An upgrade window appears when Mozilla is opened When this is clicked on Mozilla Firefox becomes redundant

HI
When I open MF a script saying to install upgrade appears. When I click for the upgrade the script disappears and all icons for mozilla firefox become inoperable
Meaning that when clicking on the icon a message appears saying that the MF has been removed or shifted rendering the MF icons inoperable.
I have had to use the [restore to an earlier time] twice to reinstate the program to an operable state
Please Advise
Temanuao

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version of the Firefox installer.
Uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
*C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 17.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
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.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    Ad on Extension windows appears blank....when i go to window...there appear nothing....plz help me

    Do you mean the Extensions tab (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or the Get Extensions tab in "Tools > Add-ons"?
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.

  • I would like to create a pop-up window appear from Labview Interface. In this window, I will have a slide control and an image taken from a camera. The main VI have to run while pop-up window is open. How can I do ?

    When I pushed a button, this pop-up window has to appear. There will be a slide control and a picture from a camera in this window. Is it possible to make appear this windows while main VI Interface continue to run ? How can I do this ? Thank you for your answers.
    Cyril.

    Here you go. This is simple example. Maybe not the best way, I am just
    beginner in LV and still not comfortable with data flow that much. I prefer
    events, so I would change this to use Event Structures.
    When you click on OK button on SliderMain, it opens Slider.vi. Now both
    windows are open and you can interact with both. Now if you click on OK
    again with Slider.vi open, you run into problems. Only thing I did was
    change VI properties of slider.vi, mainly window appearance.

  • Elements 11 program stops working when photo collage opened when 297 x 210 selected

    Adobe Photoshop elements 11 program stops working when photo collage opened when 297 x 210 selected>Running Windows 8.1

    Hi Jane
    There are sometimes problems calling up the template from the media database. Why not design your own? It is possible to make a collage manually in Expert Mode and its quite easy.
    Click File >> Open and select all of your photos
    That will add them to the project bin
    Then select File >> New >> Blank File
    Select background color White (or whatever you prefer) and add your width and height for your final image (set resolution 72 for web usage or 240 to 300 for printing) then click OK
    In the project bin click your first photo and drag it up into the main window on top of your new background.
    Click on the move tool and click in the center of the photo and drag to arrange it where you want on the background - you can hold down the shift key to maintain original proportions whilst dragging the corner handles of the bounding box to get the size you want.
    Do the same with the next photo (drag it up into the main window) and use the move tool to position it. Then continue with each image.
    Finally Click Layer >>Flatten image and save as jpeg. (Save as PSD if you want to preserve the layers for editing again)
    N.B. as you add images they get dropped in the center. So you need to use the move tool to drag them apart. Click in the middle of one and move it around, and then the others until you get them positioned as you want.
    When you click again with the move tool a bounding box appears around the image and you can drag out the corner handles to re-size your photos. Hold down the shift key when dragging the corner handle and that will maintain the proportions of the original.
    Finally click Layer >>Flatten Image and save your collage - you may then want to use the crop tool to cut away any surplus white canvas, and then re-save.

  • An unwanted bookmark window appears every time I open a new page

    When I open a new page I very frequently get a window full of bookmark folders on the left of the screen. It takes up space and I have to close it over and over and over. I can't find a preference that will make it go away forever.

    I upgraded to Firefox/3.6.3 on April 7, 2010. I am running OSX 5.8 on a G5 PowerPac Mac. This problem happens when I click on a link that opens a new window on my Mac. The new window then automatically opens with the history left bar open. It is not occurring when I simply open a new window myself.

  • Registration window appears every time I open InDesign...and it's already registered

    After a recent computer crash, I reloaded ID CS2 on a new system and even though it's been successfully activated and registered, the registration window is appearing every time I open InDesign. I received an e-mail from Adobe thanking me for registering, including the special "offer" I can now take advantage of...so I know it's registered.
    How can I stop that registration window from appearing every time I open InDesign?

