CCleaner Tools->Startup->Firefox and Firefox 22 Discrepancies


Recommended Posts

On my PC running Windows XP SP3, I just upgraded Firefox from 21.0 to 22.0b2 and

found discrepancies as listed under CCleaner's (v4.01.4093) Tools->Startup->Firefox

tab.

 

Under Firefox 21.0, CCleaner's Tools->Startup->Firefox tab was in complete agreement

with Firefox's "about:addons", showing 6 extensions (5 enabled, 1 disabled) and

18 plugins (16 enabled, 2 disabled).

 

After upgrading to Firefox 22.0b2, with NO changes in extensions/plugins,

Firefox's "about:addons" information stayed exactly the same, however CCleaner's

Startup->Firefox tab information was no longer in agreement. The tab's extension

information for the 6 extensions was in total agreement with Firefox. However,

the tab's plugin information showed all 18 plugins, but ALL were disabled, rather

than 16 enabled and just 2 disabled.

 

I removed Firefox's "pluginreg.dat" file from Firefox's profile directory,

forcing Firefox to rebuild it on next invocation. Firefox's "about:addons"

remained unchanged after reinvoking Firefox, however CCleaner's Startup->Firefox

tab plugin information still showed all 18 plugins as being disabled.

 

It looks like something changed in Firefox 22 to cause these discrepancies and I

would appreciate your investigation into this matter and await an update of CCleaner

to resolve this problem.

 

Thanks in advance!

could it have something to do with FF 22.0b2 being a Beta version?

Backup now & backup often.
