Downloaded FF 3.6.12 upgrade, launched FF, but it won't. Re-downloaded, re-launched, same result. on Mac OS 10.5.8

I've used FF for years on a Mac, no prob. Recently downloaded the upgrade to 3.6.12 (as recommended by FF), but now I can't launch FF.

Are you using Clear Recent History to clear any data when you close Firefox?

  • I have paid for the Mountain Lion. But for some reason, I cannot seem to download it, despite software being upgraded. Anyone facing this problem where the download does not begin? How can I solve this?

    Make sure your Mac qualifies to run Mountain Lion >  Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
    Try disabling anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferencs > Security & Privacy
    Apps such as Little Snitch and Net Nanny can prevent apps from downloading from the App store including Mountain Lion.
    Third party download managers are not compatible with the App Store.
    Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

    Did you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader on your library? Just downloading it isn't enough.  Go to your Applications/Utilities folder and launch iPhoto Library Upgrader V1.1 and run it on your library. 
    Did you upgrade iPhoto to 9.6.1 via the App Store?  If so launch iPhoto 9.6.1 and open the library.

    No, I don't know about that kind of software. It isn't Pages anyway. You need somekind of database.

  • I've downloaded/installed/restarted firefox version 35 twice alreay but still asks me to download 35, why?

    I've downloaded/installed/restarted firefox version 35 twice alreay but still asks me to download 35, why?

    Thank you for your responses.
    I think both times were through Firefox.
    James is right when I click "About Firefox," it tells me that it's still '34.0.5.'
    Then I guess my question now is why 35 doesn't get installed while I think I did what I supposed to do and restarted twice?
    How can I open 35 instead of 34?
    Meanwhile, now Firefox is strongly recommending to install 35.0.1.
    Thanks for your time!

  • I just upgraded to lion but mainstage won't open

    just upgraded from snow leopard 10.6.8 to lion 10.7.3 yesterday.  logic 9.1.6 works fine but mainstage won't open.  it stops at the "initializing graphics" stage and goes no further.  i also note that the icon idicates it is version 2.0.0 which i thought was an earlier version but i'm not sure.  could lion have transformed mainstage back to an earlier version and not done the same to logic?  how weird!!
    any recommendations?

    Contact this address below and request a new download, and that the one you have does not open or it crash whe doing so.
    They open up my account and allowed me to reinstall.
    My redowndloaded Mainstage is now working on my MacB Pro, and four [4] externals, with out any problems.
    Hope this will help others, who are having a problem with Mainstage v 2.2.1

  • I am trying to download an album from ITUNES and I keep getting a "session has timed out" message with no further option but to try again. I get the same results. Anyone have any ideas?

    I am trying to download and album off ITUNES but when I get to the billing site and attempt to purchase it, it gives me a message saying "Your Session has timed out." It gives me no other option that to try again and I just keep getting the same results. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?

    Hi, Kenny. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple things that I would recommend trying.  Try closing all open applications and power cycle the device.  Next, go through the section labeled Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the second article below.  If the issue persists, try completely signing out of the iTunes Store on the iOS device and sign back in.  Be sure to test downloading an application after each step.

  • I downloaded a book onto ibooks for my PC but it won't download it is stuck

    Hello, I downloaded the book " The Fault In Our Stars" by John Green about 5 days ago. And till this day it is stuck downloading. I have another John Green book that i bought but it is also stuck downloading. I've tried restarting my Mac Book Air and redownloading the books but they still get stuck. I am out of ideas to try to fix it. I do have a picture of what it looks like so please help me.file:///Users/92699/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202014-06-02%20at%2011.08.13%20AM.png

    If the book won't open then try deleting it from the bookshelf and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app and see if you can open that.

  • ITunes Truly Epitomizes Definition of Insanity since can't download free apps due to Technical Difficulties and iTunes says to try again later and get same results

    iTunes truly epitmizes the Definition of Insanity.   I can't even download free apps.  iTunes says they are having technical difficulties.  What an understatement.  iTunes makes everyone go crazy by saying to try again later.  When we try again, same result. 

    Ha!
    I've been saying that iTunes is a "@#8*!^8 crazy *#!" ever since I reinstalled it, LOL!
    I had that thing, just about *duct-taped and stuffed between the attic rafters* for the past 3 years,
    and never missed it.
    Then...well...I told my husband, that I must've incurred an Aneurysm during sleep...because for some reason, the %*@$! has now reappeared, and is just as OCD and Hyper, as it was when I had it
    *locked up*!
    But my husband keeps swearing that I re-downloaded it, because I missed hearing my favorite
    pod-shows.
    Anyhoo...since, I've re-inflated it, I've only used it for 1/2 an evening, before I gave a yell, and pulled the plug on it, yet again!
    A.n.y.t.i.m.e I tried to do ANYTHING, that crazy &#tc+ was right there...and I swear that I could hear a hyper never-pausing-for-breath 'voice', which seemed to shrill:
                        "Can I do it, huh, huh? Can I open, huh? huh? I wanna do it, I wanna I wanna!!
                         "Prrlleaaase! I just wanna open it!! You know I can!  So can I, huh huh!!"
    So it's *locked-up under my porch crawl space* until....well....until... (0;
    I actually just came on here to say that, during the 3 or so hours that I attempted to reason with that Demento, I was never able to access the iTunes Store, either.
                             "I can't access the iTunes Store.
                              It must be busy, so I'll try again later."
    And while it was trying to convince of that, I managed to get in and out of the iTunes Store, about 3 separate times...and had managed to listen and download about 5 or so pods...but it just kept repeating that same line.
    Like its dose of Lithium had worn off, and now it was just about ready to show me its
    *Alvin the Chipmunk Alter-Persona*...
    But it never got the chance.
    I haven't heard a peep out if since, LOL!
    I figure there's enough to keep me occupied on here...so if doesn't behave itself soon....
    Yeah...you KNOW what I'm talkin' bout, LOL!
    Well, I gots to go now, but you have yourself, a fabulous weekend!
