My Firefox 3.6.20 does not display Firefox 6.0 when "Check For Updates", instead it shows that No Updates Available. Why is that?

I just today updated to Firefox 3.6.20 from Firefox 3.6.18. I tried checking for new updates again using the Check for Updates option under Help and it said that "There are no updates available. Firefox will check periodically for updates." I am looking for Firefox 6 update, but it does not find it. This happened before when I tried to search for Firefox 5 when I had Firefox 3.6.18 and before Firefox 6 came out. Why does it not detect the latest version of Firefox when there is clearly a newer version out there?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • My IPhone 4's mailing feature does not display the toolbar at the bottom for deleting, moving, or writing emails. What is wrong with it?

    My work recently decided to buy every full time employee an IPhone 4 to be used for work purposes. (I do suspect these are refurbished, but I don't think that matters) I have had no trouble with it, except for on occasion the mailing feature does not display the toolbar at the bottom for deleting, moving, or writing emails. You know what I'm talking about...that bar at the bottom of the mailbox when you open an email that you use to delete, respond, forward, move, etc. It just goes away for no reason, and then reappears for a day or two, and goes away again. It is quite annoying since I can't respond to any of my emails without getting on my work computer. If you have any suggestions, please help!

    Hi there,
    You may need to force close the Mail application when this happens. The next time this happens, use the steps in the article below to coles out of the mail application.

  • When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

    When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes on my MacBook, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

    No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
    How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
    It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database.  Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer.  If you have one that matches that it will label it.  You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.
    This script will only work on Macs:

  • Firefox 5.0.1 does not display Language Selection Popup from Google Translate

    The Translate button at http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp does not work with Firefox 5.0.1. It does work with Chrome 12 and Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox 3.6.19. Many other Google Translate based Addons to Firefox do not work on Firefox 5.0.1 such as https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/translator/. We have added Google Translate to our site http://www.sudokue.com with the same problem exhibited by Firefox 5.0.1 but not by other browsers.

    Try a reload with the F5 key. That seems to work and makes the language button appear.

  • Character counter does not display data on IE when counter is 0

    Hi,
    I am implementing a character counter in ADF using Javascript (referencing this http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/10-char-input-counter-169133.pdf).
    I display the string --> 'x' characters left
    The problem that I am facing is: when my character counter becomes 0 (can no longer enter any text, the maxlimit of the input field is reached) then on IE browsers, it does not show the character '0'. It displays a blank. On Firefox and Chrome, however, the UI gets displayed as expected i.e. 0 characters left.
    Can I get any pointers how to fix this on IE. Have tested with IE versions 7,8,9. JDev version is 11.1.1.5.0
    Here is the code snippet that I am using:
    Javascript:
    function showCharacterCount(event) {
    var keyCodePressed = event.getKeyCode();
    if (keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.TAB_KEY
    || keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWLEFT_KEY
    || keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWUP_KEY
    || keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWRIGHT_KEY
    || keyCodePressed == AdfKeyStroke.ARROWDOWN_KEY) {
    event.cancel();
    else {
    textfield = event.getCurrentTarget();
    textfieldValue = event.getSource().getSubmittedValue();
    textfieldLength = textfieldValue.length;
    textfieldMaxLength = textfield.getMaximumLength();
    o = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent('characterCounter');
    characterCounterValue = o.getValue();
    characterCounterValue = textfieldMaxLength - textfieldLength;
    o.setValue(characterCounterValue);
    UI:
    <af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl3" layout="horizontal">
    <af:outputText id="characterCounter" clientComponent="true" value="325"
    inlineStyle="text-align:right; display:block; width:100.0px;"
    binding="#{viewScope.myBean.characterCounterBndg}"/>
    <af:outputText value="characters left" id="ot7"
    inlineStyle="padding-left:5.0px;"/>
    </af:panelGroupLayout>
    <af:inputText id="it2" rows="4" columns="53"
    value="#{viewScope.myBean.text}" maximumLength="325" clientComponent="true"
    simple="true">
    <af:clientListener method="showCharacterCount"
    type="keyUp"/>
    </af:inputText>
    Thanks in advance.

    Try converting from dynamic data, that seems to take care of the problem. Also, you could use the regular field point VIs instead of the FP express VI. Check out the attached VI.

  • Firefox 21.0 android will not display websites but will when highlighted then searched

    on my tablet android 4.0.4 when I load a website, the address bar shows the site has finished loading but the site is empty.
    if I then touch and highlight the address then push search, the page displays immediately.
    any clues guys?

    IF your not using .com at the end, it search via google.
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
    #Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
    #Tap '''Settings'''.
    #After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
    #You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    #*Cookies & active logins
    #*Cache
    #After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

  • I accidently hit save password on my gmail homepage and now i cannot remove my login info. i looked under firefox settings and it does not allow me to make an exception for gmail. please help!

    i hit the save password mozilla function for my gmail login page by accident. when i go under preferences, i cannot add an exception for gmail. now my login info and password are permanently displayed and i cannot undo it. the closest thing is to uncheck 'remember passwords for this site' but i do not want that because there are a lot of other sites that i want that function. when i hit 'exceptions' it has 'accounts.google.com' listed but it seems to not work for gmail and i cannot manually add an exception.

    Different dialog. Try here:
    Firefox > Preferences > Security > Saved Passwords
    Can you find it there and delete it?

  • Where can I download an earlier version of firefox. Version 4 does not shut down properly so when I start it again it says firefox is already running. I'm very close to going back to Internet Explorere

    You may still have a Croatian language pack installed if you didn't uninstall a previously installed Croatian version and checked the Firefox program folder for remnant leftover files.
    * "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome"
    If you download the full en-US version and install that version then the language shouldn't change.

  • Of late the Alt F function does not operate to find personal names within a document while safari has no such restriction. Why is that? John Azzi

    Firefox has been my default browser for years but lately I have been unable to use the alt F "find" function" to search for case names in case reports posted at www.austlii.edu.au.
    Specifically, I was searching (using alt F function) for a particular case name (Hooker v Gilling) in a recent Federal Court judgment (International All Sports [2011] FCA 824) and was notified that it did not appear despite the judge (Jessup J) clearly referring to Hooker in his judgment. The same thing occurred in other cases. This has never occurred previously and therefore I wonder if it is a limiting function purposefully inserted to make life less convenient!

    Seems to be working here if I look for Hooker

  • Video does not display when sending from Final Cut Pro to Motion

    Suddenly, when sending an audio & video sequence to Motion, a new Motion file is created, and all my layers come in properly, but the video does not display.
    The audio plays fine, and Motion clearly know that there are video tracks there, but it does not display them.
    Additionally, when rendering the Motion file back in FCP, it turns in to black video.
    I have previous sequences within the same project that were sent just fine, and are editable properly, but any new ones I try to create just come out black.
    Help, please?

    Do you have Motion mistakenly set to render out with an Alpha channel?
    Double click your Motion clip in the Timeline. Go to Modify > Composite Mode in the menu bar and set the Alpha to "None/Ignore".

  • FireFox 4.0.1 does not support HP Simplepass Identity finger print scanner?

    The previous version of Firefox would work with my HP Simple pass (finger print scanner built into the laptop) to be used as a password for all web sites that require a password. Firefox 4.0.1 does not know what to do when I scan my finger print on a login page. Can I remove Version 4 and go back to the old version that worked?

    Please do not mind my first error, the one about the Finger print Scanner. \
    But please help me with the USB problem.

  • I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

    I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

    And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
    Is this iPhoto on your Mac?  Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11?  If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
    Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.
