• Disable automatic update of Firefox on Gnome 3, Fedora 15

  The Fedora 15, using Gnome 3, I'm unable to disable automatic updates for Firefox, I am only able to disable automatic updates for the modules and the search engines.

  Maybe you got a modified version of Firefox. Preferences, chrome, js or anything that may have been changed.

  If the job requires you to develop on certain versions, and you make it on this computer, why not install multiple copies of Firefox, including the required versions. I'm sure that the required versions are currently supported versions. at the moment it is 3.6, 6, 7, 8 or 9

  You must ensure that you use multiple profiles, so each has a unique profile.

  For the problematic firefox current 6 do a clean install, remove the original program files, but not the profile files. (or possibly an additional installation in a location custom with a new profile - this allows you to retain the current firefox 6 and a firefox standard 6) Profiles can be cloned/copied if necessary, bookmark libraries are accessible from the other versions/profiles if necessary and several versions can be run simultaneously. (I speak from a point of view of Windows, but it is unlikely that Linux will differ)

• IE8_Windows automatic update when IE8 is already installed

  original title: automatic update anomaly IE8_Windows

  Windows Auto Update on my laptop under Windows XP Sp3, just downloaded and prompted me to install "Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP".  However, I'm already under IE8 (8.0.6001.18702 worm).

  The update is not called an "update for IE8" and its accompanying info explains the benefits for me to install IE8.

  In addition, there is a link in the details area of this automatic update that goes to a website showing "we're sorry, the requested page is not found.

  Is this just a problem in the Windows automatic updates, in fact just an update to my already installed IE8 or something more sinister?

  Appreciate your advice

  In no order given...

  1 automatic updates will not offer all other updates as long as there are one or more updates in the queue (for example, IE8).

  2. in my previous answer, hide (optional, non-security update) KB951847, the HID Driver (generically identified as KB 911895) and IE8update.

  TIP: If you have not already run the troubleshooter automated in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & restarted, you may need to do if after you hide these updates.

  3. http://windowsteamblog.com/ie/b/ie/archive/2011/12/15/ie-to-start-automatic-upgrades-across-windows-xp-windows-vista-and-windows-7.aspx refers to IE8 in WinXP and IE9 in Vista & Win7.

  4. as far as I know there is no current, yet available AV app version (free or otherwise, including Avast and Avira AntiVir) which would be like 'light' on your Windows XP system as a bit outdated-yet-still-supported by AVG Free v9.

  Comment: A casual survey on the malware removal forums will show you that the vast majority of infected systems are running AVG Free (any version) - followed closely by ISP-freebies McAfee Security Center & Norton Security Suite. Think about it...

• Windows Update or automatic updates no longer work after installing SP3?

  Recently I photographed two XP machines. A a Latitude D600 and also an Optiplex 745 with Windows XP SP2. I can deploy SP3 in our process of the image. First run I did. Once installed SP3 updates no longer work. I found this article KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144 and tried the suggestions here and FixIt MS, no luck. Then I thought why not try again maybe all the trial and error messed up something. I reimage but this time choose to do not to install SP3 immediately. Once done I run Windows Update and it works, until it installs SP3 then is no longer functions. I tried the above steps once again, no luck. I then leave the PC for 48 hours to see if the automatic updates the shot but they do not have. By other suggestions online I wrote a small batch file that updates several components of Windows Update (dll) which made no difference, and yes I'm in the last WindowsUpdateAgent. Please any help on this would be welcome. We move away XP but we have still a few dozen or more systems deployment running XP and this question slows down my work courses as I spend time troubleshooting instead of being able to finish and move along.
