Browser says not latest version of Firefox but just installed.
Every time I launch Firefox, the browser home page says I am not using the latest version, update now. I just updated with that horrid Yahoo toolbar. I want to get rid of that but I cannot get rid of it without getting rid of Firefox. Do I have to go back to using Internet Explorer?
hello, please start by [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|resetting firefox]], which should address the "outdated" message...
in order to get rid of yahoo, please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove the toolbar.
<br>also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted yahoo software from there.
<br>finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

I tried to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox but on the Firefox start page it still says "you are not on the latest version of Firefox, upgrade now". The start page looks different so maybe it did upgrade but why does the reminder still show?
You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. It appears that page is no longer being maintained by Google. You appear to have the latest Firefox version.
'''If you want the Google search page as your home page,''' change your home page to '''''about:home''''' (a new, updated version of the old Google/Firefox home page is now built-in to Firefox).

Trying to download and install the latest version of itunes but at install i get"older version of Bonjour connot be removed" then asks me to contact tech support and download is stopped.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the 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 Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time? -
I constantly get messages that say I am not using the latest version of Firefox & then do not display properly. I am using v3.6.3 & get this message on a lot of sites I visit.
Just noticed that in the guesses shown below -even this thinks I am using v2.0 Firefox version, which is not correct.

I have the latest version of Firefox but iCloud says my browser isn't supported.
Firefox says there are no updates available, but when I go to iCloud.com, I get a page saying my browser isn't supported and I should upgrade to the newest version. I can't upgrade my IE - the last time I did it messed up my computer so badly I had to revert to factory settings. Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions as to why iCloud isn't detecting my up-to-date Firefox browser?
There is one other thing about when I updated firefox. It automatically disabled a bunch of add ons that were incompatible. Other than that I don't know how. I've given up on icloud all together now.
I just checked my plugins for firefox and they are all enabled now.
There is a selection to "check to see if your plugins are up to date" in the options/plugins in firefox and I did that during the install to also update plugins as well as to update firefox. my version now says 7.0.1. Look in help/about and see if this is what you have -
The last time I updated I lost all the info I had on Reminderfox and would really like to avoid that happening again, any help gratefully recieved.
Make sure you have the latest version of ReminderFox which is compatible with Firefox 4, available from https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/reminderfox

I keep downloading and installing latest version (8) of Firefox. The browser states I have Firefox 8. However, on Google Mail and some other websites I get a message stating I am running an out of date unsupported version of Firefox.
Reset all the '''general.useragent.''' prefs that are '''bold''' and say '''user set'''.
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' <br />
Filter = '''general.useragent.''' <br />
Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset'''''. <br />
Then restart Firefox -

Latest version of iTunes, but just purchased song does not play!
Hi All,
All other songs I have purchased in the last few weeks from iTunes play fine, however the song I have just bought won't. I have all the latest drivers, I have checked for Updates in iTunes but there are none...
Personally, I am wondering whether the file corrupted when I downloaded it, in which case I guess my money has just gone down the drain and I have to cough up again?
Thanks in advance,
TomHey melthepest,
Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPo classic is not displayed in iTunes when connected to your computer. The following articles include troubleshooting steps that may help resolve your issue, depending on the symptoms:
iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes

iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows

putting a search option in the search box to the right of the address bar opens up the full search window but then Firefox hangs.
Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed, and those websites don't know you are running Firefox 3.6.3 (which is what you do have installed).
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',

I've tried using the print icon on the downloaded form and also control P, but only get a blank page. I've even changed printers, but it didn't help. My print menu looks the same and I do not have trouble printing anything else, only with downloaded files.
If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
'''Right''': 12.7
'''Top''': 12.7
'''Left''': 12.7
'''Bottom''': 12.7
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary. -
I have a Macbook and as usual, I was notified of a Firefox update, which I accepted. Since uploading the new version, when I type a search into the usual box and click enter or on search button, nothing happens at all. This is very annoying! I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.I just went to the Help>Troubleshooting Information>Open Containing Folder>Organize>Select All then deleted everything. When I reopened Firefox my homepage asked for my password, the option for Firefox to remember, I clicked remember and now it is working.
By the way the previous post was me as well. Just a typo, should have been stlblues1226 as well. -
I downloaded the update as instructed. Then it told me to wait for the firefox icon. It never appeared so I couldn't complete the update. I've tried many times.
Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
