Firefox-Hilfeforum

Does not matter whether I have open tabs or not. The browser just closes without warning. No crash reports are generated nor windows that open that say the browser has crashed. When I re-open the browser none of the tabs I was working with open back up.

I began to have printing problems which may have been triggered when printing from the Firefox browser. I did not isolate the trouble with Firefox, but I did determine the cause was an installation of Windows Internet Explorer version 11 which was installed automatically on a Windows Update. I am running 64-bit Windows 7. I determined V11 was the problem by removing updates one at a time then printing from several programs I use like WORD, Excel, Powerpoint, Adobe Reader, Firefox, and Thunderbird. The symptom of the problem was that I could print fine once or twice, but then the communication between the PC and printer (Lexmark S405 b/g) became busy and no other print jobs would complete, even those from two other PCs (neither had V11) that worked fine for printing any print job before an attempt from the PC with V11. Once I resolved the problem to be V11, I did not try to isolate if it was triggered by any print job or one from Firefox, but I a little suspicion that it could be triggered by a print attempt from Firefox since I know I was able to print once or twice before the problem was triggered.

Using FF 29.0 or 29.0.1, session storage seem badly broken.

All commands for restoring previous sessions are disabled (whether or not they are from an extension), and even when the browser gets restarted (for example when an extension is installed or updated) all the sessions get lost: I click Restart in the extensions tab with 10 different tabs opened, and the restarted Firefox window contains NOTHING but the default startup page (on which, by the way, the search box doesn't work at all).

Before someone asks, I've already tried all the standard suggestions:

1) Tried with a new empty profile with NO extension at all 2) Tried deleting ALL profile info, uninstalling FF, then reinstalling and using the default empty profile with NO extensions whatsoever

And the problem is still there: session storage does not function (sessionstore.js doesn't get created).

The only thing that solved the problem was reverting back to FF 28, which I have done.

(By the way, this bug led me to discover another thing which I consider a total ergonomic failure: in FF28 the "check for updates" button in the about dialog MUST be called in another way: this button DOES NOT check for updates, it INSTALLS updates! In fact, if clicked, it does not check and tell me if a new version is available: if the new version is available, having clicked "check" is interpreted as "Download and immediately install the update", and NOTHING can be done to stop this when clicked; even closing FF results in the updated version being installed as soon as downloaded, and the only way to get back to the previous version is to download the specific installed from mozilla and reinstall it! This is NOT a version check, this is a forced update a la M$!)

Any other suggestion form the experts?

After windows Updated my computer Firefox won't start. I tried a clean reinstall two times, won't work. When I tried to start the firefox the first time after booting my computer it comes with the following message.

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/update.xul Line Number 14, Column 1:

Any Help would be greatly appreciated. I like firefox and I'm using it the last 7 Years.

Thanks

I know it's been extremely difficult to find cached audio/video files since Firefox changed how cache works, but I used to be able to find them with IE. Since I had to upgrade IE, and Adobe Flash player, I'm not finding audio files from a site that used to be stored on the PC. I've tried IEcacheview, and various addons for Firefox, but nothing works. Any notions on how to get the files cached? I dont want to record them.

I am setting up SSO in a corporate environment using CAS/Jasig to authenticate to the corporate LDAP using SPNEGO (Kerberos). When I attempt to access the secured resource in my FF browser, the initial Negoiate challenge is sent from CAS/Jasig and FF responds with a NTLMSSP token. CAS/Jasig dutifully responds back with another Negotiate header which, if I'm following everything correctly, FF is supposed to use to establish a Channel Binding Token. The call to function InitializeSecurityContext fails with a return code of -2146893054 and the auth process fails over to "challenge user for credentials" at that point.

What I've done

• verified the CAS/Jasig server can communicate with the LDAP directory using Kerberos. Server keytab file is fine, test run using the hadoop library's KerberosTestUtils class works perfectly.
• verified the client has Kerberos tickets - in fact, the klist utility from M$ says there are 29, including one valid today from one of the 4 AD domain controllers used here.
• rummaging about the iwebs, code -2146893054 corresponds to (I think) M$ SEC_E_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION exception. Docs say the this usually means an invalid context attribute flag was sent to the function. I've attempted the auth several different ways with negotiateauth debugging set to 5, but it doesn't seem to matter whether the session uses REQ_DELEGATE or REQ_MUTUAL_AUTH or both or neither (these are the only 2 configurable flags I can see in the source code for the nsAuthSSPI::GetNextToken function, which is where the error is thrown). The 2nd call to InitializeSecurityContext fails regardless
• other iweb sites indicate this error could be a mismatch between the client & the server, either in system time or encryption level required. I've verified that both the client machine and the CAS/Jasig server have system times within 2s of each other and both are requiring 128 bit encryption

I'm stuck now - near as I can tell, FF is supposed to shoot back another Authorization token in response to this 2nd Negotiate challenge to establish a secure channel, but none is being sent due to this error. I'm also confused why FF insists on sending an NTLMSSP token - why won't it send a Kerberos token? Any guidance as to where to look next would be appreciated.

