Firefox keeps asking for an update, but is unable to complete. It is stuck on the "Connecting to Server" and turns for hours until I stop. Help!

I have a version of Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I used Firefox on it since I got it 3 years (?). The most recent update for Firefox and Thunderbird guard invites me, but when I say 'yes' to update, a bar with lines moving through it, and he said: "Connecting to the update server", but it is never a more far. I left for hours at a time and it does actually update or another program.

If you have problems with the update then more simple 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 DMG

  • 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.

  • Bytes of TCP IP and subset of bytes for the connection of server and clients

    Hello

    I have a problem on the server and the client connection using the TCP/IP protocol. In the client, I have 41 cases, 1 case of timeout, others are for the case of button when they are pressed and then the LED on the server will be to market and if a click again the led will be off. But when I reached cases 10, 11, 12 up to the 41 (key case), that the LED lights if you click only once, but when he double clicked then the light does not turn off. So, how you solve the problem? Is this subset or bytes to read because the first subset is 1 case but no 10 to 41 will not work, but I change the subset in 2 then the case works for don't light the LED, but it do not work to turn the LED off.

  • Cannot download files because Firefox keeps asking for consent and there is not a button ALLOW anywhere

    Whenever I try to download a 'broad' file Firefox continues to ask me:

    Firefox needs your consent to download large files.
    Please, click ALLOW to continue with your transfer.

    If you do not see the application, please click on the icon next to the address bar.

    I didn't have this kind of problems before up to that new version, I'm so frustrated that I think really switch to Chrome instead.

    And in case anyone is wondering, there isn't an icon request at ALL.
