Plugin

[aloha]

Well, for two days I always get the message that an unallowed Plugin wants to do something and that I have to close Firefox for that. but then I can´t restart it and have to reboot my whole computer then.

does anyone know what that is? cause it´s only at this site and only when I start my computer first and go here then.

[aloha]

here´s a screen shot of the pop-up

[Ophelia]

Oh! I can't read that, its in German!

[aloha]

well, I described it in the first post, but it says:

Unallowed activity in Plugin
The Plugin has done a not allowed activity. It is adviced to restart Firefox


the thing is just I don´t know which plugin.

and I need help very very fast, cause I had to reboot three times today cuase of this sh*t

PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!! I always have to reboot! that sucks!!! I need help!

Go to Tool > Add-ons
Then take a screen shot of the add-ons window.

I want to see what, if any, plug-ins you have installed in FireFox. It could be that any plug-in that you installed may have been corrupted.

[aloha]

well, I only have a skype add-on

here you go:

Wait... that's a FireFox extension, not a plugin.

Uninstall the extension and restart FireFox. See if it still gives you the message.

1) If you don't see that message again, it was that extension giving you problems.

2) If you uninstall that extension and still see that message, you screwed something up in FireFox. I would back up your bookmarks and uninstall FireFox and re-install a fresh copy.

Try step 1 first.

well, the thing sis the pop up turn up randomly that´s the thing! I have no clue when it will come next!

and uninstall firefox? that means all my favorites will be lost?

where on my damn computer can I find out what kind of plugins I have and which one is the problem??

Gosh, what the f*cking hell is that???

I said try step one first! DONT UNINSTALL FIREFOX YET. Follow instructions, woman!

This screenshot you took:

Shows me you have no plugins installed, only one extension: SKYPE.

To save your favourites (or Bookmarks rather), I'm not sure how you have your Windows installed but this should give you an idea where to find it. For me, this is where my bookmarks are stored:

C:\Documents and Settings\Ph0enix\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ngkwiqvv.default\

For you, it might be something like:

C:\Documents and Settings\Aloha\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\

The ones there ^marked in red is what will be different for you. When you reach that location on your hard drive you will find a HTML file called bookmarks.html Save this file! bookmarks.html contains all your bookmarks. If you keep a backup copy of bookmarks.html somewhere safe, if you where to re-install firefox as a fresh copy, all you would have to do is go and find that same location

C:\Documents and Settings\Aloha\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\

... and take a copy of your bookmarks.html and overwrite the new file with your back up copy.



So, my German sphinx, Follow my first instructions:

Uninstall the SKYPE extension and restart FireFox. See if it still gives you the message.

If you don't see that message again, it was that extension giving you problems.

Yes, yes, the message comes up randomly. Well, if do you what I say and the message still comes up, let me know and await further instructions.

[Samson The Cat]

Do what Phoenix said and ignore my PM until you try out his suggestion first.

The ones there ^marked in red is what will be different for you

Most of the black stuff as well. Note, it's a German Windows XP version. ...

well, i try to see now with another provider if it still comes up. I guess it will only take a few minutes to see I just don´t know what the problem is! I never had it before! and it seems it´s only at Fanhost, all the other sites don´t have problems Can Marc help somehow? Cause I heard it could be something with the Flash advertisemend or something. So if it does not come uop anymore with this provider, what can I do then? cause then it really seems it´s something like this Flash thing?

You still seeing those error messages?

[aloha]

not for the moment, haven´t been here the last few hours, but no messages at that time when I was surfing here. and for all the other sites I use firefox normal, there are no problems, only here

Keep browsing the web and FH like a normal day. Until Friday comes, see if you still get that message. If it's one of the flash banners, let Marc know.

[aloha]

How can I find out if it´s one of the Flash-Banners? and what do you mean with browsing normal? well, I use another provider, but only for Fanhost cause the problem only is here. for all the other stuff I can use Firefox as normal oh and I just send Marc a PM and asked him if he knows something about that problem and also the link to this thread. I hope he can help me

Jesus Christ... please forgive this lost german child for she knows not what she does...

It means use Firefox like any other day, like any normal day, like you've always used it: for fanhost, for youtube, for rating guys in amihotornot.com, for whatever. Now that you've removed Skype, use firefox like nothing was ever wrong and see if you still get that error message.

well, I use another provider

Your provider has nothing to do with you browser problems.

[aloha]

Ehm, I haven´t removed this Skype thing, cause I wanna test with this other provider and for the moment it seems working without problem, but it´s not the best version, I want to use firefox normal again

In that case, thank you for wasting my time.

She's all yours, Monsieur Pussycat. I'm done.

[aloha]

Hey it´s not that it doesn´t help but Marc told me to maybe first install the newest version of Flash Player
