Firefox keeps popping up wanting me to upgrade. What happens if I don't? I have tried the more current versions, however my computer continually has problems with it. So I have downgraded to 3.6.

Basically, I just want to know what happens if I choose not to upgrade to the most current version? I keep getting pop ups to upgrade my 3.6 but it always takes me to the download for 6.0! I '''DO NOT''' want 6.0-it sucks! My computer is not even a year old but Firefox 6.0 caused many issues. Plug ins-all updated/current, but 6.0 would not allow some of my programs run properly. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled 3.6. This version seems to be the only one that does not cause problems! If you need any further information, please eel free to contact me @: ''removed''

I don't know why all these programmers won't get a real job, instead of "upgrading" something that worked very well up to a year ago. Every "upgrade" takes away a lot of functionality - and eliminates useful plugins. Sadly, Firefox seems now aimed at kids who like to play with the computer, neglecting people who use the Internet for BUSINESS purposes. Version 6.0 crashes constantly, sometimes every few minutes, so it became totally useless. I'm switching to Opera.

  • Why does Firefox want to update to the most current version upon starting when I have already updated?

    Upon starting Firefox, often after starting or restarting my computer but sometimes after closing the Firefox browser(s) for a significant time, the program asks to update. Firefox asks this every time, and I have no idea how many times I have updated to the most recent browser version and I suspect the update is not saving correctly so the program is continually reverting to the last recent browser version.

    There are no useragent prefs listed in the System Details List and extensions.lastAppVersion: 15.0.1 suggests also that you run Firefox 15.0.1.
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 26: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    if possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Software Update keeps asking me to install the existing, current version of iTunes

    Well, I thought this would go away - maybe - when I just updated to iTunes 11.3.  But, it didn't.  I uninstalled iTunes and all associated programs in the order recommended by one posting, rebooted, installed the current iTunes 11.3.  But, when I run the Software Update, it still tells me I need to update to 11.3 (now - it used to say 11.2, etc.).  I've had this problem for some time.  I have three machines in the house with iTunes on each - all are basically identical installs - all done at the same time, and this one machine is the only one that can't recognize that it already has the current version of iTunes and keeps popping up wanting me to install it all over again - which I've done by following the prompt, and then it immediately checks to see if new updates are required and tells me - again - that I need to update to the current version - which, of course, is already installed.  How do I get out of this loop?  Help????

    Hi bweech,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with the update to iTunes 11.3.  I understand you have tried some of these steps, but I would recommend going through them as outlined in this article again.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • Why in the world is the most current version of firefox AND flash having TONS of problems playing hulu videos? either chewing the crap out of my processor but playing ok, or chewing the crap out of my processor and not even playing video at all?

    used to be firefox and hulu got along just fine, never had my computer get retarded slow or any of the other things its currently doing while there's a tab open with hulu... but here lately its been eating the snot outta my processor (between firefox.exe and plugin container the two are consistently using 100% of my processor... most of it being firefox.exe itself)
    and tonight i cant watch hulu at all. the video shows a frame then its another 10-15 seconds before another single frame is showed.
    my firefox is the most current version.
    my adobe flash player plugin is the most current version.
    there's no reason this should be happening but it is happening and its friggin annoying
    ============================
    this happens anytime i'm in the part of hulu that has the player for showing whatever episode i'm attempting to watch. when i attempt to watch hulu i have no other tabs open and no other excess programs running on my computer, and firefox+plugincontainer run my CPU to 100% just between those two processes. i can browse around the internet just fine (like checking my email, or even getting to my queue list on hulu, which i have my homepage set as.. the queue list loads fine but the player part of hulu is when things go to crap)
    and i just tried the exact same episode of lie to me that i couldnt watch on firefox.... tried watching it on internet explorer and its playing perfextly fine EVEN WHILE FIREFOX IS OPEN.
    firefox is my preferred browser and i hope this junk can be fixed somehow.

    With your phone plugged in, open Image Capture and see if the iPhone shows up.  If not, you are having a sync problem.  If it shows up in Image Capture, but not iTunes, I'd delete iTunes and reinstall it.

  • Firefox does not load long images, pixelates images if they are not in their original size, and has problems with thumbnails (in some sites)

    Firefox has problems with images.
    In sites like deviantART or ImageShack with full-view option, images that are not in full size/thumbnails get slightly pixelated e.g. http://img251.imageshack.us/f/screenshot2tq.jpg/
    Long images get completely messed up if full-viewed e.g. http://img689.imageshack.us/f/screenshot5z.jpg/ (though if the file is only big, it loads just fine)
    Also, thumbnails in some sites get messed up e.g. http://img201.imageshack.us/f/screenshotyr.jpg/
    And in general, Firefox has more 'glitches' like not allowing to add more search engines. It wasn't like that before and I can only assume that it got messed up somewhere with updates, but I'm not really sure.
    I've tried cleaning out cache, re-installing Firefox (multiple times) and even downloaded Firefox 4 beta, but the problem remains.
    I use Ubuntu.
    Does anyone else have similar problems? Or know where the problem lies?

    Do you have the latest driver for your graphics display card?
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

    upon firefox update this morning, every window opens with this error in a popup: ''CaptureMovieFox could not be initialized. Some files of the extension may be missing or there is a problem with the Firefox.''
    when I close the popup, the original window opens seemingly without issue.

    I'm having the same issue, i restored my phone to Factory settings, even tried restoring it to my backup, half of my music bought from itunes won't play on my iphone and i'm super annoyed, this only happened once i updated to ios 7.2 so i assume its another glitch to go with my imessages not sending, getting sick of this.

  • 3.6.26 is working on my OSX 10.4.11 PPC, but it keeps asking me to download the most current version for my system... why?

    I've dowloaded and updated 3.6.26, which Firefox stated was the most current version, but when I restart the browser, it then states I'm NOT running the most current version for my system... why?
    I'm running a Mac PPC G4 10.4.11 Thanks for any assistance you can provide :)

    Thanks for the Reply Alice... :) The message is when I restart Firefox, which activates the update, and the 'thanks' page on Firefox's site (not Google)... So, I'm curious why it gives me my most current update, then tells me that there might be a more current version for my system... very strange! Anyway, I'm definitely sticking with 3.6.26, unless I get info that suggests there's a .27 or .28 flying around that may be useful... I will definitely NOT go to 9 or 10.... :)

  • HT4095 I have tried to download 2 movies onto my iPad but I keep getting a download error message. What do I do now? I have already tried turning the iPad off and on again-still nothing.

    I have tried to download 2 movies onto my iPad but I keep getting a download error message. What do I do now? I have already tried turning the iPad off and on again…still nothing.

    Try closing iTunes and reset your iPad. After the iPad starts up, try the download again.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the iTunes app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Hello- I recently upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my iMac and cannot download the most current version of Adobe Flash Player.  Please help!

    Hello- I recently upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my iMac and cannot download the most current version of Adobe Flash Player.  I even uninstalled the old Flash version but this did not resolve the issue.  Could somebody please assist?  Thank you. 

    Hello- I was able to resolve the issue after clicking on the top right hand corner that shows the recent downloads (it has that down arrow).  I realized that I had tried downloading the Adobe Flash Player Install Manager about 7 times, but still needed to click on the file and install!  So I erased all the duplicates and installed one of the Flash Player Install Managers and it finally worked!  Yay!
