Opening Add on manager causes FF to become unresponsive, how can I delete add ons now?

On the advice of addon Fox installer I added a few extensions. FF became really slow and I tried to uninstall but every time I tried to open Add-0n manager from tools, FF became unresponsive. So now I can't access my extensions to uninstall. Should I uninstall FF completely and if so how do you do this? Clearly just deleting the application and reinstalling doesn't do it. Thanks!

Firefox 6 can't open add-ons manager to uninstall yahoo toobar which installed by itself.

Yahoo toobar installed itself on my computer and I can't open Add-ons manager to uninstall it. Add-ons manager window just keeps trying to load but won't load.

Open the Firefox Safe Mode and un-install that Yahoo Toolbar extension from there.

I cannot open add ons without an unresponsive script dialogue box appearing which stops the browser running.

I tried to open Add ons from the Tools tab on the main menu. I end up with a script error which appears repeatedly no matter whether I "continue" or "stop script" button.
When I click error console I end up with numerous lines of errors and warnings.
Should I uninstall and re-install to fix this problem?

Thanks for the response. The response you provided appears to only indicate what the cause is. It doesn't help me fix it.
I ended up having to uninstall it, except I had to remove all my personal details stuff too, because having tried to re-install with my preferences on the system just continued the problem. It was a bummer because I lost all my bookmarks.
In fact I'm noticing Mozilla is becoming dysfunctional on all my computers and it's annoying when it crashes as only task manager can close it down. All these problems appeared out of no where in the last few weeks.
Anyway I've had enough. I'm too busy to try and make sense of all the stuff on the help pages. I'm uninstalling for good this time.
Asta la vista.
I've given up on it and bid Mozilla farewell.

I can't open add ons. mac 10.5.8.

This is what I get when I try to uninstall persona add ons. I can't open add ons even in safe boot. This started when I used a Corvette persona.

This issue is caused by an incompatibility of Personas Plus 1.6 with the Google Toolbar.

Hi my MacBook is freezing whenever I try to open an application. I have tried resetting the system management controller, however no success. How can I wipe my hardrive and reinstall it again. PS: I no longer have the installation CDs, can I download it from Apple?

To get replacement installation disks, call Apple. Have the serial number of your MBP ready and a credit card. There is a fee.
Ciao.

Do you have themes installed or only personas?

I try to open I photo and I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

I try to open I photo and I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

When i open firefox amazon appears in the search bar which i can't delete

every time i open firefox amazon appears in the search window and i can't delete it.
why this has happened i don't know but it means ican't use firefiox as my search engine

Use the search bar to select Google as the search engine, it should then be used in all the searches including the location bar and the firefox start page.
* Navigate to the start page by key into the location bar ''about:home'' an hitting the Return key.
Thanks for including your troubleshooting information. You have SearchDial that is probably part of your problem, some users consider that unwanted software or even malware. You also have an Amazon addon installed. There is also a ''user.js'' file likely created by search dial to modify your preferences.
'' Add to Amazon Wish List Button 1.10 ([email protected])
MySearchDial 9.5.5.1 ({ad9a41d2-9a49-4fa6-a79e-71a0785364c8}) ''
First uninstall what you can. <br />
Use the addons page ''about:addons'' to uninstall unwanted addons, then also check your Windows Control Panel and uninstall any unwanted programs. Searching by date will help you find bundled software.
Second scan with multiple and up to date tools <br />
You need multiple tools because each finds some but not all problems.
Thirdly use the Search reset tool & review how Firefox works. <br />
You may also need to check for corrupted shortcuts and ''user.js'' file entries if the above reactions did not deal with them.
Post back to say what you have done and how you got on.

'''General Malware removal advice'''
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]

* '''[http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ AdwCleaner: (for adware)]'''
* [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan Kaspersky Free security scan]
You need to use multiple and up-to-date tools as they will not all pick up the same things.
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good FREE permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article. Note the suggestion to use the Search Reset addon after removing the malware.
Hopefully any malware will be easily detected and removed. I would not suggest you try any manual hacks or edits of the Windows registry. (Once rogue files are removed any residual registry entry will not normally do any harm.)

When i want to return to my home page I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want how can I stop this as i have too many tabs open.

When I want to return to my home page after looking at a website I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want.How can I stop this as I have too many tabs open and have to close all of them.

You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that flush the tab?
Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior.

I do the download for the new version, it goes smooth, and then when I try to open it up, it pops up in my Task Manager for a moment and then disappears. No error messages, just disappears.
hmmmm. can you check something for me? (this might give us a heads up on the nature of the itunes problem.)

(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

How can I delete a file? At the moment I delete each pic and it takes ages! I tried select all and managed to delete all my 2300 photos!! I've got them back but I've also got back 980 which I had already deleted 1 by 1 over the past 6 months! Help!

Please help! How can I delete a file without deleting all my photos? I have just managed to delete all my more than 2000 photographs by choosing' Select all' and then delete. But I thought only 'all' the photographs in the file I had open would be selected! I have got them back, but I've also got back more than 800 others that I'd deleted SINGLY over the last 6 months! HELP!

Put a Photo in the iPhoto Trash.
iPhoto Menu -> Empty Trash
This removes the photo from iPhoto and the Hard Disk (in every version of iPhoto except iPhoto11)
In iPhoto 11 the file goes to the System Trash, you need to empty that too.

New windows don't open on top of each other in Firefox. How can I make that happen?

New windows don't open on top of each other in Firefox. How can I make that happen? That is, every time I open a new window, it won't open on top of the old window, and instead is positioned to the right of it. I'm on a mac. Please help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today

I see. I'm not aware of how to fix this in Firefox. Usually you want to tweak your Winow Manager preferences for opening new windows.
Example: sawfish preferences for Linux.
Since Mac OS X doesn't have any preferences, you have to use Applescript or another technique. I found [http://amitp.blogspot.com/2006/08/mac-os-x-window-management-spooky.html Spooky], maybe there are others. I haven't tried it, but here is the [http://www.doernte.net/spooky.html Spooky Download and Description].

It's almost certainly too late.
