Why does Firefox launch Updater when starting Firefox if I disabled all the updates?

How to disable permanently the update?
For now, I have to turn off whenever I run Firefox and UAC blocks this activity.

If the files have already been downloaded, then delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.

You can also remove active - update.xml, or even updates.xml (stores the history of update).

  • Why mozilla firefox options synchronization replaces all the new password old password?

    When I sign in account twitter, linkedin, facebook and yahoo all sites informs me that you used your old password? I have change my password all the old almost 5 months before and after 5 months I used Firefox sync my new bookmarks update option, new name of connection sites and new passwords as well, but after that the sync option used, my new password replaced with the old password

    Maybe the 5 month period when this laptop principal was not connected to the Sync had a role to play in your problem. Sync is designed to synchronize Firefox data permanently, not to be started when you want to "data backup", as with a Cloud Computing service. And the password / feature connections has been changed just about this time, I remember well, then maybe who had a role to play in this last issue.

    1. my advice is to unplug all devices sync. 2. then, using computer laptop main with your latest data, reset your synchronization password. Will erase your data from the server, so you can get a fresh load of data to synchronize, and then to other devices when you connect again with the new password. 3 reconnect the computer main sync using the new password. 4. the next day reconnect another device using the new password. Check that connections data is now suitable for this device. 5. If it looks good, plug other devices one by one at a time by using the new password. And if you are using a "mobile version" of Firefox [Firefox for Android or Firefox for iOS] I would wait a few days to make sure that your data on the desktop / computer portable devices is good before you plug one of these devices.

  • Why your Firefox plant solutions covers all the reasons?

  • Firefox 4.0.1 shows almost all of the text in bold. I start to record mode and sound fine, but when I disable all the addon then start in normal mode it broke again.

    So I updated last night, this morning I noticed that a lot of the text on Web sites are in bold.
    For example when doing web yahoo mail unread messages must be "BOLD", while read messages shouldn't be now, they are all "BOLD" anything.
    I started in safe mode, thinking that an addon was broken and at the normal search that seemed to confirm that.
    So I disabled all the addon and manually restarted in normal mode, the problem was back.

    I confirmed all was the addon still handicapped and restarted in safe mode once again, fixed... so I disabled both the plugin and extensions... still broken in normal mode.
    At one point I thought it might be the default aspect so I downloaded one that looks like 3.6 and this one broke... again.

    So that's what I'm wondering, what is not loaded in safe mode which is always loaded when you manually turn off all extensions and plugin?

    This could be a problem with the new features related to the police who are trying to use your graphics card. You can enable those here:

    Tools > Options > advanced > [disable] "use hardware acceleration when available.

    (It's one of the things that turn off safe mode.)

    I don't know if you'll see results immediately, or if you must restart Firefox.

  • My firefox restarts my PC all the time.

    Hello guys

    My firefox restarts my PC all the time.  It just hangs everything on the computer and restarts without stopping. What to do?
    

    I formatted my computer and I can't use firefox. It restarts my computer all the time, lock screens, freezes and shuts down the entire system.
    How can I remove it and stop the problems I can work normally.
    Can someone tell me what to do? Why is this happening?

    Concerning
    Suzana

    Windows restarts itself could indicate a device driver incompatibility, usually associated with your graphics card.

    Instead to start Firefox normally, hold the SHIFT key to get the Security Mode/Reset dialog box and start safe mode. Then switch your acceleration hardware definition here:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    Safe mode automatically disables hardware acceleration, but this modification should enter into force when you quit Firefox and then start it again normally.

    Any improvement?

    The toolbars are still on display in your browser?

    If you still have the address bar, right click on any part that is not a text box or the icon, or if you do not like that of any space right click on the three horizontal lines on the right side of the address bar window. This should show some options, click on 'Menu Bar' and the tabs you are missing should appear.

    As a side note, usually if these options are missing, your icon of firefox in the upper left corner of the window should look different (being a rectangular button itself as opposed to an icon), and the 'file', 'Edition', 'Bookmarks', etc., are found after clicking on this button.

    Hope that helps.

  • Why does Firefox launch at the start of my system? Where can I turn?

    I installed the new operating system Mac OS X Lion. Suddenly, Firefox starts the time starts - it is NOT in my connection objects in my account settings.

    I found on another site that when you choose stop there is a checkbox indicating to reopen the windows when you log back in. If the box is checked apps/windows you had open when stopping down, i.e. firefox will autolaunch when you restart your computer. I unchecked the box and firefox did not autolaunch again. I hope this helps.