    Bob,
    Can you be a bit more specific?
    My Registration Window just recently started popping up, too, even though it's been registered -- and registered -- several times.
    I went to:
    - Control Panel, then selected
    - Security Center, then selected
    - "Change the way Security Center alerts me"
    I'm presented with three options:
    1. Yes, notify me and display the icon (recommended);
    2. Don't notify me, but display the icon; and
    3. Don't notify me and don't display the icon (not recommended).
    So, which choice would still keep my system protected, but get rid of the irritating Registration Window from popping up each time I start Adobe?
    Thanks.

  • New Window opened asking you to click to update Firefox - Genuine?

    While browsing using Firefox today, a new tab opened asking me to click on a button to update Firefox.
    Since Firefox normally updates automatically I felt this was a scam and did not press the button.
    Your site confirms my Firefox is the latest version.
    Is this a known/new attempt at virus installation - assuming it was not a genuine page.
    If so, people need to be warned.
    Thanks

    Hello jpweir,
    Thanks for your concern.
    This is possibly a fake update notice.
    Firefox updates is done either as a software update in Firefox by way of a .mar file or by downloading it from mozilla.org and never by as a small .exe like this especially since Firefox is also for Mac OSX and Linux.

  • Upgrade Windows 8.1 computer without key when Win 10 will not activate

    I understand that activation of Windows 10 is not necessary but concerned about production build not activating.  My Win 10 Enterprise install shows not activated and will not activate even after keying new activation key found on these pages. 
    My concern is the target computer is a Dell 660s that I bought for cheap off the shelf at Best Buy.  Purchased with Win 8 installed and shortly after upgraded to 8.1 with no activation problem.  The computer does not have a label on it with the original
    Win 8 key on it.  I assume it is a legitimate copy of Windows given where it was bought and showed no activation problem with 8.0 or 8.1.  I bought the computer just as a Windows 8 learning tool, so was anxious to use the Win 10 Technical Preview
    on it.  I have had many problems with the computer not rebooting after updates to the Preview have been installed.  Just blank screen with no Post.  Sometimes boots after many retries - usually with a message that the previous boot did not make
    it past a certain checkpoint.  It does seem to boot with 1 or 2 tries if I open the computer and use the jumper to clear CMOS.  Tried that mostly due to the no Post messages.  Maybe coincidence that it takes less tries to boot after the CMOS
    clear.  Don't know if the problem is due to Windows 10 or a glitch developed in the Dell computer itself.  Suspect the later because I tested by replacing the hard disk with an empty formatted one and tried booting Win 10 and Win 8 boot images from
    the DVD drive with no success.
    But to repeat after rambling on, my main concern is whether Win 10 will activate when the production version is released and not having the label on my computer to enter the previous Win 8 key and past the Dell support time period.
    Note: I tried to thank both responders at this point; but the 2nd person response gave 'unexpected error' when I tried to submit.  Problem has been solved. 5/1/15

    Ordinarily there should not need to be a key needed.
    I am running the pro version on an old netbook and enterprise in a virtual machine
    neither asked for a serial to install and updates have been smooth lately, but I have had to make clean installs of both since the original preview was released
    glad I could be of help, feel free to come back to the forum in case you need more help

  • Emac processing SLOW...wheel spins even when trying to open "about this mac"

    this is a new to me mac. I have only had it about 5 days.
    running 10.5.8.  1.42g 512 160g w/superdrive
    It runs slow most of the time. when I am connected to the internet it seems ok, but when running or trying to open things like itunes, system preferences, system profiler and other applications it keeps that annoying spinning wheel going for minutes.  I have even had to just shut it off and start it back up again by pressing the button.  also, when I put in a cd or dvd it takes forever to read it. and the drawer doesn't want to open readily.
    my other mac running 10.4.11 on 800mhz 512 80g doesn't have this trouble at all. I was thinking I was upgrading. 
    I tried to do repair permissions and that was taking forever, so I stopped it.
    I know I will get some smirks by this, but I do not have the start up disks. I purchased this used without the disks.
    I did look up some other posts about this, but wondered if there were some more suggestions without downloading anything.
    any help would be appreciated.
    thanks! Kelli

    Hi Kelli,
    10.5 needs twice as much Memory as 110.4 does, as wel it's far more demanding of the Video card & Hard Drive.
    These are "Minimums" which never suffice for much...
    Tiger Requirements...
    To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
        * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
        * Built-in FireWire
        * At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
        * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
        * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools  (I recommend 20GB minimum)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    So we know more about it...

