Installation of Firefox 14/15 paralyzed some gadgets and Gmail

27 August 2012 Firefox upgraded to version 14 and asked to import bookmarks etc from IE I do not use so I said no. Firefox started with nothing in my profile. I had to do a system restore to get back. Gadgets calendar, Comics and Unit Conversion does not. Gmail support in HTML, the standard version would not be responsible. I do not know if something else has been damaged

August 28, 2012 Iwas while trying to sort things, I noticed that Firefox was download another update, this time in version 15, I installed this version, but the previous installation problems persisted.

Windows 7 Home Premium operating system
Dell Inspiron Portable 64-bit recently bought
It's the first time that I had problems with the update of Firefox

SOLVED

In addition, this may seem random, I know, but could you try to disable the function of acceleration of Firefox the graphical device?

You need to restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > advanced

In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

If you restart Firefox, is the problem solved (or at least enhanced)?

  • Why firefox does not save some username and passwords and names of other not - especially for the same website?

    I use several different accounts LogMeIn, each with their own username and password. Is there a month, Firefox stopped asking to save the user name and password for the new accounts I have access. I even deleted all accounts and began more - most of the time I will ask you to save the information of connection but other LogMeIn accounts that I access Firefox will not be asked to save the passwords. You can provide any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I had this taken care. After removing all the old names of login and passwords, you must restart Firefox with a hot start.

  • How to create a custom installation of Firefox?

    I would like to install a customized version of Firefox on multiple computers. I want to customize Firefox in the following way:

    -Set the default language to English.
    -Set the default Google search engine and set the default Firefox search engine language to English.
    -Open new tabs by default (instead of new windows).
    -Set the homepage of a particular web site.
    -Preinstalled with a PDF Viewer.
    -Preinstalled with some extra plugins.

    I would like to create a unique customized version of Firefox that I can distribute to these other computers, rather than do all the installation program by hand. These machines will probably be Windows, but I work from a Mac. I know how to make some of them on my own installation of Firefox (for example, to change the subject: the configuration file, change my preferences) but do not know how to do something I can deploy.

    How would I achieve that?

    By default Firefox already does almost all of these (language, new tabs instead of windows, built in PDF reader, etc.). If you want to deploy additional parameters, http://mike.kaply.com/cck2/ might be able to help.

  • Since the installation of Firefox, I can no longer post to a group of goole - even after clearing cache / cookies as suggested

    I can connect to the uk d-i-y group, but when I try a post an error message / try the message later. After clearing the cache / cookies as Google indicates that the message is that the application needs updating - refresh page. Tried to re-Assembly of the group but no change.

    Sorry for the delay in my response.

    I know that certain features of Google are not compatible with other browsers, but those who are for the most of the features of Gmail and Google Drive. You should always be able to access your Google Group.

    There is the chance that an add-on or plugin installed in Firefox is the origin of the problem. To learn, you can try the Mode without failure of Firefox.

    Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables some settings and disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    (If you are using an additional theme, place you in default theme.)

    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Mode without failure of Firefox in the Help menu by clicking on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item:

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    The report please come back shortly.

  • The best way to remove/uninstall a double installation of Firefox (1 current to be preserved, 1 old/obsolete version which turned out Secunia be eliminated)?

    I had not considered the release of Secunia PSI in awhile until yesterday and was surprised to discover that he pointed out an old version of Firefox (v27.x) that was obsolete and should be removed. The installation path for this v27.x entry is in a completely different subdirectory structure of Firefox C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla in which resides the current installation of v36.0.1 - obsolete version is installed in the structure of C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox where «...» "refers to my specific user name (which is legitimate, I'm the only person using this desktop computer).

    I started using Revo Uninstaller (licensed version) to force the uninstall of this executable specific v27.x, but after analysis that he presented purpose actions that would run the uninstaller integrated and identified that v36.0.1 would also be removed simultaneously. Is there a Protocol by which I can remove the old version and all of its entries in the registry without affecting the current version and its registry entries (and profile, etc.)?

  • Error with creating an installer of Firefox customized with 7zip

    Hello

    I tried to create an installer of Firefox for Windows, in accordance with the instructions on the following page:

    http://Mike.kaply.com/2012/02/14/customizing-the-Firefox-Installer-on-Windows-2012/

    I followed the instructions in the section "how I decompress the installer of Firefox?", "how I group my add-on with the installer of Firefox?", and "How to repackage the Installer?", on this agenda, including measures to integrate the modules in Firefox ( http://mike.kaply.com/2012/02/09/integrating-add-ons-into-firefox/ ).

    However, when I open the final .exe, 7zip automatically attempts to extract the content, and I get the following response from 7zip: "the system cannot find the file specified." I'm not sure if it is purely because I didn't install MozillaBuild, as all stages until the final .exe running seem to work. Or maybe I did something wrong, that my changes in the preferences file are not implemented. Maybe the solution is obsolete?

    I will be happy to provide all the relevant details, such as Windows OS, version of 7zip, Firefox browser version, etc.

    Thanks for all your help! I actually ended up solving my problem, after a few failed attempts. Here is the solution:

    When http://mike.kaply.com/2012/02/09/integrating-add-ons-into-firefox/ said that you "create a directory with the same ID as your Add on...» ", reference is made to the ID in your install.rdf file. You need to go to yours, find the ID field, then rename your directory/XPI to this ID.

    There are two fields of identification in your install.rdf file. You want one - one CCK2 invites you to write like an e-mail (for example, "somename@somedomain") address. The second - I think - is a constant, because it is the same ID than that of XPI Hello world of Mozilla.

  • My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files. How do I take the old bookmarks if there is no backup?

    My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files on the old drive. How do I take the old bookmarks if no backup exists, or has been completed? Does not save bookmarks of FireFox auto? If, then what is the file name and where is normally stored by FireFox?

    In fact, it can be easier...

    If you have the old drive connected as, say, drive E, go to:

    E:\Users\username
    

    Then click in the address bar and paste it after this and press ENTER to open it:

    \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Normally, you have only one file, which has a random string followed by "default." In this case, click on this file and find the subfolder bookmarkbackups.

    If you find multiple profile folders, look inside to find the most recently updated backups.

    To restore the backup files, see: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer

  • Fixed a crash issue repeated with a new installation of Firefox on Windows 8.1 28

    It is not so much a question as a contribution to the solution.

    On a new computer running Windows 8.1 a new installation of Firefox 28 has been repeatedly crash or freeze ("no response"). Loading pages can be slow and scrolling in staircase. Totally unusable, especially after playing content with Shockwave.

    Although I had not installed the plug-ins outside Shockwave and Adobe Acrobat, I have had a look and was surprised to see that I had never asked. I disabled those I don't think I need:
    Intel's Identity Protection technology
    Photo Gallery
    WildTangent Games App alarm presence V2.

    Since these disabling Firefox works well. But I was forced to use another browser for a week until you find the time to research the problem.

    Why are these called not - for and of course (at least one) annoying plugins installed by default? It does not have any good Firefox!

    Plugins are not included in the Firefox download, because Mozilla is not allowed to distribute. Firefox automatically detects the plugins on your system through a number of methods, so it was a good idea to revisit and disable those you don't need. I have really no idea whence the special ones.
