How to stop Mozbar ha crashing Firefox and Chrome
-
I normally use Mozbar in Firefox (latest version 40.0.3) on Windows 7 64-bit. I've never had any problems with it before but just at the start of September I started getting multiple crash events in Firefox - it would crash, restart, instantly crash and so on. I worked through all plugins and turned them off one by one. Nothing worked - if the Mozbar was active Firefox crashed. I then switched to Chrome and installed Mozbar (and nothing else). The same thing started to happen - Chrome now crashes all the time. I've also do a complete virus scan with up to date software and nothing was found.
This is seriously starting to do my head in as I can't work without Mozbar but it's just constantly crashing.
Any ideas? Suggestions?

Will do, thanks.

I will try this, however, I've used Chrome for ages and it never crashed until I installed Mozbar (following the crashes in Firefox).

Hi, there.
I'm not entirely sure if it's a moz bar. We have 6 machines in the office with mozbars and none of them have such problems. However, we do have problems with FireFox itself. I wonder if it's your computer or browsers itself. Does that happen only on your computer? Have you tried to use MOZbar anywhere else?

MozBar: Page Title (and other data) inconsistent with HTML
In using the MozBar Chrome extension, I have noticed that the data about a page that MozBar displays is sometimes inconsistent with the "head" tag in the HTML of the page. Am I misunderstanding where MozBar is getting the data it is displaying? Other SEO extensions like "META SEO inspector"do not display these inconsistencies. EupH5sG

Is it possible for a wordpress theme to block MozBar in Chrome?
My client's website, when viewed in Chrome, does not show the MozBar. In Firefox, it's all good. I've checked multiple websites in Chrome and they all bring up the MozBar, it's just this one. (theme and wordpress install are both up to date) Is it possible that this is a theme issue or does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

How to change the search profiles in the new mozbar
Hi, I want to change the search profiles in the new mozbar, but clicking the + Add new profile does nothing. Is this a browser issue? I'm using chrome Version 35.0.1916.114 m Any light on this would be great because there's no point in me checking US results because my site is only geared towards UK customers, being a mortgage broker we can't target other countries except to cater for expats. Thanks, Amelia xx

Mozbar and Firefox: Feedback please!
Hey MozBar fans, we're thinking of focusing more on Chrome and moving away from Firefox. Our reasons: Maintaining two platforms increases development cost. Each new Firefox version released takes up to a month to be approved by the Mozilla store. There is not as much design flexibility in Firefox. But we would love your feedback before we make our final decision on this. Would you still use the MozBar as frequently if it was only available in Chrome? Thanks!
