Why get a window telling me to update when it IS updated?

From time to time a tab opens telling me to update to FF. I checked by going into help / about and it is up to date? Why did I get this? He's looking for officials and the web address of the page that appears is...http://www.update-browser.org/Firefox/...So who "LOOKS" right. I downloaded the updater file & AVG had it & anti malware'd it, everything is ok. I have a screen shot to post when I can.

rollie410 for beginners that Firefox is not only for Windows as well as Mac OS x and Linux, updates of Firefox are not always made by means of a small .exe as claimed by this site.

New versions got an update in Firefox or installing of www.mozilla.org

  • I've updated to 40 for Mac and still continue to get the window telling me to update to 40.

    The window opens whenever I open Firefox and at random intervals. It is annoying to have to keep close. I've updated either through pop, the window and "about Firefox" more than 4 times and the pop up still continues to be. "About Firefox" it's of 40.0.

    39.0 Firefox is still the current version on www.mozilla.org/firefox/all since July 2.

    40.0 Firefox is always on the Beta channel with 40.0b6 being the recent version. There may be six to twelve that Beta builds for a version on beta channel.

  • When I open Safari, I get the window telling me to call Microsoft

    Safari opens with the window telling me to call microsoft my computer has been broken and security is threatened. I force quit only to reopen at the same.

    I did call the number. HELP PLEASE!

    Force to leave Safari as you did, but this time hold down the SHIFT key when you click on the Safari icon in the dock. Then, Safari should open as usual.

    I hope that solves your problem.

  • If the latest version of Firefox is 17, why get invited to day 14.0.1 when I am running version 12?

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit OS, and I currently version 12 of Firefox are installed (updated in May). I am building a browser vs. OS compatibility matrix, so I did a little 'Googling' today to see what Firefox versions are currently supported. When I opened Firefox to see if I was running the latest version, I got a prompt to upgrade to 14.0.1, yet the latest version is 17. This causes me some confusion. In addition, some sites offer Firefox 64-bit is not supported in WIndows and others say that it is in the Act supported. Could someone please confirm or deny this?

    How many times have you run Firefox in the last 4 months? Remember that any postponement of this update? If this update has been previously downloaded, but never installed, maybe the installer wants to finish this work before check you for a newer version.

    Mozilla does not have a 64-bit version of Firefox for Windows release. The 32-bit version works well on the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows versions.

    There is a version of 64-bit third-party named Waterfox you could look in, but I suspect that any gain in the ability to use memory would be offset by reduced with modules compatibility...

  • I have a compac using XP. I get "your windows installer is installed correctly" when I try to unimstall a program. That's happened? How can I get the installer working properly?

    I can't get the uninstall program to work properly in 'install/remove '.  I am told "windows install is installed incorrectly or it is in safe mode.  Another problem is that I can not transfer files on a CD.  I don't know if these issues are related.  I don't know enough to find the offending element.  Someone at - it response - I can fix it myself, or something I can download from Microsoft?
    Thank you.

    That is what the message really says or does mean something like these examples:

    When you try to install a program or by clicking on the button 'Edit' or 'Delete' in Add / Remove programs on an application already installed, you see a message like this:

    Windows Installer may be damaged or your computer is in safe mode

    or maybe this message:

    The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.
    This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode or if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Contact your support team.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    services.msc

    Click OK to open the Services applet.

    Look in the Services applet to see if the Windows Installer Service is still listed and you will find that it is probably not listed (but it should be).

    If the Windows Installer Service is listed, make sure it is not disabled and if it is disabled, change the startup type to manual.  You can't set it to automatic as it will start on its own when he needs start and you don't need it starts every time that you restart your system and execution of all the day when there is nothing to do.  The Service will start when they need start if she is able to start.  Enough-click OK to save your changes and close the Services applet, reboot your system to make sure the changes 'stick' and see how things look now.

