Firefox continues to ask to update, I am running version 26?
I downloaded Firefox Setup Stub 26.0 and installed three times, each time that it restarts, I see a message saying: there is a newer version of Firefox, when I click the link it asks me to download the same file again? I'm running with windows vista with Firefox as my default browser, I hope you can help because it becomes quite annoying with the constant popup telling me to update, thank you, John.
Where my reference was confusing, here's a direct link to the article with the measures to clear false information about your version of Firefox: websites say that Firefox is obsolete or incompatible, even if it's the latest version.

After the update to Firefox 3.6.13 I continue to receive update notifications to version 3.6.13 after I installed the update and restarted Firefox. Looking at the tab "about Mozilla Firefox" using the specified version is 3.6.13.
This notification keeps appearing everytime I open Firefox. A few times while I use the browser to other tasks.

7.26 Skype (328) continues to ask to update - installation is not working
Whenever I start V.7.26 (328) continues to ask to run the update even on the last OSX. Other Mac users have the same problem for OSX Elcapitan? It seems that if the update does not install on subsequent reboot...
The same thing happened with me. In addition, I could see in the console the following message is displayed:
com Skype.skypeinstaller [9999]: update 7.26.0.328 to 7.26.0.328
I gave up and downloaded and installed the latest Skype manually.

1 I noticed Firefox telling that Java Deployment Toolkit script library 7.0.510.13NPRuntime plugin Java (TM) deploy vulnerable update now Java (TM) Platform SE 7 U51Next generation Java plug-in 10.51.2 for Mozilla browsers
2. I tried to update. Receipt message indicating this update already installed Java. Message seemed to be a Windows message. Unfortunately, I outweigh the message and reinstalled both the updates that above.
3. now showing the Javas above twice for plugins on Firefox (once in already installed plugins and once to date in the plugin.
4. I went to Java. Uninstalling previous versions of Java from Windows was properly executed.
5 Firefox continues to say that above Javas are vulnerable and must be updated.
6. in the past, the update has been flawless. Now not so.
7. what should I do or is it a Firefox problem.
8. the two Javas in my time (with updates) recent plugins and those of so-called regular plugins 'ask to activate '.
9. thank you. I have Windows XP.
I guess that the warning is on the site of Plugin Checker? https://www.Mozilla.org/pluginCheck/
The problem is that the site has been updated to reflect the release of Java 8, and accordingly the site considers Java SE 7 to be old now. (The way the site is designed, it does not follow demoulante 'current'.) But Oracle offers no Java SE 8 on java.com; If you wanted to, you must go to oracle.com to get.
For now, I suggest to tolerate the message from the site of Plugin Checker that you have an old version of Java SE and relying on the Java Update to keep it in the series of Java SE 7. At one point, Oracle will feel comfortable Mobile Java SE 8 on java.com and everything will again be line up.
Associates of thread: 28.0 Firefox indicates that my installed Java SE 7 U51 is vulnerable (2014 03 20).
Regarding the deployment plugin, I think that there is another type of problem, maybe there's a bug or even in the latest version. I did not research, but not very many sites use it.

I get a Firefox error message that says, "something tries to trick Firefox by accepting a security update. Please contact your network provider and ask for help. "Do you know what is happening here - what could be the problem? (I have the latest version of Firefox already installed. I previously got Firefox error messages indicating "Firefox update failed". However, I already have the latest version of Firefox installed when I got these error messages.)
I think that we must hope that the problem will be resolved at the present time. If you see the error message again post in this thread. Also, it would be unusual get this message while trying not to update, but if you get if you try to copy and paste the details of console error that they can be useful.
Use
- keyboard Ctrl + Shif + J
- or button-> Web Developer Firefox-> Console errors
This kind of message is apparently the only normally expected when you try to update to Firefox. It seems strange that you get the message using a 'Œuvres' document, but others have reported this message seemingly random incidents.
(So normally, you must clear the error console, and then try to update knowing the error messages have been the result of this attempt to update)If I had this problem my concern would be that some kind of malware may be involved, but the message can then indicate that all this malicious program is upset.

Why Firefox continue to try to be better when I'm updating?
I have (Firefox automatically) upgraded to the version: Firefox/3.6.13 about 10 days ago, but the FF continues automatically periodically (every two days?) Download the same update and install it, over and over again. He did about 3 or 4 times now. I use FF (or Mozilla) for about 10 years, and I've never seen that happen before. What is going on?