  • When trying to open an article on the Epson Knowledgebase Firefox reports 'SYSTEM ERROR'. page opens fine in internet explorer

    When I try and open the link to an article on the Epson Kowledgebase Firefox shows a large exclamation mark ! and the message'APPLICATION ERROR. If problem persists contact system administrator' . When I open the same link in Internet explorer it works fine. Why will it not open in Firefox please? any ideas?

    Hello, can you please provide the link of the offending page which is working fine on Internet Explorer, but showing an 'Application Error' so that we can take a look. Typically this happens if the website owner has some code specific to IE that is not cross-platform.
    Thank you

  • TS3579 Finder is displaying wrong information on date of modification and when files are opened up, this did not help me. I am using Mavericks.

    Never tried this before but this, the topic, is a little bit annoying at times.. any idea how to fix this or is this just how it will be? This is not OS X ML tho as stated in topic.

    I've just reported that to Apple at https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    It's fair to call it a bug I think. Opening a folder changes the modification dates of some, but not all, the folders enclosed.
    Plays havoc with organising time series (backups, things one has just worked on, etc.).

  • When my email opens when I hit inbox it comes in as read. It used to come in bold and like unread what it is what happened I did not do anything

    It is pretty simple. It used to always come in bold cause it was unread. Now it is coming in as read and that is not right .

    Firefox does not do email. You probably have a web email application and I keep getting notices all the time for email applications that are being changed -- change now or get changed anyway, I think is how some of them read.

  • After being open for a while (with several tabs) Firefox becomes generally unresponsive and stops playing sound - videos will still play, but no sound.

    This problem has only begun happening recently. I commonly keep my Firefox open overnight with websites like rainymood.com or grooveshark.com playing, as well as several other tabs including but not limited to Facebook, Reddit, and YouTube. Sometimes, after several hours/days of not restarting Firefox or my computer, Firefox begins to become unresponsive - that is to say, pages take a long time to load, opening new tabs is difficult for the browser, and videos will take up to 30 seconds to begin playing. In addition to this, sound will stop playing; if I begin a YouTube video, after the initial period of excessive loading, the video will play, but without any audio. Also, websites such as rainymood.com and grooveshark, even Facebook, will stop making sound.
    Note that this is different from a flash plugin crash - when flash crashes, both audio and video become inaccessible and a simple refresh or restart of Firefox will solve the problem. But what is happening here is different; if I refresh the tab, nothing changes, and even if I restart Firefox, it opens again the same way until I restart my computer completely.
    Also of note: I have had, in the past, this same thing happen but rainymood.com continued playing, however no other tabs would make sound. The problem is sporadic and I'm not sure where to begin. Also, sometimes this is only a Firefox-specific problem, meaning other programs on my computer can make sounds, but sometimes this problem makes my entire computer stop making sounds, except for Ventrilo, which works but is also unresponsive at first.

    You can also try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    *https://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/09/hardware-acceleration/

  • When going through open tabs, they will randomly stop loading correctly, instead causing the windows to stack on each other.

    The pages will start to merge into each other, or something, usually with a delay after trying to get to a different tab. It's realy hard to explain what I mean, so look at the screen shot. This time it was a bit cute due to what parts of the pages I was on merged together, but still really disruptive.
    Once it starts happening, Firefox becomes unusable until I shut down the process with task manager. What can I do to make this all stop?

    Please make sure that all of your plugins are up to date.
    *[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/]
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    #Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
    #* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
    #* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    #In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
