Firefox stopped updating a while ago for unknown reason;now stuck at v 2.0.0.20-- trying to manually update from your site doesn't work.

Firefox stopped updating a while (couple of years) ago for some unknown reason. The button is checked for automatic updates. It was a while before I noticed, so now I've been stuck at v 2.0.0.20 for some time, and trying to manually update from your site doesn't work.
No update available will work, since I missed some. I can't even see what most of the buttons are on these pages of your site. Do I need to reinstall Firefox, as some people have suggested to me, and if so, how do I go about doing that? I'm not particularly computer program savvy.
Thanks,
Taav

Which version of Mac OS are you running?<br />
Is that a OS X 10.2 or 10.3 version?<br />
The last Firefox version that works on OS X 10.2 and 10.3 is 2.0.0.20.
*https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/
The last Firefox version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4 is Firefox 3.6.28.
*https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest-3.6/
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6.28/system-requirements/
Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 (Firefox 16 runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5).
*http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/23.0/system-requirements/
For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.8 ESR compatible version that runs on a PowerPC Mac with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at TenFourFox.

I need to download Firefox 3.6 and have tried to do so from your site, but it keeps going to the update. How can I get 3.6?

The newer versions of Firefox are incompatible with my website builder. Tech support advised me that Firefox 3.6 would work.

To add onto what Seburo says:
Firefox 3.6 came out in 2010. It is VERY old in terms of software and especially web browsers. Firefox is currently on version 36.0.4 and version 37 comes out next week. You should ALWAYS be running the latest version of a web browser. Don't believe me? If you are using 3.6, you are vulnerable to most of the bugs at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox/, and your browser can't use all the new features http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Firefox#Version_4.0 from version 4 down (there are lots). You are stuck in technology 5 years old and can't use all the modern awesomeness.
Honestly, if your website building tool only supports Firefox 3.6, you should consider finding a new tool. There are lots of modern web technologies (like HTML5, CSS3, etc.) that that tool is probably forcing you to miss out on.
If you really need to use that tool, can't upgrade, and firefox 3.6 is the only version that works (I'd try using it with modern Firefox, it might work) then use the portable version of Firefox 3.6 and use regular Firefox for all your regular surfing. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox,%20Portable%20Ed./Mozilla%20Firefox,%20Portable%20Edition%203.6.28/)

How can i update my contacts on the ipad and have it go to my iphone. I tried backing up on icloud but this doesn't work. yes i had them plugged in when i backed it up

I want to update my contacts on my IPad and transfer it to my IPhone4. I tried backing up to ICloud (plugged in) but it didn't work.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Brilliant! That worked like a charm.
I created a new User Account on one of my Macs and logged into it. I connected my iPhone to its iTunes and checked my iPhone's Sync Contacts option in iTunes. Since that account's address book was basically empty (two dummy contacts, one for Apple and one for this new user), I ended up with only those two Contacts on the phone. Then, going back to my real User account (which does not have syncing turned on in iTunes) the phone synced nicely with the MobileMe account and populated the phone with all the MobileMe contacts and groups.

I had dreadful trouble installing Flash Player on to my Mac OS X. Now I have the same trouble with the update. I have downloaded it and now it wants a password. I have tried every password I have ever had and nothing works. I am an over eighty lady.

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

Firefox crashes for unknown reason lately, so I removed it and reinstalled it. How can I put my Favorites (bookmarks) back into the newly installed FireFox???

Firefox crashes a few times when I was on Facebook and with email, also watching dramas online. Most of the time due to Adobe Flash and I did submit crash report. Later it crashes for unknown reason while I have email and Facebook on different tabs -- when I was on the tab of email, it looks system hang and not responding. This happened to my laptop that uses Windows Vista as I noticed. I don't remember it ever happens to my desktop that uses Windows XP.
It's pretty annoying of such known crash, but before removing Firefox, I did try to update all add-ons or plugins and it looks like doesn't work out. After updating for couple times and it still crashed like that, I removed Firefox and reinstall it.
'''Now I want to know how to put the shortcuts from my Favorite folder into the newly installed FireFox's bookmarks.''' I didn't backup the bookmarks by using Firefox. I even went to Firefox help for instructions, but it only mentions how to merge/input the bookmarks from other browsers. Please note the version I've removed and inrestalled is the same -- 3.6.13.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Security updates 3.6.16, 3.6.17, 3.6.18 failed for unknown reasons

security updates 3.6.16(5/13/11),3.6.17(6/21/11),3.6.18(7/3/11)
failed for unknown reasons. When "details" selected- referred to
Firefox Help.

