I just got a notice that Firefox 24 is not the last update. Also the logo on this site was different; No Fox
I was working in Firefox and instead of the site I was going to, I received the message above with a popup that took me to download URL http://dh45.info/popsh9gng0smncpaon3/lp9b2/uns.php?ubn=ff & keyword = pop_lp9b2_608. This notice also had a different logo from the usual Fox: http://dh45.info/popsh9gng0smncpaon3/images/ff_alt1.png. I was suspicious, so didn't upload. Is it legitimate or not?
Tom
Hello Tom, it is a phishing tactic that tries to trick you into installing malicious software, in order to not download or run this kind of stuff! just download firefox from the official site at mozilla.org - more updates are handled automatically by firefox if you don't have to download anything (you can run a check of updates of firefox > help > about firefox).
You can also run a full scan of your system with software security already in place and the various tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner & kaspersky security scan to make sure there isn't already a kind of active malware on your system that triggers these false alerts.

Everytime I open my MacBook Air with OSLion a sign comes up saying that Firefox is downloaded from the internet. How can I get rid of this sign.
Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.
You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead. -

I noticed that my user name in the C drive has disappeared and is displayed under the desk
original title: save files on the net / backup of the files in the C drive
These 20 to 30 days, I noticed that my user name in the C drive has disappeared and is displayed under the desk. In addition, whenever I try to save a file on the net on my laptop, this allows me to record only at this location:
C:\Users\vijai\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Virtualized\C\Users\vijai\Documents
Also in the Solution Explorer, while all other folders category, like documents, pictures, music etc appear in the left panel, these do not appear in the right panel. I also note that a "Application Data" folder appeared under my user name and all files stored in this folder only.
Can someone help me solve this problem

After the last mandatory update to Vista, I noticed that foulders image in my external hard drive would be stuck. This happens often.
Please fix this.
Hi Mikepolifka,
ؠ What updates did you install on your computer?
Try SafeMode as the first step.
Safe mode is useful for troubleshooting problems with programs and drivers that might not start correctly, or that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. If a problem does not reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. If a program recently installed, device, or driver prevents Windows from running correctly, you can start your computer in safe mode, and then remove the program that is causing the problem.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
You can also perform a restore of the system on your computer and check if the problem persists.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore
If it works fine after system restore you may have to manually install updates one and check the status.
Previous post: the result.

Where are all these files of uninstalled programs located?
Usually, when you uninstall a program, all files other than the game save files, customizers, or similar are deleted automatically, and those who are 'left' files are usually readily identified you can manually delete directory.

When I double click on my firefox browser a warning is that the latest version of firefox can not finish downloading as a version of firefox seems to work and I need to close. However I do not understand whether a version is running or, if to close it.
In addition I recently, by double clicking on the firefox browser, got another window, after the closure of the warning in the first paragraph above, on PLUG-INS that won't go away . So, I uninstalled JAVA and Quicktime plugins he said "stale" and tried to update the card of ADOBE which was also stating that it was outdated. I completed all the steps the update for ADOBE but the window PLUG INS always returns (without JAVA and QUICK TIME as they have been uninstalled) saying ADOBE should be refreshed even if I did. What can I do?Follow these steps:
- Visit www.getfirefox.com, download Firefox 19.0.2 to your computer (save), and then restart your PC.
- After you restart your computer, and then double-click the Firefox installation program you just downloaded (does not open Firefox). Update Firefox.
- Go to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ to update your plugins
