Can't install update to 3.6.14 even after making sure there is no other firefox running, and even after reboot.

Currently using 3.6.13. Received indication of update to 3.6.14, but restarting Firefox produces a box that says "Can't install the update, make sure there is no other Firefox version running."
There is no other Firefox running. I tried several times, with same results. Used "End process" from task manager instead of normal exit from Firefox, with same results. Shut down and rebooted the computer, and Firefox still shows the same problem.

"Private Browsing" with "Anonymizer Never Cookie" starts a second copy of Firefox, which apparently doesn't entirely go away after use. I started Firefox, went to Private Browsing, and then used Task Manager to "End Process Tree" for both Firefox processes. I then started Firefox again, and the update worked correctly.

  • After a start-up I'm told "Firefox update cannot be completed, Please close existing Firefox. There is no other Firefox running after a fresh start-up.

    If Firefox is sending me updates they won't come thru because I'm told that Firefox is already running. I get this message whether it is the first time I'm using it for the day or even after a start-up. This started about two days ago.

  • An update tries to run, but an error message stating "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." I can't open Firefox

    I click on Firefox and it says that Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few minutes. Then I get "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." this cycle never ends. Do I need to deinstall Firefox and re-install? If I do that, do i lose all of my bookmarks, etc?

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
    Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder:
    *C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    *(%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates)
    *C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    *Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    *Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer. Do not remove personal data when uninstalling.
    *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.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

    hi
    I had the same problem (update failed for normal user, update worked for administrator, but then normal user still got asked about installing the update even though it was already done).
    Following the advice on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_update#Software_Update_not_working_properly worked for me, in particular to remove the update-related xml files.
    good luck

    hi, i have zte open c with Fos 1.3 and there is no russian keyboard in settings (rus locale working fine), how can i install it? (i do not use linux) may be there is firmware update or something in market?

    To give an update on this issue, here is the latest information I have:
    "Indeed the current eBay Open C doesn't come with root privilege. Now ZTE is going to put an engineering build on their website for users to download and flash."
    I will update this thread as I know more information. Thank you for your patience.

    Hello...
    I am having the exact same problem this person was having, except that I wasn't able to repair permissions. When I attempt to do this, I get this message:
    The underlying task reported failure on exit.
    Does this mean that I have to do an Archive and Install? In which case, would you mind walking me through that process? <:)
    I really have no idea why this is occurring, as well..if you could explain that to me, I'd be very grateful.

    Help?

    Hi Kristelline and Paul-Armstrong,
    I saw your posts and I will be happy to help.
    @Kristelline
    Do you have the links that you used to download the Cyberlink MediaSuite and Cyberlink LabelPrint?
    Are you getting any errors message when you are trying the installation? Try doing the installation with your anti-virus disconnected. Also try right-clicking on the file and running it as Administrator.
    @Paul-Armstrong
    When do you get that error message about it not being a valid drive during the install or before it starts?
    Thank you,

    You can do a manual install of the camera raw 8.3 plugin into pse 12, which is not too difficult, if you follow the steps below.
    Download this file which contains the 8.3 camera raw plugin
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-84-support-policy/_jcr_content/main-pa rs/download_0/file.res/Camera%…
    Extract (unzip) the Camera Raw_83_GM_32bit.zip
    Right click on the Camera Raw 8bi plugin and select Copy
    Go to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 12\File Formats (vista 32 bit system)
    or
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 12\File Formats (vista 64 bit system)
    delete the old camera raw plugin that is already there and then right click and select Paste to put the new plugin in that folder.
    Then download and install the 8.3 dng converter to install the required camera profiles

    If this is on your computer's iTunes then log out via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then log back in with the updated version of your account. If on an iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out and then log back in.

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
    Install the new version that you have downloaded.
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • I can not install updates for Adobe 9 Pro

    I can not install updates for Adobe 9 Pro

    When you can not install the updates from the Help menu, go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows (similar for MAC) and install the updates in order. It is a good idea to download from the most recent back in case there are any you can skip (each updates indicates the prior version required). You generally need to reboot only after the last update.
