Add-ons
21 Answers
I disabled my add-ons a little while ago and now I cant enable them again. Or that's how it looks!
For instance the 'WOT' add-on says it is disabled but there it is, working as usual but Ad-block Plus says it is disabled and it is.
If I click enable, the page goes white and nothing happens. I click the white page and all the add-ons re-appear but still disabled.
I am using Firefox.
Everything's working fine other than that.

If I had your problem, I would download the most up-to-date version of 'Ad-block Plus' and see what happens.
I honestly can't see that you will be in any a worse position by 'overlaying' what you already have.

Thanks for your answers but its still the same. I used Ad-block plus as an example but there are others.
vivandron, you seem to have found another problem (not the word I'm looking for) for me :). I tried to d/l ad-block plus but the installation bar barely starts and then...nothing. Same with the others.
JessicaEldridg, as you will see from the above, I cant get that far.
As I said, all seems to be working fine apart from this.
Once again thanks for your time.

Hi again, I have 15 add-ons, and they all are marked as disabled. No it's not running slowly. It might take a minute to a minute and a half to 'open' but then it is fine.
It just seems strange that all of them say disabled but some of them are clearly enabled.
Ah well I'll give it time and see if the rest of them magically re-appear.

You certainly have a hell of a lot of add-ons. The absolute maximum I would say. It will be interesting to see what happens when you are updated to Firefox 15.:-

Hi Ron. Agreed it would be nice if they stepped in every now and then. That said it doesn't seem to be much of a problem. It ran very slowly last night but is buzzing along now.
As an update, a few of the add-ons,well two actually, have re-enabled themselves!!
Re being updated to FF version 15. I have this machine set to automatically update but it hasn't happened. I've just checked and it says I have the latest version but my version is 13.0.1

If you are unable to update by clicking open FF 'Help' followed by 'About Firefox' I suggest you download the up-to-date version FF15 :-

Sorry ILM... I am unable to comprehend what you are now saying.... "Well apparently my system doesn't have the minimum system requirements to run this version. I'm running XP home SP3."
I would have thought that, as FF15 has a minimum requirement of SP2 for Windows XP , you have more than the requirement with SP3.

Have you tried downloading FF15.? I think it should work with XP service pack3; if I am reading correctly the following.:-

Sorry I must learn to explain myself better.
I clicked on the link you gave and clicked download. I saw the minimum requirements but the message I gave you was the one that popped up.
Oh when I click on the 'Help' tab and then 'about FF, it tells me I am on the release update channel. Is that normal?

Quite normal to be on the release channel....It's from where up-dates originate.
Try the download and see what happens. The worst could be that it doesn't install FF15....but you'll still retain the edition of FF which you already have in your computer.
Have you ever thought of using Google Chrome because, whilst I prefer FF, the majority of AB's Techies I feel sure have opted for GC... to which all sorts of Add-ons are available, such as AdBlock, WOT etc.
