Silverlight 5.1.40728.0 reported by Firefox as vulnerable 41.0.1 / needs updated. From where? Why?

Silverlight 5.1.40728.0 reported by 41.0.1 as vulnerable Firefox / "update now" when I check my plug-ins are up-to-date. By clicking on the button takes me to the MS Silverlight download site, but all I get from following instructions is same version of Silverlight and Firefox same result. What is vulnerability? Why Silverlight can't be updated? I am sure to leave Silverlight as it is or should I turn it off? Or what? Why declare as vulnerable and who need to update if there is no recourse?

I think I found the answer - it's those pesky DRM vultures pushing again equivalent HTML5 cos that gives them more control over the things that we want to watch through browsers - discover this place for more information:

    don't know of pdf images - but this is a reproducible error the site up for each version of firefox on firefox 19. This is why I think it's a general problem in the way that they sniff the browser versions & probably, they will have to fix it on their end.

    Hi, friends
    I started my system, unfortunately I forgot to backup all bookmarks on Firefox, now how do I get these bookmarks in Firefox need help from your server

    Start or restart to activate something, or restart.

    Did you format your hard drive or re-install Windows?

    If you did a reinstall of Windows, look for a folder.
    It can be called old windows. Check the instructions that you were given.

  • You Tube is not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after the last update

    You Tube and other sites do not play video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after the last update for both. Adobe Flash works on other sites but not You tube and sites that can have embedded videos from You Tube, I'm not sure.

    Adobe Flash not crushed and no error message is visible. All that shows is a black screen for Flash video. Make a right click of the screen shows only a non-interactive 'a film has not loaded' and the clickable link to the home page of Adobe.

    I spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this, but none helped.

    I sent sad face, letting you know what I think of the last update for this reason which explains pretty much the same thing, as I have said here.

    I have no other info but if I had a form any entry and queries you I might be able to provide more.

        I think the Flash 12.xx is a phantom. I can't find it on my comp. Only 13.xx shows anywhere but on the Pugins page in Firefox.

    Weird. I have no idea why it does that. Your list of details of the system shows that 13.0.r0 Flash.

       About the .Js I cannot find a User.JS in the profile folder but ther is a user.bk and other files that have.json. Should I do anything with these? 

    If you don't, that's okay. Leave all of the files.

  • Will be Firefox, apparently like the Chrome, being constantly updated on the unsupported SSE2 computers?

    Firefox is my browser of choice, but for purposes of design web, I also Google Chrome. I have however, like others, began to receive a message from Chrome claiming that soon my computer will no longer receive updated because its material is no longer supported. Like chrome, Firefox 28.0 - I - says a minimum CPU Pentium 4 or better requirement: Firefox has specified this good since I remember from 2011, but my old laptop, which I use for almost all my computer activities, including web design, uses a Pentium III Mobile and works perfectly well the Firefox. The specific concern chrome, however, which is now I see specified for Firefox 28.0, is a processor that supports SSE2: processor my laptop supports only SES (and MMX), but as I say it works perfectly well with FF28.0. So will be FF to end support for the computers of my harware (SES rather than SSE2 or better) specification?

    I don't think that there is no difference in the feature set; It's just that without SSE2 performance suffers.

    Others who are coming across this thread would know that SSE2 was introduced by Intel with the Pentium 4 in 2001. AMD said first it in 2003. The latest version of Windows does not work even without him.

    In short, if you bought a computer in the last decade, its CPU supports probably SSE2. You can check by using the CPU - Z utility.

  • Firefox 23.0.1 will not play videos from yahoo, running Windows 8

    I tried all the troubleshooting and checked the other bandages and users with similar problems, but still no luck.

    All plugins are up to date. Internet Explorer plays all these files without a problem, so I know it must be Firefox issue or bug.

    For example, I can't play this video on Firefox, but it plays on IE

    Problem solved! Download Firefox 24.0 Beta. All my videos from yahoo and BBC working.

  • I tried fixing to uninstall Firefox reinstall that did not work. I always get the same error message: Firefox has stopped working. May need to change!

    I'm not the only one having this problem why Mozilla does not do something? I'm fed up about & may need to change to another browser! Firefox is the best browser I've ever had, but not more! Here I could go back to the old version - it worked great! The new version is when I started having this disorder.
    Time for Mozilla to step up & get that a difficulty or you will lose more than me I think! I disabled real arcade & most of the other modules. That did not help either.

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  • Why "My Tom Tom" (GPS site) does not work with Firefox? I can't only get updates via IE.

    When I initially activated my Tom Tom GPS (Jan 2012) I did have a problem using Firefox. About 4-6 weeks ago, I tried to update the device and "My Tom Tom" wouldn't go with Firefox. After literally hours trying to make it work, I tried Internet Explorer and the updates took place without a hitch. Today, I had the same problem and after a few failed attempts to use Firefox, IE passed and had no problems. I don't know, but I think I updated my Tom Tom device at least once via Firefox and I think the problem some time after April 2012

    It is probably because you are running a very updated version of Firefox. I have a TomTom, and it works very well with Firefox 15.0.1. Try to update to that and then try again.

  • Damn Firefox updated from my old version and remove the toolbar google without even asking. Arrgh! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

    I use an old version of Firefox - don't know that - but it suits my modest must be perfectly. Why do I need a change? Firefox is not aware of my needs and apparently neither respect them! Arrgh!

    Thanks for the heads up madperson. Also, my virus program reminded that FF4 was vulnerable. I tried googlebar lite I fear proved too 'lite' for my needs - spellcheck, translate etc. I downloaded 4 because it supports the googlebar - later versions of FF it also support?

  • In version 13.0 is selected the option "when Firefox starts to show my windows and tabs from last time", but I always get default page of Firefox.

    Even thought is selected the option ' when Firefox starts to show my windows and tabs from last time "I always have the default page of Firefox.

    Hi Goldie_,

    I guess you don't watch this page when you closed Firefox last time. Also that you are not in private, correct navigation mode? Looks like it is maybe a problem with Firefox being able to save your file pref.js. You should try the steps listed in the preferences section that won't save trouble. Try and let me know how it goes.

    Hope this helps!

  • What is the URL from where I can download 10 Firefox for Mac?

    I can't use Firefox 11 for Mac because it does not yet support an add-on I need security. So, I want to go down to 10 Firefox for Mac in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

    However, I could not find the URL from where I can download these two versions of Firefox for Mac 10. Yes, I tried to put several keywords in the search field: 'Download' 'downgrade' etc. 'Firefox' "previous versions". I still couldn't locate the URL.

    Would you be kind enough to send me the URL?

    I found my own answer. This answer works for all versions of Firefox, not only for version 10, not only for the Mac.

    The URL is ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org.../releases/. From this URL, you then navigate to the directory (aka subfolder) for the version you want to download.

    Of course, you need to know how to download from an FTP: / / URL.
