I have Firefox as my default browser. My anti virus says the web browser is out of date and I can't update Firefox as there are no update available. What is the solution?
I recently had a Dell Tech Specialist work on my computer. I apparently was having trouble with my current browser at the time, which was IE-7. The tech uninstalled it and downloaded Firefox. Computer works great but I cannot update the web browser as there are no updates available on Firefox. I have Norton as the antivirus program. Any suggestions on how to remedy this? I have windows XP
You are using Firefox 3.6.3 which is an old version, the current version is 3.6.13.
To update it either use the "Check for updates" option in the Help menu, or download and install the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com/

I downloaded and installed Airport Express Utility 5.6 to get my old Airport Express to work with the latest Mac OSX 10.7.4, but when I install and run it, it still says my Airport Express is out-of-date and needs the 5.6 utility. What's up?
It is likely that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1. If you checked the requirements, this only runs on Leopard or Snow Leopard Macs.
You have Lion, so you need AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion -

this is a new problem. Running Windows 7, latest update of Firefox 3.6.13. Under "Applications", I'm set to "open Adobe Acrobat inside Firefox" (which is what I have always done, then if I wanted to, I saved the PDF file elsewhere). should I/ can I open the PDFs outside Firefox, with my Adobe 9 Pro program?
■ Use '''Tools -> Options -> Applications ->''' <br> then look under content for Adobe Acrobat forms etc;
<br> note a choice of options is usually available
* see [[Options window - Applications panel]]
Firefox is of course a web browser. <br>Acrobat reader is Adobe's program used to read and display the pfd files on your computer. Other programs may be used instead of Acrobat reader. You would normally have the Acrobat program and the pdf file present on the local computer, often both on the same hard drive, if you were opening individual pdf files directly with Acrobat.
Firefox uses a plugin so that it may use Acrobat to open pdf files and display the results within a firefox window or tab. If you do not have that plugin installed, or it is not enabled firefox may be unsure what to do with the file and offer to save it to whatever your default local download location is, without attempting to open the file in firefox.

Why has my iTunes suddenly been blocked, every time that I try to sign in it asks me to use another ID?
Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466, and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

is this legit?
hello, please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

This is bugging me quite a bit, I bought an album today and it lists the song as being 4 mins 17 seconds. However, as I mentioned, on both platforms it stops at around 35 seconds and flicks onto the next song in the case of iTunes or just stops playing audio for my iPod Touch 4th gen. It is a full song on Youtube and everywhere else I seem to look, so is this likely to be a software issue with iTunes/iOS or the song itself perhaps?
Many thanks to any who can help!That suggests the track is damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item. -
I have just downloaded and installed Firefox on my Kindle Fire. Is it automatically the web browser on my kindle or is it necessary to modify the kindle op syst so that firefox is the default browser.
After you install Firefox, clicking on a link in another program should cause the Kindle to prompt you to choose a web browser and offer to set a default.
If this doesn't happen, you might first need to open the "Applications" section of the Kindle settings app, tap on your old default browser, and then press the "Clear Defaults" button. -
I want a solution to the problem I was having on Win 7 Pro Service Pack 1 in that links on an open Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.12 file will not open in my Firefox Browser 33.0.2. The Error I receive is "Acrobat could not run the web browser. Unknown Error. (123)"
Change browsers. See what happens.

Firefox does not allow me to 'paste' url's/rapidshare links anywhere on the web browser.
I noticed this problem when I purchased a Rapidshare account. In Google i found the URL of a movie>highlight the link>copy>but the 'paste' option is blanked out (not available) when i come to paste the link in the web browser. I have tried ctrl-v and also the edit>paste but the 'paste' icon i always 'greyed' or blanked out. This problem does not occur on any other computer in the house, just on my laptop. It only occurs with rapidshare links (and similar URL's). I can not paste in the web browser nor can I paste on the rapidshare website because the paste option is not 'click-able'. I don't know what do to, please help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I just signed up to rapidshare and have the 'paste' option has never worked.Make sure that you do not block cookies.<br />

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.

My ipad mini doesn't have a web browser! Help. I can't access the internet or iTunes or the app store. The web browser icon isn't even there.Anyone know what to do?
I'd maybe try doing a search for Safari on your iPad first (swipe to the left to search). If it shows up in that search you can go to Settings > General > Reset and choose 'reset home screen layout' which will put it back where it would be by default.
All else fails? Restore it. -

I had FF 4.0 Beta 12. While deleting some Wild Tangent games, everything went black and I haven't been able to get to Firefox since, (about 7-8 weeks. I click on the desktop icon for FF and I do get the FF screen with the FF icon on top left and the minimize, maximize and exit icons on the top right. However, the screen is just white and I can't open anything up. This is driving me crazy because the only way I can get to the internet is through IE and I hate it. I do get a crash report from FF and I fill it out and send it in with my email but I hear nothing from FF because I don;t think you get the report. I want my FF back and I'm going very frustrated trying everything and nothing works. Please, please help me if you can. Thanks, Cathy
