Firefox keeps telling me I need to upgrade it even though it's up to date.

My startup page is http://www.google.co.uk/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
When I start Firefox it tells me I need to upgrade Firefox. When I click Upgrade Now it tells me it's up to date. When I next use Firefox it tells me I need to upgrade it again.
I have Firefox 8.0 installed.

There is a minor update available, to Firefox 8.0.1 . I don't know if it's important enough to be offered through automatic updates though, just new installs.
There could be another reason - that's the old default startup page. Firefox changed its default startup page in 4.0. The page you're using may be (wrongly) assuming that if you're looking at it, you must still be on Firefox 3.6.
If you [[How to set the home page#w_restore-the-default-home-page|restore the default home page]], you should get the new home page instead. It's not much different to the one you're using, but it ''should'' give more up-to-date information.

I keep trying to upgrade my version of Firefox but everytime I download the upgrade I get a message stating that the file is corrupted. Firefox keeps telling me I need to upgrade but I can't seem to make it happen. Can someone help me?

For several months I have been trying to upgrade my Firefox version, which is no longer supported by several software platforms I need as a songwriter, such as Flashplayer, etc. After I download the upgrade all I get is a message that the file is corrupted. I am not very tech-savvy so I need to talk with someone who can explain what to do in layman's terms.

Which version of Mac OSX do you have?
Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever release for Mac OSX 10.3.9 and earlier versions.

Running 10.4.11 I can not find the outdated plugins that Firefox keeps telling me I need. Apple Software Update doesn't help with this

I'm running 10.4.11 and am unable to find the plugin updates that Firefox keeps telling me I need on an annoying little popup window that keeps coming up whenever I download a page using Firefox. The pluin updates I need are for Quicktime, Java to name a few. Is Apple not supplying any more plugin update because I'm using an old version of Mac OSX? The firefox plugin page tells me that Apple supppies their own plugins but I don't see any when I use Apple Software Update. Any suggestions?

Do what others do and get TenFourFox - the equivalent of the latest Firefox but built especially for PPC: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
To enable plug-ins:
Put about:config in TenFourFox's address bar and hit return
Put tenfourfox.plugins in the search box and hit return
Click tenfourfox.plugins.enabled to set it to true
Restart TenFourFox
TenFourFox will now use the Safari Flash plug-in

I've completed the new security download routine 3 times, and Firefox keeps telling me I need to download again.

I've downloaded the new security patch 3 times in the last couple of weeks, put it in my applications and from there onto the dashboard, and Firefox keeps telling me that I need to download it again. This is crazy... Firefox can't recognize it's own application???

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 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Firefox keeps telling me I need to update by Adobe Reader plugin but I've done it 3 times, even uninstalled and reinstalled Reader and still tells me need update plugin. Why?

Plugin updater come us every time I open Firefox. It keeps telling me that I need to update Adobe Reader vs 10. etc

To avoid confusion:

Make sure that you do not block JavaScript.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

I've downloaded 3 times, but it keeps telling me I need to upgrade/download.

After I have downloaded, and I shut down and re-boot, Firefox tells me I need to up grade. I.E. I suppose the down load didn't work. So what now?
ary

After you finished installing did you launch Adobe Reader from your /Applications folder and accept EULA(End User License Agreement)?
Assuming you are seeing this message in Safari , Please try this:
Quit Safari
Go to /Applications/ and launch Adobe Reader
Accept End User License
Now launch Safari and View PDF.

Frequently, when waking the computer up from Standby and opening a new browsing session, I get a message that Firefox is already running and needs to be closed, even though it was closed during the previous session. I use Task Manager to close it.

Internet connection is AT&T highspeed DSL via Westell modem. Antivirus is AVG 2011. OS is XP Home SP2, circa 2002.

Check and tell if its working.

Sync keeps telling me that the password is incorrect, even though i keep udating it.

at first i had thought maybe i had accidentaly caps-locked or something, but after trying 2 more times, i still cannot log in from either of my computers or my ipad (which is a whole other deal) i can however log in from the website. but when i hit 'refresh sync' it tells me the password is incorrect and to try again, over and over.

Have you tried resetting the network settings? Sometimes starting from scratch solves the issue and it is the simplest way I can think of that may solve your problem.
1. Go to Settings > General > Reset
2. Then select Reset Network Settings
3. Enter your password when it requests it
After the phone finishes the reset try adding your Wi-Fi again and see if that works. If not, I would back-up your phone to your computer, then reset the whole phone by following the same instructions above, but choosing Reset All Content and Settings at step two. Make sure you backup your phone first though! Otherwise you will lose all the stuff on your phone when you make this selection.
Good luck!

I have the latest edition of the Flash player and it works fine with IE but Firefox keeps telling me I can play things because I dont have it

Since I updated Firefox I cant play anything that requires Flash player. I have the up to date player and it works perfectly with IE but Firefox keeps telling me I need another plug in and when I follow the instructions it says 'download failed try manual download' but even that fails too.
Before I updated Firefox I had no issues, can you help
Alan.

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''but use IE to go to the above website'''.

Firefox keeps telling me i have version 3.5.3.6 after i have upgraded to version 4.0

i have tried to upgrade ff 3x's now. i would like to use the 4.0 version so that i may use the add on..Awesome Screenshot - Capture and Annotate 2.3
however, when i try to download it its telling me i need to upgrade. so i did. 3 times. each time it tells me im using the old version, please upgrade. i have even restarted the computer.

''The useragent information is already supplied look in the right column at "more system details" on this page. It shows Firefox 3.5.4''
Suggest downloading the full version from http://www.mozilla.com
then uninstall Firefox through the control panel, but do not delete your user files.
Do not remove your profile directories and files as they contain your settings,
bookmarks, history, extensions, passwords, and cookies.
At the completion of the download don't let the setup
start Firefox for you, when the setup ends, start Firefox in your
normal manner this way you will be less likely to create a new profile.
The extra startup pages are temporary -- read them. The next time
Firefox comes up you should be back to starting with your normal home page.
Note: Firefox must be down once the install starts.
Close Firefox with File>Exit. Then make sure Firefox is not running --
On Windows: check the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
in any case once you are on 4.0 you might want to take a look at "(fx4)"

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again. You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.

TS3681 When i try to install apps to my iPad it keeps telling me it needs iOS 6 but on iTunes it says it's up to date even connected to a wifi......help

When I try to install apps to my iPad it keeps telling me it needs iOS 6 but when connect to iTunes it says it's up to date even when connected to a wifi......how do I upgrade when it says it's up to date????

If you have the iPad 1 it cannot be updated beyond iOS 5.1.1 so you as as up-to-date as you can be.
Check with the app developer to see if there are older versions of these apps which run on iOS 5.
