This add-on will be installed when firefox is restarted

When trying to copy a profile from desktop to laptop, using same firefox version, even updating laptop's profiles.ini to point to the same named XXXXXX.default as in desktop, I get that annoying but ALWAYS and I can restart firefox a thousand times, run as administrator and do God knows what else, but extensions always come up as disabled.
You could say "Oh, just install the extensions one by one in laptop, and then just sync bookmarks and others" but to be honest, that is not what I want. I want to just copy & paste the profile folder of desktop installation to laptop and make it work seamesly.
Does this have a solution or may I turn to the dark side of the force (Chrome!! Aghhhhrhrhr...)

Every time Firefox opened

We do!
Firefox 3.6.7 is out, so you can update: Help > Check for Updates.
You have or had an extension installed (MegaUpload toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.7.x to Firefox/3.0.5.
You can see the Firefox version at the top and the user agent at bottom of the "Help > About" window (Mac: Firefox > About Mozilla Firefox).
You check (compare) what websites see: http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ - Whats My User Agent?
You can check the '''general.useragent''' prefs on the '''about:config''' page.
You can open the ''about:config'' page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
Filter: '''general.useragent'''
If ''general.useragent'' prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose ''Reset''.

  • I'm running Firefox 3.6.13. Add-ons say will be installed when Firefox is restarted but they don't install. What is the problem?

    I also have a few add-ons that aren't compatible with my current version of Firefox, and they say they will be un-installed when Firefox restarts, but they still stay on the add-ons list.

    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.

  • IMDB is listed as an add-on, but when I click on it to install it, I get an error message saying "this add on is not supported by Firefox". I find this very strange, since I have the add-on installed on my desktop--it just won't install to my laptop.

    Compaq laptop with Windows 7 installed. My desktop PC uses Windows Vista SP2. I have the IMDB search engine add-on installed on my desktop, and it works perfectly. When I attempt to install the add-on to my laptop, I get an error stating that "this add-on isn't supported by Firefox and can't be installed". I'm interested in the second one on the page, IMDB by clouserw.

  • Every single extension I have is broken. Uninstalling and re-installing doesn't work either. They say they'll be updated when Firefox is restarted, but I can't even open the preferences for each plug-in.

    Not a solitary extension is working. Many of them say that they'll be updated when Firefox is restarted; some of them ostensibly appear to be working, but clicking on the 'preferences' button provokes no response. I have Firefox 3.6.13. I've tried uninstalling and then re-installing one of the extensions (Stumbleupon) but to no avail. Do I need to be re-installing Firefox here?

    This can happen if one of the files that stores details on installed extensions is corrupt. To fix that see the section on corrupt extension files in the [[Unable to install add-ons]] article.

  • Hello! I just figured this out.....When Firefox is open, my Illustrator CS2 modifier keys stop working? As soon as I shut down Firefox, they start working again. Please help! Thanks!

    Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

  • New bookmarks added don't appear anymore when Firefox is restarted

    Hello everybody,
    I have a Mac OS X Lion server which runs an OpenDirectory as master.
    About 50 clients connect to this server, also with Mac OS X Lion installed on each client.
    Each User has his Homedir on the server, and Firefox is installed on each client.
    The problem is : if a client adds a bookmark in Firefox, when Firefox is restarted, the new bookmark is not there anymore.
    Firefox can retreive its bookmarks when the client logs in with a local user on the client.
    So, I thought it was a problem with rights on Homedir, but they are the same on the local user as on the Opendirectory user.
    So I looked farther in fireFox sqlite databases, and I saw this after installing Sqlite Manager Firefox extension :
    I opened Firefox and Sqlite Manager and saw that :
    when a bookmark is added, moz_bookmarks table from places.sqlite database receives a new record ; but when Firefox is stopped, either modification are not committed, or table reverts in its preceeding state, because, when Firefox is restarted, the new bookmark is not there.
    So, I retried to add a new bookmark, and from Sqlite Manager, i forced changes committing through 'commit;' command ; and yet, when I stopped and restarted Firefox, The new bookmark was here !

