Update button appears when Firefox is updated

There seems to be a problem with the update of Firefox 5. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

I was running Firefox 5.0 and I noticed that Firefox 5.0.1 was released then went to help - about Firefox.

Running under my user account, the button apply update appeared, but when I clicked it restarted Firefox, but didn't update. Running in my administrator account, Firefox said it was aware.

Therefore, I downloaded the 5.0.1 file and install it manually. When I checked help - about Firefox:

-in my user account, the button apply the update appears always, even if the version shows as 5.0.1. and
-in my administrator account, Firefox said it is up to date.

So there seems to be a bug in the process of date back. Under Firefox 3 and 4, the updates worked fine.

See:

Delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.

You may need to remove active - update.xml and updates.xml so, if it is present.

  • Captivate 8 - quiz - keep the button appears when quiz is incorrect; only meant to show when the minimum answers are correct.

    I have a quiz 8 Captivate, I have been struggling with - having several questions, but I'll deal with this one first.  Right now, it's the button continue.  It is supposed to only appear when the answers of the quiz are correct (70% to 'continue').  When the answers below the minimum of 70%, the Retake Quiz button, makes however the continue button.  Is there a solution for this?  BTW, the is my button, a smart shape, I did and use it as a button to continue.

    The standard button to continue on the Quiz results slide appears always right from the beginning of this slide.  You cannot see towards the end of the time, or show/hide with advanced Actions.  One option that you have is hide it under one of the other buttons (for example the quiz recovery button).  Simply place this right on top of the button continue.  Then the learner can not see until they have passed the quiz or exhausted their attempts.

  • When Firefox has been updated automatically, it deleted my yahoo toolbar and I cannot reinstall it.

    When Firefox is automatically updated to 29, he deleted my yahoo toolbar and I cannot reinstall it. I go through the motions of the installation of the toolbar, and when I restart Firefox, the toolbar is there for a split second and then is removed from the display. I have since withdrawn from the Firefox's automatic update feature and update only if I deem it necessary and non-destructive. In the past, your software has also removed the Add on Social Fixer. I am aware that Facebook likes to not Fixer Social. Mozilla should remain neutral. You shouldn't Facebook dirty work for them. I can do without Facebook and I can also do it without Firefox.

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Uninstaller or the use of Firefox and not run a third remover as part of this process, because who could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. These can be recovered, unless they have been backed up on an external device!

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • Error code 1935, Code 643 & Code 8007000 b appears when I try to update Windows

    Hi, I hope I'm posting in the right part of the forum. I just had to restart my computer after a virus & I now get 1935 error code, Code 643 & Code 8007000 b appears when I try to update.

    There are currently something like 100 updates of odd windows trying to download right now & that none will not charge.

    The full error message for Error 1935 is - Microsoft.VC90.ATL, version = "9.0.30729.1', the public key token ="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"processorArchitecture ="x 86", type = win32" HRESULT:0x800736B3 "

    I don't know if this makes no sense.

    A small digression - when I try to update Java, the error message contains something about a connection "proxy" regarding the internet connection. I'll contact my ISP that do of course all is on their end.

    I don't have a great understanding of the side 'tech' of computers so I hope this is enough information. Thanks for any help you can give me :)

    I'm leaving the Vista operating system. Are you sure that you are now free of infection?

  • KB955759 does not appear when I check the updates manually, but it appears with the yellow shield after you have enabled the automatic updates.

    original title: Windows Update acts confused - kb955759 does not appear when I check the updates manually, but it appears with the yellow shield after you have enabled the automatic updates.

    I just reset my CMOS settings, writing zeros for my hard drive, repartitioned, reformatted and used the recovery cd Gateway system to get my computer to Windows 98se - factory settings, except at the beginning of the recovery of the system, when it says "press any key for advanced options," I pressed a key and then I unchecked all the default (3rd party) applications including Norton and left only 2 checked: "Updated USB Hub" and "Windows Shutdown Supplement," while nothing has been installed, leaving only win98.
     
    Then I used my disc XP Home (SP2) update.  I, immediately after the upgrade to Windows XP, installed "Office XP with Frontpage, Developer Edition", then Norton 2012 before never connect to the internet.
    Then, I connected to the internet and continuously update of Norton, before ever hitting the Windows Update page. The first thing I did then was to activate Windows, and then activate the office.
    Then I hit the update of Windows "button" that says "get all your updates in one place... upgraded"Microsoft Update".  I, then, just kept hitting the page update and restart, until I find the SP3.  Then, I took a break, until the next day.
     
    I have an ADSL broadband, with a Linksys EtherFast PCI card.
     
