• Sometimes, I get a notice from a site that Firefox needs an update. When I go into FIrefox, it says that I use the most recent version. What is happening?

  I wonder if these sites are trying to make me download malware or virus. If I go to the Firefox site and it says that I use the most recent version, I think Mozilla tells me and wonder "why a site told me that I have to update? I hope only that Mozilla and not blindly download something without studying. Am I paranoid?

  No, it's a scam which is the link to the site, mozilla does not use a site to ask you to update, it uses an automatic update.

• I have Firefox 38.2.0 and it tells me that it is the most recent version but online there is version 40 + and it won't let me install it.

  My OS is Windows 10. I have Firefox 38.2.0 and it tells me that it is the most recent version. However, I got emails telling me to upgrade to the latest version which seems to be in the 40s. When I go to the https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ website, it tells me
  "Looks like you are using an older version of Firefox."

  So I click on upgrade and it loads a file "stub". I close in Firefox, go to the folder where the file is located and run it. At the end of the process, he told me that Firefox still works and I have to close it for the new version to load. Then I go to the Task Manager, and he told me that no request to don't run! I went through this process three times without any positive result.

  What to do?

  I'll answer your question, but I suggest not changing your version of Firefox until find us out if having to do any with your plant, discussed here: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1078897

  At some point, there are two different versions of Firefox:

  • Public release of the standard/large: currently Firefox 40.0.2
  • Extended support release (ESR): currently Firefox 38.2.0

  The version of ESR is intended for companies who need maximum stability for their users. New features usually are not added for at least six months, although security patches are issued approximately every six weeks.

  You want to switch to the standard version? If so, this is how I suggest to do:

  Clean reinstall it

  We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

  (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 40.0.2 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

  (C) to rename the program folder, either:

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\FxESR
  

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\FxESR
  

  (D) run the installer downloaded to (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in the old folder. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \FxESR\Plugins
  • \FxESR\browser\plugins

  I need to know how to remove the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded tonight and my computer does not have this edit bar little to work with, so I can download the reader good Adobe and my internet was screwed up, since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I want just the old version of this back because I can't download the Adobe stuff which is necessary to protect my computer against hackers apparently not. It would have been nice to know he had a problem with the new update of Firefox BEFORE I downloaded it. I have Vista, which is usually a problem with Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run a lot of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.

• The most recent version of Flash Player problems with Firefox 12.0

  Just updated Firefox updated today in its latest version 12.0. After update, every website ran slow or freezing. I finally discovered that the culprit was the Adobe Flash Player Plugin. Disable the plugin back things to normal. I want to always use the flash plug-in, but have not found a way to allow it, without all the websites of freezing. I use a Windows 7 64-bit operating system. I tired to uninstall and reinstall the flash player and double-checked that I use the latest version of Flash Player. I erased the Flash Player cache, tried disabling the hardware acceleration option and restarted my computer several times inbetween. I'm officially at loss for what? Please help me.

  And it happened with the previous version of Firefox?

  I'm on a similar 64-bit system, but I do not use Firefox, but the 64-bit version: Waterfox.  Can you try and see if it works better than the 32-bit Firefox?

  Disabling hardware acceleration has not changed this behavior?

  Hi Jlhillhouse,

  It is difficult to solve the problems of the computer without knowing all the details. You should look at the link I sent you and especially to Firefox is slow - how to make it faster. I don't know any known issue as you describe, it's probably a very good bet for a response.

• Why the first Firefox page tell me that I do not use the latest version when the "about" in the menu help says I?

  I updated Firefox 2 days after seeing the message that I was not using the latest version. Download and install led and everything seems to work normally except that I still have a message on my Firefox home page telling me that I'm not using the latest version. If, on the other hand, I navigate to 'Firefox' - 'help' - "On Firefox" I tells me that I'm running Firefox 8.0.1 and "Firefox is updated.

  You can see this message under the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old default Firefox homepage. It seems that this page is no longer maintained. You seem to have Firefox installed with the latest version 8.0.1.

  If you want to than the Google search page as homepage, change your homepage to Subject: House (a new update version is now integrated into Firefox).

• Using Firefox 8.0.1, but welcome screen says that I do not use the latest vestion. Why?

  I've recently upgraded to Version 8.0.1 but when I launch Firefox home page tells me.
  You are not on the latest version of Firefox. Update today.
  When I open Firefox that says;
  "Firefox is updated.
  It doesn't seem to be the source of other problems, but something is clearly wrong.

  Hi aidanmac,

  Looks like you probably have the most recent version. I found this post by cor - el which explains what is happening:

  «This text on execution of is not the latest version of Firefox is hardcoded on the site www.google.com/firefox that previous Firefox used as well as the Google homepage seems not to want to keep this page more.»
  The current versions of Firefox is no longer use this site of Google as home page, but use the build-in on: home page as the home page.
  So Google assumes that you are using an older version of Firefox if you still visit this site and warns on the subject and invite you to update.
  You can use a different page than the homepage as subject: House or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle). »

• Failed to sync files - missing the most recent version of the file

  I have two files in the cloud: my Lightroom Catalog and previews file support and work between my desktop and laptop. I have not opened the file LR catalog of the workstation from the 3/10, but have used in on my laptop at all times. After you install the updates today, he asked me to sign the creative cloud, which I did. When I look at my creative cloud file, my two files had been replaced by the OLD version of the file on the desktop, changed the 3/10. The most recent version, current disappeared that I worked for a month. None of the work I did on Lightroom, hours and hours, no longer appears. Please help me find the latest version of my file!

  Also: it does not appear on the files "Archived" on my account. The last archived version was 3/10. If the file I used for the past month, never synced to the cloud, why it has been replaced by an older version of the file?

  With the recent update of the application of Creative Cloud Desktop (1.9.1.474), we have unfortunately introduced a bug that causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder and re-synchronization of all content. This will happen only the first time that the synchronization application runs after the update. This caused an understandable pain and confusion, for which we really apologize.

  Creative application Cloud Files contains a logic that supports the use of several Adobe ID. This allows to disconnect from an ID and in, but keeps the contents of your separate creative cloud. When you sign out and change identifiers, the app moves the previous creative Cloud Files folder and it's content and he adds with the already signed in ID (User@AdobeID). Then, it creates a main folder and begins to synchronize the content of the identification of new.

  The bug I mentioned earlier occurs, as the app believes an ID selector took place and as such, moves the current record of Creative Cloud Files and attempts to annex the already signed in ID. As no switch actually took place, it manifests as (unknown).  The application then creates a main folder to synchronize the data.

  What you end up with is essentially a creative Cloud Files folder with your new synchronized data and a creative Cloud Files (unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.

  This happens once, after the last update.

  The solution is to simply delete the (unknown) Creative Cloud Files folder.

  I recommend that ensure you that you have no pending change you can do offline and you check the contents of the folder new, main designer Cloud Files contains everything you expect of him.  If this is not the case, check the contents of the creative Cloud files (unknown).

  If there is still an incompatibility with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm that your data is there.