  • Why does Firefox 5 keep runing whenever I start it control of compatibility for addons?

    I've just updated to Firefox 5 and now everytime I open the browser, it works an add on compatibility check, even if I have not installed all the new add ons. It also opens the "Welcome to Firefox 5' ('NEWS') each tab and never time.

    Try to remove compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder.

    Who should initiate the compatibility, but if all goes well he does return next time.

    If this does not work then try a new profile.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See basic troubleshooting: make a new profile:

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Firefox crashes constantly, made all the corrections, Manager tasks started and as long as TM runs, browser does not crash. Why?

    I have to constantly move to prevent the browser from hanging for most of the web sites and especially you tube, I have done all the suggested fixes and nothing works. That is to say. Firefox deleted, deleted all the files in the programs, local applications, etc. Download the latest, not made any customizations and I have a question. However, when you use the Task Manager to see if the CPU or memory was something I noticed until the task manager has been refreshing, the ongoing browser without hanging, it's like when an interruption of the system produces the browser continue as if I were to continue to move.

  • Why does Firefox Mac returns 'Server not found' for a website but Safari on Mac same load site without any problems?

    The financial company Web site www.gmo.com will not appear in Firefox 32.0.02. Server not found is the only result. Safari loads Web site without any problem and Firefox for Windows computer in the House support the site without problem. All the other sites I have access, including banks, Amazon, etc. loads normally.

    What/why the Mac of Firefox version would not be able to to connect/load this site?

    The company of people told me that no one else has reported this problem and other people in my company can access the site. And they cannot reproduce the problem.

    My ISP provider could not see anything from their point of view. And access all computers to the modem/router in the House everything without any problems.

    Anyone have any ideas on what would cause this or how to go about troubleshooting?

    Thank you for your time.

    Looks like it's something on the computer. There are cookies that must be removed individually from the Firefox profile.

    To do this, go to the Firefox Menu, tap Preferences, then tap privacy and then delete cookies or cookies see the. You can search the sites that gives you problems and remove them. Restart Firefox.

    It could also be that you add a DNS server for your connection. 8.8.8.8 is google, but I don't know if this would affect given that the server is not found, not that there is no link, that's why it does not sound like a connection problem, but a cache problem.

  • Why Firefox continues to block all the content I want to see, including tickets, I want to buy out my favorite despite changes sites does not block content?

    the program continues to block the content even with blocking function disabled. I constantly switch between browsers due to the annoying feature. I want it to stop blocking content, I want to disable the blocking, but laboriously must stop at all the sites I visit and spend time while it blocks content, demand if I want to keep the content blocking, annoyingly sinks and I must say to "remember" not to do and does it continuously , while continually annoyingly content blocks! I want him to stop doing that. I'm an adult, I'm 60 years old. I don't need a babysitter on my browser telling me what I should see and what I see, please fix this as soon as possible. Apparently disable the pop-up blocker does nothing to stop this annoying problem. Its design and its content filtering. It's illegal I think since my content I pay and I pay view all content on the world wide web. I want to stop my research of filtering and blocking content! ENOUGH!

    You have an extension, the FindWide toolbar, which many view as an unwanted intruder. You should be able to disable or remove the page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions.

    For completeness, here's my method to track down and clean up bad Add - ons and other ad injectors. I know it seems long, but it's not so bad.

    (1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.

    (2) open Firefox page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
    • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
      firefox.exe "about:addons"

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Any improvement?

    (3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

  • What can I do to prevent Firefox from hanging when I leave after having tried all the suggested fixes?

    Running Windows 7 with all updates. Starting with version 29.0.1 of Firefox, Firefox often hangs when I go out. When you restart Firefox, I get "Firefox is already running but is not responding... ». I then have to manually stop firefox.exe * 32 front I can restart the program. I applied all of the suggested fixes (disable all addons, extension and themes), and made sure I can delete the parent.lock file. Also noted the closing delay mentioned with Vista user. I have the error message occur several minutes after the release of Firefox, although I have often used the X button at the top of the right screen to exit Firefox always without any problems in the past. The function of this key has changed too?
    In any case, I use now exit the menu button drop down, but still have the problem of blocking.

    This is a bug in Firefox 29 where Firefox crashes out when the setting 'clear history of Firefox closing' is selected.

    If you use custom settings for history in your Firefox Privacy options and selecting 'Clear history of Firefox closing', remove the checkbox. See this article for more details:
