Firefox update download for my Mac in zip code 96822 just runs and runs without downloading anything. Has been happening for the past month. ???

Over the past month, when Firefox indicates it has an update for me, and to download it, all I get is "connecting" and nothing happens. We live in 96822. This is for a Mac.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Firefox on multiple computers and platforms has been slow over the past month or so.

    I first noticed that Firefox was slow on my personal computer.
    I thought that it was in relation to the "cookie clicker" window that had been open for months on end running 24/7 on my computer.
    But I then noticed it on my work computer. I think it happened around the v26 update.
    I am an "IT Guy".. or something.. a network administrator.. I work on dozens of computers a week..
    I just setup a "new" computer at work last Friday.. It is not a "fresh install".. it is a ghost image of a Dell Optiplex 780 for a few years ago. I updated Firefox by going to .. "help" -> "about firefox".. It is slow on that computer too.. 3.0 ghz c2d with 4gb ram..
    Either way.. I know I sound like a high maintenance, whining bitch.. but, firefox takes a few seconds to open a new window...
    I have switched a lot of things to chrome (becuase I know longer care about the old shit where they were tracking my data and browsing habits etc..).. becuase it is faster..
    I hit ctrl+N in firefox. shit was slow.. i go to chrome and do it.. 5-7x faster.. in my rough, not completely sober experience..
    What I used to do, is click the firefox icon in my "quicklaunch" bar..
    here is what I do in windows 7.. I unpin all icons from the start bar. i create a custom toolbar called "quicklaunch" and I put the icons in it.. just like windows xp, or maybe ME edition, or maybe windows 98 with Plus! or something like that..
    Not only do I create a quicklaunch on my own computer.. I put it on a hundred other people's computers a year.. Because they don't like change and want things to work how they used to work.... and because I think I am right...
    So... I click on the firefox icon in my quicklaunch.. and it takes a few seconds to open ( i can count to 6, but it is probably 2.7 seconds or something)... it doesn't sound like a big deal.. but i grit my fucking teeth when it happens..
    i click on the chrome icon in my quicklaunch.. and it does "something" immediately. to reassure me..
    so, i am only ranting because, A. i am under the influence of alcohol, and B. because (since I under the influence of alcohol, i have a slightly inflated sense of self worth or something, that makes me thing something will take the time to read this)..
    but.. reading it, vs, deciphering it and passing it along to someone who can do something about it..
    and shiiiiit.. those people probably already know what is going on and why.. for all I know.. google is fucking with you right and forcing to you make changes that slow your browser down because of some guy a firefox fucked someone's daughter at google...
    haven't given up on firefox.. but, my conspiracy is spinning in my head now.. and I am going to have to go to the last browser i used before firefox.. Opera. hahah.. fucking opera.. it does work.. and is decent, right? the other browsers stole the tabs idea from them, right??

    Unfortunately, those so called amazing improvements you reference haven't changed much when it comes to the browser freezing on startup when it's being opened. 278,228K memory using when not doing much. Have a couple of small plug-ins but probably not much compared to most FF users.

  • What is Bearshare that is showing in search box with Firefox 4 download? Have been told in the past that it is a bad site!? Not a techie can anyone advise in simple terms?

    Don't know whether to use it?

    You need to get the owner's manual for your Ford's bluetooth system to see how to put your system into discovery mode for the iPhone as well as the appropriate steps to take. 
    In addition, you should see if the iPhone is supported.

  • When someone sends me a picture as a message it never appears in the messages, but the icon shows there is a message there. I just can't access it. This has been happening since the update.

    So since I did the update on my phone, it rarely accepts picture messages. Usually the icon will show there is a message there (mine is up to 4 now), however it doesn't come through and I can't access it. I have tried a soft reset and simply restarting my phone, but it isn't working.

        @chritina9,
    Let's put an end to this mystery! Let find those picture messages.
    Just so I'm clear, you do not receive picture messages at all? You see the message notification but when you check there is no message?
    You mentioned this started after the software update. Try removing the SIM card and powering off the phone for a minute. Insert the SIM card and power the phone on. Test, by sending yourself a picture message and see if you receive it. Then have someone else send you a picture message and see if you receive it. Keep me posted.

  • Wifi "unable to connect" for the past month

    I have not been able to connect to my home wifi for the past month. It keeps popping up saying that it is unable to connect. sometimes it will work, but only for 2 minutes tops. My roommate uses the same internet connection and she said that she has not had a problem with it. I have tried rebooting it, turning it on airplane mode then resetting network settings and rebooting it, forgetting the network, and even resetting my entire phone. nothing will work. but my phone connects to the wifi at work and works perfectly fine. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

    The router in 99.99% of the time may be fine and see and connect to the devices it detects. However after certain updates to phones it has been said that the phone will not connect to the router.
    There was a list of known routers on this forum that just did not work. The so!ution was to either reset the broadband modem, wireless router and turn off the phone.
    Then if it connects your problem is solved. If it doesn't your next step is to see if there are firmware updates for the modem and the router. (Mainly routers) if it still does not connect a new router not on the non working list should be purchased. Yes its another expense but if you want the device to connect that is your option.
    Another trick you can use is to change the security from WEP to WPA, PSK or WPA 2 and change the password to the router.
    Some people stated a password of at least 9 figures / digits worked great.
    If you placed the phone on its own IP address that also has been known to work.
    However its best to talk to tech support at the router maker to assist.
    Good Luck

  • Can we run CK40N for the past month?

