Troubleshooting

  • Poorly designed or incompatible extensions can cause problems with yourbrowser, including make it crash, slow down page display, etc. If youencounter strange problems relating to parts of the browser no longerworking, the browser not starting, windows with strange or distortedappearance, degraded performance, etc, you may be suffering fromExtension or Theme trouble. Restart the browser in Safe Mode. OnWindows, start using the "Safe Mode" shortcut created in your Startmenu or by running firefox.exe -safe-mode. On Linux,start with ./firefox -safe-mode and on Mac OS X, run:

    cd /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/
    ./firefox-bin -safe-mode

    When started in Safe Mode all extensions are disabled and the Defaulttheme is used. Disable the Extension/Theme that is causing trouble andthen start normally.
  • If you uninstall an extension that is installed with your user profile (i.e.you installed it from a Web page) and then wish to install it for all user profilesusing the -install-global-extension command line flag, you must restart thebrowser once to cleanse the profile extensions datasource of traces of thatextension before installing with the switch. If you do not do this you may endup with a jammed entry in the Extensions list and will be unable to installthe extension globally.
  • If you encounter strange problems relating to bookmarks, downloads, windowplacement, toolbars, history, or other settings, it is recommended that you trycreating a new profile and attempting to reproduce the problem before filingbugs. Create a new profile by running Firefox with the -P command lineargument, choose the "Manage Profiles" button and then choose "CreateProfile...". Migrate your settings files (Bookmarks, Saved Passwords, etc) overone by one, checking each time to see if the problems resurface. If you dofind a particular profile data file is causing a problem, file a bug and attachthe file.
