FIREFOX UPDATES TOO OFTEN - STOP IT!

Similar Questions

• Firefox updates too often.

  I wonder what you guys play at, why the need to update so often?
  It's crazy. only 11 months ago, we were in version 3, we are now in version 7?
  What is going on? the software is not so different to justify a major version update.
  I am simply expressing my shock here how you have changed it, but a more serious problem. Here is the Add - ons. It seems to me that by doing a major version, you make it very difficult for managers of the add-on. I noticed that it becomes less useful add-ons for firefox and the good are get abandoned because they can't follow.
  don't you think you should slow down a notch?
  of course, I think that the development continues at a normal pace, but see if you can find a way to impliment updates important safety without messing up all the codes of the add-on? and without a major version update!
  We went from 6 to 7, and what has changed in terms of features? Honestly, I don't know because I haven't seen any real difference.

  Sorry, that you're frustrated with the new quick release schedule, many of us have similar feelings. The main part of the new annex is that releases are determined by now, vs the old feature-driven release date releases. If a feature is ready for release, it is included in a new version; If a feature requires more time to 'seep', it is deferred until he is ready - not more to postpone a date of release because some features need more development time.

  New features less and less changes by release version than in the past, with more frequent releases.

  A page like this should appear for each new version, after its installation. It's just a matter of reading on 'What's new in Firefox' to see which alter the new version http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/Firefox/7.0/ReleaseNotes/ .

  Regarding the module developers and the calendar of the week 6 for arrivals, the modules that are hosted here - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ - aka AMO - are made automatically compatible with each new version of Firefox, as long as they pass a compatibility check process and "testers" mark as 'compatible' with the extension Add - 0n Compatibility Reporter. Don't need a developer to do something if their extension was created successfully at first and meet the current standard for safety. 95% of the most popular modules are automatically 'moved '. In addition, with a week 6 Beta test period developers are assured that they will not have to redo all the patches, they may need to make their modules due to last minute changes in the Beta version, as happened in the past because of new features that have been modified at the "last minute" to try to put the release date.

  Night, Aurora and Firefox Beta testers are a large part of the "compatibility test" for modules that are hosted on AMO, so developers have less work to do if their add-on doesn't have all the patches and "testers" can point out specific problems to make it easier to find out what is a problem and help maybe the developer working on a "fix."

  What about self-hosted modules, it is a problem for add-on developers to understand to s. They need to rethink the gites accommodation vs using AMO to the distribution of their modules, or they need to find a different line of activity if they are unable to follow the program of quick release.

  IMO, Norton with their Firefox extensions (such as anti-phishing and secure password storage) for Firefox 3.0, 3.5, 3.6 and 4.o, were real slugs when it came to the new versions of Firefox, but from Firefox 6.0 and 7.0, they had their extensions updates update available to their customers in a few hours of shooting on the servers to upgrade to new versions of Mozilla's Firefox. I hate Norton for all the problems of their software caused for me over the past 25 years, but I must congratulate you on 'strengthening their game' with the new quick release schedule and responding to the needs of their Firefox using customers by providing a ' just in time ' updates. But they still need to work on their mode of delivery of these updates in a more automated method, other than the users who need to download and install a "patch" or manually run a live update.

  That all said, probably with Firefox 10 early next year, there will be a major change with the treatment of perceived the add-on compatibility Firefox. Currently the add-on must meet or exceed the version number of Firefox that is coded inside the add-on or the server of the AMO for the particular module, or the add-on is disabled automatically while the new version of Firefox is installed. The new way of handling it assumes that all modules are compatible - period. For not to sound too negative, but if (or when) a user has a problem because of incompatible code in one or more modules, it will fall on the shoulders of the user to understand what is causing their problem. I've seen too darn modules badly coded this last 9 years of use of this browser, causing all sorts of problems for me to think otherwise.

  It might be something on your system makes Ad Block edge issues.
  Go to the support site for the add-on. You can find it on
  the web page of modules. They may have a solution for you.

  You will need add protection blocking because some of them
  You can override with a concert of adds. I use;

  Adblock more {web link}
  Blocks annoying video ads on YouTube, Facebook ads, banners
  and much more. Adblock Plus blocks all the annoying ads, and

While I appreciate your efforts to maintain a version, make my job easier, I still need to test against older versions. How can I stop Firefox update?

  • Tools > Options > advanced > update: "automatically check updates":
  • Press F10, or press the Alt key to bring up the 'Menu Bar' temporarily if the menu bar is hidden.

• After the 24 Firefox update, Windows 7 64-bit breaks on reboot. The network in the taskbar icon is not ready (blue circle stopped).

  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.

• How can I stop Firefox update itself if it will disable one or more modules that are essential for me?

