I can't download the new version of firefox

• Once I downloaded the new version of firefox, it flashes that it cannot complete because I have no privileges to certain things in the new version. Can you explain this?

  I get throughout the download process and move it in my applications. He then asks me if I want to replace the old version with the new. When I click on replace, a new window appears with the fact that my computer does not have privileges for the operations so I can not complete the process. Well, that really gets me, is that it appears always say that I need to download the new version. I don't know what to do.

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

  Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)

• I downloaded the new version of firefox twice still keep still getting the message that my version is obsolete and unprotected

  Your user agent string (identifies the version of the browser) reports that you have Firefox 3.5.19 and not 4.0.1

  A quick look to confirm which version you have, if the bookmarks menu has an object called "organize bookmarks" you use Firefox 3.5.19, if it has one element called "show all bookmarks" you Firefox 4

  If you have Firefox 4, you must reset your user agent string so that it correctly identifies the version of Firefox.

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Locate the general.useragent.overridepreference, right-click on it and select Reset, this function will set the default user agent string in Firefox 4

  There are other user agent string settings that may have changed, but these are no longer used in Firefox 4. You can reset them if you want, for details, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser

  If you have Firefox 3.5.19, you can use the integrated update system. In using the menu, select "Check for Updates" and it should offer to install Firefox 4.0.1

• I downloaded the new version, but firefox says always that I must update - why, and if there's a step 'install' miss me why are there no instructions on how to do?

  Why Firefox didn't insist that I still use version 3. It doesn't matter when I downloaded faithfully new versions when he tells me to do so-recently version 8. whatever (today). If "downloading" is not enough and there is also a stage of 'install', I still find anywhere in Firefox that tells me how to do. I restarted my computer, but this does not seem to make a difference. He always tells me that I use an outdated version that soon is not supported.

  There are 2 ways to update 1) using the built-in update function and 2) download an install version complete.

  Let's do #2 for now. Go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the exe on your desktop. Closing Firefox. Run the installation program that you downloaded to your desktop. Open Firefox. If you always said you run the 3.6.24 version, your user agent can be spoiled. If this is the case do the following:

  Enter about: config in the URL bar and press ENTER.

  If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access this page.

  Filter = general.useragent.

  The preferences that are bold, one line at a time, right-click and select Reset.

  Then restart Firefox

• How can I install the new version of Firefox?

  Try this:

  • Download the installer of Firefox and save the file to the desktop
    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/

• I can't download the new version of adobe reader for my MacBook Pro.  Help, please?

  I can't download a more recent version of the Adobe reader for my MacBook Pro.  What can I do?

  The menu bar is the line at the top of your Mac screen. Start with an Apple, then the name of the application (such as Safari), then other options such as File, Edit, View.

  The message is confusing, because in this case, it means 'you are using Adobe Reader' in this application.

  I think that this article can be what you need, let us know...  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Acrobat/KB/Safari-8-Mac-OSX-1010-PDF.html

• How can I set the new version of firefox so that the things that I write in journals and other things are stored in case I accidentally leave the page?

  In Firefov version 3, there is a feature that will remember what I typed in a journal or note the entry before posting. Is not like an auto-complete because test disappears if I browse pages too far from him. The usefulness of this one was that if accidentally, I sailed off the page before sending my message or my journal, I might just press the back button and what I wrote above would still be there. I had to go back to version 3.6.19 because version 5 does not have this option turned on, unless you preform a very specific routine. You will need to reactivate the ability of firefox to save the tabs when you exit. Then, you must close firefox while saving the tab with the page you want to write a journal about pulled up. Then, when you go back to firefox, you can tap on the saved page and if you accidentally leave it, you can press the back button and it is saved. However, it disappears when you refresh the page or try it on any other page. I would like to know if it would be possible for me to activate this feature in firefox 5, or if I should continue to use version 3.

  Try to use this extension.

• I can not download the beta version of firefox. I guss my internet runs at slow speed.

• If I download the new version of Firefox, the old version will automatically be uninstalled?

  This question is so incredibly basic that no one has asked before. But as naïve as it may be, I just want to be sure, because if the old version is not uninstalled, I don't know how to make that happen.

  Thank you.

  Eric

  If you install a beta version, by default it will not replace the existing version and is installed in its own directory. If you download a release version, it will be installed by default in the standard installation directory and replace what was previously installed.

• I'm unable to download the new version of Firefox.

  I click Download but no icons appear on the screen to be slid into the applications folder. An icon in the downloads, but not Orange Firefox, just the metal icon. What is my problem?

  The thing in your download folder is a "disk image". You must double-click it and it puts a white 'disc' on your desktop. It should also open a window with a Firefox icon and your applications folder. Then you can drag it to the applications folder. When you're done drag this disk to the trash.
