  I realized that I had a message to update for a while then when I checked, I found that the app CC was missing. I downloaded and installed the application, but it will not update of software. In the creative cloud Panel, the only options I get are the Home tab to check the activity and the Stock tab. The applications tab is missing. How can I get that back so I can update photoshop and lightroom?

• After the update to firefox 17.0 when I do a scan with Norton 360 it does not pick up the tracking cookies which changed 16.0.02

  After the update to firefox 17.0 when I do a scan with Norton 360, it is no longer captures the rejected. These cookies that have been picked up with firefox 16.0.02 what you have changed? Plus, I'm getting sick of these updates - at least we tell users what has changed in new versions.

  First of all, we do not say what has changed in each version, http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/17.0/releasenotes/.

  Secondly, Norton should always be able to delete your cookies (just so that you know that the cookies are generally harmless, and you don't need to worry to remove). If not, you can delete the cookies in Firefox Cookies - Information that Web sites store on your computer

• Update of Firefox and now a virus!

  I process explore Microsoft (the one that has a module of virustotal) and after the update of Firefox, he said that a number of odd has seen a virus here is the link. After my heart having a panic attack, I checked the link is here.

  I think that now, after doing scans with malwarebytes, norton and herdprotect's can be a false positive, but I want more enalysis of others.

  There is one result which shows the file as being infected, so that is probably a false positive.
  The details show that it is a signed file and the signature is OK, so it has not altered the file.

• I did the update for Firefox 7 but when I open Firefox, it tells me that I must upgrade to the latest version which I have, how do I fix?

  I keep my Firefox constantly updated, but in recent weeks Gmail has been telling me that I use an older version that she can't stand even though I have the updated version. I was warned that Firefox could be updated to the latest version, I did. After the update when I opened Firefox it told me that I needed to upgrade to the latest version that I had already done. How can I fix?

  Having both versions is a possibility. The other is that the user agent is stuck to the old version of Firefox 3.5.3 due to some extension.

  Check general.useragent preferences on the topic: config page.
  You can open the topic: config page through the address (address) bar just like you open a Web site.

  Filter: general.useragent

  If all general.useragent prefs are "BOLD" (user set) then right-click this pref and select reset.

  We could probably due the FBSMTWB on the end of your useragent as the extension toolbar to Fast Browser Search added at some point and therefore the uptight version of Firefox. This problem has been resolved from Firefox 4.0.

• Since I updated to Firefox (which I love) I don't see anything when I open the download page. THiiS arrived on 4 PC

  Since I updated to Firefox, I see anything when I open the download page. This has happened on 4 PC. I have to go in my directory to open it.

  Hi Summerdaze,

  I'll try from Firefox Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode. If you do not have the issue so that all your modules, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the guide to troubleshooting Extensions and themes and article troubleshooting issues with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems as well.

  Hope this helps!

• When I updated to Firefox 5 has been disabled my realplayer downloader and now I don't know how to download mp3 files.

  the downloader realplayer download mp3 and then diverted to copy on the ipod. When Firefox updated for Firefox 5, a pop up says that the module of realplayer was inconsistent... so now when my mp3 play I do not know how to get to itunes so I can get it to the ipod.

  Because of security vulnerabilities, roll back to Firefox 4.0.1 is discouraged.

  Here is the process to roll back to 3.6:

  First of all, I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See your backup information. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).

  Then, download and save Firefox 3.6 on your desktop for later installation. http://www.Mozilla.com/Firefox/all-older

  Firefox is closed 5.

  You could install Firefox 3.6 on it (many have reported success) or you can uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, the entire program.

  Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left. If there are serious questions, please post back with details.

  Note: I have not actually tried myself!

• How to replace "apply downloaded update now" with "Check for Updates" in the menu help when the update fails because the downloaded update files are missing but the "Ready to install update" window keeps appearing?

  Question

  I have another type of problem with Firefox

  Description

  Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?

  Version of Firefox

  3.6.3

  Operating system

  Windows XP

  User Agent

  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

  Plugins installed

  • npmnqmp - 989898989877

  • Foxit Reader plugin for Firefox and Netscape
  • Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
  • Version 1.0.3 copyright 1996-2009 The VideoLAN Teamhttp: / /www.videolan.org/

  You can manually reset the software update feature by closing Firefox and remove the file "updates" (which seems you have done) and the two files "active - update.xml" and "updates.xml" - these are in the installation (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) directory or in the profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default).

  If it does not, see our KB article How to resolve the failure of the update of Firefox update error message - the section of 'last resort' can be useful, or or read this article from MozillaZine KB, software update.

  Please let us know how the above work, and if we can be of further assistance.

• I have Lightroom 4.4 on my Mac laptop. It came with the purchase of a Leica camera. When I check the updates, the answer is that there is no update available. Download Version 5.7 of Adobe's Web site with no problems?

  I have Lightroom 4.4 on my Mac laptop. It came with the purchase of a Leica camera. When I check the updates, the answer is that there is no update available. Download Version 5.7 of Adobe's Web site with no problems?

  Your license for the 4.4 release will not work with version 5.7, you can download it without doubt, but if you do not have version 5.7 download then it won't do much good.  If you do not have a license for it so you won't be able to use it beyond use of the trial.

• Why don't the automatic update to my Firefox always hang up when it verifies compatiblily with my addons?

  Towards the end of an automatic update of Firefox, the program opens a dialog box that says that it is to check the compatibility of the new version with my addons. He also mentioned that I be patient, the process may take several minutes. The process continues without normal ending, and I have to use Windows Task Manager to stop it. I have let it run the form as long as 35 minutes, but it's never complete the process. This has happened for each automatic updates of last 3 or 4. What is going on?

  It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.

  Delete the files (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/profiles

  New files will be created if necessary.

  See "extension corrupted files:

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/unable+to+install+add-ons

  If you see disabled extensions or is not compatible in ' Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions ' and then click the Tools button, on the side of the left end of the search bar to check if there is an update available compatibility.

  If this did not help, then also delete the addons.sqlite file.
