Firefox and Stumble...

Anyone ever seen this error message when trying to load Stumble onto Firefox browser?

I sent a message to Stumble and got a suggestion that didn't work. I've asked for another suggestion but haven't heard back yet. Thoughts?

In the log, the line in bold is highlighted...

var extensionSectionHeader = "[ExtensionDirs]\r\n";
fos.write(extensionSectionHeader, extensionSectionHeader.length);
for (var i = 0; i < validExtensions.length; ++i) {
var e = validExtensions[i];
var itemLocation = e.location.getItemLocation(e.id).QueryInterface(ns ILocalFile);
var descriptor = getAbsoluteDescriptor(itemLocation);
var line = "Extension" + i + "=" + descriptor + "\r\n";
fos.write(line, line.length);

Nope never seen or even heard of that.

What version of FireFox are you using? The latest stable, or beta

Re: Firefox and Stumble...

It's a stable version of FF. I was referred to this page by Stumble. I could spend an hour trying to figure out which of the four different reasons is causing me trouble or I could install it onto IE. Done! lol

Installing themes or extensions may fail with the message, Unexpected installation error -203. (If this occurs after a Software Update you may find that add-ons that were previously installed also do not work.) Follow the above directions to remove corrupt extension files. [14] If the problem is not resolved and you use ZoneAlarm or CA Firewall, disable it temporarily (enable Windows Firewall in the interim) to allow the installation. [15] If the problem persists, your profile may be corrupt (bug 361358). Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile [16] or create a new default profile [17] and then transfer your data to the newly-created profile.

Those instructions

Files that store information about the extensions you have installed can sometimes be corrupted. Deleting them can fix a number of extension issues; they will be regenerated the next time you start Firefox. [12][13]. Exit Firefox completely, then open your Firefox profile folder (read the linked article for its location) and delete* these three files:

extensions.ini
extensions.cache
extensions.rdf

* 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 3 files as , 'extensionsOLD.ini', 'extensionsOLD.cache', 'extensionsOLD.rdf'

That linked article: Profile folder - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

Seems pretty easy