    Then I got SP3, which installed without any problems.
    So I just kept "microsoft continuous update" manually (and reboot), until there is no more updates - EXCEPT, I always uncheck Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - which was the only screening at the final stop for the night.  I think that I ticked the box "don't ask me about this update".
     
    Then, in the morning, after you have enabled automatic updates, I noticed the yellow shield - Windows security icon (or whatever it's called), so I clicked on it and checked it was tellimg me was available [when I checked "Custom Install (advanced users)"].  What showed was 1 update - 955759 KB.
     
    After the problem, already at the reformat (months and months), see the yellow shield telling me there are updates available, which were already installed (before rebooting), I checked manually on the internet with IE 8, pressing alt, "T", "U".  There is no updated list.  Then I checked through my history of update (twice), and KB955759 had not been installed.
     
    My update setting is to let windows download ('important') updates, but let me choose when to install them.
     
     
     
    What is the right - Windows Update (NO update important reporting) Site, or the yellow shield (reports [a] kb955759 [update])?
     
    I can not yet confirm he is supposed to be an update for XP home kb955759, because I was unable to locate any detailed documentation on this 'thing' that protect the yellow safety seems to think is a significant update.

    Comment 2: If you will not contact the MS Support on this issue?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Just for the heck of it, I have disabled the automatic updates, cleared my browser cache, checked manually, updates from microsoft (windows) and found none (with the exception of software malware removal tool windows [which I have not installed]).  Then, I turned the automatic updates on, and without even being connected to the internet, the yellow shield popped up with the kb955759 "update"...

    Repost...

    1. If you open Internet Explore (only!) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and run a CUSTOM scan, KB955759 appears in results?... If so, you manage to install it and/or security updates available?

    2 after no. 1 above [<>], is the 'yellow shield' icon appears in the Notification area (on the left of your clock)?  .. and if yes, by clicking on the 'yellow shield' icon tells you that KB955759 or any other updates is ready-to-be-installed?  .. .and if so, you manage to install it?

    3 after doing 1 # & #2 above [<>], is KB955759 or any other updates offered as a ready-to-install update when you go off your computer?  .. .and if so, you manage to install it?

    ... I guess that clearing the browser cache does not erase 'downloaded' updates.

    Nope. If you want to clear the queue of the update...

    OPTION A:

    1. stop the automatic updates service:

    Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > click OK
    Double-click automatic updates > click stop
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    2 remove the contents of the download folder:

    Start > run > (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > click OK

    Open the download folder and delete its content
    Close the window.

    3. start the automatic updates service:

    Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > click OK
    Double-click automatic updates > click Start
    (Starting the service will take a moment)

    OPTION B:

    1. open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 [don't know the titles, etc..]

    2. make disappear/close the Troubleshooter automatically pop up.

    When Firefox updated to a version more recent., can I get into my control panel and uninstall the older versions?

    Hello, when there is an older version on the dashboard next to the version currently installed it is usually only one entry of rest that does not get removed correctly (the former firefox program will be not present on your hard drive any longer). If you choose to uninstall the old writing, it will probably remove the current version of your hard drive instead.

  • Bookmark button to show Firefox when the Menu is visible

    Just updated to FF25 of FF22 and decided to have the toolbar of Menu visible, and everything was fine. Until I restarted FF and now my bookmark dropdown BUTTON disappeared. I go to customize and the button reappears, but as soon as I close the window customize, it disappears. I then hide the bar menu, if just the Menu title bar button appears and the bookmark drop down button reappears. WTH? Why every time FF is updated I have to spend time scrounging Google to 'fix' things to the way they were?

    So, how can I get the Drop Down bookmarks button to display AND have the Bar Menu visible at the same time? To answer to those who wonder, why? or there is a text of bookmarks drop down already in the Menu bar, I me in MOCK! I want the feature back and am frankly done sick a tired of all these small tweeks FF with no notes on what they have done and why. Also another problem, that I just discovered. My arrow of downloads is the size of the normal buttons, but when there is a download, it bloats wide about 5 buttons and 2 buttons in high, and the progress bar is half this height! When before it all would remain within the dimensions of size unique button. So now I have also remove toolbars, because it makes the whole bar 2 x height.

    It's hard, but I'm so frustrated with everything. When they worked well before and I've only updated for new features and security, but whenever the FF team decides to waste his time with features that have been there for several months or years, it drives me crazy.

    Found a link that showed me how to change a userchrome file, allowing me to force the bookmark icon to always show little matter what mode the menu bar is in.

    Seriously FF you are ridiculous.
