2 versions of firefox and the maintenance service are listed in "Uninstall or change a program" after update

I have updated to firefox from 15.0 to 15.0.1 using the dialogbox "About Firefox". under "Uninstall or change a program" in windows 7 x 64 I have now the two versions of firefox 15.0 and 15.0.1 registered as being installed.

also, I had previously disabled the option "Use a background service to install updates" and uninstalled "Mozilla Maintenance Service". now the option of background service use has been reactivated and the "Service Maintenance of Mozilla's ' has been reinstalled. I really like how mozilla has zero respect for the fact that I don't want some unnecessary services installed on my computer, just so that I don't have to click on a UAC prompt once per month.

I'll probably just uninstall the both firefox and the maintenance server and reinstall firefox. both versions are supposed to be there or is this a bug? and why reinstalled substantive service and the option is enabled when specifically, I uninstalled and disabled before?

Edit: I just checked my other computers. 1 windows 7 x 64 with the maintenance service installed and the other xp with the maintenance Server uninstalled or disabled. two computers only list 15.0.1 as being installed and the maintenance department was not reinstalled on my xp computer.

Just to let you know, the maintenance service is not running on your computer at all up to and update must be installed. It does not all resources and is perfectly fine to stay on your computer.

As for the problem with two versions of Firefox, uninstall the other oldest (make sure not to remove your personal data) and see if the new version works.

  • I have the latest version of Firefox and the Firefox button suddenly disappeared. How can I recover it?

    Everything worked well earlier today. I restarted my computer and open Firefox. The Firefox button is gone. I have not installed new software. I thought that maybe it had been corrupted somehow, so I deleted and downloaded again. The Firefox button is still missing. That's happened? How can I recover it?

    You will see the Firefox button when the menu bar is hidden.

    FAFSA is the form to fill out for financial aid for College. I need to fill out the form later for the spring semester of next year. Until I'm able to fill it in online and save and send to school. When I'm on the site and click on fill out a form, a message came that I didn't have the right version of my browser, so I downloaded the latest version of Firefox, and then restarted the computer and is returned to the site to try again and got the same message. Then I had two shortcut icons on my desktop and I can't say that one is for the latest version of Firefox.
    When you download the latest version, it removes the last version that you had previously downloaded?

    Fafsa.gov site can't stand no more recent than the version of Firefox 3.6.x. It's their choice.

    You can install the version of Firefox Portable for use only on this site and use your current version of Firefox for all the rest. Firefox Portable is not produced by Mozilla (but it is based on the versions of Firefox released) and only is not supported on this site - has its own support forum (see below). Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard disk so that it does not interfere with your currently installed version configuration Firefox or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin/jump drive.

  • Message is: I have the old version of Firefox, and update is not possible because my "system is incompatible. What now?

    Whenever I have e-mail access, a pop up box appears saying that I use an older version of Firefox, and I should update. But when I click on the button 'update now', another message appears saying that "your current system is incompatible with the upgrade". So what am I supposed to do?

    You seem to have an Intel Mac and using the old OS x 10.4.1

    The latest version of Mozilla to work on such is the Firefox 3.6. * where the current 3.6.22 update can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • Where can I get a brief history of versions of Firefox, including the current and beta versions?

    I just upgraded to 3.6 to 5.01 and received a message saying that this version is obsolete, and should I upgrade to 6.0. OK, well I would like to know just where, in the history of Firefox, it will take me. This is not the first time I have wondered about the Firefox version history and tried to find the information. Looks like you have all hide information or are ashamed of something (the number of versions, maybe?) and make it difficult to find this information. I don't understand the logic of making this information so difficult to find, if it is available to all.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

  • When released the 64 bit version of Firefox to the main channel?

    When released the 64 bit version of Firefox to the main channel? I thought it was supposed to be released when version 39 came out, but I must have been confused.

    No version passed was a guarantee of having Win64 for liberation, but more of an opportunity or that there has been speculation that Win64 builds on the beta channel from 37.0b2 build target.

    I guess you mean the Win64 (64-bit for Windows) and not on Mac OSX and Linux built which has 64-bit commercial for Firefox 4.0 versions both because easier to do and that it.

    If all goes well the Firefox 41.0 will be the first version to have Win64 rests alongside the 32 bit Windows builds.

    Win64 version was planned no version of Firefox. Then, on short notice for a brief period of a few weeks before Fx 40.0 version Mozilla thought to Win64 Fx 40.0 release but was changed to 41.0 Fx.

