Pop - Up Message - automatic update of firefox has not
Hello
I have a Mac, Yosemite 10.10.4 running version. I was doing a pop-up message on Firefox indicating that my automatic update has failed. Today, I had to manually update to Firefox 39.0. I am also running Avast Anti-virus for Mac.
Why are automatically updates does not, and what I can do to fix this?
Thank you.
Some anti-virus thinks strains used to update of Firefox are bad-ware.

I tried to enter in Firefox today and he said he was doing an update and Firefox would start in a minute. He did, but I was unable to access a Web page, including of mozilla.org. I thought I had a problem with the internet connection, but I could ping these same stations, achieve with IE (which I HATE) and my Vonage (VOIP) phone worked without problem. I tried to restart and stop, finally tried to reinstall FF. It say download, then stops and says download. There is a button to resume, but he isn't back. Finally, I decided to uninstall FF and tried installing again. Same result. Now I have no FF at all. I can use IE, but it's the hassle, simply because it's IE. I even tried to install 29.1 FF with the same result.
finitarry,
THANK YOU! That did it! I really appreciate your quick reply and your expertise.

Since I don't have an Android phone, it is annoying to have to close this tab before you do anything else.
Previous updates took me at the time that the first homepage after the update, I opened Firefox. At least this time Firefox has not tried to change my home page from the one I chose to the Google search page.

Disable automatic update of Firefox on Gnome 3, Fedora 15
The Fedora 15, using Gnome 3, I'm unable to disable automatic updates for Firefox, I am only able to disable automatic updates for the modules and the search engines.
Maybe you got a modified version of Firefox. Preferences, chrome, js or anything that may have been changed.
If the job requires you to develop on certain versions, and you make it on this computer, why not install multiple copies of Firefox, including the required versions. I'm sure that the required versions are currently supported versions. at the moment it is 3.6, 6, 7, 8 or 9
You must ensure that you use multiple profiles, so each has a unique profile.
For the problematic firefox current 6 do a clean install, remove the original program files, but not the profile files. (or possibly an additional installation in a location custom with a new profile - this allows you to retain the current firefox 6 and a firefox standard 6) Profiles can be cloned/copied if necessary, bookmark libraries are accessible from the other versions/profiles if necessary and several versions can be run simultaneously. (I speak from a point of view of Windows, but it is unlikely that Linux will differ)

The automatic update on Firefox poses a security problem as they say some sites
I just noticed that some sites say that the automatic update of Firefox is a security risk and I was wondering if it was true
No, it isn't. people work to update firefox to make it better and safer. and most recent version allows to block the pulgin in any page and indicates same elem in a secure page. It therefore becomes safer. Security risk may be running plugins such as java, shockwave etc so only run on trusted sites.

Automatic updates Windows 7 does not
Can someone please help me solve this problem?
Automatic updates stop working on my PC. I tried everything I could find on the line to fix. Automatic Update repair tool has no difficulty it displays error code 0 x 8007005. I even reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled Windows 7. The last time I reinstalled Windows 7, a couple of years, he had more than 300 updates which had to be installed. This time only 17 found updates and each of them has successfully installed. The last that was installed is the new automatic update service. After installing this update, I searched more than updated. The service begins updates but never finds any. I let it run for more than eight hours and it remains to check updates, no error messages or error codes are displayed.
Windows 7 update problems? First read this.
