Automatic update of Firefox never find newer versions. Why?

Hi, I had a problem for a lot of versions now (at least two): set to automatic update never find newer versions. When I first noticed this problem, I noticed also automatic updates are disabled in preferences. The reactivation of them would make them market back after that I checked the updates (on Firefox).

So I went and:
-restarted with modules disables
-updated Firefox
-trashed active - update.xml and updates.xml

What's wrong?

Thank you all. Autoupdater finally works again.

  • 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)

  • Automatic update of Firefox is to install additional software?

    I find research protect and Optimizer Pro on many systems that I fixed, and I've isolated it's to proceed with the installation as a free add-on to another program, and they all seem to have Mozilla Firefox...

    When the automatic update occurs, it is install anything beyond Firefox?

    If so, and if it's the research installation protect or Optimizer Pro, please stop it immediately. These programs lead to the "FBI Virus" that has been updated this year to contain the virus 'Homeland Security '... Research Protect finally installs Optimizer Pro, so if someone tries to uninstall it, through normal means, it installs or launches the rendered useless computer virus.

    These modules have become a headache for the customers as a whole and has been a concern for me, for fixing their computers...

    The case, please let me know if I can exclude him... I was surprised by her appearing on people's computers who navigate on the internet, that is why I came to the conclusion above possible...

    The software update in Firefox installs only the updates to Firefox whether partial or full depending on the circumstances, you have missed an update. The heel and complete installation for Windows of www.mozilla.org only is Firefox as nothing extra is installed either a toolbar or to a separate application.

    Firefox becomes one of the list less apps that comes with anything on Windows, Mac OSX or Linux.

    I read the following: "Mozilla changes the way Firefox installs on computers in an apparent concession to the users of the company, he held previously were irrelevant." Versions of the future of the browser open source will download and install silently on your machine, saving you the trouble to download and allow the update. »

  • Update Live 2009 and the new version of Windows Live 2011.

    After installing the update of Live software (10.11.2010) Version 2009 (Build 14.0.8117.416) in my computer - and I tried to start Live Gallery, I get the message Photogallery cannot start because lack of MSSQL 2005 COmpact edition.

    As I knew, SQL served also in the previous version. I'm a little afraid to try to install this version, because I already have MSSQL server 2005 installed and used in my accounting program. Install a new version will then often more problems than solve all the problems.

    How to add Live Gallery as a new instance of MSSQL2005? You have the settings to set a manual instance who will work with the photo gallery?

    Next problem:

    Microsoft alert on the old LiveSync program, who work for a long time. I used this for a few years, because I have 3 computers that must be synconized with the same information on the accounting data and documents and photos. This Livesync works very well.

    I should connect on my page of Live Sync yesterday and change the settings. I've been using Live sync for a long time. There I could see Live Sync will stop and set up a new product, mesh. Well, I agreed to install this solution. I used already, windows Live mail and Live messenger, for a time of loooong and very uncomfortable about this products.

    When I installed the new synchronization software, it is also updated my Messenger, the gallery and the mail. But I'm really disappointed... The Messenger is like a huge stone and with a new design and more complicated to see what you're doing. The Gallery is so bad, and the options to display images after the shooting date disappeared. Mail is so heavy and all programs with a HUGE menu of icons all places, with 1000' nds of choice which a normal user does NOT need or want.
     
    The system of mesh must be a better solution after sync Live, but it's so slow and do a lot of bad things in my computer. All my sync folders has been updated with Live Sync, but what a start doing the same thing again, and I had 12000 files update. Soon it started the update, he grabbed 20 GB of my available space in my drive C - from 32 GB to 12 GB, and I was really scared of running out of disk space. After a few our space was getting better, but it stills lost about 10 GB in my hard drive, compared to what I had before installing. The mesh has put a lot of temporary files in users\Appdata\Local\Microsoft'Live Mesh. I start checking all files, files which could be, and after update all the files, it was still about 9 GB left in this folder. My Local low folder is now 292 MB, Local is 4.2 GB and homelessness is 579 MB. But I still wonder where is the last 10 GB which disappear when I install the mesh.
     
    My other computer died in this operation. When I start today, I had a lot of messages on the server mesh was not, and I tried to restart it. But now it's DEAD - I could not power on it. A hard disk will also start default after installation of the mesh, it was a whole new Samsung 1 TB 3.5 inch SATA.
     
    Now my main computer died and I removed all the latest Live Messenger with Essentials on this one, and now it starts acting like a normal computer.
     
    My Gallery is normal again, that my email works normally again. and I decided to stop all kinds of synchronizations from Microsoft. Why if you change a good product that works fine?
     
    I recommend post you pack to download the previous version of Live Messenger and products - and continue to use Live Sync, and people to give a chance to yourself decide how version that should be updated when a new version is available. I had no choice to stop the update for Messenger, Gallery and mail. just a message about this also will be updated. http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Essentials?OS=other must be put on hold until the test is preferable. Live Mesh is dangerous - it kills your computer. This is NOT a final product - put in a BETA version and put on a warning.
