Every day I have to re-install firefox

Every day I have to re-install Firefox, the link won't work. So I have to remove Firefox then re-install.
Also Flash Player keeps crashing. I am using Windows Vista 64bit. I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, and Java.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Every time I have tried to install firefox 6.0, it has blue screen crashed my system - can you help?

I am using an old computer but it has dual processors and 4 gb of ram. I am using Windows XP home edition, sp2 atm. I have a Galaxy 200 vid card, sound-blaster X-Fi, Gigabyte mother board. Atm, all I have is IE 6.
After the blue screen crash, I had trouble rebooting my computer. When I was able to reboot, the firefox 6.0 would not run and I could not uninstall it. I did a restore system and was finally able to uninstall it - at the time I still had the 5.0 installer on my desktop so I installed it- I don't have it now.
I tried the firefox 6.0 before I had gotten all the updates for sp3- as I have had trouble getting the last windows updates to install.
I am not a techie - what I have done is trial and error to try to get my software to work. I would either like to get a working version of firefox 6.0 or a safe download of firefox 4.0 as that worked and I had no problems with it.
Can you assist?

Can you attach a screenshot or link to the instructions you are following?
You are on the 3.6 release and Firefox 7.0.1 is out. You can download and install the latest release from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ if you would like to update now. The 3.6 version will be maintained for a while longer, but you should update when you can.

It was working fine and I had no problems, and then one day I tried opening a window and it froze. When I tried quiting the program my whole window went black. The x to the close the window doesn't work. The only option I have in my tool bar is Firefox and nothing happens when I try to quit firefox. Every time I try to shut down my computer Firefox prevents it. I haven't updated Firefox yet, so it's an older program, but only by a month or two. What's going on and how do I fix it?

This is the first time it's ever happened. I downloaded the new operating system for Firefox but I can't install it until the Firefox currently running on my laptop quits, which it won't.

This is almost always a symptom of a phone that was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it.

Have to re-install Firefox over and over again

Have been using Firefox just fine for past few years. Apparently there was some change, not sure what but Firefox crashed. I could not get it to re-open no matter what. I un-installed and re-installed. I could then open Firefox and use it again. However once I closed Firefox, I could not re-open it again. I got the same crash message. "Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts." Only it never restarts. I have to un-install it, then re-install it. Each time it works the initial first time and then crashes when I try to open it again. Vista SP2 32bit OS.

Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums and double-space between the ID's as you paste each one to make the result more readable.
Thanks in advance!

I have updated and installed Firefox, but it still says I am not on most recent version

Hi
Am experiencing slight issue on firefox. I downloaded and installed Firefox 8
When i open fireox it says i am not running most recent version. this happenend last upgrade too.
Any ideas?
Cheers

1 - do not put your iPhoto library on the same volume as the time machine backup - TM continues to grow its backup until it fills that volume at which point you will not be able to use the iPhoto library (which may be your problem now) - and you have no backup since TM can not back up anyting that is on its backup volume - and it if cound when the drive fails which it will someday you would lose everything anyway - you must have a second external hard drive right away
2 - How much free disk space do you have on your main drive?

My hardrive is going out.I will have to re-install firefox will my bookmarks still be there?

I want toa know if I will lose my firefox bookmarks if my computer crashes and I fix it and re-install firefox. If I will,how di I back that information up?

You need to backup either just your bookmarks or the profile folder to external media such as a USB flash drive if you want to save more than the bookmarks.

Weather page stuck on initial date from the first time I opened it. Will not update. Have deleted history, cookies. Comics do not update either, still stuck on the original day I opened them after installing Firefox. Help Please

Have updated all plug-ins and add-on. Not sure if this is related or not, when I tried to use "live chat" that link would not work.

If you are using bookmarks to open the sites then make sure that you do not use bookmarks that have GET data appended (?xxx=xxx) to specify a specific page.
* "Clear the Cache": Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlitecookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Popup blocker keeps losing my "exceptions" to websites. every day I have to go back in and enter the exceptions. This has only happened with the last two Firefox versions.

I go to "tools" then popup blocker "exceptions". (I have the block popups checked.) When I enter "www.paypal.com" and add it in, everything is OK for about 12 hours (or less). I will check to see if the exception is still there within 12 hours and there is nothing in my exceptions. I have added as many as three exceptions entered only to have them all disappear within a few hours.
This severely cramps my attempt to print shipping labels on the PayPal website.
I thought this latest version of Firefox cured the issue, but it did not.

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" in "Clear Recent History" will remove exceptions that are stored in content-prefs.sqlite (site specific settings for zoom) and permissions.sqlite (exceptions for images, cookies, pop-ups, software; Tools > Page Info > Permissions) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder].
The password exceptions (Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Show Passwords) are also removed from signons.sqlite.

I have to re-install Firefox everyday, when I click on the desktop icon, it does not open.

When i double click the desktop icon Firefox to open it, nothing happens. I have to install the program from the setup file again. This happens everyday, it used to only happen maybe once every 2-3 months, now it's all the time. Any advice?

Every day I have to sign in

I have tried all the various fixes on the discussion boards, deleted opm.db, oh, about 50 times.
Yet, every single morning, I am greeted with this welcoming screen:
I would be happy now if it just stored my Adobe ID so I just needed to enter my password.
Someone wake me up when this complex problem is fixed, please.
Cheers

Seems to be getting worse..... now I have to sign in twice! Seems like one part of the software not talking to the other half.
Hope one day the system doesn't suddenly decide I am not licensed and stop me using the software, that would be unfortunate...........
Wonder if the people who crack software could help out the people who actually pay for the software.....
OMG, maybe I jinxed the whole theing by my previous comment. Signed in twice, and Photoshop now says I am using a trial.....hmmm which button do I press, License....Join.....Shall I press Start Trial just for s#its and giggles!

I have problem with installing firefox

appears pop up window that contains the message: you may not have The Necessary permissions to use all the features the program you are about to run. you may run this program as a different user or continue to run the program as the current user.
pls help thanks s much

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

Lost my masterpassword, I have uninstalled and installed Firefox, but when I reinstall it remembers my settings (including master password), what can I do?

I have tried installing and reinstalling the browser but it does not work.
What do I need to do in order to install as new and so I can set up my new master password or recoup my old one?

hello lmoncada, for instructions please refer to [[Reset your Master Password if you've forgotten it]]
