Why do duplicate and/or older versions of plugins/addons appear on startup?

I recently started using CCCleaner and ran an analysis of all the plugins and add-ons that are enabled for start-up on FireFox. Interestingly, many of the older versions of some add-ons and plugins appeared and are enabled. Moreover, several of the same programs appear more than once. Is this appropriate? Can the older versions of the the plugins/add-ons be disabled?

You seem to have reset Firefox a few times and still have multiple Firefox profiles.

This is probably done in an older Firefox version because current Firefox versions move the previous folder to an Old Firefox Data folder on the desktop.
If you do not need any data from other than the profile that you currently use then you can remove all other profiles.
You can also remove older versions of plugins that are no longer needed and only keep the most recent plugin version.<br />
You can see the path of plugins in the pluginreg.dat file in the profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

    Apple offers no supported way to do it.  As such any other non supported ways that may exist cannot be discussed in these forums.
    No that if you try any of the non supported ways you may void your warranty and forfeit any support from Apple including these forums.
    Yoiu can use Google to find ways of doing this at your own risk.

  • How to force the browser to uninstall the older version of plugin?

    Hi
    The application I am working installs the plugin from its server rather than installing from sun's site when the user opens the page first time. But I want to have all the users use the same version of plugin(because the application loads some libraries as plugin extension).
    If any of the user has older version of plugin installed already I want the browser to uninstall the older version and install the newer version from the web server automatically.
    Have any one come across this situation?
    Thanks.

    Isn't that a potentially dangerous thing to allow an applet to do? If you are developing for a company intranet, have your admin do it on all company computers. But if this is a commercial application, I am sure most users won't want an applet uninstalling programs from their computer.

  • Where to download Adobe Reader 9.1...and other older versions?

    I just got a notice that a "new" update was avialable for Acrobat Reader.
    I tried to install the update for my version (v 8.2! -- don't know why I never got any notices of subsequent updates/versions), but the update to 8.22 failed several times. So I got the update from the download are and that installed successfully.
    However, when I noticed that there have been several updates, I also tried to download the 16 MB version 9.1. But clicking "download now" wouldn't generate a download window. Instead, I was taken to a download page for the CURRENT version of Acrobat -- the 32 MB  v 9.3 that includes AIR). This page offers no option to download other versions though the header for the page actually states that it's a page for the Current and "older versions".
    Any ideas on why I'm encountering this problem and where I can actually download version 9.1....or how I can get 9.3 WITHOUT AIR?
    Thanks.

    You can't get with out AIR.  you could uninstall it afterwards.
    i believe there is switch you could user when installing it to diable the AIR.  I have it disabled at work, but I'm also
    packaging it for mass deployment to 7000 machines.  Check out appdeploy.com
    If you don't want AIR and Acrobat.com you need to get the .msi and download the custom wizard and make an .mst file and run those.  Quite fun.  Or like I ssaid just run the set up and uninstall those features.

  • After installing LV 7, MAX 3, NIDAQ 7, can not target to LV 6.1 RT even after uninstalling and loading older version.

    We have started using LV 7 for all of our new projects but still have to support a number of older projects made in LV 6.1. After installing LV 7, MAX 3 and NIDAQ 7, we can not do remote DAQ configuration on the older version of RT and can not target to the RT system either. We used NIs uninstall for MAX and NIDAQ and then reinstalled the older versions, but we still can not remote DAQ configuration. Computers that have the older versions of MAX and NIDAQ and have never had the newer versions installed have no problem with remote DAQ configuration or targeting.
    How can we go back to the previous version of MAX and NIDAQ and get it to work? What is left
    after uninstalling the newer versions?

    Rob,
    I would recommend creating a Service Request on-line and contacting an Application Engineer. There are several possible reasons that software might not be completely removed, and we have some utilities that will make sure this does not happen. There also might be some issues with downloading the code to the "target". We could quickly reformat the controller and make sure to get the older software on the system.

  • What to do if my pc is too slow for Flash CS6? may i try (and find) older version?

    Hi all
    I tried the trial version of flash CS6 but my computer is too slow (less than 2 GB of RAM available) and I 'm not able to use it. i need it to make animated cartoons and I do not need to code in order to do it .. What do you recommend me, please? If I use an older version (which one? flash 8? is there a trial version on the site? ) it can work out ? i mean can i consider it valid for my works or is it a point against me for the market?
    i want to be sure before buying the product ...
    (is this the right place to ask? )
    Thanks anyway
    Adelina

    First of all, check if your machine meets the system requirements for Flash CS6. If yo do, then i will recommend to cleanup your machine. Delete the temp files(Run->%temp%) and empty the Recycle bin.
    This should also help.