  I am running Firefox 19.0.2 on Windows XP (SP3). As part of my KASPERSKY INTERNET Security 2013 the following modules (all 13.0.1.4250 versions) are installed (a) keyboard Kaspersky URL Advisor (b) of the content blocker (c) money safe and (d) virtual. They were all active and active when the KIS was installed on 17/02/2013, but a Firefox update has disabled all. I want Firefox to update only if all modules are compatible with him, otherwise the existing version should continue unchanged. How do I get there? What is the latest version of Firefox that is compatible with these add-ons?

  BUT here's a BETTER WAY, "Firefox 19.0.2 on Windows XP (SP3)" user--(ou, dele de moins, une réponse moins dédaigneux).

  Without fear, go ahead and install the latest version of Firefox. (Worm 21.0 from June 1). Seriously... don't be afraid. But, then follow the 7 steps below to get you back in the saddle with Kaspersky capable.

  (1) right click on your icon of Kaspersky. 2) click on "settings". (3) in the left sidebar, click on "Web anti-virus". (4) in the next panel, click the "Settings" button... "under"Custom. " (5) (put a check mark in the box "Check URLs" (and everything else you want to activate here). 6) look for the 'OK' button outside of the expert group (is not in the control panel; it is behind this), then click on 'OK '. (7) Finally, click 'Apply' (if you must) and again click "OK".

  Best wishes to you and happy computing!

• after firefox updated the last time, adobe as well updated, now when some loading sites, I have a program needs you permission to continue which is Adobe DLM. What's up with that and how do I stop?

  The problem started when firefox updated at startup. This screen is what vista puts whenever you are about to load something again. I have already installed the adobe update twice and it continues.

  The Adobe DLM is not required for Adobe products to work. You can uninstall it open the control panel and select Add / Remove programs. In the list of programs, select Adobe DLM (may be listed as Adobe Download Manager) and click on delete.

• FireFox update erases the original settings and shoots IE settings instead

  I had considered moving away from Internet Explorer and Firefox will like our default browser to the company that I am administrator for. If I place a test configuration Firefox user like I wanted and then reconfigure IE to turn it off effectively. However, a disturbing event has consider me otherwise. My test user received an update for Firefox and updating pulled all the configuration information of IE rather than preserve the existing installation of Firefox. So essentially it disabled FireFox as well. I really don't want to disable updates, but I certainly don't want to go around and re - configure each of my 140 machines every time Firefox did an update. We also run web applications must have and relys on an older version of java. Even though I know that the latest version is preferred these apps simply do not work with them. Firefox in his infinite wisdom during an update disables my old version of java break my applications. I like FireFox, but I simply don't have time to micro - manage this piece of software. He must keep all settings for the installation of the original version. Is it possible to configure Firefox to do what I want to do it during an update instead of what he wants to do. I thought the software was supposed to make our lives more easy not bogg down day support run fixing fubars FireFox. If Firefox wants an alternative to IE, then it must be a step better. The reason why I want to move from IE, it's that I don't just have time to deal with daily issues due to updates. If Firefox is an alternative browser why it relies on IE to get its parameters.

  Hi rbowman there, I can understand how this topic is. Looks like you have configured Firefox on one or two computers. It also seems that you went with the normal version of Firefox. When you first configure Firefox it asks if you want to make settings, history, etcetera. In my opinion, what he does after an update too. Fear in the ordinary. If the employee a right to say yes I want that all my stuff from IE, and we know how that worked. Firefox made a version for the admin of TI. 'S called it Firefox extended support. This allows you to manage the settings and all that an admin would have to do without going to a computer. I recommend you try this. Hope that this time, he's better.

• background image of the page of Google in firefox is too big

  The background image of the page of Google in firefox is too much...

  In this case perhaps 70% of the time that I open Firefox on the Google page, sometimes, I open the browser at the top of Google and it appears correctly, but often (like now...), it displays the background image of the word "Google" so enormous that it cannot fit in the box provided for this purpose.

  The search bar appears to be blocked or crushed by this huge image and it is very difficult to find the cursor in there. I have a screenshot, but isn't sure how to get you again. Really hope you can help me solve this problem, it was thus for a few months now, I uninstalled all the zoom add-ons/plugins and have cleared the cache without success. I uninstalled Firefox with totally stripped of the re-installed Revo but the problem resurfaced immediately. This behavior does not seem to affect the homepage of Google and IE9/Chrome self-paced perfectly.

  Alternatively, you can clear your Google cookies in case there are some incompatible or obsolete parameters being sent to Google when you load the page.

  Save any work first (for example, Gmail, Google Docs). While displaying a page on the site:

  • Right click and select View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies".
  • ALT + t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies".

  In the dialog box that opens, you can delete all Google cookies individually.

  Then try to reload the page. Who help me?
