Everytime I open Firefox it asks me to download a new version and install new plugins.

I do this and yet when I turn my computer on the next day, it asks me to do it again. Also clicking on Update the plug in produces a Adobe Security Bulletin webpage but it's just a black page. Also, everytime I sign in to Yahoo mail, it asks me to install the Yahoo Mozilla add-on, even though I've installed it everyday for the last few days. Thanks.

hello, could you go to the
*firefox ''menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > help [[Image:Help-29]] > troubleshooting information'',
copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on...

When I open iTunes, it asks me to download the latest version. When I click on "download now", nothing happens. If I download directly from the iTunes website, do I need to do anything first? Like deleting something?

In the normal course of events, you can update by just running the iTunesSetup.exe. No special precautions need to be taken (beyond those you usually take with an update, or just in general, like maintaining a current backup).

I keep receiving FireFox Plugin update notice everytime I open Firefox, when I update, it does not acknowledge it and keeps loading me the update notice everytime I open Firefox. HOW DO I STOP THIS?

I'm having no problems with my plugins, I'm having problems with the NOTICE of plugin updates opening before my desired webpage does. How do I stop this?

If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Do a clean (re-)install:
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* 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.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I have a Max OS X. I have tried over and over to download the latest version of Firefox without success. When I open Firefox it props me to download the lastest version. Why is this not downloading? nruddell@primus.ca

Why can I not download the latest version of firefox onto my Max?

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 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.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 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

I can not open my doc in pages it keeps asking me to download the lates version and when i go to apple store it is saying already installed, help please?

I can not open pages it keeps telling me to download the lates verison, does anyone know where that is?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Everytime I open Firefox 5, a window pops up that says,"TypeError: Components.classes[cid_siterank] is undefined,"with an ok button on it. I want this box to disappear.

Everytime I open Mozilla Firefox 5 Beta, a window pops up that says, "TypeError: Components.classes[cid_siterank] is undefined," with an "ok" button, after I click ok, it opens firefox, how do I stop this window from appearing everytime I open firefox? It never did this with previous versions of firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Since upgrading to Firefox 5, I can no longer browse for attachments in AOL Webmail, and every time I open Firefox, it asks me if Mozilla can make changes to my hard drive. I've gone back to Internet Explorer.

I upgraded to the latest version of Mozilla Firefox and ever since then, every time I open Firefox it asks me if I want to allow Mozilla to make changes to my hard drive. I have to answer "Yes" or else it won't open Firefox. Then when I open my AOL Webmail and try to browse for an attachment, it freezes up the browser window and I have to open the Task Manager to close Firefox. I have now gone back to Internet Explorer which does not have either one of these problems.

Maybe just corrupted Disk Utility preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DiskUtility.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.DiskUtility.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac then try creating a .dmg file.

Keeps coming up with "What's New" page everytime I open Firefox.

Everytime I open Firefox (5) it keeps checking whether my add-ons would work with it and then opens the "What's New" page. It's starting to get really irritating.
Is there a way to stop it from doing this?

I suspect a bad add-on. Since add-ons often are installed externally to Firefox, I suggest starting here:
Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Finally, you can "mop up" remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools suggested in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Does that clear it up?

Everytime I open Firefox I get a page from Video Download Helper. How do I get rid of this page once and for all?

Since two days, everytime I open firefox an extra tab opens up from Download Helper.
I close it everytime, but it's getting annoying.
I've tried the Extra - Options screen, I've tried the Help with Firefox screen , I can't seem to find a solution.
Please help me get rid of it before I might toss my screen out the window in a few days...

Did you check for problems with the file prefs.js in the Firefox Profile Folder and rename or delete the file?
Windows may be hiding the .js file extension, so check the Properties via the right-click context menu to be sure.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

When I update some of my addons, everytime I open firefox information about update is in new tabs, even "welcome to firefox" is always there in new tab! It's very annoying!

Question
When I update some of my addons, everytime I open firefox information about update is in new tabs, even "welcome to firefox" is always there in new tab! It's very annoying!

Ok I found a solution that worked for me, I simply dragged the user.js and the user.js.BAK to the desktop, before that I had done the same with the prefs.js and prefs.js.BAK, but that didn't help, so it's apparently the user file that was an error with.
It was the link from cor-el that helped me on the way http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
It's at the bottom titled User.js file locks certain preferences.
This article can also help https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved
It have still not made a new user.js file, but everything runs fine, hope this can help others to.

How can I unsave tabs that open everytime I open Firefox?

Everytime I open Firefox 6 tabs open which are tabs I've had in the past but are no longer valid. I'm not sure why they're saved, but I want to unsave them so that I have a clean slate everytime I open the browser.

Do you have those tabs set as the Home pages?
