Firefox 5.0 downlaoded and is telling me I'm not done yet.

I've downloaded Firefox 5.0 three times now and every time it tells me "Thanks for downloading Firefox, but this version is out of date. For the latest security, performance and feature enhancements we strongly recommend that you get the newest version instead". I'm just a little bit perturbed at this point. Your help kept me going in circles.
What do I need to do to correct this problem. I'm running Windows 7 and have NEVER had a problem downloading updates of Firefox before. Firefox 4.0 downloaded and installed just fine.

Hi marsano,
Usually the only reason it will ask you to reboot is if there is a file that must be modified that the updater doesn't currently have access to. You should try running the Firefox program once as Administrator:
* Right-click the icon and choose ''Run as Administrator''
If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
# Download a fresh copy of Firefox from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/fx/ Mozilla download page] and save the file to the desktop.
# [[Uninstalling Firefox|Uninstall]] your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before running the new installer.
# Run installer
Remember that you don't want to remove personal data when uninstalling. That way you'll still have your personal information.
Hopefully this helps!

Neither google or firefox will recognise that firefox 7 is installed and keep telling me to install it, what can i do?

google tells me I have an old unsupported browser - I don't - I have firefox 7.0.1. Google does not recognise browser and directs me to firefox download - download and install - same problem.
Firefox tells me the same thing

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by addon that you installed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent
type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Filter = general.useragent.
Right-click the preferences that are bold, one line at a time, and select Reset.
Then restart Firefox

When told Firefox is already running and needs to be closed but not on screen, how do I get into it to close it?

Firefox was closed when used last as far as I know. Many times I try to go back to go on line and a box comes up to tell me Firefox is already in use and I must close it before opening it again. The only way I have found to go back on line is to reboot me computer.

Make sure that you do not start Firefox with the -no-remote switch or have set the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 (Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables).
If you need to have more than one profile open at the same time then start subsequent instances with the -no-remote command line switch. 
You can send links from other programs to a Firefox instance that is started with -no-remote, you need to drag links in a Firefox window in such cases.

After a travel abroad I have forgotten to activate wifi, and I have got the message telling that I have not done any backups for 2 weeks on my iPad. It is impossible to get rid of this message and do the correcting actions. pls help

The message stays on the iPad screen no matter how many times I push the OK-button.
Any ideas how to get through this problem?

Some sites I pull up in firefox load very small and almost unreadable. I have not had any problem in the past with these exact sites.

The sites I pull up seem to be half the size of normal. It normally has only been one site, but now it is happening to another site that I use frequently.

I am trying to upgrade my iphone 4 and it has taken 10 hours and it is not done yet. What shall I do?

I am trying to upgrade my iphone 4 with the new information. The device is still downloading on the itunes page after 10 hours. What shall I do? Will unplugging it lost my information? Help!

Doing the same. Progress bar not moving at all, but it does show 3 hours remaining instead of the 4 hours it did a couple of minutes ago. Go to summary. does it say "iTunes is currently downloading software for the iPhone" ?
My phone went on and it still says phone disabled with the added little gem of my sim now also being locked.

rgds,

I am running the TestStand 3.0 Full-Featured CVI operator Interface. This is a user modified version (perhaps something I've done has exaserbated the inherent problem).
After Loading a sequence file, run it once.
Click on the List Bar to switch back to the sequence view.
Click on the Test UUT button -- it flickers, but nothing happens.
The user waits, wondering when his test will run.
Click on the Test UUT button a second time -- this time the enter serial number box appears and the run proceeds.
Click somewhere else on the panel, perhaps using a custom feature or in response to a step generated popup.
The sequence stops at a breakpoint.
Click on the Resume button or the Terminate button-- it flickers, but nothing happens.
Click on the Resume button a second time and the sequence proceeds.

On Android 4.2.2 on a Nexus7 tablet - No Firefox button and most text entry fields do not work at all

I installed Firefox 19.0.2 and appears to be ok, but I don't see a Firefox button anywhere, so I cannot access any of the functions that it controls, such as bookmarks, which is why I installed it!
The ASUS Nexus 7 tablet shows up as a supported platform.
I set it as the default link browser, but quickly realized that I could not enter text into any data entry fields, so I reset the default back to Chrome, which works fine for that.
I installed Firefox because bookmarks in Chrome are very lame, but I can't use bookmarks at all in Firefox, so again Chrome wins.
Any suggestions, before I uninstall it?

I am now a Democrat supporter. dccc.org does accept text input from my mobile.
The forum problem I mentioned earlier is apparently a known issue but only affecting legacy phones.

Stop Firefox from telling you, you have not used it in a while and asking to reset it permanetly.

I need to permanently, FOREVER, stop Firefox from telling me I have not used it in a while and prompting me to reset it. I have 100s of PCs that are frozen and as far as Firefox is concerned they ARE ALWAYS in need of being reset. This must go away. When Firefox starts on these PCs it MUST NEVER ask a question or prompt the user for anything EVER. All the decisions have already been made for the user and that MUST NOT CHANGE.

Thanks for the reply. I have heard that about the file, but I need to know how to tell Firefox that I don't care about when it was last used etc. I can delete the file, but it will come back. So the real answer I need is how to tell Firefox "not to check" when it was last used in the first place, not what file contains that information.
For now I will delete the file then, without starting Firefox I will freeze it and hope that will work. But Firefox needs a way that I can just tell it to not care.
Thanks again for help,
Ralph

Liar Firefox: I have download and install Acrobat Reader 11.0.0 few minutes ago and Firefox still telling lies that Acrobat has in not current version.

Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Let us know how that works for you.

How do I block an ad that opens up a new Firefox window and keeps telling me my system performance is poor? I can't even capture the link.

This particular ad, supposedly from a Windows Certified Partner, opens in a second Firefox window and keeps flashing the message that my System Performance is Poor, wanting me to click on their ad and let them do whatever nasty things they want to my system. I have not been able to capture the path but next time it comes up, I will write down all that I can see.
If I have closed my main Firefox screen first, and then close out this ad, the next time I open Firefox, the ad opens and all my standard tabs are gone, requiring me to reopen each one seperately (Facebook, Google, etc).

Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually 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.
Any improvement?
Here are some other things to check:
(1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
(3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
(4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Hopefully that cures it.

Why does my firefox keep shutting down and telling me it has a problem?

This started about a week ago. It has occurred two to three times a day in the last three days. It is very annoying because it happens in the middle of movies, facebook posting... I sent several reports, but nothing has changed.
