Strange non-fatal message when Firefox 6.02 starts in Win XP Pro x64

Since updating to version 6.02, a non-fatal message appears when starting Firefox. Message is: "Using registry key: Software\AppDataLow\1fd1c56". Clicking "OK" results in Firefox loading. Frequent page redirects to random sites. No change after backing up profile with Mozbackup 1.51, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, then restoring profile from Mozbackup. Modest improvement after regedit deletion of registry key, but it reappears. Malwarebytes found and removed Win32:Adrotator, but problem persists.

On Firefox 7.0.1 on Windows XP, I found a mysterious "z 4.6.7.6" addon that was causing the problem. The "z 4.6.7.6 add-on" doesn't have an Uninstall feature, so I typed "about:support" in the address bar and looked up the extension ID. I then deleted the folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Extensions\<Extension ID>" and restarted Firefox. The add-on was gone and so was the problem!

  • Personas suddenly not working Firefox 30, 31, 32 on Win 7 Pro x64 and Linux Mint 16 x64

    Personas which have been working for a long time suddenly quit working on Win 7 and Linux. I tried changing to a different persona to change the background for the top border of the window and it just goes to some odd color and the personas just don't show up. This has been with Firefox 30, 31, 32. The personas still work with Win XP Pro run as a virtual machine on Win 7 host or Win 8 host. I thought it was a Windows thing until I saw the same problem with Linux. Everything else seems normal so this isn't a real bad problem. It's just odd.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).

    One thing is for sure, and that is if the only page i visit is the Google homepage (not logged in) or this site (mozilla forum), the problem does not occur, ever. I can't make it happen.
    If i visit yahoo.com (not logged in) (or ighome.com, logged in), as examples, it happens every time.

  • Problem messages when Firefox downloads update

    Over the last couple of weeks I get the following sequence of events every few dats:
    # A message from Norton Internet Security that updater. exe is safe
    # A message that an unknown publisher updater. exe. is attempting to access my computer. I click on allow the program
    # A message from Firefox that I should apply the updates as soon as possible. I click on more information
    * A software update window that shows "connecting to update server" But it never connects, even if I leave the window open for hours.
    # Firefox opens but there is no message saying updates were successfully installed.
    If I go to About Firefox:
    * It checks for and downloads updates . The Apply button appears
    # I click on apply and the same sequence of events as above occur
    According to About Firefox I currently have Firefox 4,0, Yahoo edition 1.8. I have Windows Vista.

    If Firefox gave you the following error message:
    Firefox could not install the file at
    https://addons.mozilla.org/******.xpi
    because: <br /> Invalid file hash (possible download corruption)
    -261
    This error message may be caused when Firefox is set disallow third party cookies.

  • How do I resolve the "Mozilla cannot find runtime" error message when I try to start Firefox?

    Mozilla Firefox updated to version 36.0. When I click on the Firefox icon to open it I receive the message: "Mozilla cannot find runtime" I receive the same message if I try to open Firefox by selecting "firefox.exe" from within the Program Files. I subsequently uninstall Mozilla Firefox and reinstall it. It will open and run normally right after the re-installation. Then if I close the program and try to re-open it again, I get the same "Mozilla cannot find runtime" error message.
    The only way I can get Firefox to open is if I uninstall and re-install it every time I want to open it after the initial re-installation.

    ''sage68 [[#answer-700841|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    Hi Adriel,
    The "Mozilla cannot find runtime" problem has returned. It occurs in two situations:
    1. When Firefox tries to download updates using "updater.exe" (version 36.0.0.5531), which causes my "Norton Internet Security" program to notify me with the message: "Auto-Protect has removed security risk Suspicious.Cloud.9.B" This message is shown every time "updater.exe" activates.
    </blockquote>
    I also have experienced this during several upgrades, not just the latest. (I am using Windows XP and Norton Security Suite.) Norton identifies c:\program files\mozilla firefox\updated\xul.dll with the Suspicious.Cloud.9.B virus and removes the file. I can set the Norton installation to accept xul.dll but it would make more sense for a Mozilla expert to contact Norton and work out a permanent solution, for all who are facing this problem.

