Continue to get the window indicating to restart Firefox to update.

After my husband connects and Firefox starts, it continues to open window to restart Firefox to update. When I click on Firefox, it also indicates to restart Firefox to update. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox from Mozilla.org 3 times now and this problem continues. Refresh also does not eliminate the problem. Click on Firefox in the Applications folder as version 49.0.2. Operating system is OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

When I connect Firefox under my user, I have no problems.

FYI - I'm on my iMac 10.11.6 today * MY * FFox updated to 50.0.1 and resolve the problem itself for me. My wife was always the 49.0.2 problem.

I left FF on his account & renamed a subdirectory under his account from: ~/Library/Caches/Mozilla/updates/Applications/Firefox/

  TO:

~/Library/caches/Mozilla/updates/applications/was-FF

and restarted FF for her. The problem seems to have disappeared.

NOTE: FF autorebuilt dir ~/Library/Caches/Mozilla/updates/Applications/Firefox /, so it seems that this may have cleaned everything.

NOTE 2: I had also deleted all files 'Firefox 49.0.2.dmg' both of our directories before hand, without any noticeable difference. If it helped or not, I don't know, but it should probably be the first step. :)

  • I've updated to 40 for Mac and still continue to get the window telling me to update to 40.

    The window opens whenever I open Firefox and at random intervals. It is annoying to have to keep close. I've updated either through pop, the window and "about Firefox" more than 4 times and the pop up still continues to be. "About Firefox" it's of 40.0.

    39.0 Firefox is still the current version on www.mozilla.org/firefox/all since July 2.

    40.0 Firefox is always on the Beta channel with 40.0b6 being the recent version. There may be six to twelve that Beta builds for a version on beta channel.

  • How can I get the Windows 7 Media Center guide to update the channel list.

    I noticed that lists of TV channels in Windows 7 Media Center guide are incomplete.  Not all available channels are appearing.  They disappeared for some time.  I checked the lists online of zapsit and they contain the missing strings.  The program zap2it descriptions are more precise than what appears in the Media Center guide.

  • I get the windows login screen and I do not know the password for administrators

    I accidentally deleted my account and when the computer starts and I get the windows login screen and I do not know the administrators password. Also how can I reinstall windows when I got a disc when I brought my laptop. Thank you, Lorraine

    Thanks for getting back to me. I sold my old laptop to my son-in-law, and he asked me to remove my name from the computer off so that my name wasn't on the screen all the time. so I deleted the profile of cook of lorraine and made one for him, but I didn't give it a password. then I realized what I had to do (I got Lorraine where time is on the bottom of the screen), but was unable to highlight to remove it without a mouse. so I plugged a mouse, but the computer does not read, then I restarted the computer. When I restarted, all I could get was the windows login screen.

    then I typed in the name son-nlaws and they said that he was kidnapped, tyoed in mine and got the same and then typed in Administrator, but did not know the password. I have since reinstalled windows. XP Professional would not install saying a file was missing, so I installed xp family and is working again. He just has to click on what edition it wants to run. Professional XP of course happen just with the display of connection... but it can use again.
    Thank you once again, Lorraine
