should I delete the old version of firefox before installing a new version? If so, then how can I remove and how?
I have an older version of Firefox and adobe on a Sony VAIO. I get telling me to update the pop-ups and also frequent failures when I try to use the browser. I try to upgrade. I go through the process of downloading, then try step execution and get a message 'not allowed '. I checked and I have administrator privileges, and I have disabled the firewall security software, thinking that it does not block the installation, but nothing works. Nobody knows if the older software are the cause and should be removed until the last version can go. Also, if this problem is solved I will have the same problem with Adobe?
What version of Firefox is installed on the computer?
You can find the full version of the current version of the current Firefox (37.0.2) in all languages and all systems operating here:
If you have a very old version of Firefox, then you might consider uninstalling this version of clean up the existing registry keys (especial the uninstall key).
Be sure NOT to remove "personal data" when you uninstall Firefox, because that will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.
Check the Firefox program folder and delete the Firefox program folder if there are still files left in it.
- (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
- (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

You should not migrate your new versions. You must install correctly using the installation files.
If you uninstall the old version, or makes no difference to the functioning of the newer versions on your old computer, and clearly makes no difference on your new when you correctly install the new versions.

A former programmer, I am appalled that such a poor version would be released! It reminds me of dealing with Windows 98!
Sorry to hear that. You can return to the v3.6.16, but in the end, support is removed for that eventually.
To return to an earlier version, download Firefox 3.6.16
Then go to add/remove programs and choose to uninstall Firefox 4.0, but don't check the option to delete your bookmarks, customizations etc. Those who will be selected for you so that you can continue to use them when you reinstall v3.6.16
Restart and then run the downloaded v3.6.16 file.
Check from time to time if there is any security updates released for this version by clicking help | Look for the updates

I have cs3, cs4, cs5.1 and 5.5 currently in my macbook pro.
I have to erase those out of my system before downloading the Cloud for the first time?
These old versions will cause questions if I don't remove them?
There is no obligation to uninstall the CS version when it comes to installing the CC versions. They must not interfere with each other, while CC is known to support some Cs applications as if they are part of a subscription.

Should I delete the old browser version (3.6.16) if I downloaded 4.0? The two appear in my list of programs. Running windows 7
Only, you need a version, but make sure that there are two versions installed. Sometimes the control panel may list 2 versions of Firefox, even if one version is installed.
If you have installed the beta version of Firefox and then updated to version, you will probably have 2 versions installed as the beta would be default are installed in a different location from the release version.
