They keep it redirect me to some site alibaba.com and a minnimum of 4 pop-up ads
Hi, you can try an adblocker as Adblock Plus, but maybe it's that you have picked up some malware, so if this is not successful, you can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one. Windows 8 already has integrated antivirus.

When you try to install a new Add On I get message "You need Firefox to install add-ons." and add to the occult Firefox button. Frustrating, because it is already installed of course to access the page in the first place!
You can enter Subject: config in the address bar, locate all preferences starting from general.useragent and ensure that they are in their default state (otherwise, a reset button will appear when you select them)?

Installed Firefox without add-on to display and 11. Tried to install Autofill Forms and I get the message "there was an error to install AutoFill Forms. Try Again"even for any other add-on. In addition, running Norton 360V6 and can't even see Norton Toolbar. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and 360 (the latter using Norton Removal Tool). Do not have this problem with Internet Explorer or Firefox 11 on my other computers. Just this one. An earlier version of Firefox plugins appears, but not no matter what Add-ons.
It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.
Delete the files (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) 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:

- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled extensions, is not compatible, 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 check of compatibility or to see if there is an available update compatibility.

now I use the latest version of Firefox (10.0). AprΦs the dΘmarrage, I open the Firefox browser. He always asks me to install the Add-ons that is already, I added to the browser.
Ex:
I installed the firebug add-on. When I open a browser he asks me to install firebug again. After installing the browser must be restarted to activate firebug
So please reply me for this problem
My guess:
You get a prompt to confirm what modules you have installed. There used to be a problem with other programs to install add-ons without your permission, and so many people knew they had these add-ons installed. Sometimes, these modules caused Firefox slow or unstable. However, there are some cases where people are aware of these modules being installed by third parties and they really want.So in a Firefox update has a few months ago, a single confirmation prompt was added to ensure that you are aware of all add-ons that are already installed and allow you to select those that you want to keep.
Here is a blog about the feature: http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/08/11/strengthening-user-control-of-add-ons/

Firefox 4 is unable to install add-ons. After download the 'installation' bar stuck in the beginning and never ends.
After that I updated to 3.6, FF4 to see any of my previous modules.
When you try to install the new, I see no error dialog box or message, just install bar is not going anywhere.To anyone out there yet with this issue.
The solution that worked for me was to create a new user profile.
Give it a try, if it works you can just move your settings and other things more.

With Extension manager CC cannot install add-ons on Lightroom
Help, please
Dear Alexander
Please tell us the name of the product you are trying to install Lightroom. Most Lightroom products install in the folder downloads to your computer. Please search for a ZIP file in the folder downloads to your computer.
Have you checked the section "where to Find It' page of the product on the site of Adobe modules? This should give full instructions on installing your new product in Lightroom. If it's not, and you still have problems, please let us know.
Kind regards

At the suggestion of Firefox, I refreshed, now all my Add-ons disappeared and worst parameters associated with them are gone too. Where I could find to put the 'old'?
When updating Firefox, it creates a folder on the desktop called "old Firefox data." According to Firefox, it's when my old settings were saved. The question to the community, it is where I can move some of these old settings (and what are those FireFPT) to restore my old settings. Time Machine using nothing else that place an old version of FireFox in my app folder.
I have several clients and staff that need to be restored as soon as POSSIBLE.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Cannot install add-ons for Firefox for Android
I have some add-ons installed. However, lately, when I try to install an add-on for Firefox for Android, I get an error message indicating that I have to install Firefox first.
Only, I use Firefox on my Samsung Galaxy S5 and would like to install more modules. Is there a setting that might make it appear the error message?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
MichaelLooks like you may have tried to install desktop Firefox extensions in Firefox Android.
You can change the section at the top where it says other Applications.

Certificate error when you try to install add-ons
I'm unable to install the extensions from past to version 13. Ive tried almost everything. Safe mode, uninstall, reinstall, delete my profile etc. All whenever I get is a certificate error. Even if I go to the Mozilla Add - ons of the his site blocked by a certificate error.
Using the portable version of Firefox did the same thing. We never seen it before?
Here is an example of what I see.

Nice day.
just bought the RN516 running OS6.4. everything looks OK so far. But while installing the module, I have noticed that it is never possible to install one of the Add-ons pre-registered through the want of the NAS page. I have always download and install manually. However, it has worked so far.
I do not think that the download/install treated well the websi NAS is supposed to "does not work.
Here, I have an idea or a genuine reason for it?
Thanks for the suggestions or recommendations.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Network and DNS settings of course is the 1st thing to check and there is / was no issue. Incidentally OpenDNS (208.67.222.222/202) is just fine and preferred on Google's servers at this time.
I opened a support case, and it seemed a file permission / access right issue. Factory reset & new configuration user solved the problem. Fortunately, I was just at the beginning of the installation.
What a relief :-)
Once again thanks for the help.

Do not click on to install add-ons
I've had the cameras installed at my place of work. Earlier, I had no problems with the download of the plugin and the opening of the site to see all the cameras. However yesterday I reinstall windows and firefox again. Now I try clicking on the link to download the plug-in but will pass nothing at all. (From the image below, normally when I click on "click here to download and install the plug-in. close the browser during the installation of the plug-in. ("the plug-in must be downloaded)
https://postimg.org/image/pf989urhv/
However anything happen now.
I try to use another browser to download and install, then in 'Plugin', choose 'install add on file', he says "this addon can be installed because she seems to be corrupted," here's the photo of the addon, I downloaded (I try twice)
https://postimg.org/image/52oo56wqr/
What should I do? PS. I try to use 'add images' below but it kept loading non-stop for more than 15 minutes already, so I try to display image in image hosting instead.
Hi ironbear,.
If no shortcut for the 32-bit version is added automatically, you should be able to find it in a new entry for all programs menu, or you can create a shortcut from a file Explorer. The exe file for the 32-bit version of Firefox is here:
"C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
Right-click on the firefox.exe file and select "create shortcut". You will probably be asked to create on the desktop instead of in the current folder. If this isn't the case, you can move there manually.
The cameras are working now and if your issue is resolved?

Modules, which are updated already installed and running (and have been for awhile), seem to think that they are not added. Looking at my modules in the Tools menu, they are listed as enabled. However, clicking to access their information page on the web (where you can read reviews, and where you initially chose to add them to Firefox), the "Add to firefox" button is available. (As opposed to some kind of "already installed" or button "Uninstall" or "Reinstall") I tried the button to see if pressing him THEN told me 'you have this', but it does not! He started to download the plug-in, I already have! What is going on?
Hello Amsuko, the "+ add to Firefox" button on addons.mozilla.org and similar sites is just a normal static element on the website. Web sites do not have the ability to query what extensions a user has already installed (it would probably be considered as a violation of privacy / security). When you install an add-on that is already present on your system, it will simply not be replaced...
