Add-ons Manager loads automatically

Whenever I load Firefox version 11, the Add-ons Manager load also in a separate tab. Also, if I click on FILE, NEW WINDOW, the new window gets its own add-ons Manager in a separate tab.

FWIW, for awhile the Add-0n Fireftp opened automatically. Then he left it; but now opens the Add-ons Manager instead.

  • Add-ons Manager keeps loading

    When I try to use the Add-ons Manager in the browser, I can never progress beyond the stage of "Loading"... ». I still have the download, search for them and the Options available. I waited 5-10 minutes to see if the loading ends. So far, he has not.
    I don't remember what theme I am running. Add-ons only I remember are NoScript, KeyScrambler and Privacychoice. All my modules and must be current as of 31/08/2011.

    By default the "Get Add-ons" tab is selected if you open the topic: addons page (Firefox/tools > Add-ons).

    This page tries to load content from the Mozilla server and that can take some time especially if the Mozilla servers are busy.

    You can click on the tab 'Extensions' to see the installed extensions or one of the other tabs to see other add-ons installed.

  • Added Yahoo Toolbar and Add-ons Manager no longer shows the extensions one I can't access the function "get addons".

    I added a Yahoo toolbar for Firefox that has been customized for Frontier Communications. I Ghostery installed as an add-on, and she flashed a message that Yahoo toolbar confused its effective functioning and I would like to disable or uninstall the toolbar. I open the Add-ons Manager to do and much to my surprise he now showed no extension at all, but they all seemed still works! All my plug-ins appear when I look on the Add-ons Manager. I checked the "Get function modules and it tries to load but does not succeed." I am running Firefox 10.0.2.

    Please also try to delete the extensions.* files in the right out of the Firefox profile folder. Firefox will recreate the files and information. Please note that at the next startup, Firefox can request permissions, opening several tabs with each tab corresponds to a detected extension. Select allow the installation, click continue, but click on restart only on the last tab. You can also try to leave out the suspects without selecting modules and continue. I hope it will solve the problem.

    Files & Firefox profile folder

    Another way would be to try a new profile. Firefox stores the data from profile/personal separately from its installation folder. If the new profile is correct, you can later copy/replace files of the old profile in it, for example. the places.sqlite who holds history + information of favorites, the folder of bookmarks which has backups dated only bookmarks, signons3.txt + signons.sqlite which are necessary to restore successfully a saved website names to user/passwords etc. Please note that in this case, although it is also possible to copy the extensions it may be preferable to install again via Tools > Modules search box or AMO.

  • Add-ons Manager does not since I updated Firefox yesterday, no?

    I've updated Firefox yesterday when the update has been proposed. Now the Add-ons Manager (accessed through the Tools menu) crashes. It says loading and icon spins, but it's never full load. I'm running on a Mac. Thank you.

    I fixed that by clicking on the "Extensions" tab in the Add-ons Manager, then again to get the modules.
    It seams that get the modules need time to load all the necessary data.

  • Add-ons Manager crashes Firefox when I open it.

    I use Linux Mint 10 and Firefox 4b11pre, although this has happened since at least b9pre. I'm under Fx in my home folder as it is downloaded from Mozilla, not a PAL. This happens on 'stable' beta versions, but also the "pre" versions I used to be able to "suck" the databases with Bleachbit program and the problem should go away... for a while. Now it's more emotional.

    In addition, and I think it's important, all of THE modules are working properly. Everything works except that I can't open the crib of the add-on.

    The add-on Manager (huge, heavy and unresponsive) new simply stops working. He does not or partially loads and darkens in the browser, which means a program is not Linux. I then have to force to leave Firefox.

    If I crash reporting active I am never asked to submit a report.

    In this case completely at random. It is not associated with any particular add-on I can say. I spent several hours trying to diagnose this problem without success.

    Things I've done:

    1 build a completely fresh profile. I did it many times combining many different situations, and the problem still happens. It happens with the default settings when I change only the settings of the Preferences dialog box, and when I change the settings via subject: config. I also used the switch to safe mode to reset all settings, but it still happens. Similarly, I have re-downloaded Firefox itself, 'pre' and 'stable' for fear of corruption by updates, that's already happened, but this does nothing either.

    2 safe mode. If I chose to disable all modules in the safe mode dialog box, restart Firefox Add-ons Manager work. At some point, I have approximately 30 active modules, mainly the standard (Adblock, No Script, etc.) and although I am simply playing with.

    Now, when I start to activate the Add-ons, the Add-ons Manager work. I can turn on, say, 5 at a time, completely at random, and it will continue to work until I get to about 25, then it dies. I deleted all modules except those approved by Mozilla Add-ons Web site out there. Then with approved all the Add-ons (and still a manager does not) I disabled all add-ons, restarted and activated one by one. Enable, restart. Enable, restart. Then, randomly, it just stopped working and freezes. I made this several times and totally random orders. He's not on any Add on specific and it always happens between 21 and 27 active cases. You can imagine how frustrating it is, because the Add-ons Manager has no way to activate the mass, or the number of Add-ons.

    Finally, I don't receive any red flags in the error console and has exhausted my knowledge of debugging in Firefox. I get no error when running the terminal either. As I said, all the modules are working properly. I did the other combinations of things, if it's a logical off shoot of what I mentioned above, then I probably did. I've looked everywhere, Bugzilla, Google, Add on bugs, etc. anything.

    Sorry it was so long, if I can't manage my Add-ons there is simply no reason to continue to use Firefox, but as is normally the best browser autour, I don't want to deal with this option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why don't security browser Avira displayed when I search modules in the Add-ons Manager page?

    Why don't security browser Avira displayed when I search modules in the Add-ons Manager page?

    If I search in google, it appears in the list of results, and it displays a add to Firefox"" button.

    However when I click on the "Add to Firefox" button, I get a message "Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on your computer" with the button authorize. Why is this and is - it safe to click the allow to install this extension?

    Hi Roberto2525, through the Manager of addons you will only find extensions that their developer chooses to host with mozilla / addons.mozilla.org, addons not they want to distribute themselves.

    the warning message you are seeing is normal and is displayed before the installation of each addon. as the firefox addons are always free to do almost everything that is possible, you must install the addons which authors you trust (extensions hosted on addons.mozilla.org are carefully controlled until they are published).

    from 41 firefox, firefox will require that hosted also outwardly need addons must be signed by mozilla, after what they've been through a few basic checks. so, if you install the extension avira and it says something like "could not be verified for use in firefox," then if please contact avira as well and ask them to get their signed addon: signature of the add-on in Firefox

  • Add - ons Manager pages appear as "text only"; Cannot download add-ons.

    Just installed Firefox v28 on new computer running Windows 7 Home. Installation went well and my browsing experience was as expected. Then I open the Add-ons Manager to install the same extensions that I used on the old machine, but something is wrong.

    The pages appear in a 'text only' weird format... scroll down and down... and down (screenshots). Navigation has been frustrating because all the following pages have been in the same weird format.

    Then I went to the box 'search all add-ons' top right of the screen and registered the names of the extensions that I wanted. The search results page was text only but easier to navigate. However, no matter what extension I have
    selected for install failed during download (screenshot).

    What I've tried so far: deleted all the history, cookies, cache, etc, closed Firefox, then rebooted the machine. But the problem persists.

    UPDATE: the problem resolved itself on its own. I left the machine in pure frustration. Returned two days later, and everything has worked well. Have a little problem with the site.
