I tried to upgrade to Firefox 3.6.1 from 3.5 and now I get a msg that I need to reboot to complete a previous install of Firefox. I have rebooted several times. I even tried to remove the Firefox from the add/remove program and it tells me that I need to reboot to complete a previous install. Right now, I just want to get rid of firefox

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

    Have a look at the solution to a similar problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/921375?s=%22Your+computer+must+be+restarted+to+complete+a+previous+upgrade+of+Firefox.+Do+you+want+to+reboot+now%3F%22&r=0&e=sph&as=s
    If that doesn't work, you can uninstall FF and do a clean install. You'll prob lose your bookmarks, history, etc, though, so if you do this set up Sync first! https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync-and-how-do-i-use-it

  • I updated Firefox on my Mac (10.6.8), and now history is not remembered (that option is checked) and the back button won't work. Help?

    I updated Firefox on my Mac (10.6.8), and now history is not remembered (that option is checked) and the back button won't work. Help?

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • How do I fix it when I have tried to update from Firefox 3.6.23 to Firefox 7 but when I try to run the update I keep getting a msg that I need to restart my system to update a previous version

    I downloaded Firefox 7 and when I ran the program and got to the Setup Wizard and click Standard setup I get this message "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" I click on yes to reboot but am still not able to install the newest version.

    Be certain you understand before attempting anything.
    There's nothing wrong with asking clarification questions... but the links are to detailed information,,.. it would be redundant to copy/paste the entire contents here.
    You may want to print out the directions.
    First try booting into safe mode to see if the kernel panic still occurs.
    If it does you have hardware issues, or disk corruption... .  Disk corruption can often be solved by Disk Repair (sometimes it cant ... then it means replacing the SSD)
    If the problem goes away in a safe boot we are possibly looking at a corrupt (or weird) 3rd party extension.
    Take it in stages.

  • I tried upgrading my Ipad to IOS 4.3 and now i get a message that my ipad can not be activated. HELP!

    I recently tried to upgrade the software on my Ipad to IOS 4.3 (in order to get Google Earth and now I get this message:"  Your Ipad can not be activated because the activiation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your Ipad to ITunes [i did] to activate it or try again [i did sever times] in a couple of minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support"

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".

  • Trying to reinstall firefox but keep getting the same notice that system needs to reboot to complete uninstall of previous version. System reboots but no more happens

    I keep tryingto reinstall Firefox on Windows Vista but every time I receive a notification that my machine needs to reboot to remove remnants of previously uninstalled version. System reboots but Firefox does not install !!

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
    *Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I tried to adjust my font by going to the pixel choices and now it is so tiny that I cannot even get back to it

    i followed instructions on line and reset the pixels the wrong way and now the font is so tiny that I cannot even see it to adjust.
    I tried to just reinstall firefox, but that did not work

    You can edit the prefs.js file in the Firefox profile folder with a plain text editor like Notepad and remove the line with the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref or change the value to 1.0
    * user_pref("layout.css.devPixelsPerPx", "1.0");
    * C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
    The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    Alternatively you can create a file user.js and place the above posted user_pref() line in the user.js file and start Firefox once to reset the pref.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/user.js_file
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
    After having done this and have restarted and closed Firefox you can remove the user.js file because otherwise you can't make changes to this pref that will last.

  • Firefox start page disappeared from bookmark list and now I can't put it back. Whats going on?

    HP win 7 machine. Use firefox to open Charter email: no problem. Recently, my gmail acct (which I use infrequently) has appeared as my default , which I do not prefer, but cannot seem to change. While on the Charter email page, today, I tried to access Forefox start from my bookmark menu. It disappeared from the bookmark list. Got to the start page through a different route, but it would not bookmark at all.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).

  • I just upgraded FF to 32.0.1 from 32.0 and now it does not even connect to my homepage.

    My system is WIn/XP and my Homepage is Marketwatch.com. The tab shows "Connecting" but eventually times out (my other PC on the same page works fine). Does some else need to be done to get this to work? Restarting with addons disabled did not help. If there is no solution what is the easiest way to back it off?
    I am on this site with my other PC so no troubleshooting data is available.

    The easiest and fastest way for me to fix this was to uninstalled and reinstall FF. This happened on both of my systems (XP & WIn 7). This occurred on the last 2 and maybe 3 upgrades. I never had to shutdown or otherwise modify my Firewall or anti-virus for all of the other upgrades since I've been using FF (about 10 years) so if FF did something to create that situation it should be fixed.
    I was surprised that after downloading and installing the new version all of my add-ons were still installed and operational. I have the FEBE add-on installed just in case of situations like this.

  • When trying to connect to google+, I get a message that I need a new version of Firefox. I have the newest version (6). I can get gmail, but cannot connect to google+. Please help

    I cannot connect to my new google+ account using Firefox 6. When I try to access google+ I get a message that I need to update Firefox, which I have done twice. I can access gmail and everything else that google has to offer - I think. Please help.
    Thank you

    Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies
    Deselect any checked boxes on the left then click OK.
    If none of those boxes were selected, it might be a Safari extension causing the proxy dialog.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 Beta and everytime I tried to open up the browser, I get a message stating I need to reboot the computer in order to complete the upgrade; I've rebooted the computer at least 4 times.

    I downloaded Firefox 4 Beta and everytime I tried to open up the browser, I get a message stating I need to reboot the computer in order to complete the upgrade; I've rebooted the computer at least 4 times. I even tried to download a previous version of Firefox and I am still getting the same message that I need to reboot the computer in order to complete the previous upgrade.

    I have a very similar problem myself. Error 42408. And my phone isnt being recognized. I have restored my phone with no luck. I completely uninstalled itunes and reinstalled and it worked then when I ejected unplugged and plugged it back in it had the same problem over again.. I have no idea what to do?

  • I Beta tested 4.0 RC1 and now can not upgrade to 4.0. Error message is need to reboot to complete prior instalation. Have removed all previous versions of Firefox, rebooted and still same error message.

    I Beta tested up to and including 4.0 RC1 without major problems. However I can not now upgrade to 4.0. Same error message time and again, "need to reboot to complete prior upgrade instalation". I rebooted several times, then tried first removing all previous versions of Firefox using both MS Add/Remove and then iolo System Mechanic, then again downloading 4.0. Even after rebooting same error message. I can not therefore install/use Firefox.

    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.