  • Installing iTunes 10.3 and removing older version of Bonjour error

    I'm trying to install iTunes version 10.3 on my laptop.  During the installation an error message occurs "The older version of Bonjour cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group."  At the end of the installation process another message occurs 'The installer process was interrupted before the requested process for iTunes could be completed.  Your system has not been modified."
    I've tried renaming and deleting the Bonjour files with no success after several weeks of trying to fix..  Finally did a system restore and gave up, but my sister bought a new Shuffle on the weekend but in needs at least  iTunes 10.0.  I have iTunes 8.0.2.20 on my laptop.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to install the current version of ITunes on my PC or removing Bonjour?

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

  • I have upgraded to newer version of labview, and the older versions of LavVIEW are now piling up. Can I uninstall the older versions? if yes how?

    Do I have to keep all the old versions of LabVIEW as I did not uninstall the older versions, but only downloaded the latest version of labview from the website and installed it. A new version and icon is installed on my PC now. What can I do?

    You asked "Do I have to keep all the old versions...". Of course not. You can do whatever you want. Each version of LabVIEW installs in its own directory, which is what allows you to keep multiple versions installed in case you need to support programs written in earlier version that cannot be upgraded yet for whatever reason. Conflicts may arise if you install older versions later than new ones and you install the libraries for the hardware interfaces like VISA and such. Older versions of these libraries sometimes cause problems with newer versions of LabVIEW.
    If you do not want multiple versions, common practice is to completely uninstall the current version before installing the new one. If you have more than two versions but only want the latest, simply uninstall the older ones from the main NI installer. Depending on how old the versions are that you are uninstalling something with the new one may break so you may need to repair that installation. You may just want to simply uninstall all NI software and then just do a clean install of the latest version. That will likely be your best course of action.

  • Where can I buy and upload older versions of Adobe Fireworks for my Mac? I can't afford the latest versions.

    Hi. I love working on Fireworks. I use it to tweak pictures for web letters. I had the latest full version at my previous company but is now on my own and can't afford the latest version. Is there anyway of loading an older Adobe Fireworks version for my Macbook for a bit cheaper?

    The latest (and forever last) version is CS6 - it is a dead product,and no longer maintained or supported by Adobe.
    It is actually quite hard to find the purchase link now:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html?start=10
    It will cost you $299 - but honestly, I would stay away from FW at this point. You are investing money in a dead application, and there is a good chance that it will no longer function properly on your mac in a few years time.
    It may be a better idea to get something like Sketch: Sketch 3
    Or affinity Designer: https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/
    Affinity Designer is only $49.

    Hi Edward,
    You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.

  • ITunes 9 - solution is to uninstall and get older version?

    I am wondering as the problem I have below seems to be unsolvable is it a wise move to uninstall iTunes on the mac as I have all the music on my ext HD and reload?
    Have a prob with iTunes and it is getting messier the more I fiddle with it. Bought an external HD had a friend partition for me and things were ok until I added iLife and was transferring HD tape to the external HD. My friend (PC guy) didn't set up the partition properly for a mac so I ended up doing it. Moved all the data from the ext HD back onto my mac, partitioned, then put every thing back, or so I thought. Now when I try to access my iTunes library almost all of it has exclamation points and I cannot sync my iPod for the same reason. I tried changing the iTunes media folder location in preferences then organize library and consolidate files but this has made it worse as it seems I now have copies of songs on both the mac and ext HD but neither works on iTunes. Began to try the iTunes Track CPR v1.3 but it is a waste of time when you are talking 8k plus songs. Any suggestions?
    TIA

    Do I stay w/iTunes v9?
    i would.
    Am curious as to why everyone is getting the exclamation mark problem not just me.
    not everyone is getting the "!". the trick is to let iTunes do the moving. if you move files via the finder, iTunes loses track of their location - it's as simple as that.
    Not worried about play lists, ratings etc.
    good. fire up iTunes with the option key pressed and, @ the prompt, choose to create a new library. go to the advanced tab, point iTunes to the desired location, check +keep iTunes media folder organized+ and +copy files to+ ...
    next, file > add to library and navigate to the folder on the external containing your media files.
