Parental control add-ons won't work on android

according to my android phone i have tried to download multiple, parental-control add-ons but they all tell me it is not compatible with Firefox 34.0.1
what can I do? I tried updating firefox but they keep telling me it's up to date.

Extensions at addons.mozilla.org that are made for Android Firefox are in https://addons.mozilla.org/android/
The extensions for desktop Firefox on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux are listed in https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ . Though if you look at Version Information at bottom of a extension page it may list Android Firefox as compatible also if the author has done so.
You can change section on top where it says "Other Applications".

How can I download Firefox 4? (my add-ons won't work with later versions!)

The newer versions of Firefox aren't supported by the U-Promise turbo-bar. I shop with U-Promise a lot, so i really need this!
I also want to be certain that it will work with Webroot Internet Security Suite.
I am using Windows 7 on this laptop.
Thank you.

If you just need an older version for a shopping site then consider using [http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36 firefox portable 3.6]
I am guessing major security suites will maintain compatibility with current Firefox versions, but any ancillary toolbars etc may not work. I know Kasperski and Norton have just updated to be compatible with Firefox 6.
It appears Webroot's SpySweeper does work, or has been implicated in Firefox problems see [[Warning Unresponsive script]] and a quick [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/search?q=webroot search] of the forum lists many posts & seems to suggests Webroot is not working with Firefox.

Adobe Flash Player has Disappeared from my FF Add-ons & won't reinstall

Adobe Flash Player has Disappeared from my FF (version 4.0.1) Add-ons & won't reinstall. The Adobe Test page says that I've successfully installed the latest version (10.3.181.34) of Flash Player but after trying this 4 times, Flash just refuses to show up in my add-ons/plug-ins and now some websites are not working correctly. (Using a Win7 Home, 64-bit, SP 1 desktop.)

Because the are different products and load/use/display different types of files. You either have both installed because you have used websites that need one or the other, or you don't. Don't worry about why they are named the way they are named, that is Adobe's decision. Just accept the facts and go on with your life.

After upgrading to 20.0.1 cannot open a new window (CTRL+N) and no add-ons seem to work (apart from adblock plus).

Unable to open new window (but able to open new tabs).
Sometimes unable to open Add-ons tab.
The add-on extensions do not seem to be working, even though they seem to be ENABLED (except adblock plus).
When restarting in safe mode, or disabling ALL add-ons the browser works normally, thus new windows open, add-on tab opens etc.
Tried to enable one thing at a time, but it seems that when enabling WHICHEVER TWO add-ons, firefox starts acting "weirdly" (no new windows etc.).
Tried disabling hardware acceleration, but it didn't solve the problem.
Tried uninstalling firefox and then reinstalling. At first it all seemed working perfectly well: new windows opened, extensions working etc. But after a couple of restarts (of firefox and computer) it all got back to the same situation.
Tried uninstalling ALL add-ons and everything worked well. After installing the SECOND add-on and restarting firefox things get "wrong" again.
It all started after upgrading to Firefox 20.0.1.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

My add-ons aren't working after I updated Firefox

I updated FF a week ago and my add-ons haven't worked since. They aren't in the browser, but they are in the list on the add-ons in the tool bar. When I try to click on 'Options' on one of the add-ons, it just freezes and doesn't do anything. I end up having to use the Task Manager to close FF. I also clicked the 'Find Updates' button on the Add-On thing, but there weren't any updates.
The only thing I noticed that are missing are my add-ons on the browser. Not my history, bookmarks, or anything else.
The most noticeable changes are my Session Manager and AdBlockPlus. I can't get to my previously saved session and that's a big bother. Watching ads on YouTube isn't very fun either.
I tried to do what's here https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable%20to%20install%20add-ons#w_corrupt-extension-files and delete extensions.ini, extensions.cache, and extensions.rdf
but there isn't the file extensions.ini for some reason..
None of the add-ons are disabled, and I tried to disable all of them and try them one by one, but it didn't work at all. I disabled all of them, then tried AdBlock Plus and it didn't work, so I don't think one of my other add-ons are causing the problem.

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
#From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:
[[Disable or remove Add-ons]]

"Tools Add-ons" no longer works. I was running 16.0.2, I have just now been upgraded to 17.0 for some reason.

(This is a repost of my question. I reposted as all the formatting was lost and now it's a mangled mess that is hard to read.)
I opened "Help > About Firefox" to check which version I was running.
It said 16.0.2 and "You are currently on the release update channel."
Then while I was watching it upgraded to 17.0.
1. Now "Tools > Add-ons" no longer works.
2. I thought 17.0 was a beta. If so why did it download it when I'm on the '''release''' channel?
3. when I go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/ and click the big green "Firefox Free Download" button it downloads this 16.0.2 version:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/download.html?product=firefox-16.0.2&os=win&lang=en-US
which again implies that I should be on 16.0.2, not 17.0
Thanks!

