In preferences, I chose to have Firefox ask me before you install updates - but rather Firefox installed updates without asking.

Earlier, I went back to my laptop to discover that Firefox had installed an update. The only option that gave me was to restart now or later. I checked my preferences, and I finally got them to have FF ask me before installing.

The window 'asking' what you want to do only awaits if long an answer until it times out (if I me remember when it happened, it waits 30 seconds) and then download them the update.

  • do I need to uninstall Chrome before you install Firefox?

    don't know how or if Chrome will interfere with Firefox. I have used Chrome for years but want to switch to Firefox by recommendation of my daughter. Thank you.

    You don't need to uninstall chrome if you have enough storage. This will not affect your browsing with Firefox. Even if you want, you can import your settings and favorites of Chrome that you have used for a long time.
    You can see the article getting started with Firefox – an overview of the main features and the import bookmarks and the personal data from another browser. Welcome to Firefox!

    But having said that it will not affect your browsing with Firefox, Chrome silently installs an audio headphones and start when you start your computer, then you can uninstall it if you care about your privacy.

    Say yes you will pay attention, in case of dispute.
    In the filter at the top box, type empty .

    I would suggest you start with the variants "don't ask again" and make them false. Double-click to change.

  • Hello! I have already booked for upgrade of Windows 10 and my unit is Toshiba Satellite C850D and currently using Windows 7. What should I considerdo before you install the new Windows 10?

    I'm afraid that all my files on disk: D will disappear.  And how do I know that my existing drivers and programs are compatible with windows 10?

    However if you choose a clean installation, the contents of your drive where is installed earlier OS might be deleted if you format.

    The answer to your question is given by Windows 10 App itself. To check compatibility:

    • Open Windows 10 booking App.
    • at the top left, click on the Menu (3 vertical lines)
    • Click on the control of your PC.
    • It will show if there are problems with compatibility.

    It will be useful.

  • I have windows XP, IE7 and Opera installed. How can I do to fix my windows.

    I recently had replaced by Dell (XPSM1210) cooling system. The keyboard has been replaced and a bigger HD was installed. Windows XP has been reinstalled and updates have been made except SP3 and I also downloaded IE7 and the latest version of the Opera browser. Everything worked well, but I failed my configuration of Opera and couldn't fix so I uninstalled opera and it's associated files (settings). After that I reinstalled Opera, once again everything worked fine until recently. I'm having a problem with my space bar does not not in a browser. I have to hit the space bar a couple of times to make it work most of the time (press hard). I thought it was a bad keyboard and another is sent to me, but I just noticed that my space bar works fine in Notepad and OE then maybe that's not a bad keyboard.

    I have not reinstalled everything I had on my computer because I wanted to be sure that the basics working first.  I have uninstalled anything that I shouldn't when I got Opera, so I think I need to fix my windows but I've never done before (by myself). Should I uninstall IE and Opera first? Should I re-install my drivers? Should what order I reinstall everything? I hate trying to get the settings for my return to the way they were, I used the files and transfer settings Wizard, but I always had to make some changes, is there a better way to recover my settings?

    I hope I posted this in the right section. Your help is greatly appreciated.

  • I have Firefox installed 42.0 and works correctly. Yahoo on Firefox indicates this, but Yahoo on Chrome keeps asking me to upgrade to the latest Firefox

    I use mainly Firefox and Chrome only as an emergency backup. I still have backup third IE and Yahoo by default, thus opening 'IE' takes me directly to Yahoo.com. In Chrome and this 'fake IE', Yahoo says to upgrade to the latest Firefox. I even updated a second time to 42.0 Firefox but Chrome and 'fake IE' Yahoo wants the latest update me of Firefox. In Firefox, there is none that question. If so, can or should be done?

    And I don't know how Firefox/Yahoo and non Yahoo/Chrome or IE/Auto-Yahoo acknowledges what version I am running.

    Browsers generally identify themselves to Web sites. If you want to see what your browsers send, you can use my test page - the "user agent" string is displayed in red:

    https://jeffersonscher.com/RES/jstest.php

    It is a little confusing: browsers may raise on behalf of other browsers to inform Web sites that they can deal with the pages designed for other browsers.

    But browsers do not send a list of ALL of your software on your computer - thank God - so if you visit a site with chrome, it cannot know which version of Firefox, you have, or even if you have Firefox at all.

    There is an exception to this absolute statement, called Flash Local Storage Objects, sometimes called super-cookies. If you visit a site in the browser F and allow the site to use Flash and store data on your computer, then when you visit the same site in the browser to C, if you allow the site to use the Flash, it can read these data and know that you have already visited and connect your two browsers.

But rather than win my old home page with a central part that resembled this image http://www.googleplusblog.it/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/mozilla-firefox-start-page-1.jpg , I get a google home page. last 2 days I was able to restore my old homepage, but now nothing.
