Pictures on Firefox add-ons pages will not load in Firefox but will in IE

My operating system is now Windows 7 on a new computer although I use Firefox, not IE to browse the internet. I am having problems on the Firefox website, especially the add-ons pages. If I click on any pictures relating to add-ons I get a blank page but if I switch to IE I can see the pictures. This is frustrating because I did not have this problem on my old, XP operated computer.

Add-Ons Page Does Not Recognize that I Am Using Firefox

I am trying to add the YouTube Search Engine to my search-bar, and when I go to the page to add it, The page gives me an error, "Error - you must be using a Mozilla-based web-browser (such as Firefox) to use this add-on." Really?

Of course, *this* part of the site seems convinced that I'm using Firefox.

This issue can be caused by an extension that <strike>isn't</strike> is preventing this from working properly. ''(sorry for the confusion)''
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

You can set the Boolean pref browser.slowStartup.notificationDisabled to true on the about:config page to disable this notification.

After Firefox 6 upgrade, Add-ons Manager does not load, it just says "loading" forever

nothing to add

Thanks for the suggestions. When you click on Tools and then Add-ons, theAdd-on Manager launches, and by default "Get Add Ons" is selected. Although I was not getting any response other than "Loading", if I then click on Extensions or Appearance or Plugins, I was getting a proper response from those three. After doing that and closing out Add-ons Manager and then relaunching it, my original problem disappeared. Now everything works fine. I tested it multiple times and is still OK. Can't explain it but OK for now. Maybe the Get Add-ons portion of the Web site was down at the times I was testing it? I'll keep a watch on it. Thanks for your speedy reply.

Some webpages, like You Tube, and firefox add-ons pages, do not recognize my firefox version, and require me to update firefox. Why?

Youtube reports that:
Your browser is no longer supported.
Please upgrade to a modern browser.

It looks like you are using an older version that isn't supported by some websites any longer - 2.0.0.11. What version do you think you have installed?

Certain add ons/plug ins not loading. For example, in eBay, mouse over certain items and only blank dialog box pops up, no text within box. What could be causing this?

Appears to be flash or Acrobat issue???

Probably caused by the Google Toolbar extension. Disable it to verify it as the cause.

Whenever I open firefox a add ons screen comes up with the yahoo web page behind it. . I just want the Yahoo web page and do not want to close the add ons page every time I use my computer.

I don't know what else to say about this. It is a screen that comes up in its own window everytime I open Firefox

When I update to the latest version I cannot access the add-ons page or request help because neither page will load. My Weather channel add-on was NOT piced up when updating to the latest version. Why problems with improved latest version?

I have twice downloaded the latest version in the last month. Each time I encountered the same problems. the Weather Channel add-on I have did NOT appear in the latest version. When I tried to access the Add-Ons page under the Tools header it would not load. When I tried to contact Mozilla from the Help header it would not load
When I open a web page from Bookmarks it is painfully slow to load.
This is NOT an improved version. I have been using Firefox for years without problems; I prefer it to Internet Explorer. However the latest 'improved' version may change my mind.

The problem is that the Add-ons Manager tab when opened the first time, is on "Get Add-ons" section and that must be downloaded from the Add-ons server which might be overburdened.
* If you need to look for new Add-ons, go directly to the Add-ons site -> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

The Add-ons Manager will not display!

I've been having an intermittent problem with certain features not displaying at all. First it was that I could not "Customize" my toolbar for quite a while. It finally returned suddenly, in FF v4.01, after being unavailable since v3.5.
I've also been without the Magnifying Glass search icon since v3.5, which is still missing. And the show "Properties" option has also disappeared from the Right-Click Context menu, I don't remember if it started in FF v3.x , but I think it was right after upgrading to v4, and it hasn't returned since either.
Now it's the Add-ons Manager that has quit working. It has happened a few times before, but quitting and restarting Firefox brought it back.
This time, however, it seems to be completely disabled. I had just removed the IE Tab Plus extension, to be sure I hadn't installed it over the original IE Tab, which they said could cause unpredictable issues.
Next I used "Install Extensions" from the File menu of the Add-ons Manager tab, and selected a copy of IE Tab Plus I had saved to disk last October 2010 to re-install it. But nothing seemed to happen. No pop-up, or any indication/notification that an extension was about to be installed - nothing.
So I did a search for IE Tab Plus to acquire the latest version from it's Mozilla Add-ons page, where I noticed a "Comment" claiming the IE Tab Plus author was using it to secretly install Ad-ware, and recommended using IE Tab 2 instead.
I decided to do as suggested, but there is no link on the page to install IE Tab 2 from either. I decided to quit and reload Firefox, yet even in Safe Mode, I still can not get the Add-ons Manager Tab to load.
Note:
I also have Mr. Tech's cool Toolkit extension, which I believe added the "Extension Options" item to the Tools menu, and it is also empty now. It was not empty just before this. In fact it still displayed my extensions list after the Add-ons Manager had already failed to load again at all.

