Firefox Problems theme or addon diabled

Mjay06
The usually excellent Firefox is annoying me.

When ever I try & install a theme or add-on im greeted with:

'Software installation is currently disabled. Click Edit Options to enable it & try again'

So off I go to edit options, & nowhere is there 'enable software installation', ive looked through every menu on firefox & just cant find it.

Where am I going wrong? Its very annoying.

Have you tried to "Click Edit Options to enable it "?

I tried reinstalling netscape 1.5, & still had the same problem.

Being clever, i tracked down a beta version of Netscape 2, installed that & my problem had disappeared.

Unfortunatley, I now have another problem - being a beta, netscape 2 doesnt have any available themes or add-ons yet mad.gif

Firefox Problems theme or addon diabled

Replying to Mjay06
Its very simple really, open up the addons thing under the tools menu go over under themes and find the theme you installed and click enable I don't know why they had you go to options or whatever you said. Just go to the addons located under the tools menu on that handy little status bar that says file, edit, view, history, bokkmarks, tools, help. Yeah just click on the tools and open the addons menu. It should all be fixed after that.

    I have a serious problem with Firefox: the cookies for some sites do not work. In other words, when
    I'm logged into a site, like as the admin on my gallery for example, my session ends
    immediately. My session behaves normally when I'm logged into my email services, but my cookies
    behave really weird in other sites. I have two solutions to this, one drastic and the other not
    drastic. I can either format my computer and start from scratch, or I can completely rid of computer

    You can access your FireFox cache files by typing this "about:cache?device=disk" into your FF URL
    bar There is the cache directory will tell you the directory in which cache is stored, this is not
    IE and you'll not be able to browse by going to that directory, because its in encrypted form.
    If you want to browse your cache, you're in the page! The about:cache?device=disk is the disk
    cache page! browse around in here. This is completely different to what is temporary internet

    I have a serious problem on my main PC. Firefox refuses to open. It goes directly to the crash
    report, listing the add-ons that failed on startup. I managed to launch it from the Run window into
    Safe Mode, and again it crashed immediately, but this time only listed one add-on: MovePlayer. The
    uninstall instructions I found require a Firefox capable of loading. I'm running Windows XP and
    have no listing for Move in my Add/Remove Programs dialog. What's my next step?...

    doesn't show the animation. I even got the newest version of Flash. Firefox doesn't crash as
    much as IE but it does from time to time. I have ran spyware and virus software and nothing comes

    but my computer is 2 years old and it's out of warranty, and HP won't do anything unless
    they can charge me $45 for a one time call for support, or pay $99 for a 1 year extended warranty on
    my computer, and there is no way I'm paying money for a problem that isn't major. Well

    resorces from your computer. The reason some of these programs may fail or plain not work at all
    may not always be the OS's fault. The bigest problem with vista is the ram and proccesor usage.

  25. Html Editors Seem 'persona Non Grata'. - Problems with running HTML editors. (2)
    It looks like my PC has something against HTML editors. I use Coffeecup HTML Editor 2007 and I also

    another, eg. after editing do a save, or do a preview or whatever, both programs (Coffeecup even to
    a bigger extend) stop responding for a good while, quite often 45 secs.- 1 min minimum. You can
    imagine how much time that wastes during editing, not to mention the frustration it causes. My PC
