Plugins disable (or reactivate if disabled,.)

While trying to find what add-on is hammering my CPU, I found another strange behavior while trying to disable plugins one by one: with some plugins (specifically, Foxit Reader, Flash and Silverlight), the next time that I restart Firefox, they are again enabled. After you turn off several times, finally, they remain disabled when you restart, but then I can't resume. (Same thing, but in reverse; Turn them on, but they come down to people with disabilities when restarting.)

At one point, I tried to disable Foxit and Silverlight and re - enable Flash. Everytime I restarted, Foxit and Silverlight would be turned on again and off again Flash. After only about five or six attempts over a period of two days, all of a sudden that worked.

All the world has noticed this behavior? I don't remember ever unwanted plugins problems before turning off.

Note: This isn't about plug-ins, extensions. And it's not on permanently disabling or deleting of plugins.

Hello, the problem you see can be #839728 bug that will be fixed in an upcoming firefox version. to work around the problem in the meantime, you can try to close all other tabs until you change the status of plugins in the add-on Manager (a restart may be required because plugins running in the background take awhile before they stop).

  • Typing becomes very slow in Firefox 3.6.11 in Mode safe mode with all extensions and plugins disabled.

    When I first start Firefox, all right. And everything is fine as long as I type in the text boxes on any web page. I can type in the address bar or search throughout the day with no problems.

    But, for example, just by typing in the edit box to ask this question on this site will result in the problem after I typed more say 150 characters. After this strike ANYWHERE in Firefox will be very slow, even the address bar or the search bar. It doesn't seem to matter what site use to type in the text. Cause the problem to occur after typing in enough strikes.

    Navigation & mouse clicking remains fast - it is only typing seems to be affected. In order to recover, I have to restart Firefox.

    If I look at the use of the UC Firefox.exe in Process Explorer, I see that once the problem occurs, the CPU usage starts whenever I type a key fortification. Indeed Firefox maxes one of my two hearts so the cpu is at 50%! He goes down to 0% again once I stop typing.

    As mentioned in the subject, it is in Mode safe mode with all extensions & plugins disabled. I'm running on Windows XP SP3 with an old AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core Processor 3800 + (1.81 Ghz) with 2.00 GB of RAM.

    I think it started to happen with Firefox 3.6 significantly (it's amazing how much time I can navigate without having to type), but it sometimes occurred with previous versions. Now he is annoyingly repeatable.

    I have to use '-no - Pei ForTyping distance "to start a separate session of Firefox that I use just to type in the text boxes, so I can restart at will. I also compose messages in an external editor and simply paste in Firefox to avoid typing as much as possible.

    This may be a problem with session restore. Firefox stores session data every 10 seconds to make it possible to restore a session crashed.

    It may be a problem with the sessionstore.js file in the profile folder

    Delete the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and all files files sessionstore-# .js with a number in the left part of the name as sessionstore - 1.js.

  • How to remove the old plugins in the add-on Manager

    That is my question. Add-ons Manager shows all of those I want to delete as persons with disabilities. The existing responses do not work because when I get home the Manager of the page the word "delete" is not there. (see attachment)

    Plugins are part of third party software that you have installed on your computer. To uninstall the plugin, you need to remove the application that has installed the plugin in the first place.
    This is not always desired. So I'd keep just those unwanted plugins disabled. They won't hurt.
    There are ways to fix the Windows registry so that these plugins are no longer visible for Firefox and therefore will not be displayed in the Add-ons Manager. But unless you know exactly what you are doing, you should not start playing with it.

  • Flash plugin crashing

    Hi all

    For these last days, Adobe Flash has been crashing in Firefox. Sometimes I'll see a second or so before animation it crashes, but usually, I just see the message "crushed" like the screenshot on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/adobe-flash-plugin-has-crashed. On some pages, it's just empty where I know the Flash component must be.

    From Firefox in SafeMode with plugins disabled does not help, although if I start * Windows * safe mode, Flash works fine.

    Go to https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html and by clicking the check now shows me my version of Flash, but the animation that appears just below the button block (rasthaus screenshot).

    I've done several complete uninstall/relocations of Flash and Firefox, including manually via C:\Users\username\AppData\Local and \Roaming and remove subfolders of Mozilla.

    I am at a loss here, any help you can provide is appreciated.

