upon firefox update this morning, every window opens with error: CaptureMovieFox could not be initialized. Some files of the extension may be missing or there is a problem with the Firefox.

upon firefox update this morning, every window opens with this error in a popup: CaptureMovieFox could not be initialized. Some files of the extension may be missing or there is a problem with the Firefox. when I close the popup, the original window opens seemingly without issue.

You should disable the CaptureFox AddOn. That is the way to fix it until someone fix the AddOn.

visit this and find the compatible version of this f***ing firebug. which certainly has nothing to do with us (not-programmers). i have been having this problem for months but now the last link worked for my firefox 6. Find yours here.

Disabling would be a good idea if I knew how to disable just capturemoviefox not all extensions.
