Problem loading the Add-ons and other personalization pages

Whenever I try to bring up Firefox's "Add-ons" or "Personas" webpage I keep getting this error message: "The connection was interrupted" "The connection to addons.mozilla.org was interrupted while the page was loading." I am running the lastest version of Firefox. Anyone having this problem?
== URL of affected sites ==
http://addons.mozilla.org

The result I received from using the first url was:
"The connection was reset. The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."
The result I received using the second url the page loading, but without any formatting or background, it just didn't load correctly. When I refreshed the url to see if that would correct the page I received the same error message listed above.

  • Why I had no problems with the VZW employees and other people have?

    I think that most people who cannot resolve problems with the VZW have an attitude problem.
    Wise saying:  you can get more with honey than with vinegar.
    Since I “upgraded” my old Samsung Sway to a new Samsung Intensity III, in the past three weeks I spent many hours dealing with the VZW store employees, customer service reps, and tech support people. The phone was replaced two times, and I had no problem getting the replacements.
    The third phone did not working how I expected.
    Today I called VZW customer service and said I don’t need anymore trouble shooting and I wanted find a resolution, which will be satisfactory to both of us. After a short conversation with a customer service rep, I was connected with a tech support. I told him that I don’t need any more trouble shooting on the Samsung Intensity III because I already spent HOURS doing that on three devices.
    We spoke about what the VZW could offer me, about replacements with different phones, etc. Our conversation ended with me offering the resolution that could satisfy me, which was to keep this phone and my account will be credited for the $30.00 “upgrade” fee and I will buy Samsung Sway on eBay. NO PROBLEM. 
    My account was credited and I was advise about the ESN number and activation.
    Why I had no problems with the VZW employees and other people have? The answer is simple. I did not have attitude when I was spoke to them.
    So if you want the problem to be resolved, put your anger in you pocket before you start the conversation. You can say that you are angry, frustrated, etc like I did, but add that you understand that this is not their fault that the manufactures makes a crap phones.

    Yes, you are right. I lost my upgrade. Also, it’s true that I could buy the phone on eBay… if I knew then what I know now. In the past, I never had problem with any of my phones. Doing an upgrade with the VZW was a normal thing for me. I didn’t expect that Samsung Intensity III would be a junk phone.  My last upgrade was 4 years ago. I had $50.00 ‘new every two’ credit on my account, which was used for an upgrade.  I lost the $50.00 credit paying for Samsung Intensity III. Sometimes we learn from our mistakes or from a bad experience. Three weeks ago I did not know that I could buy a phone on eBay and activate with VZW without paying $30.00.
    Samsung Sway is coming from …eBay – keep your fingers crossed for me.

  • How do I stop new tabs from opening with Bing (i've check the add-ons and extenstions)

    My homepage works fine, but when I open a new tab, that page opens to a Bing search page. I've gone to tools>add-ons> and searched both add-ons and extensions... there nothing listed there that refers to Bing.
    Once the tab opens, i can hit my home button which takes me to my home page, but that step is annoying.

    Have u installed any new programs lately... when I do I breeze through installation but they always try to get you to install bing or ask.com as your homepage.. Anyway u can email me if u have not figured it out yet and maybe I could help. Jc

  • Firefox keeps wanting to start in Safe Mode and it says I can make some changes permanent such as "Disable all add-ons" and others. When I select one of the options I can then "Make Changes and Restart".

    When I make my selection it can then proceed to use Firefox. However the next time I open Firefox I get the same problem.
    I'm using Windows 7. I have used Firefox for many years with Windows XP and never had this problem. Is there a solution?

    See [[Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode]]
    "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.
    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, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button (in Firefox 4: right-click the extension -> "Find Updates") to do a compatibility check.

  • Firefox 5 hangs after new install at Checking the Add Ons and will not start even after reboot

    Downloaded V5, ran the install, started Firefox and first screen is 'Checking Add Ons', the status bar is shown and immediately hangs. Have tried to restart, have rebooted and start and Firefox will not come up. Have to drop back to V3.6

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    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.

  • I updated Fox fire and I have lost the add on auto dial .. I have tried to redown load the add on and it does not appear on my menu bar..

    I had the add on auto dial then there was a Firefox upgrade and auto dial disappeared from my menu bar. I have tired to redown load auto dial. It says that it will be added when I restart Firefox. I restart in auto dial does not reappear.

