50 Firefox wants to install a "new support tool", what is it?

I downloaded Firefox 50 via the built in update. When I type restart to install the update, I get a window saying that Firefox wants to install a "new tool of assistance" and that I need to enter an admin password to complete the update. I can't find anything on this "support tool" in the notes version or via a google search. I was just wondering what is it? 10.11.16 running OSX. Thank you.

  • Java 8 71 update tries to install a new support tool?

    I received a window indicating I should install a new version of Java. During the installation, a window came "update Java 8 71 trying to install a new tool of assistance." I went on the Oracle web site to learn more, and he says: "Oracle has partnered with companies that offer different products. The Setup program can offer you the option to install these programs when you install Java. Specify whether you want these programs installed, and then click Next. " At this time, I canceled the installation, since I started to worry that allowing the"Helper"install could infect my system. Thus according to 'I'm still 66 update on Java (System Preferences/Java). My question is, someone knows it more on the 'Helper', and should I allow to install? Thank you.

    BTW, I went to get the .dmg file in the case where I have to re - install and can't find it. I expect it to be in the downloads folder but not so much. Where should I look for it? Thank you!

    Yes, you can allow it. However, if you do not use Java or applications that need it, then you need not to install Java.

  • A popular problem; Failed to install the new creative tool of cloud

    Sorry to bore everyone to death with it but after manhandle my way through literally piles of bits of son, etc. off google, the end result is a lot of confusion.

    My situation: running win 7 64 bit (uptodate)

    I've been running the tools creative cloud for nearly a year, but this last development day, or maybe that's not the last, but the update in June... left me unable to install the new tool CC.

    When I run the Setup, it ends with the message, stupid and unnecessary:

    "We encountered the following problems:

    Office of creative cloud could not be installed.

    So far no tool failed to start, at least not the ones I use regularly (PS, LR, bridge, etc.)

    Then, I see some messages suggesting the "cleaner" and when I read the README with it, sounds really time consuming and a royal pain to follow the instructions... all the backup etc etc etc.

    I hope someone can put into a kind of overview of how to proceed here.  I've read a few reports of people succeed in getting after the problem... but not a discription of how they did it.

    I really don't want completely disturb my work and my time through plans heavy to see it did not work and no progress has been made.

    So if there is a set of measures to take that are likely to put an end to the success please someone have them.  I have not found a complete discription of how to proceed.

    Harry please follow the following steps to reinstall the creative cloud application.

    1. Rename the OOBE directory located in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE to OOBE_OLD
    2. Reinstall the Application Adobe Creative https://creative.adobe.com/
  • Why would I want to install the new Firefox if it will disable my antivirus software?

  • Will correct the error between mac FF27, Silverlight, and Netflix, (FF26 works) and or error in "On Firefox" that ALWAYS install the new version?

    (personal information (password), removed by the moderator. Please see the guidelines and rules of the Forum -m)

    First of all, your field 'password' (in the registration form) will not work with the password *. What is legal by your definition. You guys are really slippery. Your work starts to suck, your incompatible and you make a lot of mistakes, maybe you should take a breath and aim at a stable platform instead of adding new bells and whistles every 15 minutes. I'm very sad to know where you filed as recently disappeared.

    This problem (see your question above line) has finally upset me so much that I take the time to let you know on the subject.

    If you go to the window "On Firefox" under OS X, just check the version of the software; It will ALWAYS be up-to-date. In the case of FF26 to FF27. This is regardless of what the update is defined in preferences! And of course that makes Netflix no functional (netflix) generates an error indicating that Silverlight must be uninstalled and reinstalled. However, what needs to be done is for FF27 to be trashed and FF26 be reinstalled.

    Please, if the product is not stable it is not usable, period.

    You can check for problems with preferences.

    Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

    Try this > about: config check the settings for these prefs and reset by clicking twice if one is true (it is to stop the automatic updates)

    App.Update.auto - false
    App.Update.Enabled - false
    App.Update.Silent - false

    You said:

      First off, your "password" field (in the registration form) will not work with the password *****; which is legal by your definition.
    

    Can you elaborate more on what you're talking about? Your existing password does not work on this site (support.mozilla.org) or is it something else?

  • is this safe download and install: motif extension 1.0 Please answer Yes or no, she appeared on Firefox want to install on my windows xp desktop

    None of the answer provided before really answering the question that has been asked before, please answer it is safe, it is malware? /

    Hello dogeeze, please, never install anything that you did not yourself simply because a popup tells you so.

    It may already exist a kind of malicious software present on your pc when you see these pop-up windows. That's why I suggest go to firefox > addons > extensions & to remove all suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.).

    also go to Control Panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.

    Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

  • I want to install the new HDD for Satellite 1410 303

    Can I install the MK8032GAX HARD disk (80 GB Toshiba 2.5 "IDE, 5400 RPM, 16 MB) on my Toshiba Satellite 1410 303? BIOS will detect it?

    Unfortunately there no document on this subject because the HARD drive upgrade is dealer so-called option, and because of this, there is no specific info on the upgrade of the HARD drive. According to the specifications of the laptop, this laptop model comes with 20 GB of HARD drive.

    I'm sure you can use 40 or 60 GB without any problems. About 80 GB I won't speculate, but maybe someone has already tested and will post here in the next few days.

    Good luck!
