Updated to FireFox 11 and I keep getting "checking compatibility of add-on" when I start the browser.

I just updated to FireFox 11 and whenever I start the browser, I get that annoying window that checks for the compatibility of add-ons.
I have looked around for solutions and have tried the following:
1. Deleting several extension files from the profile folder.
2. Going to about:config to disable the extension:checkcompatibility (does not exist there).
None of these worked.

Did you try to delete the file prefs.js?

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization features that can cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

Firefox 3.6.3 hangs after some use. Links w/in home pg. work but dropdown menus don't. must use Cntrl/Alt/Del to get out of pg.

Firefox 3.6.3 hangs up after some use. Can't find any specific site or action that causes this. Links w/in page and menu's such as most visited, latest headlines, and links like utube, google continue to work. Drop down menus (i.e. File, Edit, Tools, Help)/ will not open and I must use Alt+Cntrl+Del to get out of the page.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

I have updated my firefox version but it keeps on telling me that I do not have the latest version, even though I just updated it.

On the homepage of firefox it sayd that I do not have the latest version of firefox. So i desidet to update it, but after that it kept on telling me that I do not have the latest version. I am sure that I have the latest version because I just updated it. Is it possible that the update did not work or is just an advertisement firefox shows to everyone? Hopefully you can provide me an answer, which would be helpful.
Computer's operating system: vista (I do not know whether this is relevant)

The machine could be repaired by a company that does circuit board re-soldering, since it is possible a heat-flex solder break on the main board may have caused either the processor or graphics chips to lose connection and that could manifest itself in a few somewhat documented ways.
There is an on-board RAM chip that may also have something to do with a kernel panic, if it no longer is functioning correctly; that is the non-removable one soldered on the board you never usually worry about.
Companies such as powerbookmedic, wegenermedia, and others can take in portable macs of vintage or newer (contact them for details on what they do, and how they accept work orders) for repair and can fix most anything; and have a parts inventory. Modern repair workstations allow the equipped service company to fix complex issues and they do troubleshooting. Sometimes the cost is less than a replacement logic board.
The links above may help isolate the general cause of a kernel panic. There are other articles in Support database including a deeper look into them.

http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
•Troubleshooting Kernel Panics:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html#Anchor-Troubleshooting-49575
Usually the issue is caused by hardware, especially if there is an indication of machine failure in the crash log or other screen image text.
A working last model MacBook (mid-2010) would be a better 'first mac' to have.
Hopefully you can sort it out.
If not, there likely are fair parts in it.
Good luck & happy computing!

Firefox 3.6.16 hanges or freezes every 15 minutes and I have to close and restart.

Operating system is Windows 7. All of the addons that I am using I have been using over various versions without a problem. Over the last few months Firefox hangs regularly.

If it works in Windows Safe mode then you likely have a problem with your security software that is blocking Firefox and possibly other browser.
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
You may need to ask advice at the support site of that software if you can't fix it via the setup of that software.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Updated to Firefox 35.0 recently and I keep getting a Java Application error message everytime I pull up a new page

This is more of a heads-up rather than a ques
tion.
I recently update Firefox to version 35. My computer operating system is Windows 7 Starter. Since adding the update every page I pull up I get a Java script error message "Error: 'console' getter called on an object that does not implement window interface."
I followed the steps for trouble shooting extensions and managed to isolate the problem. It was an add-on extension for Youtube Auto HD 1.4. The message no longer pops up.
I hope others out there find this helpful.

Sorry didn't noticed it was solved.

I am trying to update my firefox and every time I try it says that I do not have Administration permission to update the software.

I am the ONLY person with administration privileges. I contacted Apple and they said to contact firefox. Because I cannot update it, it keeps closing every time I try to print something.
Help please!

* Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

[solved] pacman 4 hangs after "checking for file conflicts"

Like others, I removed yaourt and package-query because they conflicted with pacman4... not worried about that, I'll reinstall them later.
I put the new pacman.conf in place (my old one wasn't really customized). I left SigLevel = Never.
Now, I can run pacman -Sy fine, but if I try to install anything, I it just hangs:

Note that the 'checking available disk space...' is not printed without the --debug option although it doesn't look like being 'debug output'.
I don't see much disk activity after that and the pacman process uses no CPU time and the process status goes to D in `ps` (man ps says: D: Uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)).

