My Add-ons window opens but doesn't work properly

This started about a year ago when I had FF 2.0 and I thought it would correct itself when I updated to 3.6 but it didn't.
I have several add-ons that I wanted to remove. When I clicked on Uninstall they stopped functioning and the add-on window said they would be removed when FF restarts, but they don't do that and are still visible after a year or so.
I have no-script and wanted to disable it once to see if it was affecting another program. Clicking on the disable button doesn't do anything so I have to click on Uninstall so it will stop functioning, and then click on disable to enable it again.
If I click onno-script Options, it locks up FF and I have to use the task manager to get out of FF.
Is there a way to put this back in working order?

Thanks. I created a new profile and everything works in that profile.
Now I have to figure out if it's worth all the trouble transferring my bookmarks, themes, and so forth, and also losing my Form autocomplete info, or if I'll just live with it, but it's good to know there's a simple solution.

App Store window opens, but doesn't load content; I need to update some apps

I have a iMac and running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. A few days ago, got notification from the App Store about updates; wasn't able to do them at the time. Since then, I've tried several times opening the App Store; the window opens but with no content; only the top header appears ("Featured" "Top Charts" "Cataegories" "Purchases" and "Updates") ; the "loading" icon just keeps spinning. I deleted the App Store plist and cookies, but that didn't help.

Can't view received Yahoo Mail in FF 18 but works in IE - I have no add-ons no extensions also doesn't work in Safemode

I've tried all the fixes I could find on here and none have worked. I can view emails sent to me in IE but not in FF18. I tried safemode - same issue; I disabled all add-ons, extensions, and appearance - same issue; I restarted computer after each trial - same issue. So any other suggestion?

Add-ons - Check for updates doesn't work

Hi
In FF5 i found that the "Check for Updates" and "Update Add-ons Automatically" does not work for plugins. I notice in FF6 that a link has appeared "Check to see if your plugins are up to date".
However i've now discovered that in FF6, "Check for Updates", "Find Updates" (from the right-click menu of a particular add-on) and "Update Add-ons Automatically" did not work for extensions either.
Please see here for evidence https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/862250
My question is - is Check for Updates / Update Add-ons automatically intended to work for either plugins or extensions. If so, has the bug been reported, if not, why is it there?
thanks ...

That is because the creator hasn't uploaded that new version yet to the Add-ons site and if he has done that then the extension still needs to be approved before updating will work.<br />
Such unapproved extension usually appear first on the versions page (e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/speed-dial/versions/) waiting for review, but that hasn't happened yet if this case.
Plugins always need to be updated manually by visiting the website or via an alert from the plugin (Java and Shockwave do that)

Mail opens but doesn't work

Hi I open mail but i get the spinnig ball and mail doesn't work...
What can I do??
Thanx in advanced!!!
CaBU

CaBU,
Has it ever worked? If so, when did this start?
Hold the Shift key down, while you click on the Mail Icon to launch Mail. This will stop Mail from trying to open any certain mailbox, and if the last one you were viewing has a problem, may let us get to the point of a solution.
More info, please, including whether you have a POP, IMAP or .mac account?

"open with" doesn'y work properly

When I use "Open with" when adding an application using command I and when I check change all the application in the "open with" menu is gone and the setting are back to where I was.
What is wrong?

The whole issue is more than just a wee bit muddled. When you start your computer it is supposed to consult a file present in every application to see what files that application will open. This will be the default. Thus if you add an application Doofus which creates files.dof, LaunchServices will know about it and store that information so all .dof files will sport the Doofus icon (if the developer made one) and open in Doofus when double clicked. Suppose you have some old .doh files which Doofus is also capable of opening, and you don't want to use your old DuhDoh program to work with them, but want to use your Doofus program instead. You do a GetInfo on a .doh file, assign Doofus and click the Change All button. Now files with either the .dof or .doh extension will open in Doofus. All well and good, except there is more than just ONE file that can contain this information. There are the system level files and there are your own personal over-ride files. Any one of them can get funky and start mucking things up.
When you do the GetInfo over-ride this file gets changed:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist"
But default information about file/application associations is also stored in TWO different system level caches:
"/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore"
"/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-014501.csstore"
The numbers at the end will vary, but the second one will include your userid number, in this case it is my primary admin user, 501. If you have other users you'll notice additional cache files.
If you are getting strange results you could try removing all three files, restart your computer, then make some custom changes. With any luck they'll stick.

Schwieder
PS--There is an additional complication in that the Finder can consult not just the extension, but also the creator. Thus selecting any old pdf file and assigning it to open Preview doesn't guarantee that ALL pdf files will open in Preview. If you didn't happen to pick an Adobe pdf, it will still open in Reader. You'll need to select an Adobe Reader pdf and assign it too. Some extensions can have a dizzying array of creator applications (html files for instance). Just keep assigning, eventually you'll get them all.

Windows "Shutdown" function doesn't work properly

My windows shutdown does not respond. I can only shut down through manually pressing the power button or through Log off-change user-windows shutdown-shutdown.
Help pls.

Hi
Its not easy to say why the shutdown function doesnt work properly.
But mostly the wrong or damage registry entries are responsible for such issues.
You can try to use the system restore tool to roll back the OS to the early point.
Additionally you can check the Microsoft document which describes shutdown problems in Windows XP. Its useful. Check it.

