Firefox's automatic update fails. Does not connect to update server why?

I use Mac OS X Version 10.7.4. I'm also under Firefox version 14.0.1. I am invited to upgrade to version 15, but trying to update, the Update window hangs up for hours and is never spent "connection to the server." I tried to install version 15 and trash my last version however I get another pop up box that says something like "can't complete because of certain elements are ignored." I followed the troubleshooting instructions (file > info, and then make sure that all items are unlocked) but this still does not resolve my problem. Can anyone offer some advice? Please?

Hi suzumaki

If there is a problem with the update or permissions best, fastest and safest is to download and install firefox:

1. download a copy of the latest http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html firefox

2. Trash , install the current application of Firefox to do a cleaning.

3. install the version you downloaded.

Do not select to delete your personal data, your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

    My phone is BB 8900 and OS 4.6.1

    WAP connection will pass through the gateway of the carrier.  This gateway can oppose your respect, or might be trying to optimize the data, or can display a login page for you.  Try the same URL that you use in your program, directly with the WAP browser on the device and see if that runs through effectively.

  • Dreamweaver (on Windows 7) does not connect to the server, IIS (v7) using "FTP over SSL/TLS...". »

    I am weather evauating to buy Dreamweaver CS6...

    Trial of Dreamweaver CS6 (on Windows 7) does not connect to the IIS server (v7) using "FTP over SSL/TLS (explicit encryption).  I have a NEW Godaddy SSL certificate installed on the IIS server.

    On the connection between States Dreamweaver: "server certificate expired or contains invalid data."connectionerror.png

    I tried:

    -ALL Dreamweaver Server configuration options

    -L' use of multiple certificates (I tried 2048 and 4096-bit Godaddy SSL certificates)

    -Make sure the certificate "issued to the"domain name is my domain name. "

    I am able to connect without a problem with Filezilla, Filezilla equivalent affecting 'explicitly require FTP over TLS.  I can connect both using Microsoft Expression web.

    This has been discussed previously. I recommend reading my old thread for details:

    http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/889530

    But to make a long story short, Godaddy is incorrectly signed SSL certificates on shared servers.  The servers/ips/domains and the certificate do not match.  So DW and many other tools fail authenticate with Godaddy SSL connections.  Some users have stated that other tools FTP, such as Filezilla as you mentioned, bypass and automatically change your connection to insecurity, but DW is very picky.  Once you modify encryption against zero, the connection will be accepted.  Best solution is if you want a certificate SSL correctly signed move to another host because Godaddy refuses to admit that they are wrong with SSL certificates on their sites.  These warnings will appear also to your users if you have a store saying the SSL certificate does not match the domain/ip and this can make users checking in a very nervous showcase.

  • iPad does not connect to the server

    Kind of, it looks like my iPad has disappeared and twisted his tail (connection) and got lost somewhere in cyberspace.

    Yesterday morning he opens to the screen Hello > Slide Set up who brought up the screen 'could not activate iPad' with the message "your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is not reachable. Try to connect the iPad to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes. If the problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support".

    This condition actually began three days when it does not connect to my Airport wireless internet and I could not he deleted.  I made the troubleshooting on the dome using Airport utility that showed connections to the top and the green. My main computer is not affected. I was able to put a return by making a total system power off for a few minutes and then turned on one at a time with the modem (cable) beginning (all equipment - computers, iPad, modem and airport), then the airport, my main computer (2003 iMac screen all-in-one flat) then the dome of the iMac. They are all restored correctly at full speed. At the point where I was interested only in the dome as I was doing some work on it using Classic applications and did not activate the iPad until the most late in the evening.

    I was wondering what is happening and if there is an inexpensive way to get it running again?

  • Yahoo mail does not connect to the server on one of my accounts

    Yahoo mail does not connect to internet

    Hello Curt,.

    Thank you for asking your question here in Apple Support communities. Seems that Yahoo does not connect on your iPhone 6s. I understand not email how important is for everything these days. I will try to suggest a few things you can do to test one we hope to get this up and ongoing run as you expect.

    The first thing we want to make sure is that all your data is safe. You can perform a backup to iCloud or iTunes. Use this article to help with this: backing up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

    Once your data is safe, try under Troubleshooting in this Apple support article: get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

    If you have any question, you may want to try this reset: If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch connects to a Wi-Fi network. Use the section titled still not 'connect?' and follow the steps to reset the network settings. This brings the network settings to factory default. Then, you can try your email.

    If your Yahoo email account is an IMAP account, you can check the settings here: Apple Mail search parameters, then you can delete the account and set up again. This article should help you with that. Follow the steps described in the article, but remove account, then you can add the account of the rest of the instructions. Set up an e-mail account on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.

    Thanks again and have a great day.

    Hi wildcar

    You can go directly to Windows XP SP3 . Download and install it from the link below.