[solved] "pacman -Syu" hangs after "checking for file conflicts"

This is my third attempt. I let it run yesterday for 20 hours on the theory that maybe it was actually doing something. It always completes "checking for file conflicts" but never goes any further.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to get it to continue?

Disk space? I think I have enough disk space.

Is disk space really the problem? Or is that just where it hung?

I'm using Firefox Ver 3.6.10 with updated Java console ver 6.0.22. After the updating, firefox doesn't allow pop up window anymore. Please advise.

I also face this problem in previous Firefox version but after updated to newer release, the problem disappeared until new Java console updates again.
The Pop up does not come out at all.
I have tried restart Firefox but when restarting, a message pop up and tell me that another Firefox is running and after I check into my Task Manager, the Task Manager shows that there is another Firefox is still running.

You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.

Firefox hangs after a few minutes and freezes whole system -- tried all the help suggestions already

I just updated to the latest version of Firefox and now it hangs after a few minutes of use (maybe when using Facebook)...I tried all of the existing help suggestions and none of them worked. Once it hangs, I can no longer use my machine as it freezes everything. I have to shut down...and even that takes forever to happen. :(

Hello cswatson,
Try clearing your Java cache, and History.
If you're not sure how to do that go here. --> [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/plugin_cache.xml I'm a Link].
If you still have problems, and are running a 64 bit processor you may want to install Waterfox instead of Firefox. On the case that you are running a 32 bit operating system do not install Waterfox. However, if you are running a 64 bit operating system you may want to install Waterfox. If you do install you should update your plugins on the Waterfox Download page below.

Downloaded update for Firefox and now I can't get rid of AOL.

Downloaded update for Firefox and now I can't get rid of AOL. I have tried to delete anything associated with AOL and when restart Firefox.....there's AOL again. I even reinstalled Firefox.......there it was again.

Where does AOL show up -- home page?
I think the first thing to check is whether you have any AOL-related add-ons. These might override your regular settings. You can review and disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Note that in most cases, you need to use the Restart Firefox link to actually deactivate the extension you chose to disable.
Next, to fix your home page, try the steps in this article: [[How to set the home page]].
If there is a problem with your search providers being switched from Google to AOL, try this extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Any improvement?

Why does "checking compatibility of addons" come up each time I turn on Firefox?

Each time I turn on Firefox a box comes up with "checking compatibility of addons".

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
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 a compatibility update available.

JRE 6 x Mozilla Firefox Java Console problem

Dear sirs
I want to call the attention that the extension that JRE 6 installs on Firefox has a wrong MaxVersion. This causes the Java Console not working on Firefox 2.0.0.4 (the most recent version)
Instead of the maxversion
2.0
(current, cause of problem) it should be
2.0.*
It's possible to fix in our computer, editing the install.rdf file but it's important that java community delivers the CORRECT extension with Maxversion 2.0.*
Steps to fix on your computer:
1- Find c:\program files\Mozilla Firefox\Extensions\{CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0001-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
2- Edit the maxversion in the install.rdf file to 2.0.*
3- Save the file
4- Pack all the content of this folder (two files and the chrome folder) into a new zip file called temp.xpi
5- Drag this file on a Firefox Window or open it from File - 'open file' menu
6- Install and restart. Now Java Console will be working.
Best Regards
Sergio Abreu

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6506635
This issue is fixed with yet to be released JRE version 6u02

Just Updated to Firefox 26.0...Hanging Worse Than Ever.

I just updated to FireFox 26.0 a few hours ago, and now when I visit a site like Wonkette.com, the browser hangs are worse than ever before...and they were bad before. My browser is hanging (becomes completely unresponsive) minutes at a time before it either loads the page, or tries to load it and I get a script error (which takes more minutes to pop up while the browser's unresponsive) before it loads.
God help you if you go anywhere with an IntenseDatabase commenting system or any kind of embedded video player. I have on no add-ons or plug-ins, so it is not that (and they are all up-to-date, anyway, but that's irrelevant).
No, this is not something solved by going into Safe Mode - the seeming catch-all cure that never works, either - so don't even offer that up as a solution. Thanks.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
