Javascript error message: Error: TypeError: netscape.security. PrivilegeManager is undefined.

Support for enablePrivilege has been removed in Firefox (Bug 546848),
so it is no longer possible to get special elevated privileges by using this method.
If a web page (or local html page) is using this then they will have to use
other ways get what they want like providing a Firefox extension.
Where is it possible to find an exension of this kind (if it exists)?

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    I got rid of it using these steps :
    1. In the Firefox dropdown list, select Add-Ons

    Deleted AVG Toolbar. No more error message!

  • How do I correct this? Error: TypeError: netscape.security.PrivilegeManager is undefined

    Every time I log on to the internet this come up: Error: TypeError: netscape.security.PrivilegeManager is undefined. How can I get rid of it? Thanks

    hello larry806, this error is most likely caused by an outdated extension - to check that, please launch firefox in safe mode once & see if you can replicate this error message then? if not, please try disabling your addons until you find the right one & keep it disabled in case there is no update available for it...

  • When opening firefox a box pops up: [JAva.script Error:] "TypeError: netscape.security.PrivilegeManager is undefined"

    Using windows 7 home premium svc pack 1 64 bit. After my last windows update the above question pops up when first starting firefox. I can close the error msg box and it seems everything works okay. It's annoying but my big concern is security. Any suggestions?
    Thank you

    One possibility is that a website is trying to use this method to gain additional privileges. Another possibility is that one of your add-ons is doing it.
    The next time you shut down Firefox, try starting it up in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key while double-clicking the Firefox shortcut.
    A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    If you still get the message, it probably is generated by one of the pages you are opening. If you do NOT get the message, it probably was generated by one of your extensions.
    In case your extensions might need an update to stop using old, obsolete features, you can try on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, on the right side above the list, look for the "gear" button and try "Check for Updates".

  • Get error "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" and can't load web pages. Problem with Firefox 5?

    I tried repeatedly to load Firefox 5. The Error "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" keeps coming up. The browser loads but any URL I enter doesn't load. Sites activated by buttons do load. Internet Explorer works.

    07-05-11 When I turned on my laptop (Vista) this morning, I got a Start in Safe Mode and Repair message so I did. It suggested a System Restore, I hit OK. When it started like normal, I waited a few minutes then TRIED to launch Firefox 5.0 but kept getting a Mozilla Crash Report dialogue. So I instead opened Firefox 4.0b12 --error free-- so I could get here to get help. When I tried the Run... firefox.exe -profilemanager step, I get the subject error. When I try to open FF 5.0 in Safe Mode by holding down the shift key simultaneously, I get the subject error and no launch (though no Crash box either). I will try to let the FF 5.0 Updater run when it appears again but it never lets me choose when to Ask Again so I don't think it'll show again until tomorrow. Sigh. Oh, and like someone at a different version of this error blog re WinVista 32bit, now I'm getting the issue of Enter not executing the URL typed in the address bar; I had to click the arrow.
    I hope the Update is to fix this problem.

  • Javascript errors in Netscape style sheet

    Hi,
    How can I remove Javascript errors in Firefox? There are
    several distinct kinds:
    Error: Unknown property 'x-text-underline'. Declaration
    dropped.

    (lc.css is the name of our style sheet.) This is not the
    complete list. The ehlpdhtm.js file has been checked into Baggage.
    I think the problem exists with the Netscape Style Sheet that
    RoboHelp generates at compile time. Is there an updated version
    available?
    -- David

    When RH generates the webhelp output it uses your css file
    and creates a variant of it for Netscape. It writes into that what
    it needs to so as to make your output look as close as it can in
    Mozilla browsers as it does in IE.
    It follows that there is no update version because the file
    is unique to every project and is based on the stylesheet used.
    This sounds very much like the style sheet you have for IE
    (lc.css) contains some "errors" that IE will tolerate but Netscape
    will not.
    First of all, take a copy of your project and play around
    with the copy until you get things right.
    Select all the topics listed in the Topic tab and apply one
    of the supplied style sheets. The topics will look rubbish but that
    does not matter here. Generate a new output and see if you get the
    errors. If you do not, it confirms what I have outlined.
    Then you just need to track it down.
    Open the lc_ns.css file and look at those line numbers for
    the clue.

  • Each time I start Firefox 4.0b3 (or a new window) I get a Javascript error: TypeError: eSettings is undefined

    Since I started using 4.0b1 I have had this issue. On starting, and on opening a new window, an error box appears with the above message. Clicking OK removes the box and Firefox starts/opens window normally.

  • Suddenly every time I try to open firefox, I get this error: TypeError: Components.classes[cid_siterank] is undefined

    it will load after I x it out, but when I open hotmail, it loads, and reloads, and acts as though it has a virus. in the address bar a message keeps flashing saying something about javascript. I've tried everything.

    cor-el is correct. I confirmed this myself. Has nothing to do with Add-ons. It happened on a brand new laptop with no add-ons installed.
    It is a bug that needs to be squashed ASAP.

  • Since update to 14.0.1 javascript error has appeared (this.transforms is undefined - 3-4 errors a second)

    Our corporations phone system has a web interface that since the 14.0.1 update no longer works. I have tried to open it in safe-mode with no extensions enabled and making sure cache was cleared. In the error logs I see "this.transforms is undefined" and it repeats 3-4 times a second no matter how long the page is open. Many pages in the web interface have tabs and if I select a different tab the background changes but not the fields within it and all submit buttons are ignored.
    This works in other browsers and works in older firefox versions so our temp quick fix was to tell staff to use Chrome until we have a chance to roll back on Firefox although we are unsure if Firefox will simply update again.

    Interface is used all the time by any of our 400+ staff that wish to use their office desktop phones (it shows who's calling, pops up contact info, how call is routed to them etc.) And thus why I needed a quick fix and fast. I don't understand how this is a vendor issue as it works in other browsers and in older versions of Firefox. I rolled us back to version 12 and all is good but it now repeatedly tries to force an update. I'm staying away from 13 as it has issues with our Google Apps accounts.
    I tried the firefox beta version and it fails in that version as well so version 14 and 15 of Firefox are a no go with our corporation.
    Whether I use version 12 or another browser there are no errors when use debugging extensions, only if I use Firefox and the error is looping and never ends (between 3 and 4 errors appears in the log every second and never stop regardless how long I stay on the page. The error in Firefox remains even if opened in safe mode with no extensions/add-ons.
    This isn't on one system so I know it's not just a single computer. We provide Chrome and Firefox on all our systems so users are told to use Chrome or roll back to version 12 of Firefox (we don't manage our clients computers only our staff but our phone system is a multi-vendor phone system so we use one system for us and our clients).

  • Receiving this error "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" when opening Firefox 4. Never received this prior to upgrading to version 4.

    Also receiving this error when logging on to some websites. Able to close the error screen and continue but it is aggravating.

    That indicates that you are using an add-on that is not compatible with Firefox 4. For details of how to troubleshoot this to find out what one is causing the problem see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • Add on needed for work, produces javascript error

    My girlfriend is using an app she needs for work. It should generate a javascript window, but before it opens it it says Javascript Application TypeError: netscape.security.PrivilegeManager is undefined
    Then the window that opens doesn't allow me to populate the fields in it.
    Is there any way to get around this?

    Support for enablePrivilege has been removed in Firefox (Bug 546848), so it is no longer possible to get special elevated privileges via the netscape.security.PrivilegeManager interface.
    Extensions do not need to use this (they already run code with proper privileges) and if web page use this then they will have to use other ways get what they want like providing a Firefox extension.
