Whenever I try to update to firefox, it says: "connecting to the update server"... and then nothing happens.
No matter how long I leave the window upward, and by clicking on "Hide" does not work. I have to close the window and do not get an update.
This happens if the software update window because it detects my software is not up-to-date, or I check the updates.
Any help would be appreciated!
If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)
- Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
- Install the new version you downloaded

I get the following error message 'The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded' when I try to go to firefox home. I uninstalled modules, uninstalled Firefox and then install a new version. Still have the problem.
Thanks for the helpThis problem may be caused by a corrupt installation of Visual C++ or incomplete (several versions can be installed-by-side; SxS) it lacks certain runtime components (redistributable Packages), which depends on Firefox (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).
You need to install the missing components (for example, Redistrbutable end 2005 ++).

I downloaded the update to iOS over-the-air 9.3 and installed. Setup cannot connect to the server to activate the ipad2. The message is to try again in a few minutes or connect to iTunes to activate. Yes, I have the most recent and current iTunes version, so this isn't the issue. iTunes recognizes the iPad as my ipad2, but cannot do what he done to be able to use iTunes to activate it. I have 2 iPads. iPad 2 and iPad 4th generation. iPad 4th generation downloaded on-line and updated and active and install without problem. IPad2 updated and not can not connect to the server to activate and I connect to iTunes to activate as the message says, but iTunes cannot activate because it sees my ipad2 and that's all that. Of course, I'll try again once activate WiFi tomorrow but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I can also access this folder if I press the arrow in the address bar and select it from the list. Only when I click on it from my computer, I get the error message.

I search for virus and ran without effect registry cleaners.
It is a Windows XP SP3, HP probook 6550 b, the laptop computer is on a domain.
I hope you have a solution for this.
Thank you in advance.

Adobe Reader 11.0 will install Firefox - click on save and then nothing happens
Adobe Reader 11.0 settles not by firefox - I click on save file when requested, he goes to step 2 of 3, but nothing is there and I waited very long so that it loads. Does anyone else have this problem?
Hi Pat,
After your last email that I decided to continue to go wrong the problem and finally found the answer to another user. Oddly enough when using default Firefox in a directory on your computer to save downloads. If it encounters a problem is not identify it, the program just 'loop' at the beginning of the sequence to download. Once I changed the file uploads are sent to the original way of upgrade has occurred without fault.
I will return to the discussion group and happy to offer you the answer because I really appreciate your help.
Thanks, Jim

I just wrote all of the above details in the section title - I can connect to the internet with an ethernet cable, but not with my wireless connection (e.g. in McDonald's restaurants). I bought a new computer with Windows 7 and installed a dlink on this wireless router. It is then the connection Wireless on my old laptop family disappeared.
It is not entirely because think that the hardware is failing. ;-)
It seems as if you have uninstalled the Intel wireless controls in Add or remove programs and the wired connection disappeared, can you have uninstalled something else than just wireless stuff.
This laptop has the Wired Intel Pro/100 VE network adapter - easy enough to uninstall something inadvertently to another 'Intel '. ;-) (The link for this driver is included here).

This message appears on the desktop after windows starts upward
If you have correctly typed the name of this file, your computer has been infected. Either you have uninstalled the malware program or your antivirus/antispyware program did. In all cases, a reference has been left in the boot file. You can remove the reference by managing your startup.
Because you had a piece of malware, the chances are too high you had others. It would be a good idea to scan.
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_MalwareManage startup:
(for XP) Start > run > msconfig [Enter]
This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working". It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error, just a constant circle of shutdown and startup code. This has happened for days. I am running windows 7.
I think that norton or mcafee may have been preinstalled as trial versions, but I've never actually used them. Unfortunately I can't use the windows Explorer, so I can't check if they are still there.
We will cover all the possibilities.
1. download each of the tools for deletion below, save it to your desktop:
Norton Removal Tool: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe
McAfee removal tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe
2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).
3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all software (including LiveUpdate and Add-ons of Norton) Norton through Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view)
IMPORTANT! => Activate the Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.
IMPORTANT! => Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed the steps #4, #5 and #6 below!
4. right click on one of the files that you saved in #1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.
5. Repeat step #4 for another removal tool.
Tips:
-Online use another computer to download the removal tool, if necessary, then transfer it to the computer via CD, DVD, or a USB brand new, never been used (flash drive), or a summer freshly updated in shape.
-Online start the problem in Mode safe computer, if necessary, proceed as above.
-Online after completing all of the above, uninstall AVG Free & reboot. Now do a new installation of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.
