Hi,
I have re installed IE11 several times via tools advanced etc.
Which tools did you used to install Internet Explorer 11? How did you enable it?
Please check your operation:
Manage add-ons in Internet Explorer

If you could, please upload your "Manage Add-ons" window screenshot like below:

When I open a new window, none of the UI changes I make regarding add-ons are there.

When I open a new window, none of the UI changes I make regarding add-ons are there. They all disappear from all new windows and cannot be re-added unless I restart my computer, where I can put the elements on ONE window again. This has happened consistantly with every ui modifying element from all of my addons. Please help as I need these elements on every new window and hate tabs.

If you haven't done that yet then create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

My firefox version is 3.6.12, however I cannot download any add-ons cause it says I am still using version 2, and it is the same for website such as youtube where it is always saying I am using a outdated browser. How do I solve this?

I keep updating my firefox whenever it prompts me to, and now I am using version 3.6.12, but I still cannot download any add-ons or have problem using youtube cause they still says I am using a older version of the browser.
But when I go Help > About Mozilla Firefox, I am sure I have the latest version and no more updates can be found.

You have or had an extension installed (MegaUpload toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.12 to Firefox/2.0.0.13
You can check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page:
* general.useragent.extra.firefox Firefox/2.0.0.13 MEGAUPLOAD 1.0
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website. 
Filter: general.useragent 
If general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.

"Checking Compatability of Add-ons" Update window at each startup & redirects to a welcome page. Tried disabling all add-ons & updates / force compatability checker. Thoughts?

Each time I start Firefox a "Checking Compatibility of Add-ons" update window appears, which redirects me to a welcome to Firefox 5.0 page with my normal home page in another tab. I tried disabling all add-ons and updates as well as the force compatibility checker. I think my AVG safe-search bar might be causing the problem, but I have it disabled and never use it. Please help me get rid of this.

Why, after disabling all add-ons to correct a problem with Norton, am I unable to re-install Adobe Acrobat 10.0.0.396, even though all 7 applications in the "Containing Folder" are enabled?

mynortonaccount.com web page began coming up whenever I would go on line. Norton email support gave me steps to follow using my Firefox browser, in the safe mode, to disable all add-ons and reset user preferences to Firefox defaults.
Since then, although trying about 15 times, I have been unable to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 10.0.0.396 so that it functions.
From the "Re-initializing the plugins database" article, and progressing to the "Open Containing Folder," but unable to select File and Exit menu, I did locate "Adobe Acrobat" version 10.0.0.396
which showed all seven applications "enabled." This problem is with Firefox only. Internet Explorer functions normally.

If you want adobe acrobat pdf files to open in firefox you need an acrobat plugin, have you checked that is installed and enabled.

HP Network checker with trademark symbol is enabled but unavailable in add-ons.

Hp Pavilion with Windows 7(64bit) updated to IE11 (64bit and 32bit). Why is HP Network checker with the trademark symbol enabled but listed as unavailable in manage add-ons. There is another one without the trademark listed under HP that is enabled and available? I'm asking because the HP Network Checker (cannot show this webpage) is bleeding in or only half way showing/covering part of the webpage I am on..example ehow webpage. This just started, I think I'm on the 64bit now, if I go to Help, About Internet Explorer it doesn't say if I am using 64bit (anymore).
This question was solved.

I have upgraded to version 8.0, and now every time firefox loads, it asks me to re-enable all of my add-ons. Why is this happening?

Once enabled, the add-ons load every time I run firefox, however when I reboot my system I am required to re-nable the add-ons again. I have read through a lot of your faq's and not found this issue raised anywhere.
The rest of my system remains relatively unchanged from before. (ie. I don't recall making changes to anything else that might affect the add-ons)

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.

New files will be created when required.

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 a compatibility update available.

I cannot open my mail in hotmail. I cleared my cache and cookies, I reinstalled firefox, I tried disabling all add-ons and plug ins...nothing works. I don't understand, yesterday it worked just fine. Any help?

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

I cannot shut off checking my add-ons or welcome dialogue every time I bring up FF 4. How can I shut this nonsense off???

I cannot think of a way to be more specific..................Every time I bring up FF 4, I get the dialogue that FF is checking my add-ons for compatibility and then brings up the "step 1 and step 2" get acquainted bit. As a long time FF use, I do not need this every stinking time I bring up the browse.

just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
gud luck

Firefox will not load pretty much all pages. Also I cannot get any add-ons. I made sure my firewall lets Firefox in. I just loaded it back on this computer, everything was fine before, now its crap.

So I was running Firefox before. and my girlfriend told me to try google chrome out. So after about a month of trying it out, I prefered Firefox, so I loaded it back on, and now I can't open any pages or get access to the add-ons. I liked firefox before but I'm thinkging that its too much of a hastle to have to do this. But if it's fixable please tell me.21q

A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

I cannot open emails in Hotmail even though I have disabled all add-ons and plugins.

As of this morning, I cannot open any emails in Hotmail or open any folders therin. I have disabled all of my plugins and add-ons which has made no difference. To the best of my knowledge, no updates have been made to Firefox on my PC since yesterday.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(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")
(2) Remove your live.com cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these:
* While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

I asked this Q Aug 20; confirmed account. Firefox crashed again at 8:44 pm: Using Firefox 6. 0 None of crash articles apply. Disabled Java add-ons as I'm using Windows 2000 and all updates are for XP. Adobe no longer supports Windows 2000.

The crash happens when I close Firefox. There is no dump report so I can't give a Crash ID.
Firefox started crashing after I upgraded to 6.0 so I wonder if I should go back to the earlier version.
Thank you.

I've dropped my guard before with the security and I had so much trouble with my computer because of all the people trying to attack my computer I just can't take the chance again. www.MySafetyGates.com
