Force the installation of an add-ons
There are public computers in our personal space. They are both locked by GP. We have them up to auto sign in Auditors invited when you switch on the device. Every time that you start the machine, it resets the local profile empty. So nothing can be saved locally. I modified the pref.js file to clear cookies, history etc when the browser is closed.
In any case, I found an add-on called fox public. (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/public-fox/). It's a pretty cool add-on and it is ideal for our implementation. However, we want public fox must be installed on Firefox all the time. Is it possible to change a (non-local) file that installs the add-on.
You can try to install on the extensions folder shared in the Firefox program folder. On Windows 7 x 64, that would be here:
C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\browser\extensions
It is possible that the guest user will receive a prompt to approve, as it is not already in the database of modules; I haven't checked that.
Firefox also checks the registry for external extensions (for example, the kind added by security software). On Windows 7 x 64, I find those here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions
Or the other of these approaches work in your environment?

I can't see the list of my Add-ons (extensions). It shows me a blank page.
After that I updated firefox 42.0, I can't see the list of my Add-ons (extensions). I see a blank page instead. Modules work, but I can't manage/uninstall any of them.
It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.
Delete the files (extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.
New files will be created if necessary.
See "extension corrupted files:
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled extensions or is not compatible in "Firefox button/Tools menu > Modules > Extensions ' and then click the Tools button at the left end of the search bar to check if there is an update available compatibility.
If this did not help, then also delete the addons.json file.
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

Firefox will not shoot to the top of page Add-ons and can never end updates.
As others have had it, I had the same problem with Add-ons compatibility check after upgrading firefox. He has never progressed so I ended up following the steps, others responded to other issues by removing compatibility under the profile folder files, and other files. None which seemed to work. I found myself completely remove firefox and reinstall, but which did not help. I really need to install firebug, but when I try to download it just hangs up and never even begin to download. Hope this is enough detail. Thank you.
I think it was more a problem with the Mavericks. I expect the next update and it finally did after that I asked this question. Everything seems to be back to normal now.

How to open the Bookmarks Manager to add ons development
Hi I am a beginner and you are looking to write one ff Add. I'm stuck on finding a way to open the bookmarks manager with code. Say every time the browser starts I want to open the Manager of bookmarks as well. How can I achieve this? I use the sdk of ff.
You can use one of these URI chrome:
- chrome://browser/content/places/places. XUL
- chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.XUL
The first opens the Manager of bookmarks (library) and the second the bookmarks that you see in the sidebar.

Any way to install the Google search without Add-ons?
Firefox (at least on the version of Linux) does not include the default Google search engine. She also cannot be manually installed by navigating to google.com because it does not "add a search engine" in the pull down menu in the search bar. (I'm not settle for alternatives such as DuckDuckGo or Startpage.)
Is it possible to install it without the use of Add-ons?
This looks like a bug. The 'add search engine"for Google works for me on Linux. Google also has their own blue banner that appears whenever I'm doing a Google search saying "Set Google as your default search engine."
There is no way to manually edit search engines, however. The good news is, you don't need to keep whatever the module allows you to add a search engine. These modules are needed to get the search engine added. When you have added the Google search, you can remove the add-on.

Add on the window crashes whenever I select the button options
This has happened
Each time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to firefox 3.5 to 3.6.3
What is happening to me with all the Add-ons, but only since the Update June 24 my Firefox 3.6.4. When I opened Firefox after the update, all traces of my Add ons were gone (Zotero, StumbleUpon, ForecastFox, Delicious Bookmarks), although he said they were located in the window modules. Neither uninstalling and reinstalling modules individual, not more than all of Firefox, or uninstall Firefox and re - install Firefox 3.5 has worked to solve the problem and when I enter the window click options on any of the Add-ons and modules that window freezes, and despite the main window of Firefox is still functional, you must restart Firefox to release the window modules. I'm afraid that all evidence of my modules disappeared.
This, but described a part of my problem, but it seems not get quite the show or provide a solution.
Any thoughts?
- UPDATE *.
How that response could possibly solve the problem? I just rephrased the question! If I have an answer, help me help me please!

Registry entry to force the installation of the updates of the player?
Greetings!
I tried to deploy updates to the reader through our network via GPO, but it has been a real, real problem. In addition, because some client computers are connected through slow links at the time of installation is sometimes excruciatingly long (configured computer GPO).
SMS is not an option right now, so I think that rather than use GPOS to manage centrally the drive updates I lower my arms and leave the choice to the users. So my question is if there is some sort of a registry setting which will force the Player updates to install once they are downloaded from the Internet. Or, Alternatively, if it is a kind of login script available which would check if there's a player update available for installation and install it by force. Or, Alternatively, if anyone has found a better way to deal with the nightmare of the Reader GPO deployment.
Hello
Well, as you said, GPO would have been the best option to update through a corporate network. You can view the guide at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83709/attachments/Acrobat_Enterprise_Administration.pdf. It can give you some more tips on how to maybe change your settings in order to ensure a quick installation.
As your second question, you can use the option "Install updates automatically" for the Player update, which automatically installs updates as and when it downloads everything. The registry entry to set the same is as below:
Before Reader 10.1:
[HKLM] \Software\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM\
Name: iCheck (DWORD)
Value: 3
Post Reader 10.1:
[HKLM] \Software\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM\
Name: iCheckReader (DWORD)
Value: 3
You can set the same using a script for connection via GPO. This will ensure that all as updates and available will settle as soon as its downloaded, provided no process of the drive is running at this time here.
For more details on all the configurations on update preferences, please see the following document:
http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/837/cpsid_83709/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_Updater.PDF
Hope this helps

Firefox wasn't loading properly I tried to restart Firefox, then I restarted the computer that neither worked Web pages. Then I reset Firefox, that solved my problems. All transferred on the well but I had to re download all my add on. He had no problems there either. But when I tried to add more search engines to the search bar it gives me this message "sorry, you need a browser based on Mozilla (like Firefox) to install a search plugin.» I copy my old search engines more but I can't add any new.
Make sure that you are not blocking JavaScript.
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.

I just typed this places fast, it should help you get going in the right direction. You will need to tweak it accordingly for your project if
//Define our variables private var dbVSO:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("DBVersion"); //Persist the database version private var installedDBVersion:Number = dbVSO.data.dbV; //Pull the database version from localstorage private var currentDBVersion:Number = 2; //Used to check in the event of an app upgrade private var dbFile:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("sweetDB.db"); //Check if we need to create dbFile: if(!dbFile.exists) { createDB(); } else { checkUpdates(); } //Put this in checkUpdates function. //Check if the database is already created, but localstorage hasn't been setup... if(installedDBVersion == undefined) { dbVSO.data.dbV = 2; //Current install considered version 1 dbVSO.flush(); //Saves the information to localstorage installedDBVersion = dbVSO.data.dbV; //Updates our variable to reflect the correct status //Run the update function version2Update(); return; //We don't want to go any further. } //Check if the database version currently running is if(installedDBVersion < currentDBVersion) { //We need to do a database update. } /* You're probably making the additions to your database now. Meaning fresh installs will get the latest version of the database, so you won't need to run the update on them. Only existing users. */ //In your createDB function you'll want to handle setting the localstorage up: private function createDB():void { dbVSO.data.dbV = 2; //Current installs out there would be version 1? dbVSO.flush(); //Saves the information to localstorage installedDBVersion = dbVSO.data.dbV; //Updates our variable to reflect the correct status //Rest of your SQL database creation stuff.... // ... }