    It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.

  • Everytime I open Firefox - it takes a really long time and reopens the Firefox Update tab that says "Choose your Persona" and "More ways to Personalize" tab along with my regular home page tab. Sometimes it tries to load the add ons too and takes a reall

    Every time I open Firefox it tries to install the same updates (that I don't want) and the Firefox 3.6 "Choose Your Persona" etc. tab opens along with my home page tab. It takes a really long time to get onto Firefox because of these problems.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Don't remember

    Well, this worked on my desktop! But my problem is on my laptop. :-) I'm running XP, but there was no "Username" under Documents and Settings under the C drive. I did a search for those file names and it wasn't there. I found Mozilla Firefox folder under: C\Documents and Settings\ All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox. There are 2 - 1 is Mozilla Firefox (shortcut) and the other is Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). I did a Mozilla Firefox search and this is all that showed up.
    When I click on the shortcut link (the 1st one), it opens up 2 screens of Firefox. One is the "this is embarrassing" screen. The other is "Choose your Persona" screen. I closed it and reopened and it took me to my home page.

  • I set a log-in for the add-ons and never recieved an email, and now I cannot use that email to make a log-in. Can you delete it so I can retry?

    My email I use is <![email protected],--> ..... <sub>(edited out ~J99)</sub> but I did not receive an email to register it. this one is an old one I plan to get rid of. Are you able to delete my account attempt so I can try again with mynew email?

    Hi Sarah,
    I have edited out the email address. That is not shown in your profile and so possibly you do not intend it to be displayed in a public and web searched forum.
    * ''sarahtracey87 '' [/user/1030266]
    You will be able to change your email address yourself in your profile settings use this link whilst you are logged in
    *[/users/edit]
    The settings include a tick box for
    ''Make my email public: [ ]''
    Does that solve your problem ?
    Personally I have not yet tried the new registration workflow but as it is now based on Persona it may not send you an email from support.mozilla.org

  • I added a toolbar and it shows in the add ons and is enabled but i can't get it to show up on firefox. Any help?

    I installed a toolbar. Restarted firefox and it wasn't there. I don't know why it's not showing up or what i have to do to get it too.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == since the first time i ever used firefox.

    Do you see that toolbar in View > Toolbars ?

  • Updated to the new firefox 4.0. completely screwed up comp. Had to pay to have an old firefox reinstalled, trying to uninstall extensions and add ons but am unable to do it from the add ons and extension screen. need help

    I keep selecting the uninstall button on the screen but the restart firefox now button only comes up every once in awhile. I've restarted firefox several times but the addons and extensions are still there with the options of disabling or uninstalling available for selection. All extensions and addons worked just fine before upgrading to 4.0. Am really frustrated and disappointed with Mozilla Firefox because of this situation.

  • Trouble w/Norton Identity Safe and Registration and Log In to Firefox Add-ons and Firefox Help pages

    I don't understand it, but now it let me login that time to give more details. So, I don't know...this is very confusing to get an updated Version (8) and not have Norton Identity Safe. I've rebooted, run the Norton Live Update several times.
    Then, the Firefox Help wouldn't let me log in to the page, said I already existed, but wouldn't let me have access to the page. Then, once I asked the question, it recognizes me. Very confusing stuff.
    Could not sign in to the Firefox Add-on page, either.

  • Firefox asks me to update to 5.0, but I have rolled back to 4 because Google Toolbar and McAffee, among others are not updated for 5.0. When will the add-ons be updated?

    The update for 5.0 came so quickly, that a very large number of the add-ons and extensions I use to keep it safe and operate the way I am used to are not working, the MOST important of these being Google Toolbar and McAfee site advisor. I am already using Chrome for work due to the known issues FireFox has with the Google Toolbar in 4.0, and although I am a HUGE fan of Firefox, this latest update that seems rushed just to meet a deadline set may be the straw the broke the Firefox's back!! Let me know what I can expect going forward

    '''The Google Toolbar is no longer supported by Google in Firefox 5 and up''', you may be able to get what you want from it for a limited time, the directions to install the Google Toolbar were posted before Google actually announced dropping support.
    *Enable Google Toolbar in Firefox 5<br>http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/06/enable-google-toolbar-in-firefox-5.html
    *the-edmeister posted a brief evaluation of the situation<br>https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/841736
    Since you are or were working on Google Chrome, you already have a good idea of how you can use your browser without the Google Toolbar.
    In any case you can find several alternative solutions, and you can start working on them now, see

  • Flash update messed up FF Add-ons and the Open New Tab button.

