Firefox 3.6.15 does not load, if automatic upgrade or issues an error message if installed by hand.

I allowed Firefox 3.6.15 to update my existing Firefox (3.6.13). After the upgrade, Firefox does not load (not in Task Manager). I removed it, downloaded and installed it by hand, and I get a 1.9.15 not compatible with 1.9.13 error message. When I reinstall Firefox 3.6.13, it works fine.

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.

  • My mail system does not load image automatically

    my mail system does not load image automatically. how does that happen? what should i do to set the image load configuration?

    Although you can configure Mail to load HTML images automatically, you should think twice about doing it. The sender of the message could determine your email address, your IP address, and when you opened his message. Not what you want if you get spam, as most people do.

  • Trying to update my Itunes software, now it does not want to work at all, givin strange error messages.

    Trying to update my Itunes software, now it does not want to work at all, givin strange error messages.
    First, when trying to sync ipod touch to Itunes, nothing happened. After that, Itunes suggested downloading and installing updates but now updates will not finish installation correctly and launch error messages. Any ideas?
    TKS !

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 800736B3s, or a different error code? If they're different, what codes are you getting in Windows Update?

  • My iTunes is not loading on my computer (PC).  The error message says: MSVCR80.dll was not found

    My iTunes is not loading on my computer (PC).  The error message says: MSVCR80.dll was not found

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Firefox 3.6.13 does not load AOL mail - it logs in ok but does not load

    I can however log into my AOL account and it shows the Welcome message and number of unread mail and also shows the folders etc. including Spam folder but it does not load the eMail or will not allow me to open any eMails.- Just shows blank.
    BTW I can access my AOL mail Box with Internet Explorer.

  • Since updating to Firefox 22 Twitch.tv does not load the player anymore

    I just updated to Firefox 22 and no Twitch.tv's player simply does not load anymore. Just a black rectangle where the player is supposed to be and if I rightclick in that area, I get the same context menu as everywhere else, meaning that the player definitly did not load. Youtube works fine though.

    This gotta be the worst ff upgrade ever, every single thing breaks

  • I have just upgraded to firefox 4, but it does not load up when i press icon

    originally, i upgraded directly frm firefox site and it launched. then after shutting down, it has not loaded up since. i have deleted the old firefox off my laptop and attempted to re-install, but no luck. it still does not load up.
    i have windows 7, and see the spinning wheel (like it is doing something), but nothing happens.

    Just for starters see if you can get Firefox going. Instead of double Left clicking, Right click on Firefox icon>Open.
    If that doesn't work, try opening via Firefox in the Start Menu or Programs List. If that works try creating a new desktop icon.
    Then you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode - Hold down the Shift Key as you double click on the Icon> don't check any of the boxes on the page that appears>Continue. You have now disabled all extensions and also Hardware Acceleration.
    Make sure your plug-ins such as Flash are up-to-date.
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    You should look up "Problematic Extensions"
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions ,
    and try disabling third party toolbars.
    If Firefox works in Safe Mode you have a culprit or conflict. If you are able to, you disable and re-enable extensions progressively until you find the problem. you will need to work your way through this -

  • Firefox 3.6.12 does not load nay images from Joomla sites 1.5.21 and above. Works on Safari but Not Firefox. This happened after the firefox upgrade. All Joomla 1.5.20 and below work ok. why is this happening?

    I have been developing Joomla sites for more than 4 years now and generally all the Joomla sites work well in Firefox. In this case, however, ever since Joomla upgraded to 1.5.21 and above, all Joomla sites on this level are having problems with Firefox 3.6.12 loading images.
    We have tested a number of Joomla template manufactures and all the results are the same.
    This problem is with the macbook pro only thus far. All the other apple products, like the towers, etc. are fine.
    Not sure why this is happening. Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Leland

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • Since the weekend my Firefox 10.0.2 does not load the content of the frames when I connet to Facebook

    I can log in and out of Facebook. The heading at the top of the home page loads, and so does the thin blue frame in which the content should be displayed. The page however stays blank. The same happens if I connect to a friend's profile. I also cannot search of display my profile wall of whatever.
    My very old version of Microsoft Internet Explorer works perfectly, although it displays a warning about being outdated.
    Google's Crome browser have the same problem as Firefox i.e. a blank screen.
    I tried deleting cookies and cach. I tried reïnstalling Firefox. I even removed it completely, with al personal settings and stuff (and thus lost tweaks which I have been using for years) I the reïnstalled it... to no avail. I have tried using an old version (9.0.1) but it also just displays a blank screen.
    If I DISable Javascript in Firefox my Facebook homepage loads, but the none of the buttons (eg "see more" , "display al nn comment" work. "See more" does not do anything and "disply all nn comments" displays a blank page.

    I have found a solution to the problem on a Google Chrome forum where people were discussing the same problem in that browser. If you connect to
    https://www.facebook.com (NOTE THE "S" which indicates a secure connection) Facebook wil display correctly.
    The only problem is that you have to keep pasting the "https" in front of every link you follow. To make it permanent do the following. I paste from the site

    1. Login to your Facebook account in your browser.
    2. Click on the Account on your top-right and select Account Settings from the drop down list.
    3. Click on the Change link in front of the Account Security.
    4. Put a checkmark in the checkbox labeled Browser Facebook on a secure connection (https).
    5. Click on the blue Save button to save the settings.
    Voila! Permanent https (secure browsing) on facebook and no more having to type in the "s" every time. :)

  • Photoshop CS5 does not load with Lion upgrade

    The pop-up note says java runtime is needed but internet connection is not detectable. Diagnostics say internet connections exists. CS5 operated well on Snow Leopard for my intel i-mac. Any ideas why CS5 applications will not load on Lion OS?

    Hi, Have you tried to manually download it from the Apple Support Page?
    If that didn't work, have you tried to download it on another computer and transfer it and install it?
    I've found an KB article from Adobe that lists known issues with Adobe products on Mac OS 10.7 Lion.

  • After Effects does not load after any upgrade.

    Every upgrade causes After Effects to stop loading properly.  It gives error messages.  I have contacted support on this on at least two occasions.  The technician fixed the problem but it recurs with every update, either Adobe or Nvidia updates.  This happens consistently.  It seems to me that a consistent problem is one that can be isolated and fixed, yet this has not happened. 
    Very annoying.
    With hopeful respect,
    Dr. Ken Larsen

    Without system information nobody can even begin to help you. Based on your description you seem to not be installing updates with sufficient user privileges and your system gets stuck on installs that technically never finish or system restore is rolling back files. anyway, as I said, we need a lot more info.

    You mistakenly copied plugins from a previous version of Photoshop.
