30 Firefox installed itself WITHOUT authorization, and I'm SEETHING.
I'm on XP. I have Firefox set to let me know when there are updates, but to make me choose to install manually. I had 28 of Firefox. He kept bugging me several times a day, usually when I was in the middle of something, first install the 29 and 30.
I NEVER leave.
I just returned from a break, you press the space bar, and a Firefox window was on the screen saying it was download an update. I pulled the connection of wire cable to the internet, any relationship, but it was too late. Firefox said it was the update installation.
When I install the updates of Firefox I use portable applications so I know that he is not fit in other directories. This keeps my own machine. I didn't ask or want an automatic update.
That's happened?
Is this a new policy of Mozilla, Badger users several times a day and then install even if they say: 'no '?
Is there a virus in some new Firefox programs?
I have run several virus scans and don't think that I have something bad on my machine.
"I have Firefox set to let me know when there are updates, but to make me choose to install manually."
That preference does not work as you think it works. He isn't saying NO to the updates!
If you don't see a message that an update is available, the "timer" will expire waiting for your answer and the update will be downloaded without any other messages.
Never search for updates and deactivation of the Maintenance Service is the ticket.

After stopping Firefox opens again without history and previous tabs
Before each trip, I quit Firefox 31 my Mac Pro 10.9.4. He had several extensions, bookmarks and open tabs. I've done this hundreds of times without problem and Firefox always opens with everything intact. Then I stop my Mac.
This time, on return, I started my Mac, clicked on Firefox to open it, and it opened as a blank Firefox version. He was still Firefox 31, but all my extensions have disappeared, my story was gone, clearly my Session Manager had disappeared and all my previously opened tabs disappeared.
How can I recover the Firefox I have quit smoking before I stop my Mac? P
COR - el,
I was able to recover a backup off site of the cloud of August 4. I see two similar 9kn2yszu.default and 9kn2yszu.default\searchplugins profilesThe profiles.ini only uses the first profile. It turns out that this same profile is one of the two that exists on my Mac. But it doesn't have the same content!
A profiles.ini made an appearance on my Mac now.
I was thinking about copying and pasting the contents of my backup profile to replace content in my current of the same name, as per profile
https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/back-and-restore-information-Firefox-profiles
I was going to wait for your ok, but I guess I can't do more damage that I have, so I'm going to come.
. . . . . . . .Well I did, and it seems to have worked. I have all my tabs back and two windows of Firefox using Session Manager which is also back back.
I mark this solved when I get your comments and if you can suggest this as another profile, 9kn2yszu.default\searchplugins, is on about. Should I copy it to my profile as well?
I realize that my Time Machine backups were not corrupted by them open at the same time as the Finder on my Mac. Patterns were the same, but the content of this profile of August 6 looks at the content of the profile of the same name by August 4 I used. But, the same file, just before I made my copy and paste had lost almost half of its elements.
It could be a good idea if Firefox was a way to save their profiles automatically to another file somewhere else. This doesn't happen often, but I lost only several precious hours over the past three days to get it resolved.
Thanks again, for help.

Download Firefox for Linux without Adblock and other extensions
I have a problem downloading of an adapted version of Firefox for Linux to run on a Knoppix Live DVD system, for use in the trial publishable extensions I developed under Windows. (This isn't a development question extension, however, just a problem downloading and the FF configuration properly).
I was surprised as the current (FF40) and anterior (FF34) version for Linux come with 3 extensions installed permanently - NoScript, Adblock Plus and FoxyProxy Standard. They apparently cannot be uninstalled, even if they can be disabled.
I read online in various forums that Adblock Plus is a hog memory and that she, in particular, as well as NoScript, may adversely affect the values with legitimate code on Web sites and extensions. I also read complaints from users who disable Adblock Plus does not remove all its effects.
During my tests I had problems that I thought were the result of Adblock Plus, so I turned off and restart the browser. The situation is greatly improved, but there are still some problems that may or may not be related to the shortage of memory.
The question is this: I want to download versions 'clean' FF for Linux without these extensions part 3 installed, for more conclusive tests, but have not found a way to do it.
I'm also curious as to why these extensions are 'forced' on Linux users. (I hope that never happens on Windows, or I could become a less committed user of the FF).
Firefox any version for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows www.mozilla.org or www.mozilla.org/firefox/all doesn't come with all Extensions.
You already had these extensions installed in Firefox profile, you use with Firefox.
All three of these Extensions are by a third author (s) and not by Mozilla.

Earlier, I went back to my laptop to discover that Firefox had installed an update. The only option that gave me was to restart now or later. I checked my preferences, and I finally got them to have FF ask me before installing.
The window 'asking' what you want to do only awaits if long an answer until it times out (if I me remember when it happened, it waits 30 seconds) and then download them the update.

When I click on 'search tools', options are no longer displayed (for example, the tool that allows a search of limited date or search for videos of different lengths). I happened to have a search page open before the update and drop-down menus to search tools always appear on this page, but if I click on it, the menu drops down, so I can't change the options. When I do an image search, the results page shows only 20 or if the images and the rest of the results appear only as gray rectangles with/without any image. Search tools work normally in other browsers, I installed it, but Firefox is my default browser (and I'm happy with that), so I want to fix the problem. I don't know if it is associated with the updates, I did yesterday, but it's the only thing I can think of that's changed. Before that, the search tools have been working properly.

WON'T WORK!You have security software with enhanced settings that can block JavaScript in Firefox?
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See:
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 (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Why did Windows using stealth tactics and install updates without permission or notice?
Why did Windows using stealth tactics and install updates without permission or notice?
It becomes a regular event, it also seems to restart in the middle of the night to set up these updates. I don't know what the intention but
[Vista 32 bit] I returned this intrusion in the files to my PC and I always despise microsoft to decide to act like a pirate. I'll give microsoft some time to answer this, but I expect to be as horrible as they are usually with the customer service. So in a few weeks, I'll start to smear the name of microsoft as much as possible and sway anyone my possible to buy non-Microsoft products.Read here:

Change how Windows installs or notifies you of updates
If you select the download updates but let me choose... option, no update will install without your approval. Suppose an update will require a reboot and does not approve the installation of an update until & unless you are ready to restart.
You can change the AU for the "updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" setting. Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded, the updates are installed and where they are installed.
I prefer "check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" setting.
