Automatic update for firefox on windows 7 is not working. Spinning circle

Firefax seems to be trying to upload the 3.6.9... version but never finishes.

Don't worry I have the bookmarks back.
I don't know why but they took a couple of hours to sync up whereas normally it is almost instantaneous.

Go to Tools > Options, Advanced, Update.
Under "automatically check for updates," uncheck the box next to Firefox.
Then click the button next to "ask me" under

If you don't see anything, wait eleven minutes and try again.

Automatic update to firefox 7. I do not want it!

Working 2 hours this morning trying to keep Firefox 6. I use RoboForm and it is not compatible. Very frustrated. I delete Firefox 7, download 6, reboot and when Firefox opens it automatically updates.

Automatic update of RemoteApp and Desktop Connections does not work (while manual updates with "update now" is working)

Hello,
on several Windows 7 Clients the update/refresh of the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections stopped not working automatically. There is a Update failed error. When we do an "Update Now" manually, it gets synchronized without problems.
I am asking me if there is an issue with a stored Password as we Need to Change the Passwords regularily. The error is occuring for Connections to all RDS Servers (we have severals).
Does Windows store the user Password in the Task Scheduler? If yes, does the schedule Task Password Change automatically after the Domain Password Change?
Or what else could be the issue? The RDS Server and the certificate (Name the same as the URL) seems to be fine as not all Clients have this issue.
Thank you for your help

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
By default it will automatically update the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections but if in any particular case it’s not happening then for a try you can restart the server and check the result again. In addition you can try running below command and check
the result.
Start-Process rundll32 -ArgumentList "tsworkspace,TaskUpdateWorkspaces2
More information:
Powershell to update "RemoteApp and Desktop Connections"
If a task is registered using the Administrators group for the security context of the task, then you must also make sure the Run with highest privileges check box is checked if you want to run the task. Please check “Task
Security Context” for more details.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
Dharmesh

With HP update for Maverick my photosmart C309A does not work properly

After the HP-update for Maverick my printer HP Photosmart C309A does not work correctly. The scan facility is gone and the printer "hangs" after one print. I had to reset the printer software from a backup and to disable the automatic installation facility on my IMac. Shortly, very very very nasty. I hope this is the way for Apple to change this update into a good one. There is no other way to communicate with Apple then through the Community. I wander if Yosemite gives the same problems with printers.

You are welcome.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Some people have solved this by restoring their previous driver from their backup.

I downloaded the update for adobe reader now it does not work

i downloaded the update for adobe reader now not any of it works I hate it

I downloaded adobe reader update now nothing works I hate it

Running Windows 7. All updates of Firefox after 5.0 do not work. How can I solve this. Tried several trouble shoot solutions already. They are not working. Pages will not load in new versions

pages just won't load in versions after 5.0. They load fine in any other browser, including Firefox 5.0. I'd really like to upgrade.

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

I updated to Firefox 4 and it will not work so I can not get on line and it replaced the old firefox so I also lost all my bookmarks. I need them back. How do I get them?

I have a Mc g5 with the 10.4.11 operating system. Your site is my home page and it kept bugging me to update to the firefox 4. So I did now when I try to get on it tells me that that "I can not open this application because it is not supported on this system". It replaced the old firefox that I had so I can not open that. I have no way to get to my book marks and I need them. Let me know how to get back to my old firefox and book marks.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

The Adobe Reader ADDON for Firefox 4.0.1 does not work correctly. Do you have an idea how to solve the problem?

I created a fancybox displaying a pdf-file in an iframe on my website http://www.agbcbonn.de/pages/activities/2011.php . It works fine with IE but in Mozilla Firefox 4.0.1 the mouse-wheel controle is lost after closing the box. You can only get back controle of the mousewheel if you klick to another window and then go back but this is really annoying to all users.

Thanks Roger Wilmut1 for your reply. I have Mac OSX 10.7 Lion and iOS5 . And since my question I have solved my own problem by going to System Preferences and Mail, Contacts, Calendars. I added my email addresses, including iCloud, merged the data for contacts etc. And found the missing link I needed to connect iCloud to my iPhone, and Mac calendars and more. Its now perfect.

No matter how many times I have tried to download the 'free update' for my Apple desktop it will not work and I keep having 'blocked images' messages. I had an issue a few months ago but eventually managed to download ok but it now goes thruogh the motion

I can not download the latest 'free upgrade' for Flash Player. I click on the link, it shows the download option agree, T's & C's, click 'next' it seems to download ok but nothing happens and I have tried at least a dozen times

This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
1.) Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
2.) Download the stand-alone installer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

Turn off automatic update of Firefox on Gnome 3, Fedora 15

On Fedora 15, using Gnome 3, I am unable to turn off automatic updates for Firefox, I am only able to turn off auto updates for Add-ons and Search Engines.

Possibly you have obtained a modified version of Firefox. Preferences, chrome, js or whatever may have been modified.
If work requires you to develop on certain versions, and you are doing some of that on this computer, why not install multiple copies of Firefox, including the required versions. I trust the required versions will be the currently supported versions; at the moment that is 3.6, 6, 7, 8 or 9
You should ensure you use multiple profiles so each has a unique profile.
For the current problematic firefox 6 do a clean install, deleting the original program files, but not the profile files. (or possibly an additional install in a custom location with a new profile - allowing you to retain the current firefox 6, and a standard firefox 6) Profiles may be cloned/copied if required, bookmark libraries may be accessed from other versions/profiles if necessary, and multiple versions can be run concurrently. ( I talk from a Windows perspective, but it is unlikely Linux is going to differ)

Keep getting a window to install a security update for Firefox 25.0.1. I have installed it 3 times already and still get the notice to install it again.

At least twice a day I get a pop up window alerting me to the need to install a security update for Firefox 25.0.1. I have installed it several times and still I am prompted to install it again. I have received no response from Mozilla on this issue. I had sent in an email about this several days ago.

Please note that all technical support is performed through this site. Mozilla will not respond to emails requiring technical support.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' and updating while in safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

I keep getting a popup window saying there is an important update for FireFox but when I click on "More information about this update" it doesn't show anything. It seems suspicious so I have not downloaded or installed it.

Any thoughts...?? Anyone have this issue and have an answer to it...???

There is a security update for Firefox (Firefox 10.0.2) which you should apply. Unfortunately, it looks as if the updater on your Firefox is messing up somehow.
The easiest way to work around this and get you secure is to go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], and download the latest version of Firefox there. After it downloads, go ahead and run the installer over your current Firefox. None of your settings will be changed, but it will apply the security fix, and you will be all good to go!

How do i make a tab active and make it stay that way always. If i put a website in my home page in order for the tabs to open automatically in that same homepage , this setting is not working, every time I open a tab , a white window appears .

By default Firefox opens a blank page for a new Tab, there is no setting to change that action without installing an add-on.

RoboForm Lite no longer works for Firefox 17 windows 7 and server 2008r2

Greetings,
RoboForm Lite no longer works for Firefox 17 windows 7 and server 2008r2 I tried to reinstall but none of the tabs function . Thank you for your assistance

'''roboform_firefox:'''
The original poster (OP) reported his/her OS as Windows 7 in the body of the question, therefore, your solution would be of no use to the OP. You can also see the OS for the system used by the OP to post the question to the right of the original question in this forum .
Additionally, using an old version of Firefox is ill-advised as old versions contain uncorrected security vulnerabilities. Roboform has been very good lately in keeping their products updated for new Firefox releases and any problems with their products should be reported to them so that they can address any issues and release an update if needed.
