My latest two extension updates constantly show up as tabs each time I start FireFox. Where should I look to make this stop?

WebMail and Xmarks have constantly and consistently shown up as update notification tabs each time I start FireFox. That never used to happen. Is there somewhere I can look to shut off this annoying action. Thanks.

Since updating to Firefox 6.0 each time I start Firefox it checks my addons for compatibility. This is annoying. How do I stop this behavior?

Every time I start Firefox 6.0 it runs the addon compatibility check.

Try:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
You can also try to delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache, extensions.rdf) 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, 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 an update.

I would like to disable the firefox software updater request window that pops up each time i restart firefox

I would prefer to not upgrade to FF 30.
However, everytime i open firefox I get a popup from Firefox Software Updater asking if I want to allow the following program to make changes to my computer.
I keep accidently hitting yes, and countless times now have had to revert back as it keeps updating me to FF30
Is there a way to disable Firefox Software Updater altogether? The origin of this updater it says is from my hard drive.
Have already selected NEVER CHECK FOR UPDATES for updates under tools..options, but doesnt seem to matter.
THANKS KINDLY FOR ANY HELP!

Hello junk51374, for your 28.0 use the next code in a user.js file in your profile :
// turn off application updates:
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file
(probably you have it that way in about:config but the important is the user.js file, firefox first read from user.js file)
'''Note that Firefox 28 is no longer secure. If you don't want to use the new design you can revert it'''. see:

I updated Adobe Flash player and now each time I use Firefox for video get a serious error with blue screen of death pointing at device drive ati2dvag - BUT ok in IE 8

See above

I tried updating my ATI driver but I continued to have intermittent problems (system hangs and unexpected reboots) with current versions of Shockwave in Firefox - a right pain in the neck. I noticed that the date changed on the driver ... but not the version ... ??!!
So I am now back where I started (I rolled back the device driver):-
Shockwave Flash 10.1.102.64
ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro, device driver version, 8.401.0.0 dated 27/07/2007.
Haven't the folks at Adobe/Firefox heard of 'backwards compatibility' ?!
It seems I am stuck now ... until a version of Flash comes out which addresses my specific problem ...
Does anybody have a solution ??
MANY THANKS!

In addition to my home page, every time I start Firefox a tab opens with notifacation of an updated addon. Why does this tab continue to appear even though there is no updated version of the addon?

I have a new macbook pro and just installed latest firefox. The problems is i can't seem to disable the tabs from appearing each time i restart firefox. I did uncheck every box in the peferences tab menu, still can't stop the tabs from appearing.

New Macbook pro with lion
Firefox 10.0

Hi dcast01,
Are you saying that it restores your old tabs when you restart? Have you looked at ''Preferences > General'' to see if Firefox is set to restore your tabs from the last session? You should change it to ''When Firefox Starts: Show my home page''.
Or is your issue that you keep seeing the tab that says "welcome to firefox" when you start the browser? If that's the case, you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

Airport Express software update reminder each time at start up

Why do I get Airport Express software update for 5.4.2 reminder each time at start up? I try to update from 5.4.1 by clicking update button, and zoom, the Airport Express screen disappears and no update begins. Your help is appreciated.

I'm not getting an update message, so I can't re-create your view, but this might help.
Open AirPort Utility. On the AirPort Utility menu right next to the Apple icon, select Check for Updates.
Any help?

Just installed latest Itunes, and system now grinds to a halt, caused by apsdaemon.exe and apple mobile using 99% processing. Have stopped these processes, but each time I start Itunes I have to do it all over again, any help would be appreciated

Having just installed the latest iTunes update, I find my system grinds to a complete standstill. I've checked and found two apple processes, apsdaemon.exe and applemobiledeviceservice.exe use 90% plus of my processor, so have stopped these. However, each time I start iTunes the same situation occurs. Is there anyway I can remove these exes from my system or is apple aware of this stupid update and what are they doing about it. Any guidance would be very much appreciated

What version of itunes were you using before you updates?
Have you checked other related post?
iTtune will require applemobiledeviceservices.exe and others to run. What you are experencing is usually caused by a conflict with other software on you system. Everybodys system is set up differently, so there is not a "one fix all". Most commonly associated with Firefox addons, video accelerator software, podcasts on the backup, anivirus software, parential control software, take you pick!
I found my fix here.

I updated to 3.6.15 and every time I open Firefox the Thank You for upgrading window pops up along with my normal homepage. How do I get rid of that?

After updating Firefox, it wants to start in safe mode, when you click reset & restart it starts and runs fine, how do I make it stop opening in safe mode?

I recently updated my Firefox to 3.5.9 for Google pack, after doing so Firefox would only open in safe mode. So I started in safe mode that one time. Everafter, when starting firefox it always opens a dialog window about safe mode, I click the option to reset the toolbars and restart, and it starts normally. I'd like to make it stop opening with this dialog, and just open normally without asking about safe mode.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated Firefox

See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+is+stuck+in+Safe+Mode
Your Firefox 3.5.9 is 2 versions behind. The current version is Firefox 3.5.11 which includes several security updates. In addition, support and updates for the Firefox 3.5.x series is planned to end in August 2010. Consider upgrading to the latest version Firefox 3.6.8:
Download Firefox 3.6.8 here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
See:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox

For some reason every time I start Firefox I get a window to print the current page. Am I the only one this happens to? Is there any way to get rid of it? It just started with the previous update.

When I start Firefox, the standard print window comes up as if I had clicked on print under the file menu. I close the window without problems, and it doesn't show up again until the next time I start Firefox. When I click on print under the file menu, I get the print window without any problems.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Updating Adobe Community Help files fails every time after starting

Hello,
I e.g. go to «Support Center for Photoshop» from the menu within the app. Adobe Community Help starts up and tells me theres new content, do I want to download that. It seems to start the dl just fine, then reports an error «16882» (if I'm remembering it right).
Why? We have very fast very broadband internet connection and I use a 2011 27" iMac with max Gig RAM installed.
Any hints there would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks, Mister Kapoor,
that solved my problem!
All the best to you, sincerely,
Olaf Mueller

Seems Adobe Air or Cummunity help has gone cprrupt. Lets follow the below suggestions:
Step 1: Uninstall adobe air from Utilities and re-install the latest adobe AIR from "http://get.adobe.com/air/otherversions/"
Step 2: Follow "http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/842/cpsid_84215.html" and re-install the Community Help Air application.
Step 3: Restart the machine and launch adobe Community Help and try to install all the updates and check if it works fine.
Hope that Helps!.

When I go to get add-ons (7.0.1), nothing shows up, except the "what are add-ons" info bubble. How do I make this work?. The rest of the functions in that section seem to work. And I can search MY add-ons, but not Available Add-ons.

I installed a security program called Identity Finder whick requires a master password for Firefox on my laptop, which I like. However, even though my settings are to "Show my windows and tabs from last time," I have to manually add each link in a new tab each time. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Pure speculation, but maybe that Identity Finder program is deleting your browsing history which is how Firefox restores tabs and windows from the previous session. Check with technical support for that program or look at the manual.

An extension automatically installs every time i start firefox

An extension from local system automatically installs every time I start Firefox after PC restart. I tried to disable it, remove it, but again after restart, it appears there. My question is how to disable addition of extensions and plugins from local system and how to block an extension. Extension name is Apps Hat 0.93.32 by nero

Thanks @the-edmeister , but your answer not satisfies my question. I also asked about disabling addon installation from local system and block an extension forever in firefox

My latest two extension updates constantly show up as tabs each time I start FireFox. Where should I look to make this stop?
