Below is the error message window that appears upon start up and (before) the browser tabs appear.


[JavaScript Application] CaptureMovieFox could not be initialized. Some files of the extension maybe missing or there is a problem wit the Firefox. You can try by restarting Firefox.


This problem started after I upgraded to Firefox 5.0.

Edited by a moderator.
If you want a divider line, such as I added during the edit, use 5 hyphen characters in a row.

I have been using Firefox 5 for some months now, but since last week, Firefox addons website doesn't recognize it as Firefox 5. For example, every time I try to install recently updated theme, there is a message saying it is "Not available for Firefox 3.5.8". Even this page where I'm typing my question now, where you say "We've made some educated guesses about your current browser and operating system", Firefox version shows 3.5.8, and Operating system shows Vista, but I'm using Win7. Why is this happening? Can you, please, help me?

Per instructions I tried to upgrade to FireFox 4.0 on my older iBook G4 and would not open. The FireFox logo had a white circle imposed on it. I was really stuck with the older version gone, and the newer one would not work. I managed to copy an older version of FireFox from another machine. Funny thing is that after loading the copy, I was still asked to upgrade to 4.0. All of this was very frustrating.
