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!

Thank you.

    Your Inbox is damaged due to become bloated and/or lack of compaction.

    1: view | Current view. Show all Messages is verified?

    2: If Yes to the #1, see if you have an Inbox.bak file in the Recycle Bin of Windows and if so, what is the date of creation?

    3: If Yes to 1 and 2, after the return before doing anything else.

    4: If so #1 and not #2, you will need a tool to recover lost messages if you wish.

    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And backup often.

    Why Firefox is not saving my log in info after that I used the option "Remember Me"?
    Whenever I get on a frequently used site where I have already indicated on the Firefox browser to save my log in info, I still need to manually connect. The latest versions of Firefox are not like that. I am running Firefox on both my Imac (OS 10.5.8) and on my Mac Book Pro (Snow Leopard), and on each machine, the latest version of Firefox does the same thing. I don't have this problem with Safari, but I prefer to use Firefox then please let me know if there is anything I can do to solve this problem.

  • Firefox will not identify FF username account on a new installation on the new computer.

    I know that I have the good username, email and password, because I'm looking at them on my laptop existing. But on the installation of 28 FF on my new computer laptop, and you try to start the synchronization process, I get the message "account unknown."
    When I choose the start synchronization process on my new computer, I get this sign in the message. But I can't sign, let alone start the pairing process.
    I did the front pairing process, recently, with my desktop and my laptop existing, so I know it works. Something about FF is not allowing it to recognize my correct email.
    I'm on Win 8.1.
    Thank you.

    Please update Firefox 29,0. Firefox is passed on using the synchronization using Firefox. When installing 29,0, visit Subject: accounts in the URL bar to get started with the implementation of a sync account.

  • I'm not able to open my documents pages. I get the message: the requested index.xml file is missing.  I wonder if it is because I have updates 10.11.5

    I have an iMac (20-inch, mid 2007) processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory and recently updated to el capitan 10.11.5.  I have Pages ' 09, and I can't open my documents pages and get the message:

    The index.xml file required is missing.

    I now see that it says return to default pages 5.6.2.

    I can open them as 5.6.2 then save tehm in pages ' 09?

    Can someone help me with easy tips?

    Only the Pages ' 09 or old documents contain internal index.xml file. When you try to open a document in Pages ' 09 Pages v5, you get this dialog on the missing index.xml. The key is to stop Pages ' 09 and then double click on the document to open it in v5.6.2 Pages.

    Pages ' 09 will not leave by simply clicking on the red light on the title bar of the document. As long as the Pages ' 09 continues to run, it will intercept all attempts to open any document Pages, including incompatible versions of the v5 Pages.

    This has nothing to do with OS X 10.11.5. He has been a user focused on the issue since October 2013.

  • 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

    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.

  • Firefox will not update

    Under Firefox 14.0.1 Mac OS 10.6.8.

  • Firefox will not search using google.co.uk after an update of Firefox 10.0.3 to 10.0.4

    I have a PC and a laptop, both running Mandriva Linux 2010.2. The PC running FF 10.0.3 and the laptop just upgraded to FF 10.0.4. In both cases, the homepage is google.co.uk. The PC is fine but the laptop will not try using google. I changed the homepage to yahoo.co.uk as a temporary solution and it will search and find. How can I get FF 10.0.4 to work with google?

    Thanks, this seems to have worked. I tried this before, but got no result, but I didn't close FF and restart it and that maybe why it did not work the first time. Everything is good now, thanks for your help. It is now closed.

  • Downloading the most recent version, the icon of firefox did not appear, another has instead and he won't get the dock applications folder

    When I downloaded the new version, the icon of firefox did not appear. Instead another icon popped up and I was able to put in applications, but he would not go to the dock

    This has happened

    Just once or twice

    == I tried to download the new version of firefox

    When you download Firefox from mozilla.com, you download the DMG, not the app file. Opening of the DMG file is supposed to load the disk image, where you can drag the file Firefox app in your applications folder. See How to download and install Firefox on Mac.

    So the question is why he will not remain in the dock. The app file must stay in your applications folder. Once you launch Firefox, an icon should appear in the dock. CTRL-click the icon in the dock. There should be a menu option "keep in dock".