  • Getting error message when Firefox starts

    I am getting the following message when I start Firefox ever since I upgraded to the newest version (4.0.1). This is what it says:
    what happened: TypeError: Components.classes[@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1’] is undefined
    Firefox doesn’t load until I click the OK button in the message. What is causing this?

    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
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Error message when firefox opens

    I was unable to load firefox. It gave a message that firefox was running and that i needed to restart my computer. I did that several times and it still did not work. When I restarted the computer it recommended I restore due to issues, I did so and then Firefox would not loaded. So then I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it. After uninstalling, I get the message above, but after i click ok, it does allow me to use firefox, but i have concerns.
    error message: Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.

    Make sure that you allow the loopback connection that Firefox uses to communicate with the software security device in the firewall.
    See [[Firefox makes unrequested connections]]
    Rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the file.<br />
    You may have to rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well.<br />
    Firefox will create new files.
    The file cert8.db stores user certificates and intermediate certificates send by websites, so if you have certificates that you want to keep then you may want to export them now and import them after having removed cert8.db.
    See Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates: View Certificates
    If that works then you can delete the renamed files or undo the changes if you want to revert the process.

  • After "Advanced System Care 6" Addon installed, Firefox crashes IMMEDIATELY upon startup. How do I remove/disable that addon when Firefox won't start?

    None of the solutions I have found online will work because they all require the ability to be able to start Firefox (for example: starting Firefox in Safe Mode).
    Is there a way to remove / disable an addon BEFORE starting Firefox ?

    To start Firefox in Safe mode, simply hold down the Shift Key when starting Firefox, then remove the add-on

  • Windows Easy transfer , ERROR message when trying to copy settings to Win 8 PC

    I have a new hp-TouchSmart Envy 23. It has 2TB drive.
    I want to use Windows Easy Transfer to move all my settings and data from the Windows 7 machine to the new hp-TouchSmart (my older PC is hp desktop is model # m9177c and has Win 7 OS)  .
    I have used easy transfer many times and I am reasonably experienced user .
    I just cannot transfer my settings and data to my new PC. I have therefore copies all my data to the hp-TouchSmart . However I need to use Windows easy transfer to move all my settings. I have a very large number of settings , macros and much else that would take a very large amount of time to re-type.
    I get an ERROR message when I want to transfer my settings. It says I don’t have enough disk space. The file I want to transfer is only 10.5 GB (after I removed all my data). The new machine has 2TB and yet I keep getting this error.
    I have tried every possible way of transferring the settings , including : external drive; flash drive; direct wire ; easy transfer cable etc. I keep getting the same ERR message .
    I am sure Easy transfer must allow transfer from Win 7 to Win 8. BUT HOW? 
    PLEASE do help. I would really appreciate very much .
    THANK YOU
    Adam 

    This thread may be useful. 
    Windows Easy Transfer will transfer from one drive to the other to mirror the original drive.  What I suspect is happening is that the program is grabbing the D drive (recovery partition on most systems) and trying to transfer it to the new system which should also have a D drive.  If that is happening,t hen that error will be thrown.
    Try using the advanced options and view the report to see what exactly is happening and triggering the message.
    Let me know what happens. 
    The document in the thread is for a previous version of Windows, but you can search for Easy Transfer Reports from the Start screen in Windows 8.

  • Error message when iTunes tries to start.

    Whenever I try to start iTunes I get a send error report message. iTunes was working fine until I had to do a system restore, and then this problem started cropping up. I've tried reinstalling several times, and it doesn't seem to work.

    Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close
    the first thing that i check for when people report getting that message when they try to launch their itunes is a broken QuickTime.
    try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
    if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Since I installed Nero 2104 I get an error message when I try to start iTunes: registry settings changed probably due to other cd/dvd burning program please reinstall iTunes, which I've done using repair option but the problem persists...?

    Since I installed Nero 2014 I get an error message when I start iTunes that registry settings for importing and burning cds/dvds have changed probably due to other burning software installed please reinstall iTunes, which I've done using 'repair' option, but the problem persists. I have been able to import cds to iTunes since I installed Nero, but it won't anymore. Does anyone recognize this problem and have a solution? Thanks for any help. Using Windows 7.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    If you're still getting the error message (especially when you plug in the Touch), I'd check for a device filter confusion on the PC. (They can affect the connection of USB devices to a PC, as well as burning and importing CDs.) For that one, see:
