Firefox 29 . Will auto update work ok without reporting missing files ?

I am getting ready to switch from IE to Chrome or Firefox. I have read numerous complaints about the Auto Update feature on Firefox. Below is a copy of one of them. How common is this problem?

Firefox has almost 1/2 billion users. Chances are there are many people will post about a problem even if it only affects a small minority or is fixed.
Possibly you are asking about the Rapid Release Cycle. I think most would agree it initially caused problems mainly with incompatible addons. That problem is largely resolved now. Corporate users deploying Firefox may also have had issues but now have the option of using a different release channel of Firefox.
Your article was apparently not attached, maybe you could provide a link to it. I would point out that discussion of Development issues is normally considered off topic on this forum. I will edit the title from
* Is there a problem with missing files with FF auto updates?
to
* Firefox 29 . Will auto update work ok without reporting missing files ?
That way the question is current and we actually expect developers to be around this week answering questions about Firefox 29.

When are you going to make GOOGLE TOOLBAR compatible with the latest version of firefox, i will not update to version 8 until its compatible

Question
When are you going to make GOOGLE TOOLBAR compatible with the latest version of firefox, i will not update to version 8 until its compatible

It's not going to happen. Google announced withdrawal of their Google Toolbar.
Using Google Toolbar features without toolbars - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
:http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Google_Toolbar_features_without_toolbars
The Google Toolbar will not be updated for Firefox 5 or later Firefox versions. ([http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html reference]) Google finally decided that their [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions problematic extension] is beyond repair for the little benefit added for Firefox users. Google as with other browsers is eliminating or making toolbars less accessible.
Consider the features that you are using and see if you can match up features from the list created by Google and by Firefox users.

When firefox trys to auto update, or I manually download the new version, or some but not all downloads off of the web, I get this error message. C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

First off, when firefox trys to auto update, it fails. It tells me to try and download the new version from mozilla's site. When I try to download the new version I get this: (C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.)
This is the same message I have been getting when I try to download other things off the net. (When I use other browsers to download I dont have this problem)

Please help.
It is getting worse
Adobe flash player is crashing. I already uninstalled and re installed the latest ver. Also it is hanging randomly.
Please help.

HT4459 Will this update work on my computer if I have Mac OS X 10.5.8?

I currently have a MacBook Pro running on Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I would like to update to 10.6 or above. Will this update work for my computer or is there other software I need to download first?

You need to install Mac OS X 10.6 from a DVD first. The online Apple Store sells them.

Shockwave 11 will auto update not work right for me

I can't get shockwave's auto update feature enabled
Here is what I have at the moment:

Shockwave Player support FAQ
You will be better off posting in the Macromedia Shockwave Player Forums.

How do I roll-back to the previous version of Firefox? An auto update occurred and now one of the programs used at the office (ACT! v6.0 SwiftMail) won't run with the browser.

The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
HELP!

Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

How do I set the default in Firefox to NOT auto update?

I am being asked to create an installer for Firefox that sets the default to NOT auto update. We have Standard users who cannot load software, so do not want them to be prompted. WE want to control when programs get updated, so need to set the default in Firefox to not prompt to update anything. How do I do this? What file can I change?

I've tried that, and then created my installer, but it defaults back to having auto update checked, or in the ON position. I want it to default to being OFF so any new installs or upgrades that I send out do not turn it back on.
We manage all computers here, and do not want users doing any updates.

Update never completes - always "connecting to update server" I can do manual update but why doesn't auto-update work?

I have this same problem with three machines (all linux - different versions of linux & firefox). Yes, I could do a manual update. But, I would like to get the issue with auto-update sorted out. I have a common network setup: private IP (192.168.15.xxx) on a router connected to COMCAST. There is a firewall but no proxy.

Thanks cor-el! Your question about how it was installed was spot on. It was installed as root (I always do that for an app like Firefox so that it is available to all users. That is also the default when installing apps with yum or other package managers). The solution is to run firefox as root (''kdesu firefox'') so that it has access to the installation folder for writing. I selected Help -> about firefox and it updated right away.
The error for the mozilla people is in not detecting and either handling (asking for root privileges) or reporting the problem instead of hanging up in an infinite loop.
Thank you.

Why VTP will auto update when I not configured it?

That is one Cisco 4950 switch configured with VTP domain, but when I connect with new CIsco switch with the network, the new switch will learn VTP from the 4950 switch. The question here, I not configured any domain or VTP password on the new switch but why will still update the VTP from the 2950 switch?
The problem will coz my network congested when VTP kept on broadcasting?

You are right, the port using trunk. Even I change to transparent mode but the VTP will still update.
I can only change to all switches with different domain name or else my network will congested due to VTP broadcasting.
Note: All Cisco floor switches will connected back to main Nortel core switch with trunk mode, but only one Cisco floor switch with VTP configured but when connect this VTP switch 2950 to the network, all the floor switches will learn the VTP automatic, but those floor switches not even configured any VTP domain and password.

Re-install 10.4.7 update if installed version with missing files?

I notice that this forum mentions that Apple will correct their faulty Intel 10.4.7 update with a new release.
http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=1852
A version with SHA1 checksum matching the description of the new release is show on:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1047intel.html
I upgraded my MacMini Core Duo on 6/29. Should I download and re-install this update? Wait for Apple to come out with a patch? Anyone done this?
How can I determine if I have the install with the missing files?
Thanks!

Looks like the new release came out June 27, 2006. You could always reapply the combo update. It won't hurt.

Dropped 3gs into lake for 2 hours. Found and put in rice for sev. days. Will come on when connected to power, but not pc. Goes out after min. or so. Will it likely work again without service or am I dreaming?

As mentioned above, I dropped my Iphone 3gs into lake and it took me about two hours to fish it out. I put it in a jar of rice for over a week. It will now come on only if I plug it into the electrical oulet. It will not come on using the usb connection on the pc. It also cuts out after a short time - usually about a minute or so. Will this phone likely work correctly again without major service or should I just forget it? I have aready bought a replacement to use, but I hate to just toss it if it may work again. Also, is there anything else I can do short of taking it in to the Apple store? I suspect the cost of service will not be justified.

You are welcome. There are always suggestions of things to try, but in the end you just get frustrated and end up taking it in anyway...save yourself the trouble and visit the Apple store genius bar.

How does auto update work in AIR 2.5?

Hi,
We are about to deploy Adobe AIR Runtime 2.5 in our organization.
To do this we use the following command line
AdobeAIRInstaller.exe -silent -eulaAccepted
This works great. But I am not sure how to disable the automatic updates.
When reading the Adobe AIR configuration guide, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/admin/WS485a42d56cd1964167ea49bd124ef17d52a-7ff5.html it says I should create the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\AIR\UpdateDisabled and set it to 1.
But when I run the AIR SettingsManager application after I set this registry key it says that automatic updates are enabled.
And if I choose to disable automatic updates from the tool it creates the file %APPDATA%\Adobe\AIR\updateDisabled.
How can I make sure that automatic updates are disabled for all users on all the computers we deploy Adobe AIR Runtime 2.5 to?
Since we are doing an enterprise deployment it is not really an option to ask each and every user to run AIR SettingsManager every time they logon to a new computer
Regards Erik

Thanks Chris!
Made my day a lot easier
