• Firefox will not update on my Mac Pro. After reboot, I get the message to update available again. I need help?

  After each attempt to update and restart, Firefox will never update to the new version. I'm still at version 34.0.5.

  Hello!

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

     

     Click the close button

     

     ).

  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
     • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
     • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

  WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

  Please report to say if this helped you!

• Firefox will not update for my MAC 10.6.8. I tried and tried! I have Firefox 16.0 and my bank requires an update. Help, please.

  I see other people have this problem and hope that there is a solution. My Firefox browser is stuck on 16.0 and nothing happens when I try to update. It seems to download, but I'm still on 16.0. I tried every way to update my browser. Now, my Bank (Bank online) says that I have to upgrade to continue with them. Help, please. (computer: MAC 10.6.8)

• Firefox will not update for firefox 42.0

  I'm currently under Firefox 30.0. I know there is a newer version, but when I go on Firefox and click on search for the update, it is said that I am up to date. Is there a way of put without having to uninstall Firefox?

  If he has problems with the update or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a fresh install of the new version.

  Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the file to disk on the desktop image

  • Firefox 42.0: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
  • Basket of the current application of Firefox (open the Applications folder in Finder and drag the Firefox application to the trash) to do a cleanup (re) install
  • Install the new version you downloaded
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/installing+Firefox+on+Mac

  Your personal data such as bookmarks are stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose data when you uninstall and (re) install or update Firefox, but make sure you do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

• my new version of firefox will not save my user name and passwords - why?

  My version before I updated to 4 saved all my usernames and passwords. Since the update to version 4, it records only a few. I checked that I'm not running in privacy mode and have checked remember passwords and have a master password in the Security section. I have a laptop with Windows Vista.

  Some sites like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live, and bank sites use autocomplete = "off" to prevent Firefox to save and fill in the name and the password.

  If a site uses autocomplete = "off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove the attribute autocomplete and Firefox will provide store name and password.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered (bookmarklet)

  If a Web site creates the login via JavaScript form then the password manager does not offer to store both passwords (Bug 518516).

• Firefox will not play many videos, sounds and other Html5 applications but Youtube is fine.

  No matter what are the options I change (I tried everything under subject: config), videos html5 play not (format not supported, etc wrong mime type.). On youtube, html5 player works fine.

  Examples of videos does not:
  http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.MP4
  http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.WEBM
  http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.OGV
  http://www.html5videoplayer.NET/html5video/MP4-h-264-video-test/
  http://www.webmfiles.org/demo-files/
  http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody/test.html
  flow using the html5 and formats like gif player also like gifv to imgur.

  My OS can all play, I installed Windows Media Player.

  All my preferences in topic amovible.*: config have a default value, and I tried to change things - without success.

  I also disabled all addons/plugins, tried another profile, tried the developer version of 64-bit. I had the same problem on my old computer (I did a clean install on a totally new computer and imported via MozBackUp settings). Firefox Safe mode will not help either.

  http://detectmybrowser.com/ tells me that I can play ogg but not h264 or webm. https://www.YouTube.com/HTML5 told me that my firefox support everything that youtube needs.

  Once again, on Youtube, everything works (right click on the clip not gives me the possibility "about the HTML5 player"), elsewhere (for as far as I saw) I get "not taken in charge or false mime type error format.

  I use Firefox on Windows 10, but also known 40 the problem under Windows 7 and Firefox 3 x

  In addition, my plugin-container crashes whenever I close Firefox, I tried to clear the cache/history/cookies. No idea if this is related to the question of the html5.

  So, any ideas I can try to do html5 video finally work? It is very solutions use another browser every time for anything associated with Html5.

  Holy f * ing sh * t!

  In fact, I managed to solve the problem!
  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=9N0OHdRFcJA

  All I had to do was to start Firefox using administrator rights. So simple, yet I didn't on this subject! Why have I never tried this before? I managed to solve a lot of problems like this but never thought about Firefox could also be linked to it.

  In any case, thanks to all who responded, as well as all those who had to read all my rants in this thread!

  Solution: Launch your Firefox with administrator rights

• Win 7 will not update with 9 59 and 643 error Codes

  Were you able to copy and paste all command at the command prompt? It is normal that FORFILES to have a/c more than once as long as the other/c is contained in the order framed by double quotes.

  If in case you weren't able to copy the entire command, there is a possibility that he will not run.

  See screenshot below for the examples provided by the Forfiles command:

  

  

  Please repeat the steps listed above and an update on how it goes.

  Any new ideas?

  Please consider running Disk Cleanup, "Cleaning Windows Update" option. This operation requires a reboot that you won't be prompted to enter.

• Firefox will not update

  Under Firefox 14.0.1 Mac OS 10.6.8. When I get a message that I have a new update, I restart FF and then get a message that it cannot install the update and to be sure, I have no copy of FF running. But I only have a copy of FF on my Mac. I tried just to screw up FF so I could install the latest version, but FF is locked and I can't trash and start over.

• The latest version of Firefox will NOT update on my laptop or desktop, and the "firefox" button has disappeared. How to fix?

  I tried to update Firefox on my desktop since version 33.0 I continue to download and upgrade or install day, but nothing changes. Gmail still says the browser is not supported, and Mozilla says I use an older version and need to update. I downloaded from different places - the links provided when he said outdated sound and go directly to Mozilla.org for download. In fact, I uninstalled Firefox and tried to install instead of upgrade. It does not help. My computer says I have the latest version, but the internet plays an older version. Also my "firefox" button and another add on buttons are missing from the navigation bar, so I can't check 'about' to see what version of the browser itself says that it is running. How can I fix it? I use Firefox for years and this is the first problem I had that I can't fix.

  And... your check of software I actually running version 11. Clearly, it is not up-to-date.

  Your useragent is corrupt, or that you use Firefox 11.0 appears.

• Firefox will not start even after uninstal and reinstal

  I was using Firefox normally. I shut it off for awhile then I would never open again. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it did not fix the problem. I deleted the program files and profile records and reinstalled again... same thing. When I run it, the rotation slider works for awhile then goes back to the arrow shape. I have no more details to give.

  Thanks to Cor - el, that put me in the right direction. My problem wasn't with any security system, but with software that has been installed in my computer without my consent. I found it through all the applications in the window settings and programs. The culprit is "Interenet optimizer" (named exactly like this). After uninstalling this guy, my Firefox started without any glitch.

  Can you please try to install Adobe Application Manager of http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774.

  If this does not work then the safest course would be to remove all Adobe Creative Software using the uninstaller programs located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.  This should then remove the Adobe Application Manager folder also within public services.  Once the software is completely uninstalled and Adobe Application Manager is deleted, then you should be able to reinstall it from https://creative.adobe.com/.
