If the latest version of Firefox is 17, why get invited to day 14.0.1 when I am running version 12?

I am running Windows 7 64-bit OS, and I currently version 12 of Firefox are installed (updated in May). I am building a browser vs. OS compatibility matrix, so I did a little 'Googling' today to see what Firefox versions are currently supported. When I opened Firefox to see if I was running the latest version, I got a prompt to upgrade to 14.0.1, yet the latest version is 17. This causes me some confusion. In addition, some sites offer Firefox 64-bit is not supported in WIndows and others say that it is in the Act supported. Could someone please confirm or deny this?

How many times have you run Firefox in the last 4 months? Remember that any postponement of this update? If this update has been previously downloaded, but never installed, maybe the installer wants to finish this work before check you for a newer version.

Mozilla does not have a 64-bit version of Firefox for Windows release. The 32-bit version works well on the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows versions.

There is a version of 64-bit third-party named Waterfox you could look in, but I suspect that any gain in the ability to use memory would be offset by reduced with modules compatibility...

  • What is the latest version of Firefox which can run unsigned module?

    I downloaded the latest version of the installer of Firefox offline and it will not run an add-on unsigned vital. I have an older version of Firefox (42.0) who execute him. What is the latest version of Firefox without verifying signature of the add-on? Thank you.

    42 of Firefox is the latest version of Firefox which has been made public. If you run a generation later, it's probably either every night, beta or Dev edition. If you have an add-on unsigned, you run in these editions, you can disable the requirement by setting xpinstall.signatures.required to false in: config.

  • Why can't Norton Identity Safe compatibility be integrated into the latest versions of Firefox? IE seems not to have problems with it.

    Firefox constantly asks me to upgrade to the latest version, which is not a problem as long as the new generation is compatible with applications that I serve throughout and rely on every day. I use the 40.0.3 version and it wants me to update to 41.0.2. If the Norton Identity Safe toolbar work with my current version of Firefox, what is the compatibility issue with a newer version of Firefox? IE does not appear to have this problem of update... which makes me consider the switch back to IE as my default browser. I rely on the Identity Safe to take care of my connection problems, and there is no need to deal with problems of incompatibility. I know I'm not alone in finding this aggravation with updates. (I use Win7 Home Premium, 64-bit).

    Sorry, this is a change in the types of code Add - ons are allowed to include. It was supposed to change in Firefox 40, but at the request of vendors such as Symantec, it was postponed to 41 of Firefox. I don't think this change will flip over. Norton is working on a new version, but I understand that it takes longer than expected.

    Here's what I suggest for users who need Norton password security features:

    Instead of freezing your Firefox on a non secure version, consider using the Extended Support Release (ESR). It is designed for businesses that require a cycle time longer between changes to the features, but anyone can use it. ESR is currently based on Firefox 38. It will get updates of security over the coming months, but not to get new features, so changes in Firefox 41 concerning the compatibility of the add-on will not be out for a good time.

    Norton is likely to continue to support the ESR until the new toolbar update is finished, maybe next month. After that, I don't know what they will do because normally they don't take over a small range of versions.

    If you decide to try it, here's how I suggest to install:

    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 38.3.0esr of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

    (C) simply rename the program folder, either:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Fx41
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\Fx41
    

    (D) run the installer downloaded to (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    Success?

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in the old folder. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • Behavior of toolbar button broken in WYSIWYG in the latest version of Firefox desktop

    We use a WYSIWYG editor for adding and editing the content of some Web sites that support us. With the latest update of Firefox, toolbar buttons to clean up the contents of the Clipboard as RTF or plain in gray text when the cursor is placed inside the editable text box. This bug is not exposed in any other browser and does not appear in the previous version of Firefox.

    MORE INFORMATION

    • Toolbar buttons do not disappear when the page is loaded; they can still be clicked to clean up the contents of the Clipboard until the cursor is placed inside the editable text box. While this will not break our editing experience if we could be guaranteed that our site editors have always been paste content into the empty text boxes, we cannot make that assumption. Therefore, the ability to place the cursor within the editable region before clicking on the toolbar buttons is essential and the disappearance of the buttons is a bug.
    • Listed above, this behavior has been isolated as being only present in the Firefox browser, and only on the latest version of Firefox. Is attached a screenshot of the correct behavior, toolbar buttons disappear not when you click on the area of editable text in Google Chrome.
    • When there are several areas of WYSIWYG text on one page, they are the object independently of the other. That is, clicking in grays only editable text one area on the buttons of the toolbar for this particular text box, and others remain clickable until the cursor is placed within their respective areas of editable text. Clicking outside an editable text area does not "restore" buttons to a clickable state. Once they dimmed, they seem to stay like that, unless and until the page is reloaded.
    • Other buttons on the toolbar, such as those to insert/remove the hyperlinks, or make the text bold or italic, are not affected by this bug.
    • Error was replicated on OSX Yosemite, El Capitan of OSX and Windows 7 Enterprise

    Wow, you have a lot of scripts on this page... I see the behavior that you see, test on Windows. (By the way, I had to use HTTP instead of HTTPS.)