    Hey gang, I actually thought about it--I had forgotten that I had changed my FF shortcut to always run the program in Compatibility Mode Windows 7 as a way to try to make it work with the online provider portal. I disabled mode of W7, and everything is working again now.

    Thanks to all those who have begun to take a look!

  • InCopy Workflow Plugins - missing!

    This question is in reference to InDesign CS6, which I use for two projects for different clients.

    Project A, we are on an InCopy workflow, and I was happily using my assignments Panel to manage the text.

    Project B is picked then required a K4 workflow. It was installing plugins so K4 InCopy plugins disable.

    I received a script to quickly make the 'clean up' plugin as required K4 (a script that I now regret the use). When I came back to a project file has, of course, my assignments Panel was missing, and I can't find it anywhere.

    I checked my plugins folder; There is nothing in there more about InCopy or assignments. Nothing in my trash, either.

    Can anyone advise on how to restore the default plugins?

    Thanks in advance!

    Well, I'm back running with fully functional InDesign for both workflows.

    I ended up reinstalling the program. I managed to keep my preferences on uninstall it will affect anything. After reinstalling my plugins K4 remained and InCopy plugins have been restored.

    I created a game in the extensions Manager to facilitate the transition between the two streams of work.

    I blame the script, but I can't exclude that I can have manually deleted the InCopy plugins. I received a lot of pop ups when I launched the program, and it was confusing. Hard to believe that I have saved a copy of this folder plugin somewhere, but it is possible; I just wanted to get K4 run and I didn't know that it would conflict with the InCopy workflow and related plugins, panels, etc.

    I hope that this will be useful information for later use.

  • ssl error

    Hello

    When

    I opened a session with vClient connect to vCenter 4.0 and after

    fill out the credantials, an error message appears: "request failed because of an error SSL", however this

    message does not prevent access to vCenter. How can I stop considering this message?

    Thank you very much!

    ESX: vSphere 4.0 U1

    vCenter Server: 4.0

    vClient: 4.0

    Hello

    This could be due to an outdated plugin in the vSphere client.

    I suggest you try the following steps:

    Disable all Plug-ins in the vSphere Client.

    1 open the vSphere Client

    2 - Click on Plug-ins > Plug-ins to manage

    3 disable all Plug-ins by double-clicking it and selecting disable. (You can reactivate later using the same procedure)

    4 - restart your vSphere Client and check if the error still appears.

    If the guilty plugin is VMware vCenter Converter, make sure that it is upgraded to the latest version on the vCenter server.

    (for example this passage from 4.0.2 to 4.1.1 - r206188 solve the problem)

    5 - once updated the plugin on the server vCenter, reinstall it in vSphere Client using the plug-in Manager. You can also let the guilty plugin disabled in the vSphere Client.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards

  • Point video freezing HTML5 player but audio is fine

    I'm using the latest stable version of Firefox, but it seems every time I play a video YouTube every few seconds the video will freeze and sometimes the icon of buffering, but audio continues on the property. I use the HTML5 player and he doesn't do this using all other browsers. I tried to turn on/off hardware acceleration, but the problem persists despite everything.

    I did a reset of Firefox and plugins disabled who were not useful, and the problem seems to have disappeared, so it was a bad plug or a corrupt installation, I guess that.

  • Tried all your suggestions and always receive "Unable to connect" when using ANY search engine.

    Can't use any search engine of FF 40.0.3 on Macbook Pro model with 10.8.5 OS 9.2. Receive "Unable to connect" message when you try to use a search engine. Other than the search engine and Mozilla Web sites to connect properly. 40.0.3 on another Mac FireFox works fine without any problems.

    In addition, I can not access the FF "Get modules" page or the home page of Mozilla. Search engines will connect not their home page or the search bar. Problem just started. I had previously been upgrade and have resorted, FF 40.0.3 without problem when it was issued. Solutions of attempts included refresh FF, launch FF in safe mode, run with all plugins disabled, graphics hardware acceleration disabled. None of these fixed the issue.

    Had already tried your suggestions, without success, but has once again to be sure. Without success. However, I made a further exploration of my own and found out that IPv6 is set to "Link Local" only in my router. I have reset on 'Automatic', the router reset to update, and my problem was solved. So it was the IPv6 setting (unlikely) or the router reset (probably) that solved the problem, or it is your suggestions I tried and did not work, COMBINED with the router reset which solved the problem (quite possible).

    Thanks for the comments!
