Firefox 3.6.3 update stalled on my mac OS X, won't resume. How can I get it to finish?

When I select "Resume Downloading Firefox 3.6.3" from the Firefox "Help" drop down menu, the Software Update box appears mid-screen with these messages:
Downloading Update
"Paused downloading Firefox 3.6.3
----- an empty progress bar ---- (and then)
"Connecting to the update server...
But there is no motion anywhere in that box and nothing I have done gets it to move. When I click on the "Details" option, I am immediately redirected to Mozilla's Firefox 3.6 Release Notes page.
So. No updates, reduced functionality, and no apparent way out.

As of Firefox '''4.0''' the minimum was OSX 10.'''5''' until [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/16.0.2/mac/ 16.0.2]. Then as of Firefox '''17.0''' the minimum has been OSX 10.'''6'''+ since. This is for Intel as PPC support was dropped as of Firefox 4.0
Since you have Intel and if you upgrade to at least OSX 10.'''6''' you can then use the current Firefox Releases including Firefox 32.

It stops working for about 2 to 3 min., then either I close the browser or it shuts-down by itself.

I just updated photos on Yosemite and now iPhoto is gone. How can I get it back?

I just updated photos on Yosemite and now iPhoto is gone. How can I get it back?

What were you running before you updated? 10.10.2, or an earlier version of OS X (10.9 or earlier)?
If 10.10.2, then iPhoto should still be on your machine. If not, then go to the App Store, purchased tab, and look for iPhoto, and download it (you'll need iPhoto 9.6.1 to run on Yosemite).
If you never installed iPhoto from the Mac App Store, then you should contact AppleCare, who can probably help you out. That's the only option in this case; upgrading from 10.9 or earlier straight to 10.10.3 is a bad incidence of timing.

Macbook upgraded from 10.5.8 to mountain lion. I lost the update when I tried to restore my old information. How can I get my update back without paying again?

I took my mac to an iStore in South Africa however my country does not have an iStore. Macbook upgraded from 10.5.8 to mountain lion. I lost the update when I tried to restore my old information. How can I get my update back without paying again?

Ok, that sounds like a valid approach...but now the question is, when you say you lost the upgrade when you tried to restore, exactly what do you mean? Restore from a Time Machine backup, or another kind of backup? What happened to the operating system when you did that?
If it damaged the operating system, you should be able to recover it by restarting your computer holding either the Option key (should result in a grey screen that shows the macintosh hard drive and a recovery hard drive), or by holding the Command and R keys while starting.
You can use the recovery hard drive to reinstall Mac OS X either way. If the Option key restart, click on the recovery hard drive to boot from that.
Then with either approach you will have a screen with a drop-down that gives you choices, such as install Mac OS X, Disk Utility, Terminal. You will want to use Install (or Reinstall) Mac OS X...note, you must be connected to the internet from this point on.

Re sync them from iTunes or re-download them from the App store. You will not be charged again if you download them with the same Apple ID used to purchase them originally.

I'm running 3.6.10 on a Vista box and for several days, Firefox has been attempting unsuccessfully to install an upgrade to 3.6.12. How can I get this update to either work or stop trying.

The next time it happens, I'll append the error message, and more details, but essentially after downloading something an alert box appears stating that Firefox cannot complete the update because it can't install the update. No reason given or actually even a name for the update.

Since firefox update, my webpages and desktop is in large font. How can I get it back to normal size?

Since firefox updated my browser is really big, even my desktop, I can't get everything to fit on my monitor and I don't know how to get the font/size smaller. I tried going to the desktop and hitting smaller font but it says that it is at "normal?.

Double tap your screen with three fingers, then zoom out. Go to Settings/General /Accessability and disable the zoom feature.

I need to revert back to Firefox 3.6 The new version is not compatible with my Speedlings program. How can I get a 3.6 copy of Firefox? Thanks! Russ

I originally had Firefox 3.6 and my Speedlings program was working fine with it. Then I updated to 4.0 and Speedlings is not functioning properly. I called Speedlings and they said to use the Firefox 3.6 version and I would be fine.

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