I'm at my wit's end. I've installed the latest version of jre (7u45) and everything went well. Followed all the instructions here (http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_Java) and here (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/manual-plugin-install-linux-136395.html) on setting up symbolic links and all. libnpjp2.so is now happily residing in my /usr/lib/browser-plugins folder. And when I start Firefox, nothing appears under Plug-Ins.

I've tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling both java and firefox numerous times to no avail. Firefox absolutely refuses to recognize java. Not sure what to do now.

firefox 26 doesn't work with comcast email. won't keep me signed in; won't show whole inbox in either full or lite; won't allow me to get to preferences; drop downs only work with arrows. I could just keep going.

Earlier this week they worked fine.

After starting firefox, 5 to 10 seconds in it will just spontaneously close. I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox more times than I care to admit. (In fact, I have completely deleted the entire appdata local mozilla folder before installing) I have started in safe mode, still crashes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash, java, and several other things. Still crashes. There is no crash report. When I go to about:crashes, it has nothing. (I need to go there quickly, because after all, it crashes!)

I've read dozens of similar articles, and have carefully tried the directions of every imaginable response, and still it crashes. Resets, reinstalls, disabling addon, safe mode, everything. No other browsers on my system (windows 7) is giving me any problems whatsoever.

Please, tell me how I can use it without crashing, and please please please release a fix!

Hi all: since the update to version 26 Firefox doesn't start with the extension of Dashlane enabled. Chrome is working just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated

this is for you who have a problem with www.fnvfox.com/thankyou.html - the solution is kinda simple

1- goto C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\
2- run search in this folder with advanced options (+search system folders, +search hidden files and folders, +search subfolder) in the SEARCH FOR FILES OR FOLDERS: ".js" and CONTAINING TEXT: "appspot"
3- it should find a file "OVERLAY.JS" ****MAKE A COPY SOMEWHERE ELSE**** right click and choose EDIT (if edit not avalible OPEN WITH - NOTEPAD)
4- Select everything between " this.STATUS_BAR = "status-bar"; // firefox 3.6 and below " and " // stringbundle consts " and delete
5- Now press CTRL-F or EDIT--Find and search all the instances of " b.selectedTab = b.addTab(self.TY_PAGE_FULL_PATH); " DELETE ALL THE QUOTED CHARACTERS OR YOU WILL NOT BEABLE TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING
6- (OPTIONAL) after " b.selectedTab = b.addTab(self.TY_PAGE_FULL_PATH); " there is a "1200" replace with " 1 " DO NOT DELETE " ) " OR YOU WILL NOT BEABLE TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING

I am using the latest Firefox (28.0) on Windows XP in a shared computer environment. Although I do not have Administrator access, I installed Firefox myself and can change whatever Firefox config settings I want (including about:config and mucking with the files in the installation directory).

I want to disable the tab that appears on Firefox startup, "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on". This tab usually appears once per day (the first time I startup Firefox each day). I want the tab not to appear at all, from now on.

The "another program" in question is some program that is used in the facility where I'm using the computer, so I can't just uninstall that program. Although this is a shared computer environment, they don't "wipe" the machine every day, just reboot. So the Firefox I installed is still there with all my config settings intact. As far as I know, I'm the only person who uses Firefox on this computer.

Solutions that don't work:

"Just click Continue" -- but then I still see the "Another program" tab every day, and don't want to see it.

"Click Remove in the Add-ons list" -- I removed the Add-on in question but the tab still appears every day.

I would like a solution that either eliminates the Add-on request for that particular application, or eliminates all such requests ("Another program...") regardless of what application requested it. The ideal solution would be if the request itself had a checkbox for "never ask this again" but, alas, no such luck.

i am trying to install an Extension to every users of my Computer using the %MOZILLA_DIR%\distribution\bundles\MY_EXTRACTED_XPI_GUID_FOLDER (windows computer). When i first run Firefox, it shows a warning page (about:newaddons....)

I can't affort to disable this about:newaddon{GUID} which ask me if i want to enable this new addon or not ... i have tried many default_pref values but none seems to be working...

Is there a way to automatically enable this extension ?

Using Firefox 27.0.1

That's pretty much it. When I try to open Firefox, the Update window pops up and it says "Checking your add-ons for compatibility with this version of Firefox", and then "This may take a few minutes". The last time I timed it, it was at 14 minutes before I canceled it to try something else.

The dark gray background doesn't provide enough contrast for the title of the tab, so it takes an extra moment to read it. That's a time-waster and a nuisance. Is a fix in the works?

Several days ago (approximately 12-3-20) my Internet Download Manager add-on stopped working. Removing it and reinstalling it by using a link provided by IDM does not work. It will work only if I open the webpage where I intend to download (e.g.--YouTube) BEFORE I reinstall the add-on and only for as long as that page remains open. Closing the page and then reopening it somehow deactivates IDM, as it will no longer link to the video I want to download. Have tried everything i can think of to solve this, including deactivating all other add-ons and by uninstalling and reinstalling the IDM program itself. I also unchecked the "block popup windows" management tool within Firefox itself. Anyone have any ideas what is happening? Initially, I also received the error message added below, but as far as i can tell, none of my other programs are set to block IDM. The error message no longer appears.
