I had the same problem while running Firefox 1.0.7. It occurred just after I had updated one of my extensions, I believe it was Tabbrowser Preferences. After unistalling the extension it went away. Upon reinstalling the problem came back. I uninstalled it and waited for an update to the extension that fixed the problem.

I have upgraded to 1.5 with absolutely no problems with my extensions.

I've deleted ALL my extensions, and the problem is fixed!
Now I'm having a problem seeing the Suduko puzzle on msnbc.com, but at least I can print it out. :confused:
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I've heard Version 6 was somewhat buggy, and while 7.0 seems a lot more stable I've also had one or two problems with it, outside of Firefox.

Using Acrobat 7.0 and still don't know what the problem is.

Try reinstalling Acrobat.

Anyone else have video in-browser problems after upgrading from 1.07 to 1.5? Now I only get sound, no picture! I've reinstalled Real Player and even tried Real Alternative; no dice. IE works no problem.

I got video to play at espn.com, but I noticed that the controls (stop, FF, rew) didn't work. I haven't had time to debug or try anything else.

And make sure you have the latest updates to Acrobat (one of them fixed an incompatibility w. FF) which means you should be running version 7.0.5.

Here's an article in today's Wired News about FireFox extensions:

Fortunately, Firefox is famous for its pluggable extensions architecture, which allows you to download little snippets of code that act as the software equivalent of small consumer electronics devices, only they are free...

Some extensions don't yet work with the new version of Firefox, but most actively maintained add-ons have been updated, or will be shortly. If your favorite isn't there yet, you can always e-mail the developer. They love that.

To get you started, here's a list of the Firefox extensions you absolutely can't live without...

name of password manager file?
 
I am expecting a new desktop. I'd like to copy the passwords and logins to the new setup. I don't know the name of the file. Does anyone have an idea how to do this. I don't think I even remember most of them.

Do a search on Google for "Mozbackup", backup the entire browser profile and simply move that to the new PC, then use Mozbackup again to restore the profile.

There are also Extensions for Mozilla that will export your entire password history to a text file, but Mozbackup is by far the easiest solution.

First half is done, and thank you! I'm expecting delivery Thursday and am getting organized.

Is anyone having problems with 1.5 on FlyerTalk? I'm having this weird thing happen where whenever I click on a thread or the MyFlyerTalk button it initially takes me to the link but then takes me to the general forums page. I then have to hit the back button and the 'Stop Loading' button after the thread initially loads so it doesn't forward me to the forums page. It's driving me nuts! Any ideas?

FYI in case anyone cares - I have the extension called 'RefControl'. I added www.flyertalk.com on it as being able to send referrer info (all others are blocked) and that solved the problem. I'm not sure why it would have done that, as I don't have problems with any other sites. But I'm glad to have it solved.