    If the Windows Installer Service is lack of Services, you must add it as follows:

    Click Start, run, and in the box enter these commands one at a time by clicking on the OK button for each:

    msiexec /Unregister (or you can type: msiexec /unreg)
    msiexec/regserver

    Click OK after each command (there is no message about what happened)

    Check in the Services applet again to see if the Windows Installer Service is now listed, and the startup type is set to manual, reboot your system to make sure the changes 'stick' and see how things look now.

  • Why do I get restore window when opening firefox since the update

    Why do I get restore window when opening firefox since the update. I don't want to restore but it appears every time instead of my homepage as shown

    A likely cause is that you first close all Firefox Windows and then close the Firefox application.

    Some noted that closing of Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is always open works for them.

    • Bug 845681 - close all windows and abandonment of Firefox eventually led to about: sessionrestore to appear the next time you start

  • Why you're not able to get the new June 20th, 2016 updates on your creative cloud, if you are running Windows 7.

    Why you're not able to get the new June 20th, 2016 updates on your creative cloud, if you are running Windows 7.

    So I spent all day on this because Adobe did not anywhere that I could find it. But I'm hoping some of you to save a lot of time wasted... you can't upgrade to the latest version of the application if you have not all updates to Windows 7.


    If you're like me and do not want anything to do with the Windows updates... you may encounter the same problem. Summer/don't I am not at all interested in Windows 10 (who they are sneaking into regular updates) so I don't usually have enabled updates. If you don't... you cannot upgrade your program to the latest version. Creative cloud not even give the option.


    I think it's the Microsoft Visual C++ or something like that who needs update to run the latest version of the software... If you do not have it on your system, you do not install the new updates properly, but be careful not to download sneaky windows 10 "update." Know how it's called blindly here before update you.

    I hope that helps some of you save a whole day unnecessarily.

    Why sites keep telling me to update my browser when it is already updated? I already updated my browser and even tried to reinstall. Example - what happens when I try to access my e-mail and other trusted sites.

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • Could not start the automatic updates. Get an error that Windows cannot check the updates, D0000034 after the failure of the Java updates

    OP: Action Center... PC problem: 1 important message

    After the failure of the attempt to install the JAVA update, I received this message from Action Center... Windows cannot check the updates. So I was taken to the dialog box and retried to check the updates of windows fails again with the code D0000034. Also did a system restore to the place before the installation of JAVA update attempt, but was no help. Can you help me?

    Hello Irfan,

    Thanks again for your response. Since your last I discovered through my system status (Control Panel), I wrote that my product ID and the Windows 7 activation status not available. So I followed instuctions to help and microsoft support to activate.  Yet once, I got the error code D0000034 as before with the problem of update. However, I was given the opportunity to phone, but received no phone #. I bought the DVD of Windows 7 and installed on the PC that was custom built for me.  On the site Web microsoft help and support, I was asked for the product ID, which according to them is a # 20 numbers.  Not the only one, I have is the product key which is one 25-alpha-numeric.  I tried to enter only and does not pass.  This is why I say that I can pay for help since I did not ' have the product ID.  Maybe it isn't your area of expertise, Irfan, but I was hoping... I re - install windows on last April when I got in trouble and probably did not re - activate? What do you think?  If you can get back on track, I would be very grateful and thank you once again to be a big help!

    wandrinstar

    Please ignore above request. I have since re-activated Windows and the problem was solved with technical assistance telephone and thank you again for your help, Irfan. Also thanks to all the people answering the phone at microsoft. The experience I had was really a pleasure. I wasn't expecting such an attitude courteous and professional.

    Keep up the good work,

  • Why get rid of Windows XP

    When Windows XP is supposed to be eliminated?  I have it and love it.  Why get rid of it?

    Microsoft will stop supporting Windows XP on April 1, 2014.  This means no security updates more (for example, you can continue to use XP, but if your computer connects to the Internet, you will be more and more at risk).

    Windows XP was introduced in 2001, which means that next April, it will be almost 13 years. It is old enough for the software.

    Microsoft introduced new products and stops in support of the former products, for the same reason any business done: he wants to make money.