Tab Mix Plus 0.4.0.3 is the culprit

Parental controls - allow google does not work

I have set up a user account for my 11-year old son, with parental controls enabled, specifically blocking websites with adult content.
Unfortunately, it blocks just about everything, including netflix, facebook and google, so I manually allow these exceptions.
But it does not work. It still blocks Google, allows Facebook login screen but jumbles up the page when you log in, and will not allow videos from netflix.
I can't believe Apple would produce such an inflexible bunch of crap purporting to be Parental Controls, so what is wrong here?

Are you logging into the client using an account from the directory, or using an account on the client system itself?
The client account has priority over the directory account.
For example, if you have an account 'fabian' on the client and an account with the same name 'fabian' on the server (with parental controls enabled), then the client account is the one that will be used and the parental controls won't be used.
You'd need to use different account names (or remove the accounts off the client system) to force users to login with the directory account.

READABILITY crashes Firefox. Just installed READABILITY on Firefox. It broke my plugin to WQXR, and Firefox won't re-start without a reboot everytime. ADD-ONS won't display. How can I correct this.

I installed READABILITY from its website onto a perfect functioning copy of FIREFOX (latest edition). Although the install seemed fine, READABILITY doesn't appear on the FIREFOX menu, and my plug-in connections (e.g., to WQXR-FM) no longer function.
Further, if you quit FIREFOX and try to re-start, FIREFOX won't restart unless you reboot the computer.
I tried to uninstall READABILITY, but the ADD-ONS menu won't appear.
How can I uninstall READABILITY?

HI Noah:
Thanks for your answer. I'm working my way through the blog, and trying to take all of the steps. Hitman Pro did find 5 trojans, and many remnants of other malware, so hopefully that will help. I'll post again when I've finished trying everything else.
I had already run Malware Bytes, It did not find/remove the sweetim toolbar, but found a different trojan. Something is up with my antivirus I think.

My add-ons are not working

My add-ons appear in Tools Add-Ons. They are all enabled. But they are not working, including Greasemonkey. Then, Firefox does not respond and hangs.
What the heck is going on with this new version of Firefox? It is one problem after another. There may be more problems that I have not yet discovered. Is it possible to revert to the old version?

The current version of Greasemonkey is compatible with Firefox 29. Could you check to make sure it is not turned off? There should be a "monkey" icon on the toolbar. Clicking that icon turns Greasemonkey on and off; the "off" state is designated by a faded icon, while the "on" state has a full-colored icon.
More generally, could you check for possible extension updates and disable unimportant extensions in case one of those conflicts with Firefox?
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, look for the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
I also suggest disabling any extensions you won't be using for the next 24 hours so that you can test whether that improves Firefox's functioning.
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.
Any difference?
One possible reason for hangs, especially where you eventually get a dialog indicating that a script is running slowly, is Flash. To minimize sites from using Flash unnecessarily, try setting Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate"). This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it.
On the Add-ons page, in the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
Any noticeable difference?

Will not open link in new tabs, some of my add ons are not working properly

I am using Firefox 3.6.6
My add ons, such as Gmail Notifier and Forecast Fox are not showing up on the bottom, but they are all enabled and updated. Also, when right click and select Open Link in New Tab, it opens an Untitled tab.

Every time Firefox opened
== I'm not sure when

Why don't the parental controls on the mac pro work? I have the settings correct.

Why don't the parental controls work on the mac pro?

I am set as the administrator able to make changes and one day my daughter was set as the administrator. I did not make the change.
How old is your daughter?
Is it possible she has seen you type your password, and given herself admin rights? Or used your user_id when you stepped away from the computer?
If so, you will need to do one or more of:
a) change your password. This leaves you open to having her watch and take the new password. You can also "require password after nnn minutes of screensaver" in System Preferences > Security
b) add a new Admin with a new password. use it ONLY for Administration. Log in to it and demote your own Account to a non-Admin. Then go back to your own account, which cannot be used to add privileges. When you want to install something, you will type the Admin username and password.
c) have a deeply serious discussion about building TRUST and giving her increasing responsibilities toward becoming a free-standing responsible adult.

