-c971-4186-be78-d7caf2110917, bp-75ebb8f1-eb77-48c5-8459-855d92110917, bp-9058c487-b913-4932-a6f6-4fbb12110917, bp-9e06e3c8-43ec-4f78-ad70-de51c2110917, bp-c5af28a9-ce6c-4ab7-9c66-07d552110917, bp-579cc0c9-d018-4645-9a05-377f32110917.

We use an add-on in one of our online solutions and we've identified a security vulnerability. The issue has been addressed in our latest add-ons and we would like to know how we may blocklist our previous player through a firefox update?
You can file a bug report to do that request.

I cannot view some videos and participate in some websites since Adobe upgraded all to Flash 11.7. I have an older Mac G5 PowerPC (no Intel chip) running OS 10.5.8. I keep getting splash screens saying I have to update to Flash 11.7 but 11.7 is made for those Macs with an Intel chip. I am running the newest Flash for my system. It seems all concerned should have made Flash retro-compatible for those of us with older Macs. Is there a work around to this Flash requirement short of buying a new Mac with the Intel chip?
I'll bet you'll have better luck if you post your question in the Power Mac discussions here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_mac
Either that, or one of the forums at Adobe.
Good luck.

After upgrading firefox it gets hung up on checking for compatibility add-ons and won't run
I still can't find an answer on any of the support forums and no one helped me when I asked yesterday, is there anyone that may have a clue as what I can do to fix this?
I updated my fire fox on my MAC OS X to 3.6.6 version of firefox, everything went smooth till I open FireFox then the window firefox update opens up and about 1/3 through the process it gets stuck on Checking Compatibility of Add-ons and doesn't go any further. I have hit cancel and firefox opens but it doesn't open any web sites. I have removed firefox and re-installed and it is still doing the same thing. I have also let it run over night thinking it may just take a while and it never progresses, please advise, I am new to MAC but FireFox is the only browser on my mac that will open one of my business pages, known issue with mac for this company.

Regarding Firefox 16.0.2. Every time I start up Firefox, especially after a period with my comp in standby mode, I am always asked to install several add-ons and extentions. Always the same ones, and always several. I install them, again and again, yet I am still always prompted to reinstall every time I start Firefox. I've always had this batch installed, but I don't know why it keeps telling me to reinstall them.
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
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.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":

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 check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file.

I want to restore my old version of firefox. I also want to restore my security that was disabled and all my plugin and add ons. How do I return to where I was?
The only fully supported and updated versions of Firefox are 3.6.22 and 6.0.2. All other versions contain security of stability errors that have not and will not be corrected.
'''''"...my security that was disabled..."'''''
Any toolbar that your security application installs into Firefox may have been disabled because the developer has not updated their toolbar.
*The functioning of your security application should not be affected, just the toolbar.
*You can try updating your security product as some security application developers have recently released updates of their products that are Firefox 6 compatible.
*You can visit and/or post on your security application developer's forum to see if they can make suggestions for you or let you know about their plans to update for Firefox 6 compatibility and to confirm that your security application is still fully functional, just the toolbar is disabled.
Firefox has a built-in function that provides one of the major functions of most security application toolbars. '''''Safe Browsing''''', the built-in Firefox component, will warn you when you try to go to a known Malware or Phishing site:

'''''"...all my plugins, add ons, and so forth..."'''''
I can see many plugins that were not disabled; click "More system details" to the right of your original post.
If any extension(s) other than Java Console (see below) were disabled, please reply with a list of the disabled Extensions and/or Plugins (Add-ons > Extensions and Add-ons > Plugins).
'''<u>Java Console</u>'''<br />
Unless you do Java programming/development or debug Java applets on web pages, you do not need Java Console. Java update will install a new Java Console with each update. Removing the Java Console extensions has no effect on the functioning of Java for web browsing. You can see, '''''but not remove''''', the Java Console extensions in Add-ons > Extensions. Java Console extensions can be safely removed '''''manually''''' by following the instructions in this article:
