Adon at every boot compatibility checks

Since the update to version 10beta whenever I start Firefox it insists on checking add on compatibility one opens to the Welcome screen and my homepage. I would really like it to start with just my home page and skip the check of the add-on on each start during the day.

Windows XP home service pack 3.

  • Can you please tell me how a) stop the compatibility check and b) stop which is the new page that appears every time. Thank you

    Having recently updated Firefox to version 20.0.1 I get the compatibility check every time and also the what's new page. Can you tell me how to disable them, please.

    Hello rodale, what you see is probably a side effect of firefox is not able to save some preferences in the profile folder.

    go in firefox > help > troubleshooting information, click on file/show profile folder and close all firefox windows later. a windows Explorer window should open - to delete the file named user.js.

    in case this has not solved the problem yet see also How to set preferences that will not save.

  • Can the "first run after update of Firefox" (aka. "What's New" and "Add-on compatibility check") be disabled?

    We intend to deploy an update to Firefox on our campus. The question I have is this: after the update, the "compatibility of the add-on Checker" appears, then the 'What's new' page appears during the first boot after the update. In this case: we use Deep Freeze to prevent kids to do any mischief based on software on the machines. But if we push the update at night, during maintenance windows, they will be frozen in the pre-first-time-run mode. So, whenever a student starts the PC after that, they will get the popup of compatibility both the "What's new" page

    Is there a way I can disable that during the upgrade, so that students will not have to click on these 2 points away? I would like for Firefox just silently disable incompatible modules and do not display the page "news". I found ways to do it, but they involve editing omni.jar and others. I'd rather have a formal, documented way to do this.

    Thank you!!

    Well, eventually nothing worked, except all the settings I wanted to put in part of mozilla.cfg. When I added your suggestion, and one I found on the web to disable add-on compatibility check, I finally have a Firefox that loads directly to the homepage, even after the upgrade.

    Here's what my mozilla.cfg file contains (to 6.0.2):

    // Disable any auto-updates.
    lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);
    lockPref("extensions.update.enabled", false);
    lockPref("browser.search.update", false);
    lockPref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
    lockPref("extensions.checkCompatibility.6.0", false);

    Of course, I must make the byteshift-13 at it, but copy the Core\ file and the file firefox.js to Core\Defaults\Pref\ the round is played.

    Thanks for the help!

  • How to disable add on the compatibility check

    Just install firefox 6.0 and even if I have not noticed any difference until now with firefox 5.0, I noticed a small annoyance. Whenever I open Firefox 6.0 now, add it on the compatibility check runs! How can I prevent the it running every time? Firefox 5.0 never used to do that...
    Concerning

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.

    Remove files (extensions.ini, extensions.cache, extensions.sqlite, extensions.rdf) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created if necessary.

    See "extension corrupted files:

    If you see people with disabilities, is not compatible extensions in "tools > Modules > Extensions ' and then click the Tools button, on the left side of the search bar (or click on the"Find updates"button in older versions of Firefox) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See basic troubleshooting: make a new profile:

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files

  • Windows 7 installation hangs on the compatibility check

    I am trying to install Win7 (Home premium) update my Vista, but every time the installation starts a compatibility check and goes no further. I let go more than an hour with no progress.  I have run the Upgrade Advisor and it's compatible. So, how do the installation to ignore or perform this check?

    Troubleshooting tips to solve common problems when Windows 7 won't install - try everything you did not yet.
     
    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known issues that might affect the installation and correct them.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
     
    2 disable any security software: anti-virus, firewall etc. Don't forget to activate the Afterwords.
    3 make sure that your computer has the BIOS and latest drivers. Update of the BIOS can be risky, don't do that if nothing else works.
    4. disconnect all external devices except the keyboard and mouse before installing.
    5. If using a video card and the computer has integrated video use and remove the video card.
    6 unplug the computer from the internet, if you have wireless disable.
    7. RAM (memory) - reduce the amount of RAM. 1 GB if 32-bit installation, 2 GB for 64-bit, then replace RAM if the upgrade was successful. If you added new RAM make sure it is also compatible.
    8. If you have several hard drives remove all except the one that you install Windows 7, and then replace it after Windows 7 is installed.
    9. If you have downloaded Windows 7 and it burned a DVD test burn again at the slowest speed possible. It is also possible the download may have errors, you can try to download it again.
    10. If you click 'Upgrade' to start the installation make sure that you take a supported upgrade path. You can't make a room upgrade: A) XP to Windows 7, B) changing bit type ex: 32 to 64-bit C) change the languages, D) decommissioning editions ex: Vista of the month last 7 Pro, or E) Vista Home Pro 7.
     
    11. check your RAM (memory) to find errors. Can take a long time, don't make that if nothing else has worked.
    (A) Insert the Windows 7 DVD and restart the computer.
    (B) start from the Windows 7 DVD.
    (C) select your language, and then click Next.
    (D) click on "repair your computer" then select the operating system to fix it.
    (E) click on the link of the Memory Diagnostics in the system recovery menu.
    (F) the computer will restart and your memory is checked for errors.
     
    12 turn off startup programs:
    (A) click Start, type MSCONFIG in the search box and press ENTER.
    OK the authorization of user account control and password if necessary
    If you are using XP: click Start, run, and type: MSCONFIG and click OK.
    (B) on the general tab, click Selective startup.
    (C) just below the selective startup, clear the checkbox "Load Startup items".
    (D) click the Services tab, check "Hide all Microsoft Services", and then click Disable all.
    (E) click OK, and then restart the computer.
    (F) try the upgrade again.
     
    (NOTE: If the upgrade fails and you continue to use your rear security software, then also go back into MSCONFIG and under the general Tower XP/Vista tab, click "Normal startup", and then click OK to exit.)

    How to get the to Win 10 free upgrade on a laptop Sony Viao, who is a former (from Win 7 Pro) video driver. The Win 10 says the video driver compatibility checker is old, but NVIDIA does not offer a newer version. I've tried the route "to get an updated video driver.

    I have never changed the video driver on your laptop before. How can I change the video driver on my laptop that is compatible with Win 10? I mean, I can't because it is coupled with the video inserted into the laptop?

  • Updated for FireFox 11 and I keep getting "compatibility check Add-on" when I launch the browser.

    I've just updated to FireFox 11 and whenever I run the browser, I get this annoying window that checks for compatibility of modules.

    I looked for solutions and have tried the following:
    1 remove several extension files in the profile folder.
    2 returning to about: config to disable the extension: checkcompatibility (is not here).

    None of them worked.

    Have you tried to delete the prefs.js file?

    What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?

    Some security software has features of virtualization that can cause protection problems and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