    Hi cor-el,
    I already tried your two links from Mozilla support without success ;
    I also to tried to delete places.sqlite and even entire profile : in these cases, curiously, it is possible to add a new bookmark, restart Firefox and retrieve the new bookmark, but only once !
    If we try yet to add another bookmark, it is not here when Firefox is restarted.
    Here is a copy of 'ls -l' in profile during the process of adding a new bookmark. (excuse me for editing format, but I guess you already know what file to look at)

  • Is there a way to see which of my add-ons will be disabled when I install Firefox update?

    I have recently returned to Firefox after a long absence. The reason I stopped using it in the first place is that every time I got all the add-ons that I wanted, there would be a new update and I'd lose some or all of them and I wasn't interested in having some/all of my useful functions disabled until who knows when or forever.
    I've currently got automatic updates turned off, and that is where they will stay unless I can verify that the add-ons are backwards compatible or there is an update for the add-on.
    Is there a way to see what current add-ons will be disabled with an update?

    Yes, during the update there is a list of add ons that come up that will not be added when you update. You can cancel the update if it lists one that you do not want to no longer use.
    The block list is also here: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/]

  • Adobe Flash Upgrade will not install after Firefox upgrade to 3.6.7

    Just once or twice

    Thanks for your response. I have previously reviewed this. The only potential problem it seems to resolve is having 2 versions of Shockwave installed. I only have one. The only thing I can think of to do is just uninstall the one version and see if it will trigger an installation. When I go to the Flash install site, I agree to the terms and get the next screen that says download will start. I never get a message asking if it's ok to run or anything. No matter where I look for a download for Flash I wind up at the same place with the same problem. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

  • Why can I not install adobe flash, I get a message saying it will not install while firefox is runing

    When I try to download adobe flash player everything goes fine and the download finishes. When asked to install I get a message that says it will not install while an application is running. Which is Mozilla Firefox

    Adobe Shockwave Flash needs to install plugins for Firefox, and Flash needs to do that with Firefox closed. So close Firefox and run the Flash installer.

  • Flash will not install in Firefox

    I have tried to install Flash Player in Firefox 35.0.1 running Windows 8.1 many times and it says that it has installed but if I look at the plugins it never does show up. It installs just fine in Internet Explorer. I have it installed with Firefox on my other computers but it will not work on this one. I have searched for help and used the flash uninstaller and the shockwave uninstaller before reinstalling several times but it still will not work. Any answers?

  • I have two computers with WinXP SP3. At first FF 4.0.1 upgraded to 5.0 without disabling 2-pane bookmarks add-on, on the second I get warning that this add-on will be disable after upgrading to 5.0!

    Both instalations of FF are almost identical, profile of second was cloned to the first one. What to do?
    This is the latest version of this add-on:
    0.6.2011011701

    Thanks one again. I know you helped me the last to. I do have the Deja Vu font set in my folder. I downloaded and the last time. So I don't know if there is supposed to be more or not, but those were installed with Windows-XP after my reformat.
    This is really driving me nuts. as I've done several re-formats on my computer and several friends computers and even upgraded hardware so I am not necessarily a software or programming expert, I am somewhat advanced when it comes to computers in general and can usually diagnose the problem but these font's are the problem and they never were before.
    I did see in another forum that if you had a Dell Computer and did the Microsoft update for the onboard video card driver that it could be the culprit, but I have that disabled being I have a much better graphics card so the updates from Microsoft for the onboard video weren't installed.
    It' a Dell Dimension 3000 with an Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller so I don't believe it is the culprit being it is disabled. The actual video card that I am using is a PCI Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB Memory. And I didn't have any problem before.
    I appreciate the help. But still can't get things to work. Live Help Chat doesn't open for another two hours so maybe they can do "Remote Access" or something and can check setting and help me. But if you come up with other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks again.

    I've a few pinned App Tabs... and they all open as normal tabs when I restart Firefox?
    So, now whenever I start Firefox, I'll have 4 small App Tabs on the left and 4 repeat app tabs open as normal tabs, a total of 9 tabs (including my home page)!?
    Please help.

    I've just solved this problem....
    The problem started when I set my home page... with all the App Tabs in place...
    When I clicked "Use Current Pages" (didn't notice the 's' on Pages), it actually set all (including the App Tabs) tabs as my home pages....
    So, when Firefox restarts, it opens all the tabs as home page!
