the PC is restarted, all firefox extensions are removed! # aargh
Since upgrading to Windows 10... Every time I restart my PC, I lose all of my firefox extensions, plug-ins are OK just the extensions are lost...
I'm going back to IE11 and permanently remove firefox... < < you have not all such extensions > > is a joke?

It's frustrating. Some of the programs which run at Windows Startup 'cleaning' can change the settings of your browser. Can you make sure that they do not affect the settings of Firefox files?
The next time that happens, could you check if there is a problem of a broken modules page or if extensions were actually removed? One of the reasons for the empty page add-on to have a list of extensions would be a corruption of database extensions Firefox. You can force Firefox to rebuild the files as follows:
Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
- (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
- type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:
- "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
- (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename these files you will find:
- compatibility.ini to something like compatibility - old.ini
- Extensions.ini to something like extensions - old.ini
- Extensions.JSON to something like extensions - old.json
- Extensions.SQLite to something like extensions - old.sqlite (may not exist depending on how long you have used this settings folder)
When you start Firefox back up again, he should study your profile folder and other files to rebuild the list. He will probably ask to approve you some of the extensions. Once things settle down, could you check back the page modules.
Reappear extensions - or are they really gone?
Also, you can start your profile folder Firefox containing your backup settings. This article has tips on it: back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

How to prevent the termination of function to the restart of firefox extensions
Three of my extensions are removed from my toolbar add-on and no longer do anything whenever I have to close and restart firefox. They are not disabled or removed the Manager of firefox add-ons, but I have to still uninstall and then reinstall to make them work. Extensions are, specifically, adblock plus, an anti-ad and missing e and Savior, two modules specific to tumblr tumblr. Because I've uninstalled and reinstalled the of their respective Web sites several times, I am sure that they are the most recent versions.
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See "create a profile":
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

The best of YAHOO. on Firefox extension - nag screen
The issue began a couple of weeks. When I visit the Yahoo! News (news.yahoo.com) website, I get a nag screen to install an extension called the best of YAHOO. on Firefox. I don't want to install the extension, so I have to click Cancel to continue. The nag screen continues to pop whenever I try to navigate to another point of press. I would like to know how to disable this nag screen permanently. I've attached a screenshot of the nag screen. Thank you in advance for your help!

One of my Office files contains three different Firefox configuration files created for upgrade to newer versions. These precedents may "Setup" deleted files without affecting the latest version I am running?
And the question of succession: immediately after the installation of a new version, this "Setup" file can be deleted?
A "Setup" of Firefox is not necessary once Firefox is installed. So yes, all files "setup" of Firefox can be removed.

I checked the folder %AppData%, but there is still no sign of the extensions that I had installed (which were about 10).
How can I recover it?
There is a profile folder by default with a file extension, it contains, but extensions were all parties.
Quite strange if, somehow it keep the settings. Cause when I tried to reinstall the extensions, it has applied the settings as I had before.
It fixed now, thank you very much.

The extensions have been working much earlier today. Firefox appeared Mid-Autumn Festival with a number of open tabs. I restarted and when it restarted I noticed that it lacked my LastPass connection tool in the menu. Checking the addons in the open menu option showed that all [Avast, LastPass, ePub, Logitech and Skype] extensions have been disabled. I tried to update, but no updates have been found.
Could you try to delete the files where Firefox has stored information on your extensions. The steps are in the position of cor - el here: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1052141#answer-704047
I think Firefox will regenerate the files the next time that you start it up again.

I realized a web page that uses svg images. One of them is here:
http://donwagner.dk/JZSS5.4.svg.The svg is produced by Adobe Illustrator, CS5 version. Seen in any browser, the images look good at any magnification, but when I print the page in Firefox, the image is blurry seriously, apparently because that pixelation uses the wrong resolution.
The same phenomenon occurs in all browsers, not quite as bad in Chrome, but still not perfect.
Do you have plans to fix this bug, or do you have a work around?
