Hello Angela.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

I did it in my computer, but I can not uninstall the Site Advisor alone. I need to uninstsll the the total McAfee plus. What should I do?
But another user in my computer they do not have this problem. If I try to use IE or Chrome etc , I can not find this problem. I use firefox since 2006 and do not want to change another one. What should I do?
By the way I have this problem after I update Firefox6 3 weeks ago and always allow 1 plugin work. The other user in this computer they just allow firefox plugin working 1 times.
It will pop out if I disable the siteadivsor.
many thanks

What is it and how can it be fixed, deleted, gotten rid of, etc. Thank you

Hi. SiteAdvisor is usually located in Firefox's add ons extensions. Hope this helps.

When I try to start Firefox I receive this message: "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this oRoot.enable is not a function" What's wrong?

When I try to start Firefox I receive this message: "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this oRoot.enable is not a function" Once I close the error message Firefox starts up immediately.

Hi!
Does this problem appear on many different sites or just one?

No longer able to add bookmarks on Yahoo Toolbar, Error message: "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function" started when I updated to Firefox 6.0

Since updating to Firefox 6.0 I am no longer able to add bookmarks on Yahoo Toolbarl. I receive the following Java Error message: "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function." When I hit the OK button in the error message it opens up "Add a Bookmark" and when I attempt to add the bookmark there I get this error message: "A problem occured while trying to save the bookmark. Please try again later."
Is this a comparability issue that you are not aware of? Below are the versions of Firefox and Yahoo Toolbar that I currently have installed:
Firefox: 6.0.02
Yahoo Toolbar: 2.4.0.20110815110908
Windows XP, Service Pack 3
I am having this issue on my laptop and desktop. Since I use both computers the Yahoo toolbar has been great for having my bookmarks available on both computers at the same time but no I don't have that feature. I'm told that Google's toolbar also doesn't work either.
Do you guys do any testing or Quality Assurance testing before releasing these versions?

Add-ons are the responsibility of their authors. McAfee does not even put their extension on http://addons.mozilla.org you had to install it from their site.
Disable "McAfee Site Advisor" extension which was just updated to 3.4.0, which probably took it out of the addons block list.
* "Ctrl+Shift+A" > find McAfee Site Advisor and use "Disable", and then restart Firefox.
* Do a Google Search no problem
* It seems that if you re-enable Site Advisor again, and restart Firefox you are okay. At least you know where to look if you get the error again or Google searches slow down.

Other than moving to Version 4 or 5, neither of which support Java which I need, is there a way to fix the "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function" bug I am getting in version 3.6.23?

I have used Version 4 and 5 and unfortunately neither supports Java functions that I require. I like the look and feel of 3.6.23 but there seems to be a script error on startup of Mozilla. When I double click the Icon to open the program I get "'''Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function'''" and so far haven't been able to locate the code line to fix it. I would rather not reverse Engineer the program.

More "TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function." trouble

var pntClk:int = -1;

I wrote some previous code that worked and i copy pasted over to this project and it doesn't work.
The weird part to me is that it still runs the first set of trace statements (there are 8 objects in that array). But, it won't run the second set...
for(var l:int=0;l<Tab2PointsArray.length;l++) {
 Tab2PointsArray[l].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, tab2PointClicked);

TypeError: Error #1006: getInstance is not a function.

I having some problems implementing Flex for the first time.
At the moment I'm getting
TypeError: Error #1006: getInstance is not a function.
I suspect that I'm missing a library or something in the
compile but I don't know how to resolve it.
When I Run the Application in Flex Builder I get an error
that the file isn't in the project and that some of the features
are disabled. This would be consistent with an incomplete compile
but the file is in a project. I even recreated a new project but I
get the same errors.
What am I missing?

More detail on the error:
TypeError: Error #1006: getInstance is not a function.
at mx.core::Singleton$/getInstance()
at mx.styles::StyleManager$cinit()
at global$init()
at mx.containers::Form$cinit()
at global$init()
at global$init()
In debug it was stopping here in Singleton.as
public static function getInstance(name:String):Object
var clazz:Class = classMap[name];
return Object(clazz).getInstance();
I changed the container from mx:Form to mx:Application so now
it seems to be working, but I'm not sure why mx:Form was giving me
this issue.

Why do I get the following msg's on startup start Firefox? (1) Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function; (2) Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function; (3) Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!

I get the following msg's. This happening more often, and when I back out to restart it may take a couple of times so that I do not get the error msg's?
Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function
Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!

I occasionally get error messages popping up when I run Firefox 7. The messages often say "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function". does anyone know how to fix this?

After I downloaded and installed the latest version of Firefox, I started getting these error messages every so often when I launched the browser. These messages will usually pop up every third time or so I open the browser and pop up on every page, sometimes multiple times, and I have to clear them away before I can do anything on the page. The message usually reads "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function". Is there any thing we can do to fix this?

There is a pop up box, it says,"Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function" It pops up before Firefox will load, what is it?

Why do I get this warning with every new web page: Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function?

Uploaded 6.0.2 and now I get a Java script error message with each new page I access: "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function" . Browser is working ok, but this message is a pain. What can I do?

I had this problem for a long, long time. Today I discovered if I went to Tools, Options, Enable Javascript, Advanced and deselected "Hide the Status Bar" the problem went away.
It is worth a try. Worked for me.

I am getting a javascript error on startup "Exc in ev handl: TypeError:this.oRoot.enable is not a function"

When I start Firefox, I get an error box labeled [JavaScript Application] with the message "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function"
I then need to click the OK button before Firefox will start.
