Firefox doesn't detect that an update is available.

On a particular PC I am using (Windows 7), I have Firefox 34.0 installed. The About Mozilla Firefox dialog shows that I have version "34.0" installed, and indicates that "Firefox is up to date." However, on another PC, also running Windows 7, I have already been updated to version 34.0.5. So I know 34.0 is not the most recent version.
I know I can simply download and install version 34.0.5, but I'd like to know why the update feature isn't working.
Additional information: When I visit https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ I am told "Congrats! You’re using the latest version of Firefox. " Strange.

hello, same question as here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1035970 ?

Firefox doesn't know that I updated a plug-in.

Firefox was crashing whenever I closed a window. Mozilla Support directed me to the Plugin Check page. It told me to update Java(TN) Platform SE6U37 (among other things). I downloaded jre-7u11-windows-x64.exe. I ran it. The last window said "You have successfully installed Java". I closed everything and restarted windows 7. Then I opened Firefox and followed the same path to the Plugin Check page. It told me to do the same update.

According to this bug on the Oracle site http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8005410 , the problem occurs because their installer did not properly recognize prior Java versions and is compounded by a problem with systems having the JavaFX stand-alone application installed.
So, if you see JavaFX in your list of installed programs (Windows: Control Panel), remove it. It might also be best to remove all Java from your system before installing the new Java.
I would have recommended JavaRa to uninstall all previous Java from your system, but, sadly, it has not been updated since October 2012 and does not include and will not find more recent versions of Java files and/or registry keys. Hopefully the built-in Windows uninstall will remove all of the files and registry entries
Oracle has released Java 7 update 11 to address the vulnerability recently recognized in Java 7 update 10 and some prior versions. Java 6 update 38 was not updated; support for the Java 6 versions ends in February 2013.

Firefox doesn't detect that it is installed...?

I can't download any add-ons because it says I don't have firefox installed.
When I click 'download now' it says:
"To install this add-on and thousands more, get Firefox, a free and open web browser from Mozilla.
Learn more about Firefox
or download anyway"
If I click 'download anyway' I can't figure out how to use/open it with firefox.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled firefox 3.6 and it's still not working :(

When I try to update from 3.6.18 to 5.0, get message that no updats are available.

See above

Using Windows Vista Home Premium and Firefox 3.6.18 on the computer in question. When I click on the check for updates I get message that no updates are available. Why is not 5.0 showing as an available update, since 5.01 is not needed for windows? When I converted from 3.6.18 to 5.0 a couple or so weeks ago it let me update on my other computer using Vista Home Premium. Why is Firefox making it harder to update now??? Where can I get 5.0 , since 5.o1 is not necessary for my windows computer??? I am a long time user of Firefox and it is getting more complicated, rather than easier to use. As for speed cannot see any difference than 3.6.18, except that 3.6.18 appears to be a litter faster.

Installed Mountain Lion, still getting a notification that an update is available.

Have already installed the Mountain Lion update, but upon initial log in I am still receiving a notification that an update is available the version the update states is available is the version of OSX already installed on the system.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this?

Re-indexing spotlight didn't work, after re-indexing, I shut down, re-started and got the same thing, I took a few pictures to illustrate exactly what is happening:
After logging in I have this icon (with the arrow pointing to it)
It asks to update to Mountain Lion 1.8.2
The problem is, I have already upgraded to 1.8.2
It will not go away, even after disabling notifications and re-indexing spotlight - it's like the computer is stuck thinking that the upgrade has not bee applied.

Have you gone through the process of accepting the iLife apps into your iTunes/Mac App Store account before updating the apps?

Firefox doesn't recognize FLASH after update, no matter what. Also says to update plugins but there are none to update listed?

I have downloaded & re-downloaded FLASH, but after I updated my Firefox to 22.0 it no longer recognizes FLASH is installed on my computer. It also keep telling me "Some plugins required by this page have been blocked for your protection." When I check the plugins, the 3 listed are up to date, and the other 3 are marked "research" - which doesn't allow you to update them. I cannot discern that any of those are what is being blocked. When I click on Details, it brings me to a list of "Modules bloqués" and it's all listed in French...which would be great if spoke French or lived in France, but alas California is in the USA. My Java is updated, enabled & not blocked in any way. My Shockwave Flash is disabled & it will not give me the option to Enable it; I also cannot find a way to reinstall it or find a plugin to help me. !@#$%! So frustrating that this new "update" is useless. I hate 22.0.
What do I do now?

