Add on update loads every time you start Firefox

The charges 'add on update' whenever I start to tell me an update of Firefox has been found. I started in safe mode and reset the toolbars. Even. I went through the list and disable each one and restarted. Even. I reloaded Firefox from a download to load the entire program. Even. The only thing left to remove it entirely, to save my favorites and start over. Ideas?

This can be caused by one of the files that stores details about the installed extensions are corrupt. Follow the procedure in the section "Corrupt extension files" article Impossible to install add-ons (extensions and themes) .

  • (Legitimate) -Pop-up Windows every time you start Firefox

    So, lately every time I start Firefox, the new browsing session retrieves the pop-up windows during previous sessions (since the last time or even some of love it, three days ago), I long closed down. My boot option was always "show my windows and tabs from last time ' who used to do exactly this: pick up the tabs I had open or start with a new blank tab if I had opened. Now, however, whenever I open FIrefox I get different windows of previous sessions.
    The problem here is that this doesn't SEEM to be a malware issue because I don't get weird ad/questionable windows but "legitimate" pop ups I me remember I started personally is to say a photo or an image of a trusted site that opened in a new window or a help section on amazon.com , etc.
    This is a first and as you can imagine it has become very annoying. I use Firefox 25.0.1.
    Any ideas? Thank you!

    Hello waydown, maybe the files in your profile folder that contain session restroe data was corrupted - perhaps trying to remove them, so that they can get regenerated properly next time: go in firefox > help > troubleshooting information, click on file/show profile folder and close all firefox windows later. a windows Explorer window should open up - in there remove all files starting with sessionstore ...

  • Since the 8.0.1 update every time you start Firefox POPs a box asking if I want to install Java Quick Starter 1.0. I say always Yes, but the next time he asks me the same question. Why?

    Go to the Control Panel, double-click Java. In the Java Control Panel, select the Advanced tab the + various front and uncheck the box Java Quick Starter to remove the add-on. Restart firefox.

  • I receive the error message every time you start firefox: xmlNode.getElementsByTagName ("id") [0] .firstChild is null - 2

    Two weeks ago I started getting this error whenever I start up Firefox: xmlNode.getElementsByTagName ("id") [0] .firstChild is null - 2.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the error persists. Then I did a restore and system several months ago, but the error persists. This does not happen with other programs.

    Does anyone know how to get rid of it. If it has nothing to do with the registry, I'll have to let it be and switch to another browser.

  • HP Pavilion dv2700 laptop displays the message "system CMOS checksum failed" every time you start

    Hi @all,

    I have a HP Pavilion dv2700 - kh933ea laptop computer #abv (it is a HP Pavilion dv2799ee Special Edition Entertainment Notebook PC to be exact) that displays the message "system CMOS checksum failed. Press F1 to continue"every time you start the system. My OS is Windows 7 / 32 bit.

    Then I updated my BIOS to version 2.4e, 01-dec-08 Phoenix (the SMBIOS version remained the same before 2.4), but the issue is not resolved. I have attached a screenshot for processor and BIOS versions.

    Can someone guide me on how to solve this problem?

    Thank you very much in advance.

    I don't see the screenshot of your post attachments. Please repost them.

    This error message means that WHAT BIOS is damaged. You will need to have the BIOS flashed in a mobile shop, repair a BIOS or an HP Service Center. Do a search online with Google or Bing repair for a BIOS.  If you keep trying to update the BIOS there will come a time where everything you have a black screen.

    Hello everone,

    After the update of the creative cloud (2.1.1.110 of course) it seems that every time you start Windows the creative cloud window appears in the foreground. The option 'Minimize to Systray' is always chosen, and even if I mark it and minimize the CC, after a reboot the window is still there. It seems that CC forget, that it should not pop up and minimize itself the silently in the systray (like any other program smoothly). Are there any suggestions how to fix this? The registry tweaks?

  • "ReferenceError: prepareFFB is not defined" I started to have this JavaScript error recently, every time I start Firefox. I would like to stop this error

    I get the following JavaScript error every time I start Firefox:

    ReferenceError: prepareFFB is not defined.
    

    Hello, this sounds like it is probably caused by an add-on. you have any extension/theme installed, you can connect the "FFB"? Otherwise try to disable everything in firefox > addons > extensions & re-enable one by one to see which one might be causing the error message.

    Hi Ron,

    Have you looked at article in the Knowledge Base using the search in Firefox bar? There are lots of good information in there. You happen to have an installed Yahoo! toolbar? You must disable or delete as well if you do. Try to start Firefox in Mode safe mode by holding down the SHIFT key while starting Firefox. If you have any problems using the safe, it's a matter of add-on or extension.

    Hope this helps!

  • Every time I start Firefox, I get a survey with a suffex program has. How to eliminate

    You can check the setting of the home page.

    Firefox supports several home pages separated by ' |' symbol (pipe).

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js file in the profiles folder that stores the session data. When sessionstore.js is deleted you lose pinned tabs and open tabs, and you need to recreate them, so possibly make a note or bookmarks.

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

    I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Step by step instructions for the fixed number.
     
    (a) press the Windows key + X , and then select (Admin) command prompt.

    Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

    net start wuauserv

    net start cryptSvc

    net start bits

    net start msiserver

    (c) wait for the course to complete.
     
    (d) close the command prompt.

    Now, try to reinstall Windows updates and check if it helps.

    Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  • Every time you start, my 4 monitors rearrange their order - it is not included on the desktop

    Recently, I downloaded several updates to Windows Vista.  Among them have been updated for my NVIDIA GeFroce 6200 display THE and NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller.  Restarts, 2 of my 4 screens would not appear.  By checking Device Manager, there was a mistake with the controller who controlled the 2 monitors.  The failure of two attempts to restore to a previous download time.  Then I downloaded a driver for the controller by mistake and was able to resume all 4 screens.

    However, when the computer reboots, monitors have been rearranged in order on my desk and a remained dormant.  I can bring to the top of the screen 4 by extending to the desktop under display and, at the same time settings, change the location of my primary monitor.  However, I don't want to do it every time I start my computer.  Also, all my icons was reorganized.  Any ideas how I can stabilize my understanding of monitor on my desk?

    Hi Wandwinc,

    We faced such issues and others such as the screen resolution changes at each restart, some BSOD etc a few recent updates released by Nvidia for their graphics cards.

    I suggest you restore to an earlier version display driver and check what is happening.
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_driver_instructions.html

    If this helps you fix until the question, let not install, update the drivers from windows update as well, they are compeltely checked by Nvidia.
    I suggest contact you Nvidia if possible.