    Edit: No errors appear in the browser Console to indicate a problem when clicking in the editing area, so disabling seems to be design in the editor, perhaps caused by a detection or object/property/method version detection problem.

  • Why I can't install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on Firefox 18.0.0.232?

    I tried and tried to get the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on Firefox, but it won't take. Tried through update on the plugin page, tried through the Adobe Web site and still no luck. I listed 18.0.0.232 version on my desktop, but it does not appear on Firefox. Anyone has an idea why not?

    You can download the 18.0.0.232 version here.
    https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

    Desinstaller.209 and then installer.232.

    BTW, Firefox needs a different version of Flash that IE uses and different from the one that use Chrome.

  • Firefox said that my Adobe Acrobat was out of date, so I have updated to the latest version of the Adobe Web site. Firefox has always said it is obsolete.

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I've updated to the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, but Firefox has always said that it is obsolete. I had the Version of Adobe Reader installed 11.0.12.18. The Adobe Acrobat Reader DC uninstalled Adobe Reader software. I read that the DC version is still buggy. I think I'll uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and reinstall Adobe Reader. Furthermore, I haven't opened the DC application and updates, but there is not. When I had Adobe Reader installed I noticed in the Firefox options under applications menu there is an option to use Adobe Reader (by default). I think I'll try this option. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Obsolete false warning for Adobe Acrobat Reader is a known problem, but unfortunately there is no way to repair at the moment (we are not the developers on this forum, just guys who want to help users).

  • The latest version of Firefox will NOT update on my laptop or desktop, and the "firefox" button has disappeared. How to fix?

    I tried to update Firefox on my desktop since version 33.0 I continue to download and upgrade or install day, but nothing changes. Gmail still says the browser is not supported, and Mozilla says I use an older version and need to update. I downloaded from different places - the links provided when he said outdated sound and go directly to Mozilla.org for download. In fact, I uninstalled Firefox and tried to install instead of upgrade. It does not help. My computer says I have the latest version, but the internet plays an older version. Also my "firefox" button and another add on buttons are missing from the navigation bar, so I can't check 'about' to see what version of the browser itself says that it is running. How can I fix it? I use Firefox for years and this is the first problem I had that I can't fix.

    And... your check of software I actually running version 11. Clearly, it is not up-to-date.

    Your useragent is corrupt, or that you use Firefox 11.0 appears.

  • Is the latest version to 31.0 for Firefox for mac?

    On my Mac, I click Firefox, then Firefox and find that I am under Firefox 31.0.
    Nothing no indication if this is the latest version or not.
    Previously, I had an idea that I was not running the current version.
    And I got a pop up box that showed that the computer tries to connect to the Firefox
    installation - I can't remember the exact name - that - I believe - began updating
    process.
    This box pop up ran for a while and doesn't finish before disappearing unretrievably
    from the screen that I took computer redundant measures.
    So... now I wonder:
    Do I have the latest Firefox installation or not?

    No, the latest version is Firefox 37.0.1. 31 Firefox is only if you are running the enterprise version of Firefox (if you're at home, you shouldn't be).

    You can download and install the latest version of www.getfirefox.com and just install on your current Firefox. It will save all of your data.

  • Firefox tells me to update Adobe Reader and after I try to do Adobe said that I already have the latest version.

    Firefox shows that my Adobe Reader software must be updated to version 11.0.84 and when I try to update Adobe Reader, it tells me that I already have.

    I also did an update of Firefox and I still have the same problem. I use Windows XP SP3. I don't know what to do. Thank you. Please tell me what I should do next.

    Thank you.

    Adobe only offers versions of basic as a full download.
    If there is a newer version then you must always run the update of the player until you get is no longer a proposed update.

    For Adobe Reader, which is 11.0.8 as you can see from what the above posted other versions web page.

    If you have updated to the latest version of AR which is available for your OS (XP SP3) then you are fine and can ignore the page check plugin: the plugin AR.
