Lost use of all extensions with update to 3.6.11 ... Add ons window is locked

This morning, FF updated to 3.6.11. When I loaded FF no add ons were visible on the upper or lower tool bars. When I opened the Add Ons window, it locks up and will not allow me to access any options, disable, or uninstall. It also does not allow me to check for updates.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Workaround for using Oracle JDBC extension with WLS pooling

Reading the newsgroup I saw that many of us encountered the problems
with ClassCastException when tried to use Oracle JDBC extension
with WLS pooling. I also had.
In this case BEA recommends to use dangerous
method getVendorConnection() which exposes
the physical connection object to your code.
Yes it's really dangerous because of unsafe usage may breaks
WLS pooled connection(s).
Moreover, this practice will make your JDBC code
unportable (your JDBC code in addition to Oracle dependence
became Weblogic dependent):
void doSmth() {
Connection con = ...;
Connection vCon = ((WLConnection)con).getVendorConnection();
// + mess of usage con in one places and vCon in others
// (where Oracle extensions are needed)
// !Don't forget to don't close vCon!
Sux.
I found the workaround.
Introduction
============
Yes the real cause of ClassCastException is that
in depth of Oracle driver the casting
to class oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection
(not to interface oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection)
is performed.
Someone can say that this is bug or pure desing.
Weblogic pooled connection provide dynamic
implementation for all public interfaces
which real physical (wrapped) connection object implements.
Great feature!
But I guess that all interface methods implemented
by simple call-delegation to physical (wrapped) connection object.
In case of oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection interface
this approach doesn't work for at least one its method:
public OracleConnection unwrap()
WLS pooled connection shoudn't implement this method by
delegation to physical connection object BUT should
return physical connection object itself!
// Wrong implementation of unwrap()
// delegation is used
public OracleConnection unwrap() {
return physicalConnection.unwrap();
// Right implementation of unwrap()
// physical connection returned
public OracleConnection unwrap() {
return physicalConnection;
Workaround
==========
1. Develop your own OracleConnection wrapper class:
import oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection;
import weblogic.jdbc.extensions.WLConnection;
public class MyOracleConnectionImpl implements OracleConnection {
private OracleConnection con;
public MyOracleConnectionImpl(OracleConnection connection)
throws SQLException
this.con = connection;
public OracleConnection unwrap() {
return (OracleConnection)
((WLConnection)con).getVendorConnection();
/* Implement all other methods by delegation to con object */
2. Don't get Connections directly from DataSource --
develop your own simple (may be static) utility
class which retrives Connections from dataSource
and returns them wrapped into your MyOracleConnectionImpl
to your code from some method:
puclic abstract class MyConnectionSource {
public static Connection getConnection() {
Connection con = // get it from DataSource
return new MyOracleConnectionImpl((OracleConnection)con);
3. Add attribute RemoveInfectedConnectionsEnabled="false"
to definition of your JDBCConnectionPool within config.xml
You may do it because of you `safely` use vendorConnection --
you don't expose it to application code.
4. Enjoy the Oracle JDBC extensions in your code!
Example:
Connection con = MyConnectionSource.getConnection;
ArrayDescriptor add =
ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("your_type", con);
Hope it helps to someone.

Eugene Voytitsky

Hello Eugene Voytitsky,
Thanks Eugene Voytitsky for your idea
I have tried the solution suggested by You, but it did not work.
It still throws ClassCastException.
I am sorry for posting the whole code of two classes below.
I did this to give you more clarity.
I am also indicating the place where the exception was thrown..
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

Lost contacts from address book with update

lost contacts from address book with update to OSX 9.3 How do I get them out of cloud back into address book?

When you log into iCloud with your browser, do you see your contacts online?
If yes, go to System Preferences > iCloud > toggle sync contacts on/off.
You might need to run the combo installer.
OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 (Update (Combo)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1746
MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
"Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

I had been using iMessage all along with my friend who is using an iPhone 6. I choose to send a sms to him as I do not have any connection, after that there is no way I can send him an iMessage again. Can anyone advise how do I switch back? I had tried resetting the network setting, toggling off the sms but to no avail.
Thank you.

What do you mean you choose to send him an SMS because you don't have any connection. What kind of connection? Delete the thread with that individual that you sent via SMS, and as long as you have iMessage activated on your device and your friend has an active data connection, it should recognize that and send as an iMessage. Another scenario is to have the friend send you a message that you can respond to.

