Impossible to update 3.16 to the latest version of firefox crashes
I have a less than a years Lenovo computer, running windows 7, 64 bit... I'm under 3.6.14 because... (drum roll please) I had the version 3.16 and then when firefox 4 is out, I tried and he hated, then returned (after looking for him and find the file for the old version) installed and kept, then my daughter insists on security, I update to version 15.1, so yesterday, I tried this, and it started crashing crashing crashing. She told me to get out all the previous files of mozilla, versions, I did, always crashing, then told me to try installing lower versions, I tried 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 15 ALL No. AVAIL! not open not except in safe mode, even if it does not open after the superior version. I don't KNOW what else to do! I'm finally back to use the old version 3.6.14 only because I've always had on a flash drive and could find no other door in mozilla, I tried reinstall (and Yes, disconnected, turned off computer, return, whenever I uninstalled and reinstalled) has spent hours trying to get there, apparently I can't upgrade to all because its does not work. I need to know step by step how to get to the last version, but without losing all my favorites etc, I've spent years to get those and my addons.
If Firefox 15.0.1 open only in Mode safe?
We're going to the following:
Download Firefox 15.0.1 www.getfirefox.comand install it on Firefox 3.6 (your daughter is right, that old of a version running leave your information at risk).
If it still crashes, try turning off hardware acceleration: turning off hardware acceleration
Finally, if this does not work, try resetting Firefox, Firefox Refresh - reset the parameters and modules

I have already updated Adobe Flash to the latest version, why Firefox may not detect?
Through a company rep IT, he helped to update my Adobe Flash Player already as well as the installation of Firefox 3.6
Now, why the firefox claims "You must update your Adobe Flash Player to view this video" when the Flash Player has been already updated to the latest (i.e. try to watch videos of youtube for testing).
There are two different versions of Flash, the ActiveX version that is used by Internet Explorer and the version of the Plugin that use most of the other browsers, including Firefox. If both are installed, two Adobe Flash versions should appear in Add / Remove programs in Control Panel.
1. download the file of configuration Flash from here:
Adobe Flash - Plugin version.
Save it to your desktop.2. close Firefox using file > exit
Then check the Task Manager > processes tab to make sure that firefox.exe is closed.
{XP: Ctrl + Alt + Delete, Vista: Shift + Ctrl + ESC process tab =}3. then run the Flash configuration from your desktop file.
- On Vista and Windows 7, you may need to run the installer of plugin as administrator by starting the installation program via the context menu if you do not get a UAC prompt for permission to continue (that is to say that nothing seems to be happening).

Since I have updated to the latest version of Firefox a few days every time I click on a link, or in a dialog (like this one) or try to pin something to Pinterest, a reading of google window opens. I have no new pluggi-ns and no Add-ons. I also scanned my cpu for viruses and none were found. What is originally this issue that drives me crazy, and how can it be solved?
To eliminate if it is a corrupt add on or plugin, please check if it happens in a new profile with just the pintrist on. This will tell you if it's a combination. Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox
Also sometimes an antivirus does not detect a virus that would be another. Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

You are not on the latest version of Firefox. Update today to get the best of the Web!
Whenever I update my firefox, I get this message, you are not on the latest version of Firefox. Update today to get the best of the Web!
It - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Page to start Firefox used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox. I think that Google assumes that you are using an older version of Firefox, as they hard-coded message 'upgrade' in this page - all versions of Firefox see this message.
From version Firefox 4, Firefox uses a 'local' with the address Start Page of Subject: House. It looks like the old start Page, but this isn't exactly the same thing.

You are not on the latest version of Firefox. Update today to get the best of the Web!Not unusual, but when I go on the site to update it looking for a minute and then tells me I have the current version of the software.
If you use the www.google.com/firefox as homepage site that previous versions of Firefox 3 use as homepage you can ignore the message about not using the latest version of Firefox on this page.
Google seems to keep this page.
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 use a different page than the homepage as subject: House or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle). -

Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
