I have through save, open, drag the icon to my apps file... and when I drag my apps file, it takes a few seconds to do * something *, pings to me and then nothing after that.

• Given that I put to update to the latest version of firefox, whenever I click on a link or in a box a google play window opens

  Since I have updated to the latest version of Firefox a few days every time I click on a link, or in a dialog (like this one) or try to pin something to Pinterest, a reading of google window opens.

• Why am I not able to update the latest version of Firefox when it tells me that it is ready to download. It seems "stuck" on the connection to the update server and goes no further. This happens everytime I try for several months now.

  I think that the version he is trying to download is 10.something, and it seems to freeze on the window of 'progress' for quite awhile before I get it close. I've sometimes minimized the window while I did other things, coming to him perhaps 30 minutes later and the window is exactly the same as when I left it.

• Why my CC is not the latest version?

  Hi all

  I thought that by purchasing, installation and pay for creative cloud my two programs (Photoshop & Lightroom) would always keep up to date with the latest versions.

  I watched a video today where I realized there is now a brush mask filters degraded (etc.) in Lightroom and when I went to play with mine with enthusiasm, he is not there and that is clearly not the latest version.

  What I have to do something to update it myself? Did I lose all the photos in my library that I have yet to edit and save if I download an update?

  Thank you!!!
