Firefox update

I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and had worm Firefox 3.6.3 in the installation. Now I want to update to the latest version for the safety aspect. But how can I do? I'm new to Ubuntu, I have always used Windows, so it's new in med. I read an update statement, that I found on the Mozilla site, but I can't use the advice that my older version of FF seems different. I have no "check for updates" in the Help menu. In windows, it is standard to download the program and install it by install.exe program, but it does not work under Ubuntu. Can you please help me of course it is a problem for me.

I'm not sure 10.04 LTS default gives the possibility to update to Firefox.

I'm new to Ubuntu, but especially use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and which will be updated, or even you can select another channel of Firefox.

The easiest options moving right would be

There is no need to keep the (canonical) installation Firefox3.6, because it is no longer safe or supported, but if you it would make sense to create a new profile so that each version has a unique profile.

  • Images are the scale is no longer with (img {max-width: 100% ;}) css from the 34.0.5 in firefox update, it still works fine in IE and chrome.})

    My site was working fine up until firefox updated 34.0.5. Now the images will not scale to fit the box more. I use flexbox so that the site is changing to adapt to the size of the browser. In css, I set img {max-width: 100% ;} and this would make the jpg file size automatically to fit the area they were in, but no more than Mozilla really screwed up this with updated 34.0.5.} My site still works fine with IE and Chrome, but 70% of my web traffic using firefox so I would really like this to work in firefox.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I work by setting a special parameter in CSS for the images that I needed to scale and then I have it referenced by SPAN for each img in HTML, not quite how I wanted it to work since now images filling the box even with monitors really big format, which means that they could now be blurred on a 4 k monitor but firefox left me no choice. Looks like I have going to aid in future chrome like firefox really shit the bed on this 34.0.5 updated

  • My windows 8.1 does not work with the new Firefox update. It worked before the upgrade. How can I fix it?

    After Firefox updated itself automatically, Firefox would not work. I couldn't go online on Firefox because it doesn't open at all. The old Firefox worked.

    You may have seen this article during the process to submit your question, but just in case:

    Are you familiar with Windows Task Manager? It allows to determine whether Firefox is present in memory and to cease so that you can try to start again.

    To access the Task Manager, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc. You will need to approve the program to make changes to your system. The 'Applications' tab usually has an entry for every visible window. I guess that Firefox will not be there, but if it is and you do not see the window, it's a different problem.

    The "Process" tab will list firefox.exe if Firefox is running in memory, or if it has started and stalled. If it is just sitting there, click it, and then use it button end process to kill him.

    Then, try to start Firefox in Safe Mode. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    A small dialog box should appear. In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Does it work?

    Firefox, update version 28.1 to 28.0. How is that possible?

    Browser seems to work ok. But never seen such a thing before.

    Thanks for your response!

    Firefox should have updated to Firefox 28.0 today so now you are on the correct version.

    Unless you were on the beta channel you should already have been on Fx27.x

    Release notes

  • For the last week or three Firefox updated two or three times for each update and sometimes for no apparent reason...

    For the last week or three Firefox updates two or three times for each update. Sometimes it refreshes without obvious reason. For example, I'll be in the middle of typing in the message forum block & it refreshes. Or by filling out an online form. Or simply viewing a page.

    You can check for problems caused by an extension that is not working properly.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

    After 24 of Firefox update, Windows 7 breaks after the reboot. The network in the taskbar icon is not ready (blue circle on the wireless network icon). But I can't do much. I can't open the network and sharing Center (never opened). Even the Task Manager hangs when I click to show processes from all users. I have to do a system restore for a network working again. I never even launched Firefox.

    Wow... I finally have the solution. Windows updates have been applied at the same time I updated Firefox. Bluetooth driver is what broke (which is part of the Centrino wireless). I ended up installing the latest driver from Intel, Windows Update, and then update Firefox... and all is well.

    I thank very you much for all your help. Take care.
