Extenstion update window keeps popping up; I have loaded latest version of Firefox as prompted to no avail
extension update window keeps popping up when I am in Outlook email environment; I have loaded latest version of Firefox as prompted to no avail
If there are 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 disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 8.0.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 if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

On the opening page of Firefox, I am constantly reminded (and sometimes warned) that I do not have the latest version of Firefox. Yet, when I click for upgrade, I start getting a download of the same version 8.0.1 which I am already running.
This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained.
Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same. -
Firefox constantly kicks us off of our verizon email unexpectantly and inconsistently. We have downloaded latest version of Firefox, 3.6, and the problem is still there

I have the latest version of Firefox. How do I clear my personal info and then clear the cache?
I have the latest version of Firefox. It is: Firefox/3.6.13 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729).
I got a page that said I needed to clear my personal information, then clear my cache. It said I could do that in the "tools" menu. The "tools" menu has no such option.
Thanks for any help you can give me.Thats' all well and good, but FIREFOX crashes when I click on those links. I'm not doing it again. Heck with it.
Am going to TRY and get my old version of FIREFOX back.
If it were not THIS problem, I'm sure I'd be having another problem because I've had nothing BUT problems since I "updated" my browser, the way my neighbor says you are supposed to.
Thanks anyway, caldwell418 -
I have the latest version of Firefox yet I am still getting an error message that says photoshop is no longer supported on my platfrom and thereofre it's not downloading.
Please give a bit more system details. Which OS and version are you on? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit. Try downloading the Creative Cloud App if not already installed from: https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud. You can choose to install PS from withing this app and need not rely on web page.

Firefox can't read any Bookmark on my Mac that was imported from my PC with file extension .url. Safari reads them all fine. Is there a fix, so I can use Firefox instead of Safari? Many thanks if so. I have the latest version of Firefox

I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

Update to iOS 4 states "You have the latest version of iTunes"
When syncing my iTouch 2nd Gen 16GB via iTunes, the Summary page tells me to click Update to instal iOS 4, but when clicking on Update I only get a message telling me that I have the latest version of iTunes... which I know already!
However, having scanned the discussions on iSO 4, I get the impression that it is causing more problems than benefits, so it may be better to wait until the kinks are sorted, especially for the more mature status of the venerable 2nd Gen???
If not, how do I get Update to actually update to iOS 4, please?Yes, it was very early Sorry to keep you waiting.
Okay, so on your summary page, there is a button "Check for Update". If it is not visible, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes i.e *iTunes 9.2.1.5*
Go to the Apple Software Update in the Windows Start Menu or in the Macintosh Finder in 'Applications'.
Yes, there are some problems with iOS4 and 2nd Gen iPod Touch, as the processor is not fully compatible with the software and operation becomes a little slower and often, customers and owners of 2nd Gen complain that their device CAN handle the features that iOS4 offers the newer generation of iPod, but are not able to, hence why they turn to jailbreaking to enable such features. -
I have the latest version of Firefox (8.01), yet it still tells me I am using an old version.
I have installed Firefox 8.01 (latest currently), yet on my start-up page, it is still saying "You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web! " What gives?

When I try to open google plus I get a message that say my browser no longer supports google plus. I'm then asked to download the latest version of firefox. But I already use firefox 5.o.1. I've download it and installed but the same thing happens again and again. I have no problem using any other google function, and I can open google plus in Internet Explorer. That's all the information that I have.

To send photos I need the 'attach files more easily' facility in my Yahoo email. After I recently upgraded my broadband so that I now get 37mb speed, Firefox (and Internet Explorer) started to 'not respond' so I un-installed it then re-installed it. I got the latest version of Firefox and now I can't get the facility back again. Have you got any suggestions? Yahoo have not been able to help.
I could only find this link, hoping it will work:

Check and tell if its working. -
I keep downloading and installing latest version (8) of Firefox. The browser states I have Firefox 8. However, on Google Mail and some other websites I get a message stating I am running an out of date unsupported version of Firefox.

HenrikYou have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2.2 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 over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
You can add the icon of the missing Pages on your Dock or open Pages from the Apple menu > Recent Items list.
Or you can archive Pages 5 so that it doesn't automatically open.
If you are unhappy about this review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store.

I usually upgrade Firefox within a couple of days when the new version is issued. Nevertheless, I can't seem to get it right. Although when I check "About Firefox" tab in the Help menu it says that my version is 9.0.1 (i.e. the latest version available) - still on the Firefox Update page I always get this annoying msg:
"''Hey there! Looks like you’re using an old version of Firefox.
Don’t miss out on the latest technology & security features.
Get the free upgrade in less than a minute.''" And, I see that your "educated guess" about my browser recognises it as a 3.5.5 version (far being it from the truth!).
I don't believe that the fact that I'm still using Windows XP should have anything to do with this problem, but fyi - my OS is Win XP SP3, regularly updated and upgraded.
Also, even though I live in Croatia, I prefer my Firefox (and other programs) in English, so I use UK version of Firefox.
I do have some problems updating MS .Net Framework - could this be the issue with Firefox too?
Anyway, I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, even tried installing Croatian version - nothing helped.
As a result of this, I also have a problem with Gmail - I can only use standard, basic HTML view. Also annoying as hell.
Btw, as for "Installed plugins" - I'm not sure which of those are right, but I do not have Netscape installed, and never had one on this computer. I even ran the search for term "Netscape" and it came out empty.
There, I think I've provided as much information as I could think of - so, please help me to sort this out - if you can.
Thankssee also these pages and threads about Fast Browser Search (FBSMTWB in the user agent).
