Sometimes, I get a notice from a site that Firefox needs an update. When I go into FIrefox, it says that I use the most recent version. What is happening?
I wonder if these sites are trying to make me download malware or virus. If I go to the Firefox site and it says that I use the most recent version, I think Mozilla tells me and wonder "why a site told me that I have to update? I hope only that Mozilla and not blindly download something without studying. Am I paranoid?
No, it's a scam which is the link to the site, mozilla does not use a site to ask you to update, it uses an automatic update.

Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

I was unable to update Adobe Reader in my computer; then I uninstalled the program. When I tried to download the latest version of Adobe, I received a message stating that the most recent version of Adobe is already installed on my computer. I don't see Adobe on the list of applications on my computer, any suggestions on what to do? Thank you...

Could you please tell me which OS is running on your system?
You must remove all traces of the previous versions of reader in order to download a new.
On windows platform, you can try running the cleaning from the indicated link tool:Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat cleaning tool - Adobe Labs.

Get the most recent version number of CC Applications
Hello
is there a way to get the most recent version of all/some products CC numbers? We want to make a list with the latest versions. On the website of adobe, not found any source, where you can easily get the version numbers of products. The creative Application of cloud is perhaps not the best solution to check versions. This should be done by a script automaticality every week/month. Is there any URL/downloadable file to get the latest versions?

I don't know, location of a resource on the Adobe website that provides this information in one alone.

I can install the 5.0.1 version but it won't work. I got this version works when someone elso was using my computer. I don't know how it happened, but the calculation froze and I couldn't run Firefox afterwards. I got Firefox to my computer. Downloaded the latest version once again and I tried to run it. I've done several times without success
It seems that the installation is corrupt.
Follow these steps.
- Go to Download Firefox 5.0.1 and download the installer to your desktop. If necessary, use Internet Explorer to download, but in this case, choose "Save" when you see the prompt. Do not choose "Run"
- Then go to add/remove programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and delete it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations, etc. (don't tick the box).
- Reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- Finally, run the installation file downloaded previously on the desktop.
Your bookmarks, etc., customizations are stored in a different location and will become available to you even once you complete the installation.
As a precaution, make a backup of your bookmarks as follows:
- Press CTRL + SHIFT + B to open the Bookmarks Manager.
- Click on the link to import and backup and then click on HTML Export and save the file somewhere.
You can use this file at any time to restore your bookmarks if that proved necessary. Simply reverse the procedure and choose "Import HTML" instead.
NB. If you use a download accelerator, turn it off before trying to download Firefox. These utilities are a common cause of corrupt files, in which case you get the error message you mentioned.
If this suggestion solves the problem for you, please click the button solved next to this post after logging in to the forum. This will help others looking for a solution to the same problem.
Thank you.

When I downloaded the new version, the icon of firefox did not appear. Instead another icon popped up and I was able to put in applications, but he would not go to the dock
This has happened
Just once or twice
== I tried to download the new version of firefox
When you download Firefox from mozilla.com, you download the DMG, not the app file. Opening of the DMG file is supposed to load the disk image, where you can drag the file Firefox app in your applications folder. See How to download and install Firefox on Mac.
So the question is why he will not remain in the dock. The app file must stay in your applications folder. Once you launch Firefox, an icon should appear in the dock. CTRL-click the icon in the dock. There should be a menu option "keep in dock".

I get a message that something does not work because the latest version of flash player must be installed. I go through the download and install Flash player, but still not the message. After installation, I never get the configuration steps. I tried to uninstall what ever version of flash player is on my computer before the download and install, but it does not help.
I also tried to remove Adobe photoshop Elements 9 and Adobe first Elements 9 but I couldn't make it work. I get a message that "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
Removed phone numbers that I am assuming that you do not want this posted on a public forum.
You can try going through the steps in the two faq from below. In addition, where you can go to the Version of the Flash Player page and see the animation and flash player version number displayed?

WP 3.2 says Firefox is outdated, applications on facebook, I received an invitation for Google + and it said that my browser has not been supported, I had to go on safari to register.
Yet when I click on "About Firefox" he says that I am running 5.0 and it is up to date. What is the problem with this dang browser?I just posted a similar problem to below. You told me the problem - thanks. My "browser wrong version" was caused by a former version being left in the "general.useragent.override" field number It would seem that this old version number would be removed after an upgrade, but the old version number is simply left there. I changed the field of:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en - us; RV:1.8.1.20) Gecko/20081217 Firefox/2.0.0.18
TO:
