I keep running the firefox update but the next time I click on my firefox icon it opens an older version and asks me to update. What is going on?

I downloaded and ran the update to Firefox. It said it was successful and then the welcome page etc. came up. However, after I had closed down and started up again the "old" version came up when I clicked on the Firefox icon with the usual comment that I have an old version and should update. I have tried this three times with the same result. I have a Compaq Presario 2200 laptop.
What am I doing wrong?

If you use the www.google.com/firefox site as home page that previous Firefox 3 versions use as the home page then you can ignore the message about not using the latest Firefox version on that page. 
Google no longer seems to maintain that page. 
The text about not running the latest Firefox version is in the code of the www.google.com/firefox site that previous Firefox 3 versions use as the home page and it looks that Google no longer maintains that page. 
Current Firefox 4+ versions no longer use that Google website as the home page, but use the build-in about:home page as the home page. 
Google assumes that you use an older Firefox version if you still visit that site and warns you that you use an older Firefox version and suggests to update. 
You can use another page as the home page like about:home or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle).

Why does the circle at the curser point keep running the entire time my computer is on?

I am new to the touch-screen computer. I notice that the circle keeps running the entire time my computer is turned on as if there is more info about to come up. Is this suppose to happen? I have no idea if this is normal for this particular model. Thank you.

Immediately the size window opens.
Which window? Please post a screenshot.
Is the tablet’s driver up-to-date?
Because now I have changed back to Painting and the pen behaves normally without the circle and size window.
So the issue is resolved?

Firefox disc image stays on my desktop. I can eject it, but it returns the next time I click on firefox in my doc.

I just downloaded Firefox 4. The download folder appeared, plus the drive image. I've closed the download folder, and deleated the disc image after closing Firefox. However the next time I click on Firefox in my dock...the download folder and disc image apper on my desktop again! This is very annoying!!!!

See if you can boot into the Safe Mode.

I am using ALSA and Icecat. When I play any html5 audio/video it works, but the next time i click on another audio/video link I lose sound.

I am using Parabola (a fork of archlinux), Icecat 31.4 and ALSA
Icecat and firefox seem to hold onto the soundcard when I click on a new html5 audio/video link in the same tab. The next video/audio element loses sound. If I wait 10 seconds and click back to the start of the audio/video, the audio returns. I often get cpu spikes for icecat when it happens.
I have tried this with both motherboard and usb sound and I get the same problem. I have disabled extensions (addons) in Icecat, deleted profiles, reinstalled the browser and even installed firefox from the AUR and it still occurs.
I have disable gstreamer in about:config and restarted and it still occurs.
My .asoundrc is this:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
All my other audio applications work. I have noticed that if I use pulseaudio it fixes it, but it should work without anyway, like it used to. I think something happened after an update, but I'm not sure.
Any help would be appreciated. I know it's not a big problem, but it's really frustrating and I've had it for ages. I even switched browsers to get away from it.

*nerding out*
I am not an expert in this and if we get stuck I have found a mailing list for the alsa project that can be contacted: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Mailing-lists
Gstreamer is disabled in Firefox as well as the os?
Since you are seeing issues with ogg files and moving video/audio combination I started to dig into file formats {sox http://sox.sourceforge.net/soxformat.html}
For ogg would the file format affect the "raw"?
defaults.pcm.file_format "raw"
Updated libraries
alsa-lib-1.0.6-8.FC3

No no, here:

When I close Firefox by clicking on X in the upper right corner of Vista, Firebox doesn't close and the next time I click on FireFox I get a message that FF is still running but not responding. I use alt,ctlr,delete to use Task Manager to close FF. Why?

The details are in the question. Don't know what else to add.

For the l;ast several day firefox 6.02 won't open. It just hangs. I uninstaled it and reinstalled and it still won't open. Internet explore and chrome work fine. What is going on?

Also There is no way I can check the settings or get to safe mode as it just hangs. Several other people have been having the same problem with it.

V3.6.17 keeps downloading forever. A message says that it will be installed the next time firefox restarts and I keep restarting but it keeps downloading, and never installing. What could be the problem?

I am currently using firefox v3.6.16, and running windows 7 ultimate. Under the help menu I keep seeing "downloading firefox 3.1.6.17" and when I click on that option a window comes up showing v3.6.17 downloading. After it is complete a message states that it will be installed the next time firefox starts. I then restart firefox but the same events happen again!. It is annoying to say the least. What is the situation?

If I have lost my music collection I will be switching platforms ASAP. It is insane that Apple has updates seemingly every day for their products.

I was in your same situation with 14 downloads and 14 attempts.
You have to make sure that your Mac is booting into 64 bit mode. You can make sure of this by going into System Preferences and scrolling down to 'Software' and making sure that you are booding with 64 bit Kexts.
If not, restart while holding the 6 and 4 keys down until you see the spinning gear wheel and try installng again.
BUT, what I also did was to go into Applications, click on the Lion installer, Get Info, and give yourself custom priviliges to Read And Write.
I did this simultaneously, and I don't know what function did it, but it worked for me, with no further downloads of the installer.
Good luck!

Firefox keeps saving my tabs from several months ago - the same tabs! Even though I close them, the next time I restart, there they are. I was using a previous version of FF, now upgraded to 6 and same thing is happening.

Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