Firefox 4.0 displays an error code when launching: "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined", add-ons doesn't work and I can't open any web pages

Hello
I've been running Firefox 3.6.16 with no problems at all, and this morning decided to upgrade to Firefox 4.0, as the developer of the them I use, Foxscape, has upgraded it to work with 4.0. The installation appeared to be as normal, but when I launched 4.0, the following error message appeared: error "when launching firefox 4.0 TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined". The browser launched, but while I could go to webpages if they were in my bookmarks, so no problems with my internet connection, but when I typed in a URL (for example google.co.uk) and pressed "go", nothing happened. Similarly, when I tried to go to add-ons, it was as if I hadn't clicked anything. I wondered whether it was an issue with Foxscape (although I've never had any problems before when upgrading, as the standard theme just appears) so I reverted to 3.6.16, switched the theme to standard, then tried upgrading to 4.0 again. The same thing happened, so I'm positive it's got nothing to do with Foxscape.
I run Windows Vista Home Edition on a Dell Inspiron. I also have IE 9 installed (I installed it a few weeks ago, and it's been running fine with 3.6.16). I've never had any problems with Firefox before; I'm very keen to upgrade to 4.0, and would appreciate your help in fixing this.
Thanks

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Parental Controls doesn't seem to work as desired

I've read many threads on this topic, but no solutions that work for me yet. I've setup time limits for both kid's accounts. Initially, I thought they were working. However, after each account "timed out", and I allowed additional time using my admin ID (even 15 minutes extra), the time limits no longer seem to work, at least the bedtime login limits. At first, using exact same settings on each account, and AFTER bedtime, the first account that I had allowed extra time for (2 days ago!) allowed login after bedtime.
Next, I tried this on the second account, allowing only 15 minutes extra time. Now my son can login to that account after bedtime. Looks like I can't trust the bedtime controls.
I've disabled parental controls shut down, used command option PR to clear memory, still same problem
Has anyone been successful using parental controls, or do I just stop trusting it?!?

My daughter's time limits were restricted to 30 min per day only, however she found out that rebooting the Mac, 2 or 3 minutes before her time expired, allowed her to start again with a new 30 min session again... over and over.
Time limits file gets corrupted more often than expected, so I solved my issue with the time limits by recreating the file, as follows:
a) Login with your credentials, assuming your accounts has Full Admin rights.
b) Launch a 'Terminal' session. Mine was located at Finder -> Applications ->Utilities -> Terminal
c) Login as root using your credentials with the following command:
Last login: Tue Mar 23 21:20:02 on console
imac-3155:~ myadminuser$ sudo su -
Password:
imac-3155:~ root#
d) Now, as root, go to the following directory:
imac-3155:~ root# cd /Library/Managed Preferences/mydaughtersname/
imac-3155:mydaughtersname root# ls -al
total 80
drwxr-xr-x 10 root admin    340 May 18 20:49 .
drwxr-xr-x   3 root admin    102 May 18 20:45 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root admin     86 May 18 20:45 com.apple.applicationaccess.new.plist
-rw-r--r--   1 root admin     81 May 18 20:45 com.apple.dashboard.plist
-rw-r--r--   1 root admin   1598 May 18 20:45 com.apple.familycontrols.contentfilter.plist
-rw-r--r--    1 root admin      398 May 18 20:45 com.apple.familycontrols.timelimits.plist
-rw-r--r--   1 root admin     80 May 18 20:45 com.apple.familycontrols.logging.plist
-rw-r--r--   1 root admin    226 May 18 20:45 com.apple.iChatAgent.plist
-rw-r--r--   1 root admin     75 May 18 20:45 com.apple.mcxprinting.plist
-rw-r--r--   1 root admin     97 May 18 20:45 com.apple.systempreferences.plist
-rw-r--r--   1 root admin 11821 May 18 20:45 complete.plist
e) Delete the file containing time limits config
mac-3155:Managed Preferences root# rm com.apple.familycontrols.timelimits.plist
f) Logout from Terminal
g) Logout from your account
h) Now my daughter was able to log back in and the 30 minutes Time Limit was Up and running working as expected, regardless how many times she tried to reboot the Mac...
I hope it helps to those out there.

Why don't add-ons upgrade to work on the latest version of Firefox?

Having all these add-ons doesn't make much sense if you keep getting a "not compatible with latest Firefox version. Yea sure I bought a s4 to run the older versions. Firefox seems to have alittle google mindset about themselves. Without the add-ons Firefox is just another search engine. Please make everything compatible.

Add-ons are upgraded by the creator. It's their responsibility to keep their app/add-on up to date and working with the current Firefox browser.

Parental controls in iTunes don't work for TV Shows?

Using parental controls - i can hide/block Movies & explict music content - but doesn't appear to work for TV Shows marked "Caution" - any ideas?
Help would be appreciated.
thanks

I raised this in another thread ages ago - indeed it seems you can only include TV Shows marked caution, rather than exclude them.
Not much you can do other than raise feedback