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

This can be a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) 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.

Firefox locks up then crashes when I open the Tools-Add Ons page

Hi - Just updated today with automatic 6.0.1 update and once I did, Firefox killed Adobe Reader. I fixed that but then found that opening the Tools, Add-Ons page locks up Firefox for a few minutes, then crashes it.

Hello Ted.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
As for your problem, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Firefox freezes when I access my add-ons page.

Firefox freezes when I access my add-ons page. I must use Task Manager to unfreeze it. Some add-ons (AdBlock) still work. Others (NetVideoHunter) don't. I would like to remove all the add-ons and start fresh, see if it makes a difference, but when I access my add-ons page to press the "Remove" button, FireFox freezes--so what am I supposed to do? I like Firefox because it's simple and generally glitch-free--until now.

hey furdeal - if you'd like a fresh start, you can simply [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]]. this will keep your bookmarks, passwords & history but will remove all extensions and custom preferences...

Programs hijacking my Firefox add-ons page

I recently updated Flash etc. when asked, but i also installed a Firefox add-on called YouTube Unblocker, which is supposed to (and does!) do what it says.
Now a few saved web pages involved with WordPress tips and my Add-ons Page are hijacked by Yahoo search results.
I've tried setting the default search engine to Google (successful) and doing the about:config change, but this takeover still happens.
I can't uninstall the YouTube thing as my Add-ons page stays for only 2 seconds! CleanMyMac can't do an uninstall as the progarm does not show up.
All ther stored web pages are unaffected.
Can anyone help?

Date and time correct.
Everything was fine until I updated to FF 4.01
See attached images.

After updating Firefox to 5.0.1 the add-ons Manager did not show any of my add-ons, although they were all running.

After updating Firefox to 5.0.1 the add-ons Manager did not show any of my add-ons, although they were all running. Several restarts of Firefox, even with the add-ons disabled did not bring them back. I then installed another add-on and after restarting, all of the previous add-ons are now shown in the manager.
Running on Mac 10.5.8. Add-ons installed:
Adblock Plus, Add-on Compatibility reporter, Ant Video Downloader, Forecastfox, Google toolbar, Reload Every, Session Manager, and Steep and Cheap Watcher.
Note: the troubleshooting information was taken after the problem was fixed. Prior to fixing the issue, there were no items under the Extensions heading. Add-on Compatibility Reporter was the add-on that was added to restore all of the other add-ons, even though it was already installed.

'''Good to know you solved your own problem by simply installing another extension''', I like solutions that aren't going to cause extra work, or loss of data.
Here is what people normally have to do for missing extensions, as if not installed.-- https://support.mozilla.com/questions/826729
:http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions_%28Firefox%29
FWIW, renaming or deleting extensions.sqlite and the other files beginning with "extensions." causes the files to be rebuilt from the extensions directory, so nothing is lost, but they will be restored in alphabetical order.
I've solved places.sqlite problems by simply restoring a bookmarks backup, or creating a bookmarks backup and restoring that rather than face loss of history.
Please mark as solved so others will see your answer when looking for solved problems as solutions to there own or other people's problems.

Firefox keeps opening the Add-ons page

Whenever I launch Firefox or open a new tab, the add-ons page opens. This has been happening since I updated to Firefox 4 a few days ago. I've tried disabling all the add-ons I have but it makes no difference. I've also turned off updates for add-ons, that didn't help either.
I'm running Windows XP.
Thanks.

It's possible that the page is included in the home page setting.
Have a look at the illustration here and compare it with your own configuration:

Unable to access Add-Ons Page after Firefox Security Update.

When I click the add-ons page (after installing the latest Firefox security update) (6.0.1 I think) I get a message that Firefox would show me nifty add-ons IF I WERE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. I am connected. Only Firefox pages won't connect.

Hi
such things are often due to cookies - you can either clear all cookies, or use the filter/search to find 'live' and/or 'hotmail' ones - via Safari-Preferences-Security-Show Cookies.
Then quit safari & check again.