Why is there no updates to the firefox throttle add-ons ? Is there an alternative? throttle is Bandwidth utilization throttling and monitoring extension for Firefox

Why is there no updates to the firefox throttle add-ons ? Is there an alternative? throttle is Bandwidth utilization throttling and monitoring extension for Firefox

Well, it's probably one of two things: either the awesome dude(tte) who developed this awesome extension was tired of updating or the changes in FFox software architecture carried out between version 3.x and 4+ created challenges that were too difficult for him to surmount or a combination of both. Honestly, I love Mozilla but I think they dropped the ball on the throttle issue. It's such an obvious and necessary function and it's so easy to implement. They should have included it a long time ago as in built feature. And, if you are browsing and looking at this post and you agree. Add a suggestion in mozilla.org. The more of us asking for this function, the better.
Meanwhile, I have the following solution for you:
Solution 0.6.9.23.11 (DIY Version of my Solution ):
Setting Up a Separate Portable Firefox 3.6.x that runs independently of and simultaneously to your latest version of Firefox
Get FireFox Portable 3.6.24:
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36
It's a portable app, meaning that it's got all it's profiles and preference and application files in the same directory. It won't compete with your current installation of Firefox, has it's own separate extension folder etc...
Get Firefox Throttle 1.1.6
http://firefox-throttle.en.softonic.com/ (I couldn't find it in the official mozilla site)
It will be flagged as incompatible with even that old version of firefox (but it isn't). You just need to turn off compatibility checking. You can do that with this extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/?src=search
If you have Bookmarks you want to port to the portable (bad pun intend), backup them up to bookmarks.json file on your desktop and import them to the portable version. You can export/import more stuff using FEBE addon but that's a whole world of headaches if you don't your doing.
Many of your extensions favourites extensions will no longer work on FFox 3.6.x but if, in that same addon's page, you look around until you find a link to previous versions of the addon, you will notice that the compatibility info is right below the version numbers. Just download and install the latest version that is compatible with you 3.6.x....
Voila mon ami! Your FFox 3.6 portable has just become your own private Download Mule whom you can throttle to your hearts content (ever throttle a real Mule??? I wouldn't try it, personally...) Do your regular browsing in another (unthrottled) browser and do your big downloads in the Mule...
If you want to keep using your brand spanking new Firefox for other types of browsing while using this portable Mule edition for the downloads, just add -p -no-remote to the shortcut leading to your Firefox Portable Mule edition.
For example, my taskbar shortcut to my Firefox Portable is:
""C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPortableLegacy36\FirefoxPortable.exe"
I just changed it to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\FirefoxPortableLegacy36\FirefoxPortable.exe" -p -no-remote
This will make it occupy it's own independent instance and I can use the both my Firefox Nightly and the Firefox Portable editions at the same time (each one, using a different profile ie. extensions, cookies, password, cache etc).
If you're on Linux, you can just run this on Wine and set the Windows Version to Windows 2000 in the Wine config,

Solution 0.6.9.23.11 (Non-DIY Version of my Solution):
Download my preconfigured but SWAGGED-THE-HECK-UP PortableFirefox 3.6
Having realized that some of you may find the above to be daunting. I took my own customize firefox portable, took out all my data and compressed the folder (it's portable, so it'll run as soon as you unzip it).
Here is a screenshot:
http://www.mediafire.com/?o95nkwo8y6q535j
Here is the download link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?xdw87ivf3184u2s
Don't forget to modify your Start/Taskbar shortcuts:
"C:\wherever you decide to put it\FirefoxPortableLegacy36-Swagged-UP!\FirefoxPortable.exe"
I just changed it to:
"C:\wherever you decide to put it\FirefoxPortableLegacy36-Swagged-UP!\FirefoxPortable.exe" -p -no-remote

Problems with versioning (F3.6/F4) and add-ons in F4

Recently installed F4b - seemed to be OK. Somewhere along the line it "lost" my add-ons (they're there "somewhere" but not showing up on the various bars - NOT accesible). So I re-installed F3.6...and discovered that with BOTH versions installed when I go to either vesion and button "Help" it tells me I'm running whatever my default is at persent.
i.e. if 3,6 is default both F4b and F3.6 tell me F3.6 is running
if F4b is default then both tell me that F4b is running.
Some crossed wires here somewhere (file sharing problems?)
I've had it with F4b for the present and will be using F3.6 for day-to-day use until someone cleans up the mess (and restores my add-ons).

