I tried to download the new version, but my security asked me if I really wanted to download from an unknown source. If I was about to be scammed, or why firefox is not recognized by my security system?

I received an email saying it was the reporter that I was using an outdated version, and I wanted to download the new version of firefox. I clicked on download now. I am running windows 7, if I get a backup it box. I save it. so I open run it. When I click Run, I received a message asking if I want to run something from an unknown source... then I hit Cancel.

I don't think that Mozilla will send e-mail to its users and ask them to update to Firefox. I have never received such and I have been using Firefox from the day that it was released. Users will have to use its built-in or from its Web site update. This email is probably a scam. You must remove it immediately.

  • I tried to install the previous version, but keep on getting the latest version.

    I discovered that Norton Safe ID does not work in the latest version of Firefox (I also discovered that it is a problem of Symantec). I installed the previous version of Firefox and was so happy, my Norton Safe Search and Safe ID was back. I kept getting notices asking to upgrade to the latest version. I don't know and make sure that I do not start the upgrade. Unfortunately, while I wasn't looking, installed Firefox last version... I tried to return the previous version, but it keeps the installation on the most recent version. Until Symantec solves the problem, I would like to use the previous version. I have Internet Explorer, that I do not particularly like, I prefer Firefox. No idea how I can temporary solve the problem of Symantec. Thank you. Blenda.

    Hello

    This is a problem caused by Symantec do not receive an update pretty quickly. They said that an update is due at the end of October, so I hope that is soon.

    I always recommend use you the most recent and and an updated version of Firefox. This ensures you get the new features as well as all stability and security fixes.

    On the installation of an earlier version, if you want to prevent the update of Firefox, type Subject: preferences #advanced in the address bar and click on Update. Here you will find options to disable updates to update, but as mentioned, this is not recommended.

    I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look at another solution for you.

  • 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

  • Help. I could not find activation key for MS7 so bought the new version, but cannot install the new version as system thinks old version it

    How to uninstall and reinstall, or fix this problem.  I hope I didn't just buy new software I can't use :)  Thank you.

    Is identical to the old version new version, which means, are of the same edition?

    For example, is a copy of Windows 7 installed on Windows 7 Home Premium machine in addition to the new copy you purchased?

    Because, if they are, simply update the product key:

    Click Start, right click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click on the link 'change product key '.

    Enter the product key

    Click next to activate via the Internet.

    If they are not the same, then you will need to do a custom installation, with the following exception.

    If the new edition is greater than the current edition installed, then you can use the product key and upgrade to the new copy you purchased.

    It should be higher if Starter > Home Basic > Home Premium > Professional > ultimate.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/26/Windows-7-anytime-upgrade-%E2%80%93-unlocking-more-benefits/

    If it turns out to be something else, then you must use the new copy and do a custom installation:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:

    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • I use an eeePC900 with Linux OS. I can't upgrade my Firefox 12.0 to a newer version. I downloadec the new version, but I can not open

    I can't update my Firefox 12.0. I keep seeing messages that say my system is outdated and vulnerable to attacks. I don't know much about the right way to download and open things. Could you please give me detailed instructions on how to upgrade my Firefox 12.0 to a newer version.

    These computers usually use Xandros, a linux version is more actively developed. Unfortunately, I don't think that there is a good way to update Firefox on these machines. I suggest that you install a new version of linux (Ubuntu is very popular and easy to use). It's a bit beyond the scope of this proceeding, however, I suggest looking on a few linux forums. They can help you find a version of linux that is more modern, faster and more secure and help you with the installation and set up. You will be able to use the most recent Firefox at this point here, your OS will be updated and faster.

  • Before that I only had to type "IMDb" and press enter and put me to the site immediately, but now all these links come first. What can I do to make it like it was before? And my Norton safe password does not appear in firefox.

    Before that I only had to type "IMDb" and press enter and put me to the site immediately, but now all these links come first.

    Or I used to type 'youtube' and after knocking entered, I was took directly to the homepage of youtube.

    What can I do to make it like it was before, so it takes me directly to the site? Second, my Norton passwords and user names for all sites that have been stored in my 'Norton safe"does not appear in the browser. This will be available soon?

    Try to define your topic: config entries for:

    • Keyword.Enabled - > true
    • Browser.Fixup.Alternate.Enabled-> true
    • Browser.Fixup.Alternate.prefix-> www.
    • Browser.Fixup.Alternate.suffix-> .com

    and then restart your browser and try again supernatural imdb.

    You must use 'supernatural imdb' rather than "supernatural imdb" because you want the domain before the page for research work best.

  • Why Firefox is not recognized as a modern browser?

    Whenever I connect to most of the sites (gmail, youtube, google news, etc.), I get a message telling me that my browser is not supported and I need to upgrade to a modern browser. I am running Windows 7 and the browser is Firefox 8. I have reintalled FF8 after remove it entirely and it work first, however, when restarting it began to do the same thing, gmail for example, come in HTML and sites demanding the same level that I just made. I saw there was a problem with Adblock, so I removed that from my ad - ons, tried to find a way out with subject: config but saw no glaring problem. I also saw on the web that someone running IE8 has had a similar problem and told them to change some specific fields of EI in Regedit. I've done these, are not sure that they would be the same for FF8. Other browsers I use, Chrome, Safari, do not have this problem and I basically went to Chrome because this has been a problem since the day I installed FF8. What is the problem with the program, and why he switch back to inconsistent after a reboot?

    You seem to have the general.useragent.override pref set to an empty string.

    You can reset this default pref via the context menu to remove this override.
