• What I can do about it: after upgrading to firefox 6, I get this error. TypeError: Components.classes['@ [cid] is undefined?

  What I can do about it:
  After the upgrade to firefox 6, I get this error.
  When I click to open Firefox, a box opens with the following error message:
  JAVASCRIPT application
  TypeError: Components.classes['@ [cid] is undefined?
  When I click close in the box, then Firefox start. I just want to really get fixed error so that when I open firefox, I can't see this box.

  You need to understand what add-on is causing that error and disable it until the developer of this add-on fixes it. There may be an error on this issue in the Console error, accessible through the developer menu item Web or {Ctrl + Maj + J}.

• Since upgrading to Firefox 4 I lost my favorites and will not restore from my profile, also I often can't navigate to a page.

  Since the upgrade to Firefox 4: 1), I lost my favorites. (((2) if I go into my profile, there is no backups since 21 March (when I upgraded) and if I try to restore my favorites from backups in my profile, nothing happens (although if I look the .json file in textedit, they are clearly there) 3) when I start typing an address, Firefox gives me is more a suggestion of my story 4) (and possibly without) if I browse a site , via a link, I often can't navigate back (the grey towers left arrow). In other words, Firefox loses the story.

  This may be due to a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

• Firefox refuses to stop the blocking of pop-up windows - up, even with added exceptions and blocker completely disabled.

  I work in a facility that uses a corporate intranet to access our database. The database uses windows pop up widely important information. Problem is that Firefox absolutely will NOT stop block popup windows no matter what I try. At first I added our database server to the list of exceptions. It worked for a while, but soon after resumption of the important pop-up blocking. I then completely disabled the blocking of popup windows (options > > content > > unchecked "block popup windows"). It did not work until I closed and reopened Firefox. A week later (today!), Firefox takes over again blocking the pop-up windows. I double checked my settings to confirm that Firefox still claims to have the popup blocker off.
  At this point, I am at a loss on how to proceed. I looked at other issues similar and my frustration (and certainly their even more), individuals requesting repeatedly told them to turn off the blocker of popups even after explaining that they already have. Help would be very appreciated.

  Thanks for the description of the Firefox Safe Mode. I just thought that Safe Mode is a condition under which we could launch Windows XP in a minimal operating system by starting a startup sequence, hold down the F8 key and effectively manage the prrams troubleshooting and maintenance for Windows. It seems that the Windows XP of Firefox version could run not affected by a virus, a worm or other malware, and ge fixed.

  Please try this Linux distribution. They are many, and I'm a fan.

• Since upgrading to FireFox 6, I can't start Firefox in Avast Sandbox - get the error "this application has failed to start because xul.dll not found." Firefox works well outside Avast Sandbox.

  The error box has the right
  Firefox.exe - Unable to locate component.
  He suggests reinstalling might fix the problem, but I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox a number of times and no change.

  problem is Firefox works outside the sandbox avast, but inside the sandbox, xul.dll file is not found

  It is solved with these steps... some may be unnecessary
  (1) uninstalled Firefox
  (2) downloaded the latest version of FF (6.02) and installed
  (3) open the Avast user interface > extra Protection (in Avast v6) > Sandbox > Expert settings (button) > Web browsers > (in maintenance) "remove content" (button)
  (4) disconnected from Windows
  (5) connected and Firefox started in the sandbox

  It might be that the first 2 steps are not needed... but that's what I did and the problem was solved. As you can see in the screenshot, Firefox is virtualized successfully

• Flash playback problems since upgrading to Firefox 40

  I asked yesterday and received no response, so I'm posting again. Here a lot to hear some thoughts on what it is and how I could fix is, so I can update to the latest edition of Firefox. Anyone? Thank you.

  I was invited to move to Firefox 40 today, and as soon as I did, I started to have problems with video playback on YouTube and various other sites. The video has been slow, the sound is distorted. I have the latest version of Flash installed. Everything worked perfectly before the upgrade.

  Just to see, I went down to Firefox 39.0.3 and playback problems disappeared. So needless to say, I will not be upgrading anytime soon. Is this likely a Firefox problem, a problem of Flash, a problem with my computer? I am running Windows XP. Any help, thoughts would be appreciated.

  For future use, if you want to "bump" your message, you can answer yourself, you need not to make a new post.

• Since upgrading to Firefox 10.0.2 my AVG extension had to be disabled, because key after typing in any web address in the address bar, had no effect and I couldn't go to the site without pressing the arrow of charging on the right.

  I've recently updated Firefox to the latest version 10.0.2. After that I could not enter any website address and press the Enter key and get on the site, neither could I select a Web site in the drop-down list of sites visited previously. The only way I could get there by pressing the arrow to the right of the address box (reload current page). Once I disabled the extension AVG, everything worked normally. As soon as I activated the extension AVG, it stopped working again.

  Known issue. See:

  • http://www.avgforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=4 & t = 1726 #p6050

  Try what sc123 suggested the link above. Send an email to [email protected] with your full license key and let them know. I'm sure his AVG question not related Firefox. :))

• After the upgrade to Firefox 5, I get a message: "Firefox is currently in offline mode and cannot browse the Web." IE 9 connects to the web without problem. Suggestions?

