Is there a possiblity that the add-ons i find on firefox's website contain viruses(Steal personal information etc)?Are all of them safe?
Is it true that some add-ons might not be safe?
No, they are all inspected for viruses, keyloggers, etc.

I downloaded the update and suddenly i can't work with my keyboard anymore.
Sanjay
thank you for the response.
I couldn't log-in with my keyboard anymore, only with my on-screen keyboard.
I went this morning to my hardware supplier. He removed the battery and removed all electricity out of the laptop.
afterwards i could start up normally.
My excuses for the inconvenience -
I have twice downloaded the latest version in the last month. Each time I encountered the same problems. the Weather Channel add-on I have did NOT appear in the latest version. When I tried to access the Add-Ons page under the Tools header it would not load. When I tried to contact Mozilla from the Help header it would not load
When I open a web page from Bookmarks it is painfully slow to load.
This is NOT an improved version. I have been using Firefox for years without problems; I prefer it to Internet Explorer. However the latest 'improved' version may change my mind.The problem is that the Add-ons Manager tab when opened the first time, is on "Get Add-ons" section and that must be downloaded from the Add-ons server which might be overburdened.
* If you need to look for new Add-ons, go directly to the Add-ons site -> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Template:clearCookiesCache/ Clear Cookies & Cache]
* [[Add-ons are disabled after updating Firefox#w_check-for-new-versions-of-your-add-ons|Check for New versions of your Add-ons]]
Check and tell if its working.
Not related to your problem but some of your Plugins are out-dated
* Update All your Firefox Plugins -> [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/]

Add ons donot work with firefox 23.0.1
I recently updated to firefox 23.0.1 and noticed that none of the addons work...
Like add block plus, is installed, but wont run on startup..
everytime i have to disable it and eneble it to make it run.. others dont evn work this way...I feel for u mate...
It was driving me nuts that the add ons do not work...
I have atleast 5-6 add ons without which i cant really surf the net as i wish i can..
Hope ur problem gets solved soon....
P.S
I didnt want to do this so cant say for sure if this will work, but try uninstalling and then reinstalling firefox to see if the problem is solved... -
I would be content just to have the add-ons back, the one that allowed me to view ABC, NBC, CBS and a handful of other channels, and the one that connected me to the National Geographic channel and I believe some of the Discovery, etc channels . I can get to the Nat Geo if I go through my history but most of the other channels I can't. I've had MozFire on my computer for a while but mainly used Google Chrome until last week when I decided to check out MozFire. As has happened in the past I found myself really liking this program and wondering why I haven't been using it all along.

It seems my machine does not like your ver4 and 3.6.16. I want the ver prior to 3.6.16. . Since the last 2 updates have not been able to use FF to browse or play Webkinz. It is way too slow. Following the install of 3.6.16 the Colorfultabs is not working and I can't fix it or adjust it because the Add-ons list/page freezes. I have removed/disabled several add-ons and extensions and nothing seems to help. If it were not for IE I would not be able to use my machine. I have 2.5 GB of memory and 30 percent plus of free space on my hard drive. I use Windows XP SP3 if that makes a difference. I don't think I need a lot of add-ons but need to know what I can remove. The feature to open FF without any add-ons is gone for some reason. Please give me back my simple smooth operating FF. Thank you.
I had all the dot nets in add/remove but discovered they were not installed. Got all up to date. Puter is 2005, I have all that U listed except Win7. I just don't know if I need that or not. Did U say that I need more than the 2.5 GB
memory that I have? Please tell me why Win7 is better than WinXP.
FF is running much better now but Webkinz accounts are still loading slower than in IE. I am wondering if maybe I should totally remove all of FF including customizations and personal info and start over fresh with a clean install of ver 4. I am still using ver 3.6.16. Is it possible that this is reason for Webkinz (a flash, java and Unity game) not loading good? Also, are there some of the Plug-ins that I can remove? What Audio players do I need? I have wmp, real player, aol media playback, realarcade, realjukebox, also is Zylom usable? Thank you so much for your help. -
I suddenly have a "Bing" screen when I sign onto Firefox---and I want to get rid of it. The support section of Firefox says
1. "From the menu at the top of the Firefox window, seledt Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item."---but I see no "menu item" nor Tools, much less Add-ons.
2. "In the Add-ons window, click on the Extensions panel."---but how do I find the Add-ons window?
3. Find the Bing Bar and Search Helper Extension in the list and click Disable for each of them."---but what and where exactly is that?
At the top of the screen is only a Yahoo icon on the left and to the right of it a search box, "Web Search,", "My Apps," Yellow Pages," "Weather," "Updates," and "Skype." to the right of those there is a green cross saying "Add more apps. to your toolbar" and to the right of that a sort of gear shift looking icon saying "toobar settings."
So, in short, how do I get rid of the Bing screen and how do I access those Tools?
Thanks.To get rid of Bing Search Window..............
Click on View tab / Tools and un-check 'Search' (alias for 'Bing') -
I've lost the icons associated with my bookmarks. I've tried restarting my Mac, reinstalling Safari, and the add-ons suggested in other forums without any success. Is there a way to fix this issue?
Hi rmmilleriii,
You should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/latest-firefox-issues#os=mac&browser=fx9 this article] that discusses some of the issues with the latest build of Firefox.
There is some information in there that should help you to resolve your issue. Luckily, it is a very easy fix.
Hopefully this helps! -
When I open the add-ons screen, I get a faded out message that Trend-Micro NSC Firefox extension is incompatible with Firefox 4. Below it is another faded out message that Trend-micro toolbar is incompatible with Firefox 4.
Do these messages mean that I'm not getting the Trend-Micro protection, or that I just can't open Trend-micro from within Firefox 4?
I've been using Trend-micro for a long time, and I really like it.No that's wrong, the update for the trend micro toolbar will be issued the second week of JUNE 2011. How do I know this?

Says so there. Want more info?

Error: "There was an error downloading (add-on name here)" from the Add-ons Manager tab.
Been trying to install Add-ons but I keep getting that error message, even on the Add-ons website still cant install nothing not even update my currently existing add-ons. Already tried on 3 systems and still the same problem, 2 of them with freshly installed Firefox 12, no previous version installed on the system. Any suggestions or updates soon about this issue?
It also happened with Firefox 11 when the update to Firefox 12 was available.what kind of network are you on - is it a corporate environment where the download & installation of extension files could be prohibited? you can also try installing an addon with your security software totally disabled once...

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.
