This is not an accessibility bug. Please read the component descriptions (under

What extensions do you have installed?

Do you experence this problem when you start Firefox in Safe-Mode?

There is an out-of-date dll in your FF directory. uninstalling and deleting teh
whole FF Directory (except plugins subdirectory) and reinstalling should fix this.

You have the activeX-addon Plugin installed if you still get the error.
removing it from the plugins directory should fix that...

Thank you for your comments, but I have some questions

1) Could I obtain the extensions list without run the Firefox? How?
2) How can I start Firefox in Safemode?
3) Where is the FF directory? How can I uninstall it?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