    Two things of note for versions of Firefox Win64 starting 41,0 + release. Only 64-bit Flash Player is white listed to run in Firefox Win64. Seconed we need 64-bit Windows 7, 8.x and 10 as the 64-bit Windows XP, Vista and server cannot run Win64 builds from Firefox 37.0 + development relies.

  • Two different language versions of Firefox at the same time?

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. I have two accounts, one for me and one for my wife. She uses Firefox (Japanese), and I've been using another browser. But I would like to firstly using Firefox (in English).

    Is it possible to run two different language versions of Firefox on the same computer? I want to be able to run both at the same time... (So if I navigate and she wants to check an auction quickly it can without my duty close my browser).

    Can be done with relative ease?

    Make sure that each of you has their own Firefox profile folder.

  • Why the title bar on Firefox and the Windows 7 taskbar let distorted image when a list of folders crosses one or the other?

    I use a lot of folders in my bookmarks list. I noticed that with AMD and Nvidia cards based on video, that if I use a folder in my bookmarks list that a lot, a lot of bookmarks, the bookmark list will cross the box title bar of Firefox and the taskbar in Windows 7 and down. When this happens, the title bar on Firefox versions 8-10 and the taskbar at the bottom let images from the list of bookmarks which do not disappear (at least that I have use F11 mode full screen to clear away from the image and bring it back to normal). If I use a Matrox video card, it doesn't. Why is this?

    Try turning off hardware acceleration.

    If disable hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • I want to install the U.S. version of FF and the version in traditional Chinese characters and use them both. How can I do this

    I want to use the English US version of FF and I also want to use Chinese (traditional characters) version of fire fox. But when I tried to install each of these two versions, they merged and let me only to use the Chinese version. is it possible to have both versions on my computer so I can use each of them in its appropriate context.
    Judd

    Yes, I often use several versions of firefox.

    Use custom install for the 2nd or both versions of firefox and create multiple profiles.
    

    Program records

    When you install firefox (you can leave the first version where it is) choose custom rather than the default values Setup. You normally use a location in the path of the program window, so that the files are easy to find related and execution. Maybe just add USA and C for default folder names, so that you have separated appropriate folders. You can rename all of the Firefox shortcuts after their creation.

    Two profiles

    You will need to have separate for each version profiles so that they work properly.

    1. I would like to start by creating a copy of the existing profile folder and all its subfolders. Copy in a safe place, out of program or firefox profile paths, the Windows desktop is an obvious choice. It is not necessary, but if something is wrong it allows possibilities of recovery or regression.
    2. For simplicity, let such existing firefox profile; If it doesn't work still. You can always delete the shortcuts for her later if she is not going to be used. (Do not rename the profiles until you are confident and fully understand firefox profiles and how they are used).
    3. Create a new profile for the American version of firefox. You can use it right away if your US version of firefox work properly, otherwise re - install firefox.
      • Carefully note the name of the profile and the folder name and the path. When you create a profile, it of wise always to use an empty folder, because if you imprudently delete the profile you lose everything, including all the important but unrelated files are contained in it because it was not initially an empty folder.
      • you have no need to uninstall firefox, but if you do, then do NOT use any option to delete personal settings or a Firefox or Windows option.
      • / ! ------Care if you remove the settings it will try to remove all settings, Favorites, passwords etc of normally installed versions of Firefox. (Proper use of file recovery utilities and luck is needed if the attempt to overthrow of the action)
    4. Rename it shortened to something suitable like us Firefox and configured to use the US profile.
    5. follow a similar procedure for Chinese version.
    6. It is possible to run both versions at the same time, open which uses the -no-remote option, but I'm guessing you won't need that.

    I'll add explanatory links later today, when I'm on another machine with my favorites available.

    The most common reasons for a lack of response on the forum are that no one else has encountered the same problem or not enough information is provided. In your case, I believe that it is especially the first.

    This document "some files on the server may be missing or incorrect" Warning Message described the potential causes of this warning appearing. Usually see this message intermittently when no changes have been made to the files on the server hosting implies hosting service itself is not reliable serving files. Only under these conditions would be consistent with the message of warning, so that with the model (which in this case is referring to a downloaded file and not to the .muse model was purchased) are not served or reliable served by the hosting server. It might be the file has not been downloaded or it could be that accommodation does not systematically purge the file.
