Firefox constantly asks me to update as I am using an old version, however after I update it still tells me that I need to update WHY?
I was asked to update my version of Firefox a few weeks ago when I opened my Google email account. This I did and downloaded Firefox version 7.01 and installed it. As soon as I reopened my Google account, it told me again that I need to download the recent version of Firefox, which I did again, thinking that there was a more recent version, but once again there was Firefox 7.01. This I have done 3 times now and still my laptop and Google main tells me to download the most recent version, what do I have to do to stop this ridiculous scenario?

problem with updated find my iPhone (FMi) app: when I attempt to open the FMi app, it tells me that I need to be a registered developer and run iOS7 to do so; is anyone else having this problem? I got the app as a regular update to my existing FMi app which worked great.
The problem is being reported in the news media, yes. Apparently someone at Apple jumped the gun and uploaded the update before it was ready. They'll probably issue another update shortly, I would expect, but you can go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. If you have a backup copy of the older version of the app, remove the newer version, restore the old version to iTunes on your computer, and resync.
Update: Well, that was certainly quick. As of a short time ago, various sites are reporting that the Find My iPhone app is no longer displaying the previous error message. If it still is for you, delete it from your iPhone and re-download from the iTunes Store.

I'm not sure why it's not allowing me to open a document that I saved less than 24 hours ago because Pages "needs an update". I open App Store and it doesn't give me an option to update; I assume that it's current. Any suggestions?
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 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 almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

I cannot find a way to download a version of the update that is actually an installer rather than a word file. I am running a mac, os x 10
The file should end with .dmg, which normally is a system extension not associated with Microsoft Word. Is Firefox changing the name??
Since the same plugin is used by both Safari and Firefox, have you tried downloading with Safari? -
I've tried updating Firefox several times, and I just completely uninstalled it, then installed it again.

Firefox is asking me what program I want to use to open firefox. It has never done this before.
Several days ago an XP internet Security 2012 invaded my computer. It would not let me do anything except sign up for a $60 program. It did allow me to send a message to its support stall. But of course I could not get to my email to read their answer. Yesterday I went to safe mode Firefox and that allowed me to get to my email. The message from XP internet security apologized and suggested that I set the date on my computer 6 days ahead and that would remove their program. So I did and their program is gone. But now whenever I want to use firefox it asks me what program I want to use, I select Firefox and the site opens. Also I can not change to date back to normal. When I go to the control panel and click on date and time, it says application not found and does the same thing for most everything else in the control panel.
'''''XP internet Security 2012''''' is malware masquerading as anti-malware.

I really do not know what details you want. When I press on the icon to open Firefox, it opens and Google appears. I go to my bookmarks to my purchasing file. There I click on my bookmarked "Quality Paperbacks" site. I get a big colorful page with a statement that I need to update Firefox. I have followed the directions to update on several different occasions. It appears to download but the next time I try, I get the same thing.
Can you attach a screenshot or link to the instructions you are following?
You are on the 3.6 release and Firefox 7.0.1 is out. You can download and install the latest release from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ if you would like to update now. The 3.6 version will be maintained for a while longer, but you should update when you can. -
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.

hey guyz.. i wanna ask if i get an updated version from itunes when i plug my iPhone into the Pc, i get a letter tells me that there is an update for your iPhone ... i wanna ask is it safe to download ?? and does it make any side effects on longTerm using ??
It is safe to download if your phone is not jailbroken. Before you download it, however, take some precautions:
Reboot your computer
Disable your antivirus and firewall
Connect the phone cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
Before updating right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "Backup"
When you are given the choice choose "Download only", not "Download and Update"
After the download completes successfully click the Update button to install it.
Most of these steps are just being overly cautious, as most people ignore them and have no problems. But occasionally the extra steps save grief. -
Every time i try to open my Firefox i get a window that pops up asking me which browser i want to use to open it. After choosing Firefox it asks to run a C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe. But my search bar says file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe. Never seen anything like this, half tempted to stop using Mozilla for this sole fact. PLEASE someone help me.
Same error message, I disabled tab mix and made sure I only have the newest version of Java, restarted firefox, now it seems to be fine no error yet on Pogo games or pictures upload to ebay which were the biggest problems besides hanging. I had also had disabled AVG secure search yesterday but that did not solve the issue. Now I will try to add back in AVG search...I have very few adds ons, also the note embedded about re- installing a toolbar went away, my old one did not work with FF4, so I installed Yahoo toolbar but the message still did not go away until I applied this fix. Hopes this helps someone..

The top of the screen has an owl like icon & then the following message:
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.Dear Colbabomb; thankyou for your links.
So far, I looked at your first solution, Revo Uninstaller and it gives you a 30 free trial. Ergo, it will eventually cost money so I'm leery of using those kinds of programs in general, meaning most "free trials" have unwanted strings attached and often are big probs to get rid of later. Perhaps you can assure me that it is easy and very user friendly, before I proceed. And I already ran malwarebytes and it found nothing tho the program still can't be uninstalled. I downloaded Adw Cleaner and during the install, my Norton's security popped up and warned that there were (low risk) threats with two of their "other offers" and i hadn't even actually clicked to agree either of them. Nonetheless, Norton warned me against the "lyrics finder" and "deal ply." In fact, there was a box already with an x in it, saying that you are accepting deal ply if you x on "next." Well, except I unchecked that box before clicking on next, yet when it went to fully install, it still showed that it was adding itself; so, just before the install was 100% completed, I had to abort the whole thing. I really do hope your other suggestions are programs that you personally know that they don't try and trick you. But right now, I would not suggest Adw Cleaner to anyone. I even read the fine print about what they will try and install and how to decline and it still tried sticking stuff on that i believed I had declined. Anyways, i have to leave now, shall pick up later this evening, if my pc is still functioning. -
I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any individually nothing happens at all. It also does not ask me for my password any more but my iPad and mac book do.
I have signed in and out of the app store and the password is correct. I have tried both kinds of reboot but that did nothing. I have tried to update the apps by connecting phone to Mac book pro...it shows the apps being download on the Mac book and says it will sync them to my phone but it does not. Everything else on my phone works fine.
Any ideas ...Please!Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately. I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old AppleID as they will not be recognised. Any suggestions for this please?

I was informed via Secunia that I needed to update Flash Player and then was given link to do so.
I was informed via Secunia that I needed to update Flash player and then downloaded the new version. After going into Adobe to see if I was installed correctly I found that the program was installed and I had the new version 10.0.45.2. When I try to play a game that I have been playing for months, I get the message that I need Flash Player version 8 or above. What am I doing wrong and what do I need to do now?
Thanks for your response.
Now I think I might have it but one thing confuses me. Will mention it at the end.

What confuses me is that most of not all of the dates say 1/26/10. Doesn't give a date of yesterday when I did Flash Player for Firefox. Is that normal?
Bottom line -- I can now do the games in Firefox that I haven't been able to play since I installed Firefox. Wouldn't let me play some other video files as well.
I am still unable to do slow scrolling in e-mail or other webpages when I make the page full screen. that is only in Comcast and not AOL. It must be a Comcast problem so will have to get in touch with them.
Let me know if all my files in Flash are okay.
