Does Firefox search for updates constantly?

I have Malwarebytes and it is blocking Firefox several times a day and from many many ip addresses. Does Firefox try several ip addresses when searching for updates?

Hi...
Safari > Preferences > RSS
Every 30 minutes is as often Safari can update RSS articles.
AFAIK, it's not possible to set it up for a specific time of day.
You might check Safari > Safari Extensions. Might be something under Productivity under Categories.

  • Why does Firefox search for Files, Folders and Sizes during the install?

    Every time I install an upgrade to Firefox is scans for File Size, Files and Folders... Why?

    I reset Firefox a second time and now everything seems to be working fine, as you described: "The Forward slash (/) worked for quick find and the Apostrophe (') worked for Quick Find Links Only."
    Thanks.

  • HT4623 that's a nice article about updates, however my IPAD (original) does not have the button to search for updates... what then?

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • HT1338 My new MacBook Pro is constantly searching for updates.

    This problem is in the updates tab of the app store. I need to update To the newest version of software, but I cannot update the new software or shut down the computer until it finishes searching for updates. This has gone on for at least an hour or two. Can I do a hard shut down?

    Do command-option-esc to force quit the App Store program. Then from the Apple in the menu select Software Update.

  • I have mac osx 10.6.8 and I keep getting update notices that do nothing, just search for update server. Happens every day. What can you or I do to fix this?

    I have mac osx 10.6.8 and I keep getting update notices that do nothing, just search for update server. Happens every day. What can you or I do to fix this? Other people I work with and use macs have the same issue.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • I get banners messages that updates are available, but when it searches for updates it can't find them

    I get banners messages that updates are available, but when the App Stroe applications searches for updates it can't find them and says that: no uodates are available. I had to download both the MAC OS10.8.1 and MAC OS10.8.2 manually from the Apple website.

    You can start the Firefox program as Administrator via the right-click context menu.

  • Can't search for updates in PSE

    Hello everybody,
    I'm using Elements since last Sunday. Now I face the problem I can't search for updates and I get the failurecode U41M1C212.
    Does anybody now what I can do to fix the problem?.
    Putting the Firewall or Antivirus off doesn't help.
    (Sorry about my bad English, I'm from the Netherlands (and I use a Dutch version of PSE))

    Does anything here help?

  • Where does one search for ALL the APPS that are available?

    Where does one search for All the apps that are available ?

    If you don't see any messages, not have anti-malware running or the Firewall on, try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8 (according to your profile).
    Restart your Mac after the combo in installed, try the App Store.
    Also... if you have an app called Little Snitch installed, that can prevent a connection to the App Store.

  • Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2 never finishes searching for updates and use 100% of CPU.

    Hi everyone, I am having issues updating a clean Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2, so any help with be appreciated cause I've already tried all my cards for the past 5 days in this particular issue without success.
    All I did so far is installing Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise with Service Pack 2, open IE to update, it keeps searching for updates and never stop, after 20mn to 30mn the process svchost.exe start using 100% of my CPU.
    I already tried the following scenarios:
    1-  Install IE8, install the update KB927891 and the Windows Update Agent 3.0 (I already had this one installed). Reboot and run windows update trough IE8 and the problem did not solved.
    2- Install those 2 software "MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run" and "MicrosoftFixit50777", open IE to update, it still hangs and continues eating my CPU. This is the output of "MicrosoftFixit".
    Windows Update error 0x8007000D(2014-01-06-T-06_06_34A) --> Not Fixed
    Cryptographic service components are not registered (This service is actually running successfully) --> Not Fixed
    3- I found the following script that would register some DLL, deleting the "SoftwareDistribution" and forcing windows update to solve the problem and nothing happened either.

    Herein is the root cause of your issue. A topic that's been discussed in several blogs, forums, and even in the media since September regards a known issue with attempting to patch IE6 RTM via Windows Update.
    Aside from that particular issue... browsing the Internet with an unpatched instance of IE6, especially from a Windows Server system, is also asking for a world of hurt.
    Might I suggest the following:
    Download the IE8 for Windows Server 2003 installer to a thumb drive.
    Download the latest Cumulative Security Update for IE8 for Windows Server 2003 to a thumb drive.
    Reinstall Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.
    Upgrade to IE8 from the thumb drive installer and apply the
    Cumulative Security Update.
    Now your machine is capable of safely browsing to Windows Update to install the rest of the updates (well, maybe, there's also all those other Security Updates from the past seven years that your machine still has vulnerabilites for -- even those seven
    years of updates are going to take a Very Long Time to scan for, download, and install).
    Why don't you have a WSUS server? -- noting, wryly, that you've posted in the *WSUS* forum.

  • Officejet 6700 error while searching for updates: 'Printer could not connect to server'

    I recently purchase the Officejet 6700 Premium. While setting the printer up, I received the error 'The printer could not connect to the server.' I first received this while the printer was searching for updates. I later received the same error while trying to set up ePrint from my computer.
    The printer is connected through my wireless router. All other print services function normally. It is connected to the network, and I have printed several times over the wireless network.
    Though I don't think it matters, since the on-board print set-up gave me the error, I run Windows 7 64-bit on my computer.
    Thanks for any help!

    What is the IP address of the printer?  What is the make and model of the router that you use in the wireless set up? Is the router firmware up to date? 
    I would first try power cycling the router and the printer. Turn off/unplug the router and then power down the printer. Then plug the router back in and wait for it to be fully up and functioning before turning the printer back on.  After you have both pieces of equipment back on and functioning attempt to connect to web services again.
    If still having problems I would attempt to set a static DNS on the printer through the embedded web server (EWS) by entering the printer's IP address into the address bar of  a browser on a computer. 
    Once that computer displays that page click on the Network tab.
    Then look in the column to the left and find the Wireless section
    Click on IPv4
    Then on that page look at the 2nd section that is labeled DNS Address configuration
    Change the radio button to the manual option
    Then for the manual preferred fill it out and make sure it reads 8.8.8.8
    Secondary should be set to 8.8.4.4
    Then hit Apply
    Read the next screen carefully. That message with the "OK" button below it  is one that states to click that button to undo the changes you  just made.  Just navigate away from that page by clicking on another tab.
    Then reattempt to connect to web services.

  • Trying to sync my new 5 and it says my iTunes needs to be updated.  however when i click on "search for updates" it says i am up to date???

    Hello KYaple,
    It sounds like there are permissions issues with iTunes. When you sync it may be trying to copy purchased items from your iPhone to your iTunes. Check out the article below to try and resolve it.

  • Error on installation: printer keeps searching for updates.

    I get an error on installation: printer keeps "searching for updates" Installation is OK, printer works, but because of the continued messaging on the printer, the screen on printer is unusable. Any ideas? 

    Hey @Rooms ,
    Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
    I understand that you are getting a message on your screen that doesn't go away and it says "searching for updates".
    Are you still experiencing this message or has it gone away by now?
    Have you unplugged the printer and waited for a few minutes and then plugged it back in?
    Do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause.