Internet connects, but doesn't work properly

I know there are a lot of topics on this, but mine is pretty specific. I'm using a Macbook I bought last August (Model Identifier MacBook4,1) and running OS 10.5.6 (I can't update to 10.5.7 because I`m having trouble connecting. Recently I noticed a bit of lag between the time my computer appeared to connect to networks via built-in aiport (the airport signal would turn dark in the top right hand corner with and show my signal strength) and when the the computer was actually able to transfer data from the internet (i.e. web pages wouldn't load on browsers and other applications faild to load data and stated there was no connection to the interent). It didn't seem to matter much what network I was logging onto (my home network, my school's, or a wifi hotspot. I'm not great with wireless networking, but I've used macs all my life and and know how to use them very well. I could usually fix the problem by quiting all apps and waiting a few minutes or restarting my computer. I recently arrived in Costa Rica to study abroad, and much to my dismay the problem has worsened. There aren't many places to access the interent here, but the school I am studying at and a cafe have wifi. When I try to connect it my computer has three problems. Sometimes it does't recognize the network even when I am right next to the modem where the signal is strongest. When I search for a network enough times it eventually recognizes the network though. Once I find the network when I click to connect it sometimes starts connecting then just stops before connecting. If I click to connect to the network enough times it eventually connects. When I am supposedly connected it my computer can't trasfer data. When I click on Network Diagnostic it at the Network Settings stage a window pops up stating the Network COnfiguration has changed. The internet the works for a minute or two before once again discontinuing the trasfer of data while inciating I am still connected. I have tried restoring network settings to defaults, but this doesn't change anything. Neither network requires a password. Two fellow students with the same model of MacBooks have been able to connect without problems. We've tried looking at all of my settings and haven't been able to figure out what's wrong. I have a nagging suspicion that my airport card may just be shot. I will be here for most of the summer and I'm pretty sure that my waranty expires while I'm here. There is an Apple store in San Jose about 30 minutes from where I'm staying. So my questions are: 1. Does anyone know how to fix my computer, because I would really like to use it to comunicate with my family? and 2. If it is defective can I take it to the Apple store here even though I purchased it in St. Louis, Mo USA (I've found that my battery is defective already though these forums because only one thread had my specific problem with my battery and all the owner's said that you just have to take it to the Apple store and get a new batter)? If I can't take care of the the defect(s) here is there any way to extend my warrenty for a month until I return to the States without paying to extend the warranty 1-3 years (being a student who's already taking out loans to study abroad I don't have much cash on hand nowdays)?

Try connecting to a network with an ethernet cable and see how it performs. If that is also not responding this would indicate a possible software error.
problem with my battery and all the owner's said that you just have to take it to the Apple store and get a new batter)? If I can't take care of the the defect(s) here is there any way to extend my warrenty for a month
Apple does not cover batteries under warranty as batteries do loose their capacity over time. If a battery suddenly stops working then apple may look into that. You would have to speak to apple care about that.
You cannot extend a warranty for 1 month you could purchase apple care and get 2 years of extended warranty. Although if the problem is reported to apple care prior to your warranty expiring then you may be ok, but I stress you would have to talk to apple care directly about this.
Why not take the mac into the apple store I am sure you can make an appointment to see an apple genius anywhere in the world.

V 1.0 Installed but doesn't work properly (crashes or closes)

I successfully installed v 1.0 after uninstalling the beta. I didn't use the beta much so I had no libraries to import.
I imported a folder as a test. The images imported fine. I could go to Slideshow and Library. But when I tried to go to Develop or Print the program would hang with the processor locked at 100%.
This happened several times.
I then rebooted hoping that would help. Unfortunately it's worse. Now I can still only go to Slideshow or Library. BUT, it also closes itself after about 45 seconds of being open.
Also, after coming back from the reboot the shortcut icon on the desktop was missing (don't know if that's connected to the problem).
I'm running XP with 1 Gig of RAM. I also have PSCS2 and PSE3--(my old cataloging software!)
I reviewed any FAQs I could find and didn't see reference to this problem.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Fixed it! Lightroom is NOT compatible with NVidia NView desktop manager.
I don't even know what the desktop manager does! (It came preinstalled on my PC...It didn't have any problem with the betas of Lightroom!) But I had a message from the manager stating that it detected a problem. I turned off the NView desktop and everything works fine now.
Well, except my active desktop that got messed up early in this process. I can live with that problem though...

BPF: Re-open Step doesn't work properly

Hi all,
i have 4 steps in bpf and i have 5 data regions (1000,2000,3000,4000,5000) in all steps. In first step for example when users of 1000,2000 and 3000 complete their area they close and approve them. In second step 1000,2000,3000 areas opened to perform. For example when a user of 1000 does re-open step , in first step instead of just 1000, all data regions 1000,2000 and 3000 turns "reopened".
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

FireFox 3.6.9 Add-ons window not working, add-ons not loading

After upgrade add-ons do not load.
In Add-ons window, no data; all add-ons disappeared;.
Also clicking < Browse all Add-ons > produces nothing, does not link to site.
Navigate toa site to download an add-on: Add-ons window appears but no data or appearance of files or anything. So< Install> button therefore does nothing.

You can delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
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.

Firefox 'opens' but doesn't/won't open an actual browser window?

Firefox Beta 4 has crashed out on me several times, but since the most recent crash Firefox will 'open,' but doesn't actually open a new browser window. Even if I go to the menu and manually select "new window" it doesn't do so. Nor can I submit comments under the "Firefox Makes Me Happy/Sad because..." tabs. It's simply not opening new windows. When I go to the force-quit window, it doesn't show up as hanging, however. Two close outs of Firefox, and two restarts of the computer have not resolved the issue.
Most recent attempt to generate a new browser window generated the following error codes:

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, one of your add-ons is the culprit.
