I have no updated addons or anything in the new Firefox 4. I can’t even open a link to an addon from somewhere on the web, I get a “Connection was Reset” screen when I attempt any links. The manager is empty always, even when I search for specific addons, extensions, plugins, etc. The only things I can see are the ones I already have installed/enabled. Does anyone know what this is all about? I’ll take any help on this one, anything at all…Thanks!!!

Click the options cog next to the search box in the top right of the Add-ons Manager.

On Firefox 4.0.1, I can’t find any “update” button in the Add-ons Manager. Such a button was present in FF 3.6. Where is it now? Or what else does this text refer to: “If you’d rather update your add-ons manually, or update manually for specific add-ons, it’s easy to do that from the Add-ons Manager”?

I see how to get new add-ons but I cannot seem to find how to manage those already installed. I’m having awful trouble with 4.0 hanging (not responding) and it was suggested to disable them. While loading is safe mode is all well and good, I’d still like to see what add-ons I may have working in the background currently.

There was time when https://addons.mozilla.org website could not be opened with Firefox 3.6 but could with earlier versions. It is repeating with Firefox 4, where it works with 3.6 versions. It has nothing to do with firewalls. Brilliant developers pretend ignorance persistently blaming firewalls.
Why cannot simply state it is your restricting policy, what ever reason it has

Generally, programmers have amazing brain circuits for what they do. Social circuitry component do not exist in their brain. Evidence – many software “improvements” people find annoying. If start of certain project was brilliant, why the f…. it has to be always degraded with common practice – take out what people liked and replace with new “better” functions. Firefox is remarkable sample of such behavior. Firefox is as good as supporting addons are. No addons no Firefox, period. If Opera would have equivalent addons it would be my number one choice, where same story repeats.

When Google Chrome came out I loved the speed of it and the only reason I did not give up Firefox was because my favorite addons such as Firebug & LiveHTTP headers did not work with Chrome.

Firefox 4 I like the speed enough to even dump Chrome for, however just like Chrome the add on’s I like don’t work the way they used to on previous versions.. Sure I have can get them to work with some effort but it’s not worth it for me, it’s easier to just go to a previous version of what works right after the install without any special tweaking.. involved…

Sooo back to Firefox 3.6 until… either a good http headers add on comes out for either chrome or Firefox 4 or I don’t need my favorite addon’s anymore…
