I have Firefox 38.2.0 and it tells me that it is the most recent version but online there is version 40 + and it won't let me install it.
My OS is Windows 10. I have Firefox 38.2.0 and it tells me that it is the most recent version. However, I got emails telling me to upgrade to the latest version which seems to be in the 40s. When I go to the https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ website, it tells me
"Looks like you are using an older version of Firefox."
So I click on upgrade and it loads a file "stub". I close in Firefox, go to the folder where the file is located and run it. At the end of the process, he told me that Firefox still works and I have to close it for the new version to load. Then I go to the Task Manager, and he told me that no request to don't run! I went through this process three times without any positive result.
What to do?
I'll answer your question, but I suggest not changing your version of Firefox until find us out if having to do any with your plant, discussed here: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1078897
At some point, there are two different versions of Firefox:
- Public release of the standard/large: currently Firefox 40.0.2
- Extended support release (ESR): currently Firefox 38.2.0
The version of ESR is intended for companies who need maximum stability for their users. New features usually are not added for at least six months, although security patches are issued approximately every six weeks.
You want to switch to the standard version? If so, this is how I suggest to do:
Clean reinstall it
We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.
(A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 40.0.2 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).
(B) the release of Firefox (if any).
(C) to rename the program folder, either:
(Windows 64-bit folder names)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
TO
C:\Program Files (x86)\FxESR
(Windows 32-bit folder names)
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
TO
C:\Program Files\FxESR
(D) run the installer downloaded to (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
Note: Some plugins can only exist in the old folder. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:
- \FxESR\Plugins
- \FxESR\browser\plugins

I wonder if these sites are trying to make me download malware or virus. If I go to the Firefox site and it says that I use the most recent version, I think Mozilla tells me and wonder "why a site told me that I have to update? I hope only that Mozilla and not blindly download something without studying. Am I paranoid?
No, it's a scam which is the link to the site, mozilla does not use a site to ask you to update, it uses an automatic update.

I have two creative cloud products and it won't let me install it in another computer
I am a student and the student service. I decided to hire the person for my friend and did through my account. Now, the system doesn't let me install it in another computer. He repeats, I'm limited to use in both computers, but I paid for two accounts.
Hello
You bought two subscription creative cloud under one account (your own).
If go you ahead and try to activate it on 3rd computer he'll give activation error, because under an Adobe account, you can only keep a single creative cloud subscription, which can be used on both computers.
in order to add on another computer, you need to buy the subscription under a different email address.
In order to cancel the subscription 2nd creative cloud.
Please contact Adobe customer care http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

I checked the updates of plugins Firefox 24 and it showed that I needed to update Java and VLC media player even though I knew I had the latest versions. I ran FF update for both links and rebooted but still said that both need to update after a new analysis. I uninstalled both programs then re-installed the latest versions. FF always says I have v2.06 VLC and I 'vulnerable' but the VLC software shows that I have v2.08 which is the last. Java is now properly recognized and are more marked as in need of update. How can I get FF to recognize that I have the latest version of VLC? Thank you.
I know that VLC has a problem that they don't update their file serving the Firefox plugin, and I'm not sure Java but you can check the licensing of Java on trusted sites.

I need to know how to remove the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded tonight and my computer does not have this edit bar little to work with, so I can download the reader good Adobe and my internet was screwed up, since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I want just the old version of this back because I can't download the Adobe stuff which is necessary to protect my computer against hackers apparently not. It would have been nice to know he had a problem with the new update of Firefox BEFORE I downloaded it. I have Vista, which is usually a problem with Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run a lot of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.

I had firefox for over a year and I recently installed on my computer of aunts. When I've done in the upper left corner, there was an orange box that says firefox on it. I have recently installed on my computer and it's always the same, as I had before. (Just the symbol of firefox) How can I get the latest version? It does not say I have the 6.2 or what is the most recent. Thank you in advance for the quick response to my question.

He said: I use an old version of firefox, when I have the most recent version.
Each Web sites (including Firefox.com...yet) tells me that I use an older version of the browser, but I don't know that I'm under Firefox 10.0 (the latest version at the moment).
Hello
This could be because the browser user agent has been overridden/corrupted by an add-on or manually. You can try of the reset.
Type of topic: config in the address bar (address), press on enter twice and start typing useragent in the filter: on top.

I went to my addons tab, and I have, in fact, have two versions of shockwave flash, a 11.9... version and a 13.9, which, if I'm not wrong, is the latest version. There is a 'request to activate, activate always, never activate' button for EACH module. I clicked on never turn on the old version and the closed tab. I then tried to play a video on the Web. He would not play, I tried another site with the same result, so I went back to my tab add-on, and the button for the old version had changed again to "always enable" in itself. He continues to repeat this, and WILL NOT stay on "never activate. Whenever I return to the page complementary modules, THE NEW VERSION IS DISABLED, SO THAT THE OLD ONE. I tried to uninstall the old version, but when I go into Control Panel and make the contents of the file, the old version is not yet there. I did start, search and typed in "Adobe", and the old version is NOT FOUND! The two versions to change back the turn on button and they both will disable themselves, no matter how many times I fix it! SMH!
No worries, I was just starting.
The Flash plugin is stored in this folder:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
The filenames for the plugin in Firefox have this model:
NPSWF32_13_0_0_206.dll
where the middle part (not in bold) is the version number of the plugin.
Update from Adobe should normally remove older versions, but if they are actively used, it is possible that the update is not able to remove them.
If you find the file, try to delete or move the temporary office.
Firefox may not immediately realize that the file has disappeared, but hopefully that will detect only after the next time you're out and start it back up when it updates its scan plugins.
A little luck?

I have the latest version of Firefox? And if so, why my home page says that I have to upgrade?
You see this message on the www.google.com/firefox site?
The current versions of Firefox 4 + is no longer use this website from Google as home page, but use the build-in on: home page as the home page.
Google assumes that you are using an older version of Firefox if you still visit this site, and warns you that you are using an older version of Firefox and invites you to update.
You can ignore this message if you are running the latest version of Firefox, as shown in the window "help > About" (Firefox is updated).
You can use a different page than the homepage as subject: House or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle). -
