cannot download the current version of firefox because it says I don't have sufficient privileges. What it means and how to fix it.
I keep trying to download the latest version of Firefox, but when I try to move it to the applications, I get the error message that I can't do this because "I have enough privelelges" and then I can't go any further. I don't know any more.
The conjectures of educatd below are correct.
Using a Mac
This happens on my Mac to other institutions
If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)
- Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
- Install the new version you downloaded
Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.

You have upgraded to iTunes 12.5.1? iOS10 requires iTunes 12.5.1 find which demands in turn 10.9.5 OSX or newer. Software update checks only the updates to the current version of the system that you are running but that itself can be updated. It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements. Find your computer on the web site of http://www.everymac.com model and near the bottom of the specification of the system section, he will tell what versions of the operating system, it is able to run.

I had to clean my pc due to an adware problem when I tried to download Chrome. I opened the current version of firefox and a display appeared "congratulations you have the latest version of Firefox. Download a new version. "I downloaded the new version. Because the download, I constantly receive unwanted adds and when I open Firefox, a default 'iStart123' research unit is charged even if I have my mail browser configured to be displayed when Firefox is opened. Now, how can I get rid of this "new version" of Firefox and how do I get rid of this 'iStart123' and all that those of unwanted adds?
Thanks for a quick reply. This "new version" of Firefox is about to drive me up a wall.

Then I had two shortcut icons on my desktop and I can't say that one is for the latest version of Firefox.

Why the current version of firefox installs adware?
When I downloaded the latest version of firefox it installed adware so that my computer is unusable. I used a previous version on my other computer and I liked it very well why ruin you a very good program.
You can also check if Firefox has a non-standard connection setting? It's a way to alter apparently valid sites. You can do so here:
"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced > tab mini network > button "settings".
The default "use system proxy" should piggyback on your Windows/IE 'LAN' settings. But you can try 'No proxy' to see if that makes a difference.

Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.
- Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
- Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

The only way I can get it out is if I go into the options, privacy and 'clear current history. " While this works, I've never had to do it before and it's annoying to have to start doing it now.

I downloaded the latest version of Firefox 13 and all Web pages are displayed wrong
I downloaded the latest version of Firefox 13 after having quickly that I didn't have the latest version of Firefox. No Web page seems correct, including this one. All Web pages are displayed "plain." For example when I type in retail right now it takes a box or something to show me where to put space details - no box - only. I use Google as my home page. The Firefox logo was on the Google home page, but it is absent. When I go to Google Mail there is no checkboxes delete mail etc... when I go to the same pages using Internet Explorer pages display correctly if something's not on Firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox without deleting my personal settings etc, but this made no difference. If my only option is to delete all my info I should do, but have been on Firefox and really don't want to lose this info. I checked all the settings when I looked not all Web pages display correctly in HELP and all settings are correct. What should I do? I don't want to go back to using IE, but that's basically what I have to do right now to the function to make banking operations etc...
You are welcome