  This began immediately to FF5.0 installation after the upgrade to FF3.6.18. I uninstalled and reinstalled both 3.6.18 FF and FF 5.0: the old version connects to the web without problem, but FF5.0 never does. IE9 is able to connect properly.
  Thinking that my firewall software (McAfee) might get in the way of FF5.0, I uninstalled, but remained the connection problem.

  Check this setting:

• I can get sound on internet explorer, but since v.4 Firefox can't get sound Web site. I use Kaspersky.

  I just installed v. 4. Worked fine until I was on a website and adjust the volume to decrease the volume. but I hit another key on the keyboard at the same time by accident. I havem not on mute. I tried to turn on/off computer. I can get sound itunes on firefox. On windows Explorer, I can get sound on the same sites on firefox and there was then no sound. I think maybe v. 4 has too many problems. Maybe I'll go on Safari, but I've always liked earlier versions of firefox. I use a HP with 4 processors. Good machine too. laptop. How can I go back to the previous version 3.6 or something like that. This c. Firefox reminds me of the microsoft updates, causing Troubé for me and my reading. Thank you, Robert Armstrong

  Hi Robert,.

  You can downgrade to v3.6.16 by downloading it from here: Download Firefox v3.6.16

  Uninstall the current version via Add/Remove Programs choose to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc. Then, restart and run the Setup file downloaded.

  Maybe you can consult the manual for your HP laptop. There could be a combination of keys inadvertently, you turned on is causing the problem.

  What questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode. Have you tried? If it works properly in this configuration, one of your modules is the culprit, but judging by what you wrote, I don't think in this case somehow special.

  I noticed that you do not have the Shockwave for Director plugin installed. Some sites that need for reading. You can download it here: Download Shockwave for Director

  It is also useful to check the status of your other plugins on the Plugins check page.

• Since upgrading to Firefox 4, I had no trouble. How downgrade and not lose my favorites? Or just downgrade without uninstalling Firefox?

  It does not load properly, freezes, crashes unexpectedly, don't pull up of PDF files from web sites and has problems with hotmail. I used Firefox for years and have never had this kind of problem. How do I downgrade to an older version? The new version 4 is obviously not ready to run and is riddled with problems.

  I was just made to look a right fool because of Firefox 4. My boss thinks now that I can't access a simple email! He has problems with IE and its home page had been hacked, so I installed Firefox (forget it automatically installed the most recent version) and it was horrible. The stupid browser will not open the Tiscali email in box for a reason, and he did look like I did something wrong, but it works perfectly fine on my computer running the latest Firefox 3.6. I downloaded 4 for a home use, because I thought that it would be even better, but it was horrible and I made a mistake in downloading it to my boss, thinking that it would make its use of the internet, better! Now, I had to uninstall loads of trash of its Internet Explorer browser and reset everything.

  All the buttons have moved, the tabs are in the wrong place and it is unresponsive! Why on earth have they trashed Firefox!
  

  To get back on track with my browser House, I didn't reactivate installing Firefox 3.16.6 (I kept the Setup file fortunately) and he replaced the horrible Firefox 4 and everything was back to normal. All my favorites and quick links were still in place.

  I think it's full of bugs, and my recommendation is to look for Firefox 3 and (without uninstalling Firefox 4) run the installer as usual to return to your old browser (much better and fully functional). It worked for me. If Mozilla Firefox 4 strength on me, I'll switch to Google Chrome or IE. It's HORRIBLE. Mozilla what you thought! Sort your act! Do not fix what is not broken!

  You can install all versions of previous Firefox from the link below.

  Download Firefox 3.6.16 here and return to the possibility of using your web browser, until they sort the darn bugs! I'm sure that eventually they will be fixed 4 issues so it works again. But seriously, 4 is a bad browser, ugly!

• Since upgrading to Firefox 34 no site load properly

  All sites are loading in a list.

  No idea where the "Firefox Security Component 1.0" extension "iseekdeal" from? You can try disabling or deleting that one if Firefox works normally in Safe Mode.

  More generally, in case of bad Add-ons, I suggest starting here:

  (1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Out as much garbage as possible here.

  (2) open Firefox page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

  Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  Any improvement?

  (3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

• Cannot get rid of the pop up windows

  Hi, I removed my Media Gallery because if gave me a lot of errors, or it would freeze my computer.  I went and deleted all VAIO applications because I do not use them, but now I get this message "Windows cannot find ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \Sony\Media".» Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. »

  Hey Brenlizz,

  What could be the problem, is that the program tries to start at startup, but since it is impossible to find the program error occurs.

  A solution would be:

  Open the start menu and type "msconifg" into the search bar. That must put in place the program system Configurtion.

  Go to the Startup tab and look for all programs with the VAIO or Windows Media Gallery.

  If you are able to find them, uncheck the box for this problem, it should disable start at startup, and hit apply.

  This should fix the pop up question.

  I hope this has helped!
