Download updates of Firefox. I have to go to IE and download it from there. Why aren't the automatic downloads happening on my computer?
When an update is automatically available, I only know because Norton gives me a message that update.exe is safe. By clicking on the shortcut will not open Mozilla more so the update downloads. I have to go to IE and download, save and run it from there.
I did the clean install. I guess now I have to wait for an upgrade to be sure, it worked properly. I'll keep your directions in case I need it. So far, everything seems to work very well. Thank you.

Since the installation of update of Firefox today, 11/11/2011, when incoming secure web sites I no longer have the display of a padlock. I still have Https. I wonder if the security of these barns is still OK.
The status bar is gone and the 'blocking' with it from Firefox 4.0. Safety information on a web page are shown by the Site identity button.
The former lock could give users a false sense that a site is safe to not to provide information to the site and showed that there is a secure connection that does not guarantee that you are connected to the right server. The Site identity button is introduced in Firefox 3.0 to show more complete information of 'identity' for HTTPS web pages.

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 mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu
Click the close button
).
- 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.

Towards the end of an automatic update of Firefox, the program opens a dialog box that says that it is to check the compatibility of the new version with my addons. He also mentioned that I be patient, the process may take several minutes. The process continues without normal ending, and I have to use Windows Task Manager to stop it. I have let it run the form as long as 35 minutes, but it's never complete the process. This has happened for each automatic updates of last 3 or 4. What is going on?
It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.
Delete the files (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.
New files will be created if necessary.
See "extension corrupted files:
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled extensions or is not compatible in ' Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions ' and then click the Tools button, on the side of the left end of the search bar to check if there is an update available compatibility.
If this did not help, then also delete the addons.sqlite file.

The user whose machine they exist the problem doesn't have administrator rights. Firefox 5 detected a version upgrade (version 17) while she allowed him to continue. He did not, but since then, Firefox has not worked at all. It displays an error message"your computer must be restarted to complete a previous update of Firefox. Do you want to restart now. "I managed to remove the 17 version using Windows Add/Remove Programs, but add/remove programs show an installer, icon, not a normal program icon." The machine is a HP8000 running Windows XP SP3
Thanks for the replies folks. I solved the problem by renaming the Mozilla Firefox folder like old Mozilla Firefox, and then return to add/remove programs to remove the element that resembled an installation program. I thn restarted the PC and reinstalled Firefox 17 from scratch. It worked perfectly. The user favorites are still maintained.
