Update of FF, message says to restart to complete the previous update. I reboot with the same message. Tried to uninstall. Same message, even in Safe Mode.
I tried to update Firefox and repeatedly getting this message: "your computer must be restarted to complete a previous update of Firefox. Do you want to restart now? "If I click on no, nothing happens." If I click Yes, it restarts and I get the same message all over again. I tried to uninstall the program and get the same message, even in Safe Mode. I tried to start with a configuration of the previous system, but the computer would not give me the dates of previous configuration. I am running XP, and I deleted Internet Explorer, so I can't access the Internet on this computer. I tried to install the update by downloading the upgrade on another computer and transfer it to a flash drive, but I got the same results. If I go to control panel configuration/Add / Remove Programs, it says I have Firefox Version 13.0.1. For about 6 months before this incident, I get a message when I load Firefox, who said that he could not install an update attempt. If I clicked OK, at least he'd still go the old version. Now, he will do even that.
Hello, the installation of #3 in the initial response folder is referring to the entire directory "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox", not any subfolder or file in particular. If the directory is still present after uninstalling firefox via the windows control panel, and then if it please delete the whole folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" & try reinstalling firefox afterwards.

Firefox has been removed from my computer for a few weeks now, so with renewed determination I searched all single folder on my entire hard drive and found 3 random files with mozilla or any part of the word inside mozilla and erased. I turned off the computer and restarted a few hours later. I downloaded firefox 10 (still higher version than the one I was updating of a month) from google chrome and installed it. so thank you for your comments and help!

Update 40.0.2 is slow, hangs a lot, even in safe mode.
So, I tried several things in the troubleshooting here in support articles, but none solved my problems.
Basically, after that automatically put Firefox updated to 40.0.2, the browser crashes a lot on the opening and closing of tabs, loading Web sites as well. When idle, the CPU/RAM usage is normal, but opening or closing of tabs uses a lot of CPU (most of the time, 100% of the CPU is used in navigation) and it crashes every time. Scroll to the bottom of pages also allows the browser to hang. I tried to deactivate several plugins and extensions and I even tried to use the safe mode, but even in safe mode, it happens constantly. I'll post the specs of my computer (no), but don't forget that those issues didn't happen before the update.
Core 2 Duo 2.93 GHz
4 GB OF RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
GeForce 8400GSPlease, what is anyone has found problems with this new update? What should I do? I use Firefox since 2007 and I love it, I wouldn't move to another.
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.
See "create a profile":
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.
Start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) to see if it has an impact.

This problem is usually caused by
1. problem with the connecting cable2. the problem with USB port3. problem with the device itself.I suggest you try changing ports and cable. If this does not work, the problem is with the device only.In addition, note that the option to remove is not necessary to be used if you use Windows XP or a higher version of Windows and the device has an indicator of activity.As you can see, most USB storage devices are configured for the fast-moving, which means, no need to use the option remove safely. If you are sure of a use, for example, a file transfer operation is complete, you can remove the device directly. -
Hello
You can directly download the CC applications and authenticate with my adobe cloud identification information without using the desktop application? whenever I have try with the desktop app it says impossible to arrive on the same adobe servers when I'm connected to the Internet and I don't have any active anti-virus software?
Thank you
No application of cc, no clouds. It's the simple truth here. Programs cannot operate without him, since he controls the installation and licensing. the rest, we do not know, since you have not provided any useful technical information. Start by reading this (yet?):
What also good technical details are necessary.

I will definitely help you with this.

Problems with installing updates
http://go.Microsoft.com/?linkid=9666880

This will eliminate the conflicts of software that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in 8.1 of Windows, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista. You can also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.
