• I went down to 28 after 29 is out, how can I stop the guests asking me to update now? This is a stay with 28 or find another browser

  I've downgraded to 28 after that 29 is out. Now I have pompts/popups asking if Firefox can make changes. I want to do this, go away. It will never be a level 29 and I am willing to take the risk of staying with 28. If it isn't do more disappear I'll have to find another browser. I checked the update section of the tab security under options then than EVER, and she still does whenever I run firefox.

  It turned out to be an Add - we're trying to update. Just removed all my Add ons and got with the navigation temporarily while I look for a new browser. What a cluster. I guess I'll spend the next weeks of teaching all members of my family who only turn on the computer to navigate and how to use their browser again, or just a junk e-mail it and find another.

• I don't have the money to buy a new computer and would not be vulnerable by using your latest version of Firefox. I want to stay with the previous version.

  I saw a previous question to a windows user, but it seemed that he was very long (speaking of the 3.x.x editions), and all links on this thread seemed to have only 3 updates. I just want to stay with the version of Firefox before this last update (30/10/12) who say 16.0.2 work well with my older Mac OSX. Can you provide me with a link to reinstall and forgive my ignorance, but let me know exactly what I have to do to avoid losing preferences and bookmarks and others? Thank you very much.

  All versions of Firefox 16 still work with your operating system OS X 10.5, but this is the last version that works.
  
  Firefox 17 will require OS X 10.6 and later.

  Here you can see the 17 Firefox (currently in beta) system requirements:

• How can I prevent the 4.01 Firefox invites me to upgrade to the beta version 5.0? I want to stay with a stable version.

  I was a beta tester for Firefox 4, but I want to stay with the stable versions that are compatible with my plugins for now. Whenever I start Firefox 4.01, he pompts upgrade me to version beta 5.0, which he called an important security and stability update. In my view, 4.01 is the general release to date, and I would stop invites me to upgrade to a beta version of Firefox.

  It is possible that you are still on the beta update channel, if you have already installed a release candidate or a beta version of Firefox 4.

  You can check that in looking at pref app.update.channel on the subject: config page.

  To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.
  
  If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.
  
  You can use the filter at the top bar of the on: page config to more easily spot a pref.

  If the value of this pref is beta so it is best to download and install the latest version of Firefox 4.0.x.

  Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop DMG

  • Firefox 4.0.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.

  Hi Tinkerbellfancolorado,

  1. When is this last work fine?
  2. Do you receive an error message or error codes?
  3. Recent changes on the computer?

  There could be several causes for this problem.

  Try starting with these methods.

  Method 1

  Step 1

  1. Open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, and then click diagnose and repair.
  2. Make sure that all cables are connected (for example, make sure that your modem is connected to a working jack or cable phone connection, either directly or through a router).
  3. Reset your modem and router. Remove the power cord from the modem or router, wait at least 10 seconds, then plug in the modem and/or router back.

  Step 2

  Another reason may be windows disable your network adapter to save power. Turn off the power saving option in the properties of the network (wired network only cards) card:

  1. Open network connections by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking network and Internet, click network and sharing Center, and then clicking manage network connections.
  2. Right-click on the connection and then click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  3. On the Networking tab, click Configure.
  4. On the power management tab, clear the allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option, and then click OK.

  Method 2

  Temporarily disable the firewall, and check the status.

  NOTE: To re-enable the firewall after check you the status. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your /firewall antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• Do accredtations of VMware, such as VSP and VTSP stay with me if I switch companies?

  I understand that the VMware certifications stay with me if I go to another company. This is also true of accreditations VSP, VTSP, etc...?

  Yes, certifications and accreditations for which you have taken a course and passed an exam are related to you as an individual, not the company.

• Safely remove the device with VISTA is not infallible

  I have a HP Pavilion Slimline nine running Vista.

  I plug a USB key or an external hard drive and it reads very well.

  I have try the safely eject button, and the light on my memory stick stays on. With XP, it came out, and I knew that I could remove the stick. It goes the same for my external hard drive... Done, I could hear that he stop and watch out slight shift when I used the feature of MATERIAL in any SAFETY REMOVE (SRH) of XP.

  Not the case with VISTA. After completing the SRH steps, these devices always seem to be on.

  I read that Vista not turn off light after things are ejected... is - it true?
  Any suggestions?

  Are there any patches or downloadable patches?

  Hello walden1,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

  The only time where SRH did not finish is when there is an application or a service that is always access the drive somehow.  I fyou're sure there is no transfer, then you can disconnect with the safety of the food.  themajin concern is when access to the data or transfer is underway.

  -J' read that Vista not turn off light after things are ejected... is - it true?
  It has been my experience that it's false.  Once ejected, using SRH or not the light turns off and the player is uninstalled.  Now, if you use memory for ready boost of course light remains lit and SRH still not eject it.  So maybe it's somehting that you'll want to check.  If your right click the drive in the Solution Explorer, then select properties the last tab should be the tab ready boost and you can switch if and how much of the training will be used for this.

  Thank you

• MS updates create chaos with Vista Home Premium

  It is a wire also that has not been resolved. Can anyone help? http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-desktop/stuck-on-classic-view/71732b42-6860-4985-B512-2e06cfced038?TM=1300859920838&page=1

  In fact the things are worse now because Vista now refuses to updateat all that MS are probably still shoving stuff through to their hectic rate.

  I think it's the MS itself update procedure which is wrong. But I'm a model of PC I guess.

  I am OEM and am looking to buy a disc to try to questions of law. Is this a good idea or should I leave drowsy lie? I wish I'd stayed with XP.

• 24 of Firefox with vista to date fails to display icons on the new Yahoo Mail and other web sites — especially icons such as facebook, twitter WHY?

  Web sites like murraystivoli.com that display the facebook and twitter icons and in particular the new Yahoo Mail interface fail to display the icons. I see only a small rectangle. On Yahoo Mail, there are a few inside but instead it should be the display arrows, images of envelopes or as medium icons or 'send '. The new interface is useless without correct icon translation - can not see the arrows for 'reply' 'reply to all '. It works on Internet Explore on Vista; It works on Firefox on Windows XP (it's the way back level) then why do we see this problem with Vista and Firefox update (we 24.0 but saw problems on websites that I don't care that much about other levels of Firefox also.)

  Help, please!

  Same problem here... I have no icons or tick boxes at all in Yahoo mail and it affects a good few other sites too, just small square boxes with numbers inside. It's really annoying!

  Here's what it looks like (you may need to zoom in a bit)...

• Keep HP with Vista 64 bit programs to clean install Win7

  My HP pavilion m9400t was bought a year ago and failed to qualify not free upgrade.  In any case, I think I will try to Win 7.  I'm gathering that I need to do a clean install.  How to save all the extra HP provided software installed with Vista (Hardware diagnosis Tools, HP Advisor, HP Support info, Lightscribe, Cyberlink DVD suite, etc.).  I use these programs regularly and want to be able to install on Windows 7.  How to save each of them?

  If this is the case, and I lose all the extra software HP... is there a way to record programs on a DVD and the re - install after a clean installed Win7?

  Where can I find these files?

  OR conversly, if I make a superposition of Win7 on vista installation, be fine or will it be buggy?
