Why firefox updated itself when I chose to do, I have my car?

I have disabled the automatic update, but it updated itself anyway, which isn't good, makes me think about what else do the browser without my permission?

You use ever... check or "check updates, but let me choose...» » ?

It can take you by surprise. If you happen to be hit when the message about an update is available, this message dialog window may end by behind the main browser window. The message may expire without even being seen [about 15 seconds as I recall]; then the update will be installed without waiting for a response from the user - of "Remind Me later".

There is the Mozilla Maintenance Service for Windows operating system.

    nones

  • I can't watch videos from Netflix, YouTube. Firefox updated itself and I had problems of hue. Flash is updated to 16.0 but it turns off. I use a windows 8

    Flash 11.9 needed to be updated so I did and now have 16.0 but the 11.9 is still in my Add ons and continues to turn on say it needs an update and has been blocked. The 16.0 turns off even if I am constantly turning on and off the 11.9. I have no option to delete each plugin despite all the 'help' in the guides online. I get a blank screen on Netflix, its success and miss out on Youtube (depending on if 16.0 has not extinguished itself again) and I can't watch half videos posted on Facebook. It's extremely frustrating and yes I have uninstalled and reinstalled sliver with no change in the situation.

    If you use extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) which can block content (e.g., Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that these extensions are not blocking content.

  • Why Firefox page opens when I run the application it even when I have a selected homepage

    I recently selected latest version of Firefox and vere from the overview page opens as well as my home page. I want to just my home page to open when I launch the browser.

    OK, so it seems that there are two things that can happen here:

    • "See what's new" is now defined (as well as your regular home page) as your home page. You can re - choose your homepage simply only one page of the home button sliding. The details are in How to set the home page.
    • If you tried the solution above and it does not work, it may be that Firefox isn't able to save this preference for some reason any. In this case, reset Firefox will fix this. Instructions to reset are here - Refresh Firefox – reset settings and Add-ons. After resetting Firefox, you get to choose your homepage again.

  • Why Firefox insists on connect to public documents googledocs, IE does not care.

    I did a Googledoc, made public and sent the link to a few people. They told me that they cannot see the document because they are not connected to googledocs. When they tried through Internet Explorer, they got the document. An example is entered below

    No, I do not have an account of GoogleDocs, and I tested it on a naked Firefox profile that does not have the saved, especially for Gmail passwords I use.

  • My windows 8.1 does not work with the new Firefox update. It worked before the upgrade. How can I fix it?

    After Firefox updated itself automatically, Firefox would not work. I couldn't go online on Firefox because it doesn't open at all. The old Firefox worked.

    You may have seen this article during the process to submit your question, but just in case:

    Are you familiar with Windows Task Manager? It allows to determine whether Firefox is present in memory and to cease so that you can try to start again.

    To access the Task Manager, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc. You will need to approve the program to make changes to your system. The 'Applications' tab usually has an entry for every visible window. I guess that Firefox will not be there, but if it is and you do not see the window, it's a different problem.

    The "Process" tab will list firefox.exe if Firefox is running in memory, or if it has started and stalled. If it is just sitting there, click it, and then use it button end process to kill him.

    Then, try to start Firefox in Safe Mode. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    A small dialog box should appear. In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Does it work?

  • Why Firefox always tells me that Adobe plug-ins must be updated, when I've just updated beyond the versions them says Firefox update?

    On the status of the plug-in page, Firefox said I have potentially vulnerable Adobe Flash player c. 19.0.0.185 and should be updated. I have already taken this opinion but Adobe confirms that my version is 19.0.0.226. I ran the update at least twice (and of course I restarted Firefox several times and refreshed the page for good measure). Why Firefox think I always c. 19.0.0.185?

    Essentially the same story with Adobe Reader plug-in 15.9.20069.28170. Firefox said I have this outdated version and should be updated. I ran the update at least twice (but unlike with Flash Player I don't know how to confirm that the update is installed). The version that Firefox says I have and advice to update, has not changed.

    I've updated two plug-ins yesterday. Immediately after the update, when I refreshed the page status of the plugin, these plug-ins have disappeared from lists "vulnerable" or "outdated". It's only the Adobe Flash Player and Reader plug-in updates (which I did yesterday) that Firefox seems to blind. I waited a day to see if Firefox would recognize the edits today, but it still does not work. On this page of presentation of the question, "Assumptions" of Firefox on my current browser list older versions of Adobe Flash Player and Reader that I've already updated since.

    Plugins are installed on the system and not in Firefox. So he can tell you were the same when you installed know that it is usually because you have two system installed an older version of Flash Player.

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Flash-Player/KB/uninstall-Flash-Player-Windows.html

    Maybe try to uninstall all versions of Flash Player (basic plugin) and install the current https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (basic plugin), while Firefox is closed.
