Firefox is not upgrading; I download and run the installer, but the version stays the same.

1. I'm on 64-bit Windows 7.
2. Current Firefox version is 33.0 Yahoo edition 1.32
3. Every time I open the About Mozilla Firefox dialog, an update appears to run automatically, followed by "Restart to Update." When I click on this button, Firefox closes but does not re-open. When I launch Firefox, it is still the old version.
4. Have also tried restarting my PC, to no avail.
5. I have encountered this problem in the past as well, and have subsequently gone back to Chrome. I really want to use Firefox because of Mozilla's respect for privacy; help! (and thanks).
6. Automatic "educated guesses" about my system are wrong; they mistakenly report WinXp and Firefox 9.

Thank you, Guigs2, for your reply. However, my Yahoo mail account also reports an older version of Firefox and therefore only shows my account in the Basic Mail format. This is even after having clicked through their link to their version of Firefox and trying to update.
On a previous PC (also Win7, but 32-bit), I encountered this same problem and attempted to update through the Mozilla (not Yahoo) website, with the same results.
I will uninstall Firefox and try reinstalling from the Mozilla site.

Firefox Software Update starts - indicates downloading and "connecting to server" - but never finishes.

I am runnng Max OS X 10.7.1

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

Can I download and run the Lion software on my old mac?

I have a MacBook, from 2007. Snow Leapord is intstalled on it, and I have Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Just bought a new hardrive with more memory, but then iCloud came out, and I need to know if I can run Mac OS X Lion on my computer. Otherwise I need to start looking for a new computer.

I have the same macbook and i am currently running Lion. It shouldn't be a problem.

HT1222 When I go to download the 64-bit for Windows 7 when it is done downloading and runs the security scan it says that it is unsafe for my computer.

It says that the 64-bit is unsafe for my computer... What should I do?

It helps if you provide details - not just a problem
What exactly dod you have and have you done?
What version of iPhoto did you have and what version do you now have? Of the OS? If you are upgrading from iphoto '08 or earlier did you download and RUN the iphoto library upgrader?

HT5037 I have downloaded and installed this tool, but it's still telling me I need to update. Any suggestions why this isn't working for me? I have a Macbook Pro.

I have downloaded and installed the iPhoto tool to update so my pictures transfer over, but it's still telling me I need to update. Any suggestions why this isn't working for me? I have a Macbook Pro.

You have to download and RUN the iPhoto library upgrade - then launch iPhoto - If you had iPhoto '08 or earlier (version 7.x.x) - the upgrade is installed in the utilities folder of your Applications folder

Need to run the same query on different databases with the same argument

Hi folks,
I've a script: obj, which has simple stuff, when I execute @obj
this asked me for the object_name
and in return gives me object/s if it exists in this (connected) db.
Now to check in 2 other dbs, I've to disconnect from here and then connect to those dbs and run the same @obj there and give the same argument, e.g., EMP and it'll return the answer.
What is desired ... if not very hard on you :-(
Some thing like @objAll
asked only once object_name ... e.g., I gave EMP
now go to all the 3 dbs and give me the result in ONE spool file only.
What do you think, is this tough, I did something, but it was not involved connecting to different dbs, within the same script, but here we cannot create db links and have to disconnect and connect to the db to get some information.
Please do reply, if my question is not understandable or any ...
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

As far as i understand from your question : you cannot create db links ? right..
well another option is to create a shell script , something like this :
vi check.sh
export ORACLE_SID=db1
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF
select query comes here;
exit;
EOF
export ORACLE_SID=db2
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF
select query comes here;
exit;
EOFchmod 777 check.sh
This does the job for you.. I am unsure how to pass the parameters in sql while running through a sheel script.. but if thats possible you will be able to achieve what you want.
Regards

Backup-restore vs running the same SSIS datacopy project twice

I have 2 different applications which need the same source data which is copied from a production database. The 2 applications run on different servers, so they can not use the same source database. The way I see it, I have the following two options:
1. I develop a SSIS solution to load the required data into the source database and run the same project on both servers, creating 2 identical source databases.
2. I develop a SSIS solution to load the required data into the source database, run this solution on one of the servers. I then create a job on this server to make a backup after this process is done and restore it on the second server, also creating for
me 2 identical source databases.
Which method would be more efficient and why? (what also might be relevant is that one of the two sourcedatabases needs to refresh every night, the other one only once a week)

I would definitely use backup and restore. It will consume fewest resources and you *know* that the data is identical.

Setup problem, windows xp, firefox upgrade to 4 and asked to reboot but did not progress. keeps asking to restart even if I try to remove

setup problem, windows xp, firefox upgrade to 4 and asked to reboot but did not progress. keeps asking to restart even if I try to remove

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!

If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Firefox is not upgrading; I download and run the installer, but the version stays the same.
