install the new version of firefox will save my old settings such as bookmarks and custom parameters
If I install the new version of firefox, it will save my custom settings and bookmarks?
It seems that you already have the latest version, Firefox 6. You can look to the right of your question or you can look at help > about Firefox.
To answer your question, update usually retains your personal data (bookmarks, passwords recorded, etc.). However, it is always a good idea to keep a backup of your personal data in case of hard drive failure or accidental formatting, preferable on another hard drive, a USB pin/USB/thumb/key or a CD/DVD, so that you don't miss them. I use an add-on named FEBE for me to do on a regular basis.

How can I install the new version of Firefox?
I had Firefox and then tried to upgrade to the new version. The Green install bar happens at about 80% and then finally message said: it has been discontinued. Now don't have any so, using the Firefox browser.
Try this:
- Download the installer of Firefox and save the file to the desktop
https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/ - Start the installation by double-clicking on the desktop icon
It is possible that antivirus software is causing problems.
Try disabling the anti-virus temporarily to see if that makes a difference. - Download the installer of Firefox and save the file to the desktop

I got the message to update my browser, I went on the site and download the latest version of Firefox. I update my plug-ins as well. However, I always get the message that my browser is obsolete. I uninstalled it, reinstalled, without success. Please help me. When I go to help and select about Firefox, I have that I use the latest version: 6.0.2.
Check general.useragent preferences on the topic: config page.
You can open the topic: config page through the address bar just like you open a Web site.Filter: general.useragent
If all general.useragent prefs are "BOLD" (user set) then right-click this pref and select reset.
It would be probably due the FBSMTWB on the end of your useragent that you had added the Fast Browser Search toolbar extension.

Failed to download or install the new version of firefox
I use windows 7 64-bit os laptop Dell inspiron 15R. My firefox browser was current until a few days before. Then soon it started crashing. No way I could support a window open for more than a few seconds. (If I restart the system it can last for a few minutes) Finally, as a last response I uninstalled firefox and downloaded the latest version (Firefox Setup 25.0.1). But now, when I tried to run the Setup file, it says that I can't run in the version of widows I use. but, I've been using firefox in the same machine for years! then another link, I downloaded Firefox Setup Stub 25.0.1. But running this file does nothing! It shows "Download" for hours without progress. Now, I was able to install a former 16.0.2 configuration file but I could certainly be upgraded. How can I upgrade to the latest version. I simply loved firefox than any other browser and I used it for years. This is the first time that I face this big headaches. Please help me understand this. (Thanks in advance for reading of patients)
Do not try the old versions.
I have two methods, you can try ninite use trying to install Firefox, http://ninite.com/firefox/
Or download and install from http://mozilla.mirrors.tds.net/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2025.0.1.exe
If you get an error message please put the exact error message and installation when you had in this thread.

Hello
Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:
- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
- On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
(you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."
If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

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.

In previous versions of firefox, I could use about: config to make the new tab opened as my home page. the latest version of firefox doesn't seem to allow this. I find it very frustrating that all the search engines seem to want to dictate what I see when I Browse. I wish to install the new version of firefox
In Firefox pref browser.newtab.url 41 disappeared. This pref has been hijacked by malware so frequently while Mozilla has decided to remove this pref to eliminate this kind of diversion.
You will need an extension like this one to restore.
https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/new-tab-override/Or to have your home page as the new tab page, try this extension.
https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/If you're using Classic theme restaurant, go to the options of CTR > general UI (2) and set your preference for the new tab URL there.
For Super Start , you can use the topic: superstart page.

After you install the new version of Adobe Flash Player yesterday, Firefox would not charge most of the sites except in basic html, as I understand is the right term for all the lists in the text, especially on the left side of the screen. They open in Google Chrome and IE. I tried to restore to two days ago, today I uninstalled Firefox and re-installed, I have tried several possible solutions in the support forums, but nothing has worked. I prefer Firefox but it will fall if I can't get this resolved quickly. Note: I only start from the principle that the new flash player was to blame as it happened immediately after. I don't really know yet what he does, it's just one of those things that appears and says he has to be upgraded to the latest version from time to time.
The Flash player plugin allows certain types of media to be displayed in the web pages. Otherwise, you get an empty rectangle. Usually Flash would not hinder Firefox to load style sheets, images and other elements that add to the raw text of the page.
You can try the reset function. It duplicates some data key of your active settings in a new file, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins (including Flash) will still be active, but may be disabled manually if you wish.
More information in this article: Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons. Please note that an old parameter file appears on your desktop. You might want to keep this around for awhile in case you need to save something from him
Does make a difference?

How to save bookmark to the new version of firefox?
The new version of firefox does not seem to be the ability to save bookmarks to a file. The instructions provided in support seem to be applicable to older versions. I saved favorites to a file several times before in earlier versions.
Thank you. I did not in the menu, but with the cursor over the bookmark logo, it is said to show your Favorites (Ctrl, shift, O) and which will get me there.
Problem solved.

An employer requires that I use Firefox 3. The other requires that I use the most recent version. How to install a new version of Firefox to another path without overwriting the old version?
The best way to have a version be an installation of Firefox Portable. The mobile facility is autonomous and will not affect your installation of Firefox "ordinary".
http://PortableApps.com/apps/Internet/firefox_portableOtherwise, you will need to set up a profile specifically for version 2 and make sure the correct profile is launched in each version.
http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/managing+profiles
http://KB.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profileOverall, you are probably best to replace your current version of Firefox 3.6.25 with Portable Apps - http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36 - version and install Firefox 9.0.1 that your installation "regular".

I get throughout the download process and move it in my applications. He then asks me if I want to replace the old version with the new. When I click on replace, a new window appears with the fact that my computer does not have privileges for the operations so I can not complete the process. Well, that really gets me, is that it appears always say that I need to download the new version. I don't know what to do.
If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)
- Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
- Install the new version you downloaded
Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.