The Firefox 4 beta versions installed in their own folder, so if you had installed a Firefox 4 beta version then updating that version to a release candidate (RC2) will install in the same directory as that beta version. A fresh install of a release candidate will replace the current default browser (Firefox 3.6.x) if that version is still installed. You can avoid that by doing a custom install of the Firefox 4 RC version. If you keep both versions then you should create a new profile for the Firefox 4 beta version. I would recommend a new profile anyway to get rid of remnants of the previous Firefox versions and have a clean start with Firefox 4.

Yet my browser repeatedly locks up

Sending a solution that I have already tried is of no help, but I tried them all again, reloading works sometimes, I have seen in the past that others have had this problem also, of pages not completely loading. So I don't see how you can say I am the only one. When I first started using Firefox it worked great but now it doesn't, one of the updates caused this problem. I guess it's back to IE as it works fine now.

I also tried the Hard Restart and still has the problem?

Is there any way to disable "Checking Your Add-ons" window that comes when user starts Firefox after update for the first time?

we have over 1500 firefox users and its very confusing to them if after update they start their Firefox and this "Checking Your Add-ons" window comes.
It would be much appreciated if it can somehow skipped this or do it silently.

Unfortunately this link does not help.
We currently have 3.6.x versions of Firefox in most computers, and if i do a silent install via sccm to version 12, then if user starts the new firefox for the first time, it checks addons, like java quick starter and browsing protection (f-secure) etc. Second time when they start firefox, it starts normally.
My question is - is there some way to avoid this first run addon compability checking?
I've tried numerous preferences in mozilla.cfg, nothing helps so far.

Successfully using a Native Extension with Flash CS5.5 Pro, having issues

Hey all,
I'm trying to use a native extension due to an app rejection about the new storage guidelines. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to use a native extension from Flash CS5.5 and the adt command line utility (I've never used before).
Apples storage guidelines in 5.0.1 require files saved to Documents (and other places) to be marked with the icloud "do not back up" bit. I'm trying to use Adobe's IOS 5.0.1 data storage native extension to do that as I have file sharing enabled and my app downloads files I want the user to be able to copy to their desktop.
From the bits and fragments I'm reading all over, getting it to compile means using the command line adt tool (I've never used it before) because Flash Pro CS5.5 doesn't support native extensions. Also, this native extension requires a v14 SWF published (11.1) and CS5.5 only goes up to 10.2 (or higher if you install the players).
I edited the AiriPhone.xml file and pointed it to an AIR 3.1 airglobal.swc and I have AIR 3.1 overlayed in flash. I can't test AIR for iOS anymore after that change but I can get it to compile a SWF. The adt command line adt utility stopped complaining that my SWF version was 13 when it needed 14, so I assume this worked?
I am trying to compile a debug version so I can see trace statements to see if the native extension reports success on changing the bit. Here is my command line cobbled together from scraps of info on adobe.com and the -help data:
adt -package -target ipa-debug -connect 192.168.1.80 -provisioning-profile myApp.mobileprovision -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myApp.p12 myApp.ipa myApp-app.xml myApp.swf dat AppIconsForPublish Default-Landscape.png Default-LandscapeRight.png -extdir extensionDir
Before this iCloud change this app published directly from Flash Pro CS5.5 without any issues. I am only running into issues getting this app to work with this native extension and/or published correctly.
I am including the folders "dat" and "AppIconsForPublish" as well as splash screens (this app is landscape-only) as well as that extension in the folder extensionDir.
After putting in my password my app compiles into an IPA which I can drop into iTunes. It has the same general size as the IPA generated from Flash Pro. The icon is correct, etc.
When I sync this file, the progress bar goes across, I see it loading on my iPad and then once it goes to install I get a popup saying "iTunes Sync: 'myApp' failed to install."
Is there anything obvious wrong with my adt line? Has anyone else used this native extension? Ideas on what I can do to fix this?
No, unfortunately I did not build this with Flash Builder. I am an avid user of it now and this would be a moot point as it uses ANEs and changes SWF versions trivially. I have to get this to compile using Flash Pro CS5.5 though.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
edit:
Just FWIW, after I updated the .xml to use the latest AIR and such (so the version is 14) I removed the extension, exported purely from Flash Pro CS5.5 and the app works fine. As soon as I enable the <extension> in the XML I can no longer install the app. This just appears to be a noob adt publish issue.

