Firefox recommends I upgrade but when I click OK, it never happens. Very retarded
Just about every day when I open Firefox, it asks me if I want to upgrade. I have tried to click yes, no, close the window, pray to Jesus....but nothing makes it stop. I would be glad to download this phantom upgrade it it would let me. Perhaps a human being can actually help me with this (I know that's a lot to ask for in this stupid world we live in). When I click YES and try to download this upgrade, a progress bar comes up and never changes. I usually end up quitting Firefox and giving up using the internet for the day due to my annoyance. REALLY STUPID.
If exist problem with update or permissions it is better and easiest to download and install the new version:
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

When I put my mouse over the firefox icon in the lower tray it shows small pictures of the home page but when i click on these they will not open to a full page. I am using windows 7. This problem just started today. I can use internet explorer without a problem. Thanks for any assistance you can give. I contact HP and they said to contact your support as they only support internet explorer.
below is what I get with the dev.jeffersonscher.com etc. url. But what do I do with this information? I can launch safe mode, but I still get only the 2" icon/window of Firefox.

June 25 my virus software detected a threat from milkiwals.com and zonedg.com. Although the virus software said it contained the threat, I continued to get a widow opening asking if I wanted to run an unknown program in a sandbox, and the same threat alerts would continue every few minutes. I then noticed a new exe running in the task manager labeled conhost.exe. I removed it to the trash the threats stop, but would come back when I did a restart, so I did a system restore to June 24. I restarted the computer with no more alerts. I thought everything was fixed so I shut down the system for the night. But when I restarted the computer on the 26 I got the above describe Firefox problem.
This began to happen to me when I tried to run two separate profiles simultaneously on the same installation of firefox with -no-remote

I installed Firefox successfully yesterday. But when I click on the icon, the only page that comes up is a google home page with a google toolbar. No firefox visible at all as page or toolbar. Can't figure it out. Current browser in Explorer and I have a windows 7 operating system on a desktop.
Hi druddock,
Is Firefox in fullscreen mode? Try hitting F11 to see if the toolbar and navigation bar are just hidden. If you see a small ''Firefox'' button in the corner, hit ''Alt'' and go to ''view > toolbars'' and enable the ''Navigation toolbar'' and the ''Bookmarks toolbar''. The [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]] article also has some good information in it.
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]] and try setting your homepage to ''about:home''. This is the default Firefox homepage.
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]]. If you've upgraded from 3.6, you might also want to look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36#os this article with common questions after upgrading].
Hopefully this helps! -
I recently update my iPhoto software to version 9.5.1 and since the update I have been unable to open any of my projects. I can see the project folders in the sidebar, but when I click on one of them all I get is a never ending spinning wheel. Any help wouldbe much appreciated.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.

I have FireFox 4.0 it comes up and says that it needs to be updated, when I click the (NEXT) button & it does the contacting server/downloading the update. I click the apply update button & the fire fox window closes & the status bar come up with the installing the updates & will restart firefox in a moment. However once the window restarts, the notice that firefox needs to be updated come back. When I click the (next) button to download the update, the cycle begins.
I clicked the HELP link at the top of the window & then the ABOUT FIREFOX to see if there might be multiple updates, but it's the same one each time "modzilla firefox yahoo edition yahoo 1.8"
I love fire fox & until now have never had a problem when it comes to installing the updates.Well I went to the Tools/options/and general section & clicked on the restore default for the home page. However I am still having the same issue.

Hi! I am using firefox on Windows 7 home premium platform today I updated my firefox to its latest version i.e. 3.6.12 first I uninstall the firefox but keeps my personal setting and then restart my system but when I click on firefox icon nothing happened in fact its exe was running in backend firefox version 3.5 is working fine on my system as I low grade myself to 3.5 again. Kindly help.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Ever since removing and updating Adobe Flash Player I suddenly cannot get my Yahoo email page to come up with Mozilla 4.0 or 3.6. I can log into yahoo but when I click on Mail from the welcome page I get an error message saying that it cannot find the email address and asking me to check the spelling. I have tried removing and redownloading 4.0 and 3.6. Same problem. With other browsers--Opera, Chrome, and Safari--I don't have this problem. Please help me solve this problem as Mozilla is my default browser.
Its known issue, see;
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
please open a bugzilla account and add your email in cc list if you want to follow the bug?
Someone having the problem, but when he upgrade Java runtime, his poblem was fixed, make sure your JRE has been up to date?
Also maybe this bug is fixed in nightly?

When I try to open the iphoto it keeps on asking for the software update, but when I click on the software update it says that all the software in the computer are up to date. I still cant open the iphoto, what should I do?
How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update
If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

Question
I have installed firefox 3.2.64. When i click on the desktop icon nothing happens. The windows task manager says mozilla firefox is running but I can't see it anywhere. What might the problem be?A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Firefox will not open, but when I shut my computer down it says that it is running and must be forced quit. Once I rebute the computer it opens but is very slow and hang up on many web pages. I have reinstalled it with little help. In contrast, Windows Internet Explorer works fine.
Did you check your security software (firewall)?<br />

I have downloaded the Firefox Sync add on but when I select "add a device" it launces a help page which tells me to click "add a device" which is an endless circle!
Any advice appreciatedSorry about that. The help pages have been updated for the new "Add a device" process in Firefox 4, but the add-on for Firefox 3.6 is still using an older, different process.
You can download the Firefox 4 release candidate here and use the new "easy setup" process described in the help pages: http://firefox.com/rc
Or if you prefer to stick with Firefox 3.6, then instead of clicking "Add a device" on your computer, press the "Connect" button on your phone or other device, then click on "I am not near my computer..." and enter your email address, password, and sync key. (If you don't know your sync key, see [[Where can I find my Firefox Sync Key?]]) -
When i click on any link to download a file ( software, document etc.) using idm , the firefox get hang for sometime till the download dialogue box don't come. any solution to this problem.??
Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works find in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections. -
Firefox does not auto launch when I click on a hyperlink in another program
Firefox no longer auto launches when I click on a hyperlink in another program (ie in an email). It used to work and I have no idea when it stopped.
Vista-64 home premium. When updated to Firefox 4, I also got this message. Fixed by reassociating htm type files to Firefox 4 (Control Panel, Programs, Set your default programs, restart Firefox). Works now.
