If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins then such a message is likely a scam and you should never respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
*Only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
*Plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • Every time I start Fire fox an error appears that reads UNABLE TO CONNECT. I believe I accidently hit BLOCK rather then ALLOW. How to I reverse my mistake?

    Every time I start Fire fox an error appears that reads......
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.yahoo.com.
    * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • Why does the plug-in checker pop up every time I open fire fox?

    Since yesterday every time I open fire fox the mozilla plug-in checker loads in a tab (in addition to my set home page) . How do I disable this?

    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.''
    Pref = '''plugins.update.notifyUser''' if it shows as True, double-click that pref to toggle it to '''False'''
    ''That pref was new to the Firefox 3.6 version and is present in later versions.''

  • Updated Fire Fox and now have an annoying horozontal black line across my screen!! Why does Fire

    I updated Fire Fox to be landed with an annoying horozontal black strip across my screen. This has happened on a previous update but was fixed by disabling plugins however not this time. I think I may need to drop Fire Fox as this happens on every Fire Fox update!!!!

    A toolbar like the "ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" and other toolbars like "Ask.com" or "My Web Search" can cause this issue.

  • Every time I update LR to a new version I seem to need a patch to make it work..... once again here I am SOS! I've just update LR to the 5.7 version and It wont let me start it: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

    Every time I update LR to a new version I seem to need a patch to make it work..... once again here I am SOS! I've just update LR to the 5.7 version and It wont let me start it: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

    Your system is missing a couple DLLs that LR needs, but the fix at Adobe is to copy them to the LR folder which gets replaced for each install, so you have to redo it after each LR install.  It would be worth documenting the process and saving the DLLs so you don’t have to ask about it each time:

    You might also use the AIO210 program to add them as detailed in this YouTube video—maybe this is a more permanent fix, but since the files are from media-fire be very careful about what you do so as not to install a virus on your computer. 
    I’d scan the downloaded ZIP you download with whatever virus and internet security software you have and don’t be fooled by extraneous popups you might see during the download process.  I was able to download the aio210.zip after authorizing one Captcha window and closed at least one bogus popup trying to get me to install other software.  I also scanned the downloaded zip with two virus scanners and both said it was clean.  Here is the YouTube video, where the link to the ZIP to download is in the description once you expand it:

  • How can my ex on a separate plan with a separate apple id receive my iMessages every time an update or phone change happens?

    Every time an update happens or we change phones my ex's iPhone and mine get linked somehow and he receives my messages. If we are no longer using the same apple id and are on separate phone plans how can this be happening? I have changed my password but this keeps happening. We do not share a computer for it to be iTunes? I have called and got it fixed, but it happens repeatedly anyway...any ideas?

    Once our information was appearing under each other's iMessages so we went to the apple store and called the phone service and they said it was fixed, but it happened again. Their information is no longer under my iMessage; however, they are receiving my iMessages with every update and I am not able to know if my information is showing under theirs. Also I deleted every device on find my iPhone except my own.

  • Every time I update Firefox I can't get back on the internet. I have to uninstall and go back to an old Firefox.

    I have an old Firefox. Every time I update to a new version, I can't get back on the internet. It tells me it can't find the server. So I have to uninstall the updated version and go back to my old version.

    Check your firewall settings.

  • Preferences are not saving. Each time I start Fire Fox it acts as if it is my first time starting the program.

    Each time I open Fire Fox, it acts as if it is the first time I'm opening the program. The 'Welcome to Fire Fox' first-run page always shows up when I open the program.
    None of my preferences, like the custom themes, save - however my bookmarks, which I chose to have transferred over from my previous Fire Fox, seem to be saving.
    I have version 5.01
    Also, I tried all of the steps from this help page: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved?s=settings+don%27t+save+after+firefox+is+closed&as=s
    However, I am unable to delete or make changes (such as renaming) the ''Prefs'' file because it keeps telling me that the file is open. However, when ever I go to my task manager there is nothing under the name or description of Fire Fox running. So I can't figure out how to close this file that is supposedly still open.

    Which security software (firewall, Anti-virus software) do you have?
    Make sure that it isn't locking the .js file(s) in the Firefox Profile Folder

  • I updated Fire Fox to 5.0 and now my get mail button is gone. How do I get it back?

    I updated fire fox to 5.0 now my get mail button is gone.
    how do i get it back?
    the extension that gave it to me is not compatible with FF 5.o.
    where do i go to find a get mail extension that is?

    Install the new version of GetMail. <br />
    http://webdesigns.ms11.net/getmail.html
    That extension isn't hosted an AMO, which makes it a lot harder (and more expensive) for the developer of that extension to provide automatic updates for that extension.
    ''"beer" fund donations probably wouldn't cover the costs for secure HTTPS web host costs, which would make automatic updates possible, IMO''

  • MSE Creates A Restore Point Every Time It Updates

    MSE creates a redundant restore point every time it updates.
    Is there any way to stop this from happening without
    disabling the system from creating restore points entirely?
    Thanks.

    Thanks.
    The HD is 500GB. I think by default 2% or 10GB is reserved for restore points. Once the limit is reached the restore points are overwritten - last in, first out. I have a preferred restore point established that I'd like to be preserved.
    My concern is the way in which Windows Update is used to update MSE definitions. Everytime (daily) MSE AV definitions are D/L it creates another restore point. Eventually it will overwrite the restore point I established. I guess I can always remove the restore points MSE creates using CCleaner or use a different AV program but it's something that should have been addressed by MS. They should have provided users with the option of not having MSE create restore points. I know I can always turn the feature off altogether and create restore points manually but there are times when having a restore point created automatically can come in handy - like when installing a program for example.
    Aside from this issue I've also noticed other little annoyances throughout the Windows 7 / 64bit - Home Premium OS.
    I'm sure I'll discover more annoyances with this OS over time.

  • Every time I update Firefox, my settingfor yahoo is not recognized. Why?

    At the top of my screen I have settings for yahoo, amazon, news,etc.
    If I click on the one for yahoo, Firefox says UNRECOGNIZED.
    This happens every time I update Firefox. From three past updates and before FIREFOX did not do that.

    Hi earlten
    This is a '''Community-Driven''' Support Web Site for Firefox.
    The community are volunteers; just ordinary users like yourself who use the Firefox browser and try to offer other users free support. Please remember this and moderate your language to show some respect. I know you are frustrated, but venting this on people who do their best to help others in their free time is not likely to be well received.
    Please just state clearly the problem you are having and other users will see if they can help you.

  • Every time I update firefox it will only run updater.exe when I try to restart

    every time I update firefox it will only run updater.exe when I select firefox to run. The only way around this that I have found so far is to do a fresh install of firefox.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

  • IPod messes up every time I update.

    Hey all. I have an iPod touch 3rd Generation. I just updated it yesterday to the new iOS. When I updated it gave me an error message saying (usually 9 or 37) and told me I'd have to restore my iPod. I had to restore it on a totally different computer...because it won't restore on my laptop. It has no problems restoring on the other computer, then I add all my stuff (apps/music/videos, etc) back on from my laptop. I have this issue every time I update my iPod. Am I the only one out there with this problem??

    Sounds like some kind of conflict.
    Next time, try turning off any anti-virus or spyware software. Also, try plugging it into a different USB port - and don't use a hub. Be sure you are using a 2.0 USB cable.
    Maybe that will solve your problem.
