Issue

I have another kind of problem with Firefox

Description

every time I try to uninstall or even dump the earlier downthemall it comes back like a zombie and isn't compatible with any of the newer firefox's

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Extensions installed

I can't even tell what's running because they all insist they're going to update or uninstall when I restart, and then they don't

Firefox version

3.6

Operating system

Windows XP

User Agent

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Plugins installed

Try resetting the Extension Manager.
With Firefox closed, rename the following files in your profile folder:
extensions.cache
extensions.ini
extensions.rdf
and
compatibility.ini
They'll be re-created when you open Firefox.

Note : Although unwanted files/folders can be deleted, renaming them is generally considered a safer option. This achieves the same result, but allows the user to retrieve any possibly required information from them later on. In the case above, rename the above 4 files as , 'extensionsOLD.ini', 'extensionsOLD.cache', 'extensionsOLD.rdf, 'compatibilityOLD.ini'

Making sure Firefox closed:

Profile location:

You may need to show hidden files to locate your profile (W2K & WinXP):
