Blocklisting extension on Firefox no longer works, what do I do?
I noticed that the extension blocklisting no longer works on Firefox. I checked the extension.blocklist options in topic: config and all of them are set to default values. My other laptop has still the extension blocklist working, but the one that I use does not work. Anyone know what files are associated with the extension blocklisting? Because I want to be sure that the blocking of the extension doesn't work, just in case I have download a malicious add-on or extension. I have already two Add-ons that are on the red list, but Firefox is not blocking them, which are: MetaStream 3 Plugin 3.2.2.26 and McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.4.1.123
Nevermind, I fixed the problem. There were some defective files in AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\nuutfn45.default\
The following files were defective:
Name: blocklist.xml
Question: He had less blocklisted than other plugins, MetaStream 3 Plugin 3.2.2.26 did not appear in the blocklist.xml and it did not display the warning "MetaStream 3 Plugin has been disabled due to problems of stability or security." Blocklist.XML also highlights the entries in pluginreg.dat tell Firefox what Add-ons to remove the toggle button, which is normal. But if the add-on is not listed, then the entry in pluginreg.dat display toggle button.
Name: pluginreg.dat
Question: This plugin didn't remove the button toggle a blocklisted plugin as it should normally, if I could activate the MetaStream 3 Plugin whenever I wanted to.
Name: pluginreg.dat.bak
Question: This file is a backup of the file pluginreg.dat defective
So if anyone has a problem with blocklisting not activated as it should, then delete the files that I listed above.

No way to get anything wthout return to the start page of Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox and put it back on and it was always the same thing with the non operation of the opaque tabs. Troops you have good ideas as to how I can get my Firefox working again?

Just upgraded to the new version and now adjust no longer works, what is the solution?
After the upgrade to a newer version the shrink to fix the width of the screen no longer works. What is the solution?
Code changes for the HiDPI landed in Firefox 22 and later (bug #844604).
You can change the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and increase or decrease the value of 0.1 or 0.05 as follows to adjust the size of fonts and other elements in Firefox.
- The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref is a string parsed in float value and allows you to adjust the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) specifically (resolution 0.1 or 0.05).
- You can use values between 0.05 and 1.0 to reduce the size of the elements or use a value greater than 1.0 to grow and enlarge the elements (percentage divided by DPI, % / DPI).
If the web pages must be adjusted after changing this pref so you can watch Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint.
- Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
- NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

Hello, about a week or two ago, Firefox has stopped working. All I get is "problem loading page: connection has expired. This has been my default browser for years and have never had this problem. At first, I thought it was the internet connection, but all browsers IE, Chrome and Safari work. I loaded the upgrade hoping that would fix it, but not always. I have also 'reset Firefox' according to the troubleshooting help. It still does not work. Any thoughts?
Hello, normally these problems are caused by a security/firewall software which does not recognize and therefore blocks the new versions of firefox. If please delete all the rules of the program for firefox to your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

I mean, it worked perfectly in 11.10, what past?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

Hello
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.
You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).
Then perform the following steps:
- Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
- In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
- You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
- Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:
