How do I close Firefox so I can update?

I'm not computer savvy enough to know how to close Firefox, who told me that I had to do to install the latest version. If all windows close isn't enough to close Firefox, then what?

  • How to temporarily close Firefox?

    You try to view a youtube and he says I have to download an update from Adobe. When I try to download the update, it stops and says that I have to temporarily close Firefox to continue the download.

    Always better to go directly to the source of update of Plugins. You can never be certain you receive from another site; Although Youtube is usually a trustworthy site.

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:

    • an ActiveX version for IE only
    • a plug-in version for most of the other browsers including Firefox
    • On a Windows system, you must always update both individually.

    You don't seem to have the Plugin for Firefox installed version. If you did, in the Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash (version)". If 'Shockwave Flash' is there and is disabled, click on the button "activate".

    2. When the download is complete, close Firefox (file > button OR exit Firefox > exit)
    3. Click or double-click the file that you just saved on your desktop
      • In the install window that appears, select the check box to the left of "I read and...» "to place a check mark in the box of

  • How do I close firefox

    I'm updating Adobe. It tells me to close Firefox. I click on the Red 'X' in the upper right and it is not closed. I right click on the Firefox icon in the taskbar, and there is no Shut Down option. What should I do?

    Try to use the exit from the menu. Either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Take a break for 10-15 seconds while Firefox ends his cleaning before having the Flash Installer to move forward.

    Which works best?

  • I can't open firefox at all, have dl would be latest version... keeps telling me to close firefox before it can install, but it is not open... a lot of sites have implemented bookmark that I don't want to lose

    Cannot open firefox

    You must close the windows with the Windows Task Manager.

    1. "Ctrl + Alt + Delete.
    2. Choose the Windows Task Manager
    3. Select the 'process '.
    4. Select firefox.exe with right click and narrow tree

    When the installation is almost at the end, it will ask if you want that he start Firefox for you, if that's the case, refused the offer. Once the installation is complete, launch Firefox to your habit. Which reduces your chance to create a new profile and do not find your bookmarks, etc..

    The proper way to close Firefox is with file > exit not with the 'X' at the top right which closes just the window. By properly closing Firefox, you will have to depend on less often have to 'force' windows to stop Firefox via the Windows Task Manager.

  • How to create the content my client can update itself

    Hello!

    I'm fairly new to Dreamweaver and new to this forum so I would be very happy to help by the experts.

    I'm about to start building my second site and my client wants to be able to have content (type probably alone in a "News" section) that it can update itself as often there without contact me every few weeks. What is the best way to implement? I looked into creating a Wordpress in Dreamweaver site, but that seems a lot just to get there.

    Thank you!

    Yep, that will do the trick, make sure that the file content.php is saved in the same directory that the page news.php if you leave the link even in the .php include extract.

    It may take a little effort on your part to help understand what they do at the start, but he has always gone smoothly for me in the past with clients who want to make updates.

  • I can't uninstall applications on Windows 10 more. How do I uninstall Firefox so I can reinstall?

    I was not able to get rid of this malware. I need to start over. It doesn't let me go beyond "your video player for Firefox is obsolete.

    Navigate to the Firefox installation directory.
    Locate the subfolder 'uninstall '.
    Open.
    start the "helper.exe" file and follow the instructions.

    PS This is the first solution that comes in my mind (like for a long time I did not Win10).
    I don't know there will be more adequate means to solve this.

  • How we install CS2 disks, so I can update to CS3

    I have a mac pro, I discs CS2 and the serial numbers for a CS3 update but I can't install CS2 on my mac pro.

    I am also frustrated that no matter what I do, I can't do it in contact with Adobe.

    CS2 will not install on Macs to modern Intel processors. It is written for PowerPC Macs based only.

    That being said, you don't need to install CS2 to install your CS3 upgrade.

    Just install CS3, enter your serial number CS3 upgrade, and then enter a valid CS2 serial number.

    If your CS2 serial number is not accepted, try using one published by Adobe at this link

  • I can't get several tabs to stay when I close Firefox... no info on tabs don't either!

    I just got a new computer and try to install Firefox as my browser. I can't find anything about how to keep multiple tabs when close Firefox, and then come back later. They are all gone, and I have to start over. The only discovery of FAQ Ican ask how to REMOVE several tabs... I want the opposite. Help, please... I don't want to go to Internet Explorer.

    Thank you.

    Amy Klokner

    Hi Amy, one or two things immediately come to mind.

    First of all, you have Firefox start with your windows and tabs from your previous session value? This article described in dialog boxes can be set only: to restore previous session - configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs, windows and. (Go to "Configuration session restore")

    Note: even if you start on your home page, you should be able to use the restore previous Session in the menu background.

    Second, how do you close Firefox? The best way - from the perspective of pick-up where you left off - is to use the exit on the menu (File menu in the classic menu bar, or the compact menu displayed by Firefox orange button). If you close windows individually using the Red Cross, or if you right-click on the taskbar icon and select close all windows, and then when you start, Firefox can display the last window or the last tab that was closed.

    To view your troubleshooting information, if that is not displayed in the menu help, you can type or paste Subject: support in the address bar and press ENTER.

    Firefox session restore feature is a bit fragile: sometimes updating software will launch a new Firefox window session and if you shut up without restoring your session, poof, your windows and tabs have disappeared. If you rely on session restore, consider using Session Manager extension to allow you to return to its previous sessions: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/

  • Flash player 16.0.0.296 says now but will not fully updated unless firefox is closed, but when I close firefox that he says again that he needs updated. Why?

    my plugin update checker has been working well, so I know this isn't the problem. the problem is that when I update my flash player id stops at 95% or 96% and will remain like that until I close firefox and when I close firefox it then finishes update, but then what fierfox reopens it says he has again updated. I've never had this problem before so why now?

    Here is a screenshot and see the screenshot just copy and past this link http://i.imgur.com/MafjKdn.png

    Hello courtney-jane16, the result of the plugin check page unforunatley is correct, there was yet another vulnerability discovered in adobe flash player 16.0.0.296 who is already exploited in the wild.
    See the Security Advisory: https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsa15-02.html

    There is no difficulty because it published by adobe again and the button to update the plugin check site lead nowhere at the moment - so it's best to put the flash shockwave ask to activate plugin in firefox addons > plugins Panel!