My app downloads PDFs, movies and other information-esque files and saves them to the apps Documents folder so they can be retrieved via file sharing. These files not being in something purgable like /Library/Caches and not having the "do not back up" bit is why I was rejected.
update: It's definitely my command line building.. I took out the native extension completely and published from flash to an IPA and it works. I then run adt on the same SWF that just worked and it fails to install. So the install failing is my command line. I see this article and my command line is very similar. I'm really uncertain why it's failing.

I used up all minutes with a monthly subscription ...

My question is if there is a way to continue calling WITHOUT using skype credit after using up all minutes of subscriptions. Is there any?
Here's my situation:
I purchased a monthly subscription and the service started 3/11/15. I used up all the 400 minutes on 4/2/15. With an intension of starting a NEW subscription that would start 4/2, I first cancelled the existing subscription (that started on 3/11/15 and was scheduled to renew on 4/11/15) and received an email confirmation for that. Then, I got a new subscription (for the same country and for the same duration which is one month as the initial one) and confirmed that it was charged on my paypal account. I also received an email notification for the subscription delivery. It said the transaction date was 4/3/15. So I thought I could start calling on 4/3.
Today is 4/3 and I still can't call. I checked my account, and to my surprise, it has been updated to show that my initial subscription is back!? That is the one that starts on the 11th of the month, and the current remaining minutes shows as 0 (zero.) It tells me that I will be able to start calling on 4/11. It appears that my attempt to cancel one subscription and get a new one (with a new start date) did not work since the initial one appears to keep coming back.
Isn't it possible to cancel an existing subscription completely and sign up a new one with a new start date? I'm trying not to purchase skype credit together with subscriptions.
Thanks

1. If I cancel my existing 400 minutes to Japan landline subscription today 4/3, and sign up for a new one for 120 minutes today 4/3, when will I be able to start using the new subscription? Is it alomost "instant?"
2. how will I get the refund for the initial subscription? Will it be refunded automatically, or do I have to go through special procedure for refund request?
3. what time zone am I supposed to use when you say "your minutes will be added on April 12th 2015." What time of what time zone on 4/12/15?
Hello
1. You don't have to cancel your existing 400 minutes Subscription unless you want to. You can have both. Yes - the new one will be activated within 1 to 2 hours of purchase.
2. Subscriptions aren't refundable. If you wish to stop the recurring payments you should cancel the Subscription at your account page. Cancellation will be effective on your current billing period renewal date.
3. One minute after midnight UTC/GMT.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Problem with update SCCM client to Sp1 CU3 on Windows 2008 server

Hi all,
I have problem with update SCCM client on Windows 2008 Server to 2012 Sp1 CU3. I have sent to deployment package with update (SP1 Cumulative Update 3 - server update) on four servers and after few minutes I have got in Monitoring\Deployment details four
this same errors in "Asset Details":
USER Message ID
Status type Description
NT\AUTHORITY\SYSTEM 1006
Error 3003
I love that types of error... which is har to find answer on google :-( I have tried but I haven't find any constructive :-( Did you met with something similar? Which log I should check (sorry - I'm still noob in SCCM2012) to update actual SCCM Client SP1
(5.00.7804.1000) to SP1 CU3 (5.00.7804.1400)?
Thank you.

I see in fodler with CU3 updates, are four packages:
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - x64 client update
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - x86 client update
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - server update
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - console update
It will be stupid but... maybe I should deploy x64 client update package?

After updating firefox the first window after opening first time "checking compatibility of add-ons" window is froze won't progress pas 1/3 of completion

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.

Try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window - See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

Ads keep popping up, saying I have an extension called 'None Extension'. I looked for it in add-ons under extensions and plug-ins but I didn't find it.

I looked for an add-on I supposedly have on Firefox called 'None Extension' with no luck. Ad's continue popping up all the time, saying they're powered by this extension. Google won't show me anything about it either and I didn't find it under extensions or plug-ins in add-ons but I didn't find it. What should I do?

I closed then reopened my navigation toolbar using the Alt button. When it re-opened the add-ons(?) that were on it were no longer there. I'm specifically looking for two add-ons that took me to "Major Television channels" and "Minor television channels".

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.