    FF told me that I needed to update Flash, so I said OK. Whereupon all of my FF Add-ons disappeared. Seems that FF needed to check with the mother ship to find out if everything were compatible with this new Flash update--but the mother ship was not available (this has happened several times).
    Why didn't FF check on the compatibility issues BEFORE getting the Flash update?!
    I will remove Flash (did this in the past, and the lost functionalities were no big deal). I will also change the settings on FF so that the program won't do this again. (I periodically go see about FF updates myself and try to sit on FF while the updates are being done.)
    BTW ... I had FF set to NO DOWNLOAD/UPDATE anything until/unless I have the OK. The past few weeks, I've gotten constant notes from FF telling me to get FF6.0. I was almost ready--but not quite ready--and yesterday FF updated itself. NO OK from me.
    As I type this, I've finally gotten all of my FF Add-ons and other mods back. And it looks like my bookmark tabs are all squared-away again, too. (The AddNewTab button completely disappeared.)
    So, this is no longer a question for you that could use an answer. Instead, I'd like you to pass my frustrations along to the development crew. I HATE the uncertainty/instability of my Firefox Add-ons and Stylish mods. (I'd rather just skip them.)
    I understand that the Add-ons are not the work of Mozilla (not like the browser program itself, anyway) and that the job of getting everything to work together must be insanely difficult. So I'm not wanting to complain about the compatibility hassles here--I'm complaining about the need to watch FF carefully to make sure FF doesn't jump up and do something that I don't want. That and the fact that I have to remember that FF will change my system BEFORE checking to see if it's going to make a mess for me.
    I only recently returned to Firefox and started using some of the Add-ons again. I love them. But I don't think I'll ever use more than 6 or so Add-ons because of the constant problems with updates like this mess today with Macropedia's Flash. The one thing I don't want in a browser is problems.
    Thanks for your attention here ...
    Jack

    I'm sorry to hear that you have so many issues. What version of Firefox were you using before?
    The double title bar issue has been identified as an issue with the Tax Mix Plus extension but it doesn't affect everyone, it's an interaction with something else (not exactly clear what, although Norton Toolbar was mentioned in one thread).
    There is a new version available that you could try. If Firefox is stable enough to do it...
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > "gear" icon > Check for Updates
    If your beta version won't update, you could try installing [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ from the add-ons site].
    More generally, could I suggest disabling as many extensions as you can live without for 24 hours, and re-enable them gradually? This should help isolate interactions between them. As you know, you can do that here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Finally, regarding your old session, if you haven't closed Firefox, you might find a sessionstore.bak file in your profile folder that contains your old session. To easily access that folder, try
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Grab a copy of that file and save it somewhere outside the folder because it is overwritten when you close Firefox. Got to run, but if you find one with an appropriate date, someone can help you restore it.

  • Im getting a grey box at the bottom of my screen under the display line for the add ons like ghostry,personnas and greasemonkey icons are . i cant seem to get a "full screen" anymore . can you tell me how to overcome this

    the box is located under the icon line at the bottom of the screen and above the window tool bar/icon box ! its almost like im running in a wide screen mode ! i cant seem to find a way of making the screen deeper, so it fills all the available space ! its also . freezing and it messes with the add ons and the adobe plugins ! a real shame cause i think the new layout is great . kep up the good work

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Firefox 5.0 - two users different add-ons and plugins - are they not supposed to be in sinc or are the differencesok per each user? please advise

    not necessarily a problem, just inquiring. husband sends me web pages in a format that I cannot read and he tells me that he saved it as one of the "save page as" options - which I do not have multiple options just the one. there are some options I do not need yet are listed as add-ons. how do I get the add-ons and plug-ins more in sinc and delete those that we do not need. some only allow disabling not removing.

    As an addition to this issue, I have noticed that Firefox Mobile has done the same thing to these sites. It causes all the same issues to happen in the same spots. Some feedback on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
