Since upgrading to 4.01, I get an error message: [JavaScript Application] TypeError: Components. classes [cid] is undefined.

I seem to have screwed up my Firefox, I guess. Whenever I go out of Firefox and try to come back in, I get that message, I click on OK and everything is fine again until I close our Firefox and try to return... What's the problem?

Usually caused by an incompatible extension.

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 > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I get an error message upon startup: "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined." Help!

In addition to the error message upon startup, the Enter key does nothing when I type a URL in the search bar; I have to click on the green arrow everytime to navigate to new pages. My about.home page is also empty when the program starts except a blank search bar in the center with no text anywhere around it. I installed 4.0 twice to see if that would fix the problems, but it didn't.

By opening Firefox I get since recently the message: [JavaScript-toepassing] TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined

After clicking [OK] in the Error-message Firefox runs without problems. It seems to be only annoying.

Every time I start Firefox I get : JavaScript Application TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined. What causes this and how do I fix it?

This happens also when I open another tab that requires printing.

When I open Firefox, the browser does not open. Instead I get a small window that says: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined. How do I fix this?

I tried to uninstall AVG antiviral software, but it did not uninstall. Next, when I try to open Firefox I get a box popup that says:
TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined.
If I click OK in that box, I can then open Firefox.
Also I can no longer update Java.
Help!

Possibly you have "AVG Safe search" extension installed as part of "AVG Free", solution involves reinstalling :AVG Free" without the Link Scanner component see

That is caused by a problem with the Skype extension for Firefox.

When I enter any site, including Mozilla, I get a message that says "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" I have to "x" that message to enter.

This also applies to opening links within sites. I do this several hundred times a day in my work and it happens every time.

That indicates that you are using an add-on that is not compatible with Firefox 4. For details of how to troubleshoot this to find out what one is causing the problem see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

What can I do about this: After upgrading to firefox 6, I get this error. TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined???

What can I do about this:
After upgrading to firefox 6, I get this error.
When I click to open Firefox, A box open with the following error:
JAVASCRIPT Application
TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined?
After I click close on the box, then Firefox will start. I really just want to get the error fixed so that when I want firefox open, I don't have to see this box anymore.

You need to figure out which add-on is causing that error and disable it until the developer of that add-on fixes it. There may be an error message about that in the Error Console, accessed through the Web Developer menu item or through {Ctrl + Shft + J}.

Since upgrading to 6 I get "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" when loading Firefox - why?

When loading Firefox or certain pages I get a message box appear with "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" if I hit "OK" the system continues. This has only happened since the recent security upgrade to Firefox. I have downloaded Firefox and reinstalled but the message persists.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Since installing Firefox 4, I keep getting this message "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" when a window should open. Also print and print preview don't work properly anymore.

Since installing the newest version of Firefox, This message "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" appears in a box when a new window should open. Also, what you see in print print preview is not what prints.

This type of error is usually caused by an add-on you are using that is not compatible. It could be anything from an antivirus link scanner like AVG Safe Search add-on, or McAfee Site Advisor add-on, or something similar. To confirm what add-on is causing this use the procedure in this link:
https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Try Disabling the last add-on that was installed prior to upgrading to version 5.0
Check and tell if its working.

I am getting an error message when I open Firefox 5 (Win.Vista) "TypeError:Components.classes[cid] is undefined." How can I get rid of this? Thank you.

Only started since the upgrade. Windows Vista Home 32 bit.
The error message reads:
"TypeError:Components.classes[cid] is undefined."

Try the suggested idea above. I just disabled all the add-ons which were not compatible with FF 5 and did a FF restart. That fixed the problem. I then enabled each one, one at a time, with a FF restart until the problem came back. I then disabled that add-on.

I am getting this error message when i try to open FF "ug-in object: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined"

This is the error message I get when i click to open FF after i downloaded the newest version: "ug-in object: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" . The message is in the top left corner and not fully visible. i sent a message a few min ago so i am sending this b/c i copied the error message to help diagnose the problem.

I reinstalled hoping it would get rid of the error message that pops up each time i open it TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined

When I open up Mozilla i get this error message--TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined
also when i am working on my real estate web site and pull up a name i get the same messag. At the top it always says-- Java Script Application

That error is caused by an incompatible/malfunctioning add-on. To identify the culprit follow the procedure in the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article. One add-on that has caused this error for some is AVG safe search.

Since upgrading to 4.01, I get an error message: [JavaScript Application] TypeError: Components. classes [cid] is undefined.
