When I try to download an add-on, it tells me that I have Firefox (when Firefox is the browser I use).
I can no longer add additional modules. When I click on the download link, I get a little pop-up telling me that I can download the add-on, if I first download firefox. The thing is, I'm on firefox when this happens. I have already downloaded firefox again.
This has happened
Each time Firefox opened
When I upgraded to the current firefox fersion
User Agent
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 NET_mmhpset (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Your user agent is messed up
1. in the address bar of Firefox, where you enter the address of web pages, navigate to Subject: config
2. a warning "This might void your warranty" may appear. Click on "I'll be careful, I promise!
3. in the text filter box, enter general.usergent
4. for each of these preferences general.useragent, right click on them and click Reset.
You should be prepared very well now.

Original title: trying to download
WinXP SP3, Security Scan run and d/ld: error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer. What to do now would be much appreciated.
Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool. For download, but read in the KB that: in XP, the vacuum cleaner will remove the malware, but doing so may trigger the File Protection Win with damages to my operating system. the tool will attempt to repair the damage, but to rehabilitate prior to infection, that I need to insert the CD of Win. As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ? I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.
It can have nothing to do with any of the foregoing. " I'm relaying only because it occurred during the same mission of update: had msg of error that Win Firewall has not been set as a default, which reset, but found this hidden file when searching for the Protection of the customer: "Win 32/Hackdef' - it was a config with the extension ini file and was deleted by Scan."
Thanks a lot for any assistance.

Hello
· You have Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer?
If you have windows installed on your computer security essentials, then you will not be able to install Windows defender. Windows Security Essentials has antispyware component installed.
You get the error because you have installed MS Security Essentials, which has its own function to antimalware. You don't need or want to install Windows Defender, too. Leave MS Security Essentials installed and do not turn it off.

I am running windows 8 and have Avast! for antivirus. I'm running FF ver26 and is up to date. This problem just started about 2 weeks ago.
Hi doughnuts49er, have you noticed any pattern as to the type or source of the download?
I noticed in your list of extensions that you have Advanced SystemCare. Since the recent update, users have reported a variety of issues. Could you try disabling this extension and partner, AccelerateTab?
Open the page modules using either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then find and disable:
- AccelerateTab 1.4.1
- Advanced SystemCare surf Protection 1.0
If everything is not essential, unrecognized or suspicious, don't hesitate to disable those as well.
If a link appears on one of the disabled extensions to restart Firefox, you can complete your work on the tab and click the links in the last step.
Who can help.

Original title: 32-bit
my information of the computer says it has a 64-bit, but when I try to download a program, it tells me that I have to uninstall the 32-bit and install a 64-bit. Why is this and how to do this. I don't have a disk for this computer since I bought it used. It's a core of windows 7 I5.
Thank you

You can run the as most 32-bit programs on Windows 64-bit, however you can not run a

After downloading v25.0.1, FF has been slow. I tried the reset, but it would give me the message that I have to restart to complete the installation of a previous version. I tried to uninstall, but the version on the list was v 21. I received the same message when you try to uninstall. I want to upgrade to v 25.0.1, but something prevents the process.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.
Make sure that your security software (antivirus) is not blocking files, preventing Firefox update all files in the Firefox program folder.
Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
- 25 Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.
- Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
- (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep problems also create a new profile.

I tried to insert a password to protect a document that I send. He told me to add a service that I paid for. I'm still not able to protect document and install a password. I went to tools-Protect but he always tells me that I have to pay for this service after I did. How can I add a password to open my document?
Hi cj47163119,
You need Acrobat application to secure your document with password. It seems that you use Acrobat Reader.
Acrobat Reader is a free service and do not have this option.
If you have Acrobat subscription, you can download it here: Download Adobe Acrobat products. Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X
For more help, see this KB doc: Security with passwords, Adobe Acrobat PDF files
Kind regards