    Windows XP SP3.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=24

    Ignore the text that says: it is only intended for Professional computer and network facilities.

    Important note: If your system has an AMD processor, download them and install Microsoft windows update utility for the processors not intel from the link below, before you install Windows XP SP3.

    Update for Windows XP (KB953356)

    After you are done you can try to install ie8 again, if it has not already been offered through windows update.

  • Update to Firefox 8, falls down and does not connect to a Web site, what do I do?

    Before I updated, I could open, load a website quickly and we were on our way. However, I opened it and most of the time it HANGS after that click on a bookmark or type a site.

    Even when it does not crash, it does not load a Web site. I try another browser and load very well the network Web site is NOT the issue.

    I uninstalled the new Firefox 8 and returned to 7.0. I'm happy for the moment, but this problem is worrisome.

  • Just updated to Firefox 6, now right click does not work. No idea why?

    Make a right-click on any open page has no answer. Make a right click works in the menu strip

    Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the Firefox 4, 5, 6, 7 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • Dynamic binding will not be rendered, does not connect to the server, CC 2014, 2015 CC

    Hi all

    I tried to contact Adobe support on this issue, but after spending 50 minutes trying to explain to the rep what dynamic link, the cat no longer works, so I am posting this here!

    I'm on a Macbook Pro 2013, OS X 10.10.5 2.4 ghz + 16 GB of RAM and I run out of problems with links dynamics in CC 2014 and 2015 (both fully updated) - it is important to note that it has never worked properly , but in the past a few reboots, revision or import the model in a different way has finally worked.

    In recent weeks, whenever I try to make a model in Media Encoder, it fails to connect to the server of dynamic links - this happens when you add to the queue of EI (it adds the comp, but won't connect, once I hit rendering) or when you import directly from Media Encoder (sometimes he manages to read the project add the model file and then fails to connect).  The error log says "cannot read from source, it can be moved etc.".

    I tried the following:

    Pass all plugins (I don't have that some installed Trapcode plugins and a couple of old plugins of the trial) of '... common library' for the plugin in the application folder.

    Clear cache of AE and me.

    Disable the firewall.

    Test with very basic compositions.

    Reset me.

    Nothing works and make the files without loss of EI (10-200 GB) becomes impractical and blocks until the AE for hours - nobody knows what might help others to reinstall everything (very slow internet connection, could take days).

    I doubt that it is connected, but I also have license issues major since the move to the country and therefore duty cancel my subscription and re-subscribe with a new account (different username etc..).  Half the time the apps that I use (AE, first, Illustrator and Photoshop) will not open, responsible for account Adobe comes constantly, opening and closing. Normally signing off CC and removing the OPM.db file works, but not always.  Need me an average of 20 to 30 minutes to open any application Adobe, and sometimes they just do not open at all.

    I am incredibly frustrated to spend more time trying to AE to work I work in an AE - I don't want to not scream (Why oh why oh why adobe!) to you folk, but I feel like a fool to pay each month for software which opens at all, or that does not work when it does.  I should mention that on my iMac more recent (2015), with exactly the same applications and plugins (but who never had my old account on it) everything works pretty well as it should.

    Suggestions (apart from those you can find forums to research - I tried all MS) would be much appreciated!

    Updated - I think I've fixed it (either by the way it took me ages to find this post, because someone had moved without letting me know, I got so stuck in a loop of browser redirection, as Adobe had allowed me to change my username to that already in use.)  I'm not fan No. 1 Adobe this morning...).

    Three things I tried, one of the last 2 must have worked.

    1. I checked the host file, it was empty, but apparently rogue adobe references often cause this problem.

    2. I checked my installation in the creative menu cloud language - it was strangely grayed out, so I confirmed language than English, this could well have caused the problem that I've used French as the language of installation (I work in English, but teaching in French...).

    3. I think that this might have been what solved the problem - I renamed the folder SLCache (Support HD-Library-Application Adobe) in SLCache.old (effectively removing) then restarted the computer.

    Now the questions link license and dynamic seem to have disappeared, Dynamic Link is very slow, but it has always been.

  • Unable to send message AT &amp; T - does not connect to the server. Anyone else having this problem?

    All of a sudden I can't send messages on my AT & T account. I get a message that Thunderbird cannot connect to the server (SMTP). Called at & T and they checked all the settings. I can access my email account on Apple Mail and Yahoo (AT & T email provider), and yet I can not send messages on Thunderbird. I can receive but not send.

    I tried deleting the account and the recovery, but that has not helped. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Christ1,

    Thanks for the tips.

    Even set up a new account did not work. Despite AT & you s claim that it was not a problem with their servers and taking me through a number of measures to ensure what was the origin of the problem, he as magically disappeared as soon he came a few hours after all the machinations. So, still do not know what caused it, but it disappeared.
