Firefox 44 with XN disabled and won't install

By Tr3b , 27 January 2016

For the longest time I have been using Cyberfox Portable.  I decided to give Firefox 44 a look.  So I copied my profile into Firefox folder and launched Firefox.  After the verification process of the addons, XN was visible and working.  I then checked the updates status and it noted that XN could not be verified, so I selected to update.  It tried to do it an update to XN, failed and then disabled it and will not start or load.

Has anyone else seen this?

I have the XN installer and tried adding the file but still come up with the verification error.  Going to see if I can install with no fresh profile and see what heppens.

I am not sure if I understand you(r english) correct, but I realize my instruction could be a lot clearer. I gather though you mean you are going to install XN in a fresh Firefox profile in order to exclude possible conflicts with other installed addons.  That is indeed the only reason I can think of for still having a problem after completing this:

  1.  Go to X-notifier Options and export your list of accounts (firefox.xn).
  2. Go to Tools - Add-ons, remove X-notifier and restart Firefox.
  3. Reinstall X-notifier from:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/xnotifier/
  4. Go to X-notifier Options and import your list of accounts (firefox.xn).

I am on another system and I took the same Firefox app folder and the same untouched Cybderfox profile folder, and I had no problem.  I will try again on the other system.  But at least we know it works with Firefox 44.
