Running 3.6.17, try to install 4.01, Mac says replace 3.6.17 with older version of firefox 4.01. Whats up... Mac PPC 10.5.8 THX
Using Firefox 3.6.17 on PPC 10.5.8. Try and install 4.01 Firefox and it tells me it is a older version and to replace 3.6.17 with it. Just different is all so please let me know what will happen if I install 4.01 over 3.6.17.
It is most likely caused by the timestamps of the files. Firefox 3.6.17 was probably build at a later time than Firefox 4.0.1 and that makes the OS think that 3.6.17 is a more recent version. You can ignore that warning.

When I try to install (upgrade) to Quicktime 7, I get 'unable to uninstall older version, contact your technical support group'.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time? -
ever since I updated to Firefox 3.6.8 I can no longer open/delete/etc e-mail on MS Hotmail's revamped version which I could with Firefox's older version. I cannot even highlite messages, no nothing
I use Windows Vista
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed new version 3.6.8 of FirefoxSimilar problem here although it's since Hotmail changed (I guess it's rolled out in stages) for me not since I installed FF 3.6.8. The same problem occurs in IE8. Seems a Hotmail problem rather than a FF one but I';d really appreciate any help I can get.

after installing the update (3.6.9), all of my plugins are not working anymore...not a single one!
One of the files that stores details on installed add-ons may be corrupt. Try removing the files to see if that helps. Firefox will re-create the files and in the process re-build the list of installed extensions and themes. For details of how to do that see the section on corrupt extension files in the [[Unable to install add-ons#Corrupt extension files|unable to install add-ons]] article.

Disabling the computer's security software (firewall and antivirus) usually resolves that error.

My mac has OSX version 10.8.2 and I'm try to install an aiport express base station which requires 10.5.7 or later. Yet when I try to install the software it says the base station is not compatible with my mac version - how do I resolve?
You already have the software installed that you need if you have 10.8.2.
If AirPort Utility cannot find the Express, that is another matter. More software is not needed. More troublehooting is needed.
Power up the Express for a full minute
Hold in the reset button on the Express for 7-8 seconds and release
Allow a full minute for the Express to restart
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
Look for a heading of New AirPort Base Station
Just below that, click on AirPort Express

When I try to install Lion it tell's me "You can't use this version of the application install mac os x Lion with this version of Mac os X" even though I have the latest update 10.5.8 of Mac os X?
The install icon has this sign on itmoose0422 wrote:
You can't install Lion over Leopard. To install Lion, a requirement is Snow Leopard. So you can either upgrade to Snow Leopard first or you can make a bootable Lion install disc and use that to wipe your hard drive and install a fresh copy of Lion.
So to make a disk would require you to purchase Snow Leopard and upgrade to 10.6.8 so you can use the App Store, unless you have access to another computer to download it from with your Apple ID. Remember it is about a 3.4GB download.
Good Luck -
How do I find installer? When I try to install downloads, the box says that I do not have the Installer I need.
If it's updates through the Office auto-updater that are having problems, that's probably an issue you'll need to take up on Microsoft's support site. If you're having problems installing Office from scratch and it's saying it can't find Installer, you may need to repair your hard drive. More help will probably be obtained if you post in the Mac OS X 10.6 forum; this forum, where you originally posted, is for help with the Communities themselves.

i have a 2006 imac i just brought back from the dead when i try to install snow leopard it says i can't on this computer why not
There is your problem. DVDs that ship with a Mac are machine specific. You will need to purchase a retail copy of the DVD $29.

An automatic update arrived and installed itself but then told me it was incompatible with my version of Mac: 10.5.8. Firefox version 3.6.26 is on it now. It seems to work the same. Is there going to be a problem or should I ignore that message?
If I must replace it where do I get an older version?
ThanksFirefox '''4 '''versions '''and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' and require at least OS X 10.5 and an '''Intel Mac'''.
The latest''' supported''' version for your os is '''3.6.26''' , your are fully updated.

I have an older version of Firefox and adobe on a Sony VAIO. I keep getting pop-ups telling me to upgrade, and also frequent failures when I try to use the browser. I try to upgrade. I go thru the download step, then try the run step and get a message "not allowed". I have checked and I have admin privileges, and I've turned off the firewall security software thinking that it's blocking the install, but nothing works. Does anyone know if the older software is causing this and does it need to be removed before the latest version can go on. Also, if this problem is resolved am I going to have the same problem with Adobe?
What Firefox version is currently installed on the computer?
You can find the full version of the current current Firefox release (37.0.2) in all languages and all operating systems here:
*https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If you have a very old Firefox version then you could consider to uninstall that version to clean up existing registry keys (especial the uninstall key).
Make sure NOT to remove "personal data" when you uninstall Firefox, because that will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Check the Firefox program folder and remove the Firefox program folder if there are still files left in it.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
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.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

There is no Google tool bar for firefox 5.0 and i want to re-install an older version of firefox so I can use the Google tool bar. please give a link to an older version or make Google update the tool bar:)
You can try this extension to override compatibility issues,

Once it is installed, open Addons Manager and re-enable Google Toolbar.

On add-ons manager, I see that Trend Micro NSC Firefox Extention 6.5.0.1234 is not compatible with Firefox 4.0.1. I have contacted Trend and been told that their builders have not yet created a product that is compatible. I think this means that I should revert to an older version of Firefox until my internet security is updated. How do I do this? I'm clueless. :) Or, is there a better solution?

It will not run on Mac OSX 10.5.8, on a G% dual 2.0ghz, now my older version of Firefox is gone...
I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and It will not run on Mac OSX 10.5.8, on a Mac G5 dual 2.0ghz. Now my older version of Firefox is gone...Why won't it work, the download page says it is for OSX and does not say it will not work on any particular OSX. Can your clarify. And can I get the old Firefox 3 back or should I continue using Safari....?
Yes I've read every one of them, none of them provide solutions whatsoever, I have spent about ten hours on this site in the past two days to no avail, none of the "resolved" threads provided any sort of solution for me, I have tried everything suggested on this website so far, multiple times, to no avail.