    Hi All,
    One of our users forgot to do the cost estimate for the month of May, that's why when he run CK40N (June 1), the prices went to future price, (i think because our MM is still May). I have some few questions and hoping for your positive feedback.
    1.) If we open the June period, will the future price became present price? or we need to run again CK40N?
    2.) Can we run CK40N for the past month of May? Reason is, we would like to capture the prices of Material last May.
    Please advise.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Tina,
    CK40N Meant for creatting cost estimates for the product and estimation is some wht which you create for future or current period. It is not possible to run ck40n for the past period.
    Now since you said that period june is not opened in MM. you can not release the price i.e.ck40n for june. check the details fo costing dates you have put in the dates parameters in ck40n. If you have run ck40n for june  then after marking the price system will set the price as a future price and same prices become the current price once you release the price. So if  you r executing ck40n  for june and june is not opened , you can not release the price. First u open the period june then execute the release functionality future price would automatically become the current price for  JUNE.

  • Sudden Slow Internet (for the past month or two)

    Hi all,
    I've had my iMac since December 2009 and it's always been well behaved.  However, in the past couple of months, the internet speed has been inconsistent to the point where it is now pretty much as slow as it could ever be.  Web pages take minutes to load, Dropbox is a no go and Skype just cuts out.
    As well as the iMac, I have a Macbook and an iPhone and the internet on these is still as fast as ever.
    I rang my internet service provider and they did a few rough tests before claiming it was the Mac that is at fault, especially if the laptop and phone speeds are okay.
    So I just wanted to ask, are there any causes for slow internet?  Is there anything I can do?  Shoudl I investigate further with my ISP?
    Ben

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
    If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
    If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
    Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
    Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
    Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference?
    If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

  • Need to delete the requirements in md61 screen for the past month

    Hi Gurus,
    I am having one requirment that my client need to auto delete the md61 screen entries , Suppose the requirement is maintained for 1000 the planned order will also generated for 1000 qty if stock is not available , then the production is done only for 500 quantities. On the next MRP run the system is considering again the past month 1000 quantities .
    How we can restrict this? If suppose the balace 500 quantities also the user dont want to produce . Then how can we delete automatically .
    Pl help me out this.

    Hello Vishnu,
    You can delete the old PIRs when the new month begins through batch job for MD74/MD75/MD76.
    Other way is to define a period of adjustment for the MRP Group in transaction OMPG and assign the MRP group to your material. Please refer F1 help there
    Adjusting in the past, that is the period of adjustment is calculated backwards - the system starts from today's date and calculates backwards by the number of days specified. Thus, planned independent requirements that lie before the date calculated by the system are not included in the planning run.
    Please refer
    MD61 considering Past requirements
    Best Regards,

  • Firefox on my Mac has been so slow the past few days, what's going on?

    The past week, every time I click on anything - an e-mail in gmail, something on a website I want to go to, the arrow to scroll on a page, the Mac colorwheel comes on and it takes forever. I finally got so frustrated I switched back to my old Safari. But this is a new problem, and I didn't do anything to the computer to cause it. My internet connection is fine (cable) as Safari works great. So what's going on? (I have version 3.5.9)

    You should also update Flash.
    See http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • AT&T service has really been poor for the past month (50+ houses impacted)

    I live in rural Colorado west of Fort Collins. About a month ago our AT&T service went from great to horrible.  Incoming and outgoing calls fail. incoming and outgoing texts fail, are delayed by hours/days or never arrive, sometimes you can't listen to voice messages, voice message show up and your phone never rang.  This negative change is impacting over 50 families in our small area.  Several of us have called AT&T and have not received the same responses.  Something significanty changed recently to cause such a terrible change in the wireless service (hardware or software).  People who work from home can no longer rely on AT&T wireless, emergency calling is compromised, just a mess.
    How can we get it on AT&Ts radar at a higher level?
    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.   Thank you.

  • Iphone 4 will not sync with cloud, just tells me it failed and try again for the past month

    Hi not sure if Im leaving this is in the right place but here is my issue:
    I have an iphone 4s and everything is working, including syncing it except that I have shot two videos that are 30 and 60 minutes that are not showing up on itunes. Therefore, I cannot save them and delete them off my phone. Curiously, when I view my phone on itunes it is showing on the content summary (color coded bar on the bottom of the screen) that the 'other' type content is 13 GB. I don't have other content and I am positive itunes is not recognizing them as video but 'other'. Any thoughts on this? My phone is full and don't want to delete these two interviews I shot. Thanks.
