A script that stops my connections, what to do ?

[Member corsiglia]

Good evening,

I have a script which is stopping or slowing my connections: it appears on the screen with that message “do you want to continue or to stop” ??
how do you manage that?
I give you the script :” chrome://global/content/bindings/notification.xml:337″, completely unknown !!

What do you advise in this case ?

Thank you,
corsiglia

Is your system up to date? antiX16 isn’t very recent.

If you have the ability to try it on fresher software, I would try that. It also might just be the site you are trying to access.

Bonjour,
it is possible that an addon or a browser theme, installed by you, slows down the browser (firefox I suppose )
Here is a video that might help.

I agree, however. antiX16 is quite old.

I tend to agree with caprea and, even if I have noClue what exactly is causing the problem, I have a feeling that the cause might very well be some of the extensions that you are using.

Possible solutions:
Refresh Firefox
Create new Profile

Maybe this links can give you some further clues:

Thank you all : do you mean I have to move to ANTIX 19 ? what is the method : to create a new DVD and to burn the DVD with ANTIX 19 or to upgrade from ANTIX 16 to ANTIX 19 ?
I am not really used to manage these extensions or addons : I understand nothing how it works and I am afraid it could open new problems…!
Therefore, I would prefer to start from scratch.

antiX 19b3 is still in beta testing. It should be released soon (my guess is within a few weeks).

antiX 17.4.1 is stable.

THe easiest choice is as noClue suggested to fix the Firefox by refreshing it (there is a big blue button in the middle of the Refresh Firefox page)
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems

I would try that first.

Ok but I don’t see where could be the Refresh Firefox page in the list : I have restarted the computer, I have started Firefox again, I have cleared cookies and cache, I have restarted in safe mode, but I don’t see “Reinstall Firefox” and ” Refresh Firefox” …..sorry !

Do you speak French?

Ok, this link will run the “Refresh Firefox” button.

Click the blue button on that page

Hi there ! I have found the blue button “refresh firefox” and another one ” repair firefox”, I clicked the two buttons, but they don’t seem “active”, and nothing happens !

Sorry, I don’t have any more easy suggestions.

[Member noClue]

Save your bookmarks first if you have anything worth keeping before you proceede.

Just close the Firefox, rename .mozilla folder inside your home diectory to .mozilla_old and rename/delete anything else mozilla/firefox in .config and .cache.

You‘ve got the total reset.

P.S.
Do not remove or modify anything outside of your home directory!
