Firefox does not update after downloading updates on restart. How to fix?

For quite some time now I receive the auto-notification that an update is ready to download. I proceed with the download and restart Firefox, yet the browser never updates. How do I fix this short of doing manual downloads every time?
MacBook Pro Mac OS 10.6 FF v 10.0

Thanks for your reply, Matt. I already read the knowledge base article, and it doesn't specifically address my issue. The update IS being downloaded, yet it is not updating the FF app - even on restart. As I indicated in my initial question, I've been experiencing this for the last year. To finally upgrade to v.10.0 I had to download a fresh copy of FF. Now, again, for the last two updates that I've been notified on - 10.1 and 10.2 I've followed the same procedure - allowed the downloads, did the restart and NO UPDATE to the app.

    My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back? Can I somehow undo the update? Thanks

    "UPAD lite?"
    I expect that you mean some version of iPad.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

    rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

    Hello b noir.
    Thank you for your interest in solving my problem.
    What I did I opened iTune. I read the information about what does my computener need to play back a rented movie. My computer is okay to play back rental movies. So I went to the iTunes store, I searched for the movie I want to watch, i singned in into my Mac account and I bought the movie. The movie started to download to my computer, it took some time because I bought a HD version, but it never stop and after a couple of hours or little less the movie was in the Rented folder of my iTunes and also I checked to be sure that was in the movie folder. So, next day I open iTunes and click on the movie, it opens but I wait for five minuetes and never started to play back, so I tried several time and I looked for info in different internet forums but I couldn't find anything that help. So I posted the problem in this forum and also I called Apple. Apple contacted me and they let me to download the movie again. So I did it and now I will watch the movie later. Not sure if the movie will play back normally or if I am going to have the same problem. I'll keep you posted.
    Apple representative did not know why this happened.
    Thanks.

    Try running one in a different compatibility mode. 

  • HT1386 My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?

    Hi, My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?
    Documents say
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it....
    But I can't see my iPad Mini in iTunes.
    And my  Ipad  (Settings, General, iTunes Wifi Sinc)  shows  a message :" Sync will resume when xxx(my PC with iTunes) is available "...
    Both are in the same network,
      Ipad mini is is plugged in to power
    . iTunes is open on the computer
    what can i Do ???

    Hi Skydiver119,  and tks for four interest.
    I have done exactly as you say, but it does not work for me.
    You indicated  " Navigate to the info tab and scroll down. There'll be a check box for 'sync over wifi' or something to that effect. Check that box and sync to affirm your choice."
    I navigated to Summary tab (not Info Tab) and checked "Sync with this ipad over Wi-Fi"
    I disconnect the wire,
    and my iPad disappears from my iTunes screen.
    in my iPad ->Settings -> General -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync -> says " Sync will resume when (my PC) is available.
    So, I can not sync via wi-fi
    I appreciate if you can help me.

  • My camera does not work after I restored the system, how can I use it again?

    My camera does not work after I restored the system, how can I use it again?
    Thank you for your help!

    Did try to restore "as new device" without using the backup after that?
    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo coes back again?

  • My primary keyboard is English UK and secondary one Spanish. Until now when switching keyboards the spell check would automatically change to the desired language. Somehow it does not happen anymore. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    My primary keyboard is English UK and secondary one Spanish. Until now when switching keyboards languages the spell check would automatically change to the desired language. Somehow it does not happen anymore. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    The keyboard doesn't normally play any role in Apple apps regarding spellcheck.  That  is determined by system prefs/keyboard/text/spelling.  Go the setup item at the bottom of the list and make sure that British English and Spanish are the only two boxes checked, and then set it to Automatic.  How well it works varies a lot.  You may also need to check Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar.
    If you are still using Pages 4, spellcheck is determined by Inspector > Text > More > Language.  Make sure that is set to the right thing for what you want to do.

  • Firefox will not start after interrupted update to 5.0

    Lenovo x200 | Windows 7 32bit | Firefox 5.0
    I was updating Firefox from version 3.6 (I think) to 5.0. Simultaneously I had done a update on Windows that seemed to have stopped. The update of Firefox had also come to a stop. As I remember it the installation was complete, and I was attempting to start the program, when Firefox was checking compatibility with installed plug-ins and so forth.
    The Windows updates installed fine afterwards but after several reinstalls of Firefox, I still can't seem to get it to start.
    There is no error message or notification at all when trying to start Firefox.
    One processes is created, staying steady at 50% CPU and 26 404 K memory.
    If i try to open another instance of Firefox I get a process that takes 0% CPU and about 1 844 K memory.
    Summary:
    Firefox fails to start after interrupted update to 5.0 from 3.6.
    There is no error message.
    Firefox never starts (and the process never shuts down), just shows in the Task Manager under Processes steady at 50% CPU and about 26 000 K memory (I've seen it do this for at least 20 minutes, before terminating it).

    Thanks kenton. But now pop-up says beta 5.
    The ''real issue'' is what is going on. On one machine the update process works, but on my other machine it does not.
    The machines are identical IBM T60s with Windows XP.
    This is a real mystery, as well as being annoying.
    A clue or suggestion any one?

  • Firefox will not start after an update, I cannot log in to Firefox in any manner.

    Firefox does not work any more and every time I attempt to access it (even in Safe Mode) it displays the following message:
    Firefox.exe- Entry Point Not Found
    The procedure entry point JS_GetOperationLimit could not be located in the dynamic link library js3250.dll.
    I have absolutely no way of getting into Firefox to undo whatever has gone wrong, is it still possible to solve this without having to completely purge and reinstall Firefox?

  • Firefox does not open after I downloaded Microsoft antivirus, why? How to fix it?

    Firefox worked fine on my desktop for years but when I downloaded Microsoft antivirus two days ago, Firefox does not work. It will not open anymore.

    Thanks LN.
    Now that I got an expert's attention, there are two problems that bug me all the time and have not able to get an explanation/solution:
    1. After restart, the trackpad lost it's ability to tab and click. I always have to use the mouse to tap the user (myself) to get the tiny signin password window. After that, all trackpad functions work fine. This happens for me through Marverik and now Yosemite.
    2. This one only happens recently after Yosemite upgrade. Everytime after restart, I have to reset my Verizon Router manually in order to establish network connection to access internet sites.
    Thank you for your help,
    ...Jeff

  • I keep getting a "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" message and firefox does not open. WHat is wrong and how do I fix?

    I uninstalled Firefox from my computer, then I reinstalled it and tried to run it, but this message appeared, "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" and Firefox does not open at all.

    hello davidrusso71, press windows-key+R on your computer and open ''%appdata%\Mozilla\'' - an explorer window should come up, in there rename the folder labelled "Firefox" to something like oldFirefox. on the next start of firefox this should lead to a new profile being created...
    you might want to import some of your old data into the new profile afterwards: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