Your System Details List shows that some plugins are blocklisted and Flash is included:
# plugin.blocklisted.flash: True
# plugin.blocklisted.java: True
# plugin.blocklisted.nppdf: True
Which version of the Flash plugin do you have installed if you check that in Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > > Plugins?
You will have to update Flash to make it work.
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.

I have Flash 9 and FireFox 1.5.0.4 recognizes it and works on the sites I tested (Adobe and my own). The error message about unlicensed stuff is something I have never seen. Try to reinstall FireFox.

I have Firefox 3.3.22 in ubuntu 10.04 I want to upgrade to 5 or 6, Firefox doesn't show up under update just add-on and search engines, plese help.

I've tried several times in the past, but can't seem to find any helpful information.

You have the Firefox version from your Ubuntu Linux distribution, so if you want to update that version then you need to do that via the software management of Ubuntu.
You can also download and install the full Firefox 6.0.2 version.

Firefox doesn't detect adobe flash

I have a Dell Inspiron 3521 with Linux Mint 15 (Olivia x36-64). My Firefox is 26.0. The about page says it's Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint - 1.0.
I have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed, but my Firefox is not recognizing it. It isn't showing up in the plugin list, so I can't even activate it.
So it's partially functioning, because I went to the Adobe website test page and it indicated that I have it and it works. But things Facebook doesn't work. Can't play games or reach it by external link on my email.
This began when I reset my Firefox the other day.
How do I get this thing functioning again?

[[Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems]]
Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Firefox doesn't detect text field on flash content in the Firefox for Android browser

Using the latest Firefox for Android from Google PlayStore as of 04/19/2013.
Installed Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.54).
Logged in with my account on www.chatango.com, which is a pure flash based site.
I can't type into the text field because the keypad doesn't popup when clicked on the field.

No, you have to click on "Login" and get in with your credentials. And then try sending someone a message. You won't be given a keypad to type with when you click on the input field. Why are you trying to do "Create A Public Group"? That wasn't what I meant when I wrote "Logged in with my account".

[SOLVED]Firefox doesn't detect Flash plugin on a fresh installation

I have tried the package in extra and the package from AUR, but firefox still doesn't register the flash plugin. I'm probably just missing something here..
[tapio@Pochi flashplugin-alpha-64]$ ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
libflashplayer.so
Is there something extra I have to do other than installing the package? I looked at the old wiki page for using nspluginwrapper but I couldn't see anything that looked relevant..
Any help would be much appreciated.

Try to log out and back in so that the scripts in /etc/profile.d/ get called.

Firefox alerted me that an update was available. I allowed firefox to install it. Firefox now has EVERY web site "Untrusted" and will not allow me to go there, not even to Microsoft's support page. How do I roll back to the previous version of Firefox?

EVERY SITE IS UNTRUSTED, including support.mozilla.com
The problem began as soon as I allowed Firefox to install the latest update.
I want to UNINSTALL the latest update and roll the product back to the previous version that was working.

Is the Date / Time set correctly on that PC?

Firefox doesn't remember that I ask it not to enable cookies

I keep ticking off 'accept cookies from sites' and at every new session it is ticked on again. Firefox remembers all my other privacy settings. I have just uninstalled Firefox (I was on version 3-something) and reinstalled it (Firefox 4.0) but the problem remains. I recently had two infestations of viruses that masquerade as anti-virus and although scans say my PC is clean, I wonder if this might be an after-effect.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

ITunes doesn't detect that my iPod is connected

I plugged my iPod touch in today so I could sync it, and the USB found sound was played, followed by a USB error sound. iTunes did not recognise that my iPod was connected and would not sync it.
I looked in Device Manager and there was an exclamation mark over Apple iPod, and the following message was displayed:
"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"
I don't know why this is happening, as I successfully synced my iPod yesterday with no issues.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I am having this same problem. I have been able to sync before, but now when I attach my ipod, itunes does not recognize it. The PC thinks it's another drive letter, and itunes never shows it in the list on the left.
Any ideas how to correct this?
