After installing version 3.66 Firefox will not let my users update to a newer version

Every few months I go around to the office PCs where my users have normal guest rights (so they can not install applications). I log in as an Administrator and update programs as needed, including Firefox to the latest version (3.66). I've done this for years and Firefox always updates for them when they are logged in with their basic user rights. After I installed this version, everyone is getting an error that "there is an update available, but you do not have permission to install it". How can I fix this so the browser will update again for all my users.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== I logged is Administrator on all the office PC's and upgraded everyone to version 3.66

Try following the steps detailed at [[Updates reported when running newest version]]

After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time. It gives me the following error "You can't open the application "QuickTime Player.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete." What can I do?

After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time. I receive the following error message:
You can’t open the application “QuickTime Player.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete. So I tried to unistall QT and I get an error that says, You can not delete this application as it is a requirement for the OSX.
Well I did find a way to delete it, by going into the various components and one by one deleting it. Now I reinstall it and the message is that this Quick Time is for an earlier version before Maverick 7. SMH....Now what.?

Hello, terrygav.
I would recommend processing a reinstall of Mavericks.

Have you tried to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]?
What about [[Managing profiles]]?
Try to download the latest Firefox (3.6.4) from website. I hope your settings will not be lost; possibly, it was something with network connection, and Firefox updated only one half of itself; that's why I recommend to download it from website and install manually.

After installing Exchange cu6 2 servers will not autostart

after installing Exchange CU6 - 2 services will NOT autostart
Transport Submission & Unified Messaging
Both will start if I goto Services & Manually start these
(Unified Messaging - I think that was an option on the initial install but I'm not using unified messaging anyway!)
any ideas how to find out why and fix it ?
ChrisS

Hi
They are probably dependant on other services, try delaying the startup of these services and see. I have it with one of my servers as well but since CU2. if i set the services to delayed then they start correctly.

I have to tell Firefox that I am logging in from "home" every time I log into Facebook. Firefox will not let me unclick ""Send me an email" under Login Notifications in Facebook "My Account" settings. Why? (to both questions)

I have to tell Firefox that I am logging in from "home" every time I log into Facebook. Firefox will not let me unclick ""Send me an email" under Login Notifications in Facebook "My Account" settings. Why? (to both questions)

It started last week - I normally use Chrome to play my games in Facebook - but I started getting "Sorry, this feature isn't available
right now"..... When I used IE..... no problem - a friend said to install Foxfire, which I did, but I made the mistake of having my bookmarks and whatever transferred from Google as it is the browser I used most often and it has all my bookmarks, but
now it does the same thing when I try to log into Facebook. - I have no problem with any other website. I deleted both Google and Foxfire and tried to start over - I cleared History and checked all the boxes hoping that this would help - but it did not.
I can't understand why I can get in with IE, but not Google or Foxfire. Do you have any suggestions.......
On Friday, it started working again - and everything was fine. But on Sunday evening I ran the History Clean in Google and when
I went to log back in, I couldn't and got the same "Sorry" message and has stayed this way since.
I ran a Norton scan of the entire computer, a Hitman scan, a CCleaner scan, ... all to no avail. Problem still exists.
I tried to run a restore program prior to the problem, but I am getting error messages like mad.
there has been two Windows Updates in this time frame and I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not - but my Restore program does not work.
NYCsDancer -- if its working via Internet Explorer, we can't help you much. Most of the time it has to do with Cookies, or your Java Version. I'd reach out to Google's forums for assistance with Chrome

When loading gmail, firefox will not let me access my mail and redirects gmail to it's calendar

After upgrading to firefox 3.6, Firefox will not let me access my gmail. When I open gmail it redirects to the google calendar . this occurs all the time
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after downloading to the latest version (3.6) of firefox

I have the exact same problem. When I go to Gmail the page initially loads, but then will be redirected to the calendar page. This is a repeatable error and only started after upgrading to the latest version of Firefox.

Firefox will not let me get on any websites (safe AND not safe), claiming that it "may pose a security threat to your system"; when I try to choose the "proceed unprotected" option, it won't let me.

My computer's anti-virus software recently expired. A few days later, I went to download a new anti-virus software . . . when I opened up Firefox, I received a warning that claimed Firefox was infected with "Trojan-BNK.Win32.Keylogger.gen", and gave me two options: "Activate XP Security 2011 (recommended)" (this was a $60 charge and required credit card info) or "Continue unprotected (Dangerous)"
Since I needed to install new anti-virus, I figured I would continue unprotected, download my new software quickly, and remove the virus. But when Firefox opened, it gave me a message saying: "Firefox alert. Visiting this site may pose a security threat to your system!". Gave me three options:
1. "Get a copy of 'XP Security 2011' to safeguard your PC while surfing the web (RECOMMENDED)"
2. "Run a spyware, virus and malware scan" (I already did this)
3. "Continue surfing without any security measures (DANGEROUS)"
I tried clicking on different links, but the same warning kept showing up, even on verified and safe sites. I tried to choose the third option so that I could download my anti-virus software quickly, but nothing happened when I clicked on it - the page reloads and the warning shows up again.
My computer is still without anti-virus software because Firefox will not let me surf the internet. Please help!

It sounds as though your PC is infected with fake antivirus software. The detailed cleanup instructions vary depending on which fake AV you have. However, as a first step, try this:
Download the following on a different PC, copy them to a USB flash drive or CD, and then run them on the infected PC:
Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
Hopefully these will get you back online safely. If not, search for clean-up instructions for the specific malware.

TS2998 After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin).

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin). How do i regain control of my inbox?

The main differences that can cause a problem are scripting additions (64-bit vs 32-bit and security reasons) and the usage of dates (it is not as forgiving). AppleScript itself is basically the same, so if empty paragraphs are what caused your problems the update would have just been a coincidence.

My University email uses outlook and firefox will not let the page open once i log into the university login. It used to work, but now just shows a completely white tab. My email works fine in other browsers. Why?

When I email photos from my iphone, firefox will not let me open them in yahoo.mail as jpeg images, only firefox documents

when I email photos from my iphone, firefox will not let me open them in yahoo.mail as jpeg images, only firefox documents

Two weeks ago I posted this, but no one replied telling me how to correct the problem.
I think Firefox engineers need to improve Firefox between now and the next up-date to make it adequate to handle all major websites. There aren't many websites used by as many people as yahoo. So why have Firefox engineers ignored this deficiency in Firefox?

Firefox will not let me click on some tabs and will not let me scroll up on right side of screen

all of the sudden tonight firefox will not let me "click" to open tabs. also will not let me scroll the screen up on right side of screen. can scroll down, but not up.

This issue can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar extension

The address bar in firefox will not let me use down arrow in menu boxes on any website or in the url bar

The address bar in firefox will not let me use down arrow in menu boxes or in the url bar. Usually if I click on the down arrow in the url bar, my most common websites pop up... now it won't show me them...
It is also happening in any website I use via Fire fox. I don't have this problem with windows or Internet Explorer. Even the down arrow box below this.. asking "this happened" won't let me see the choices.. it just flashes by.

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing": Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History,Bookmarks,History and Bookmarks
See [[Smart Location Bar]]