cor-el...For some reason, my last attempt to update,after posting question & talking with Apple Support-altho no immediate help-seemed to have worked
and the Firefox system says that I am now up to date with 3.6.18. Mozilla-
Firefox said I also needed to update Adobe Flash, which took another hour or
so fumbling around between Firefox system recommendation to download a
version which Adobe said was outdated and Adobe's current update, which is
configured to Mac OSX Snow Leopard 3.6.8, contrary to Mozilla note in front
of outdated recommended patch. Some confusion here.
I had earlier (2 months-approx)uploaded a beta version of
Firefox 4, which was unusable because it ditched all header bars at top of
screens. So I reloaded Firefox 3.6 from a disc made from a friend's computer.
So what is the story now with Firefox 5?
Please accept my grateful thanks for offering a pathway to solve the problem
that I encountered with the failed updates. I will hang on to that email, in
case the system changes its mind on the success of the last download.
Are you recommending that I do a fresh reload regardless? The guy at Apple
Support has recommended that I reload OSX Snow Leopard from scratch- I
have just ordered the discs- since not included when I purchased computer
2nd hand. If I am to consider Firefox 5, how do I get a peek at how it is
configured, how it looks, works, etc.?
Again, many thanks for the timely response. My secondary question is not
quite as urgent, but if you are able to answer it, it would be helpful.

Firefox Displays "Peer's certificate has an invalid signature." SubCA shows "Could not trust this certificate for unknown reasons"

Using a 2-tier on-premise PKI. Offline Root CA (Standalone Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise) and online SubCA for issuing certificates (Domain-Joined Issuing CA)
ROOTCA certificate installed in the store and showing trusted (Uses a SHA2 signature and PKCS #1 SHA-256 With RSA Encryption algorithm)
ISSUINGCA certificate installed in the store and showing "Could not trust for unknown reasons" also has SHA2 signature with RSASSA-PSS algorithm
Issued certificate is for a Lync Front-End Web Server and when attempts are made to load the secure web connection. I receive the error "Peer's certificate has an invalid signature"
I've completely de-installed and re-installed Firefox. Removed and re-added the ROOT and SUBCA certs. Note: No issues when using same certs in Internet Explorer 8, 9 or 10 on the same system. Lync client also using same certificates, no issues. Only when accessing the Lync Web Services from Firefox.
Question: Does Firefox NSS Internal PCKS#11 Module support RSASSA-PSS SHA-256 with different hashes? How can I troubleshoot this further?

HI khetheri,
In order to better test the certificate may we request the certificate without the private keys? I have some backup from the security team if this is possible.
There is a temporary work around as well but I don't recommend turning on all certificates to make sure it is not a compatibility error(ish)
It is possible to check if it is being detected as a bad certificate in Firefox itself to eliminate compatibility issues.
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Search for '''browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert ''' and set it to true to try the certificate normally.
Looking forward to your reply!

For unknown reasons iTunes will no longer open. I have an HP laptop running windows 7 with Kaspersky protection. It worked fine before but now won't open. I tried downloading the most recent up-date and it will still not open. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply with additional information.
Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
driver version roll back.
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thanks.

Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
later versions of Premiere Elements.

My Time Machine will no longer back up to my external disk for unknown reasons. It would not accept my password and said the disk is read-only and damaged. How can I copy my files to my Mac so I can repair it?

My Time Machine will no longer back up to my external drive for unknown reasons. It began after a series of power outages (my equipment is protected by a surge protector with battery backup), and was shut down correctly. Then it began by not recognizing my disk and my Time Machine password, although I am positive it was correct. I tried NUMEROUS times to get into it. It says the disk is damaged and needs to be erased and started over. How can I back up my files on my Mac so I can do that? I have no other disk to back up to. I found the files in a folder called "Backups.backupdb", and tried to copy them into a folder, but get the message "The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup." The "lost+found" folder did copy for me. Will I just have to lose 4 years of backups?

Hi there,
I have the same issue. Usually hangs after 10K od sometimes after 18MB of backup file.
Config: iTunes 10.4., Win 7 64bit, iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.3
I tried all of these without success:
- deleted backups via iTunes / Preferences
- deleted backups from sync folder
- created a new admin user and tried to sync
- reinstalled iTunes
- ran all Windows updates, restarted, reinstalled iTunes
- ran iTunes / Diagnostics (says everything okay, only info which is strange: diag says I am not a admin user, which is not correct)
Nothing helped. Who can help. I hope someone from Apple can take care, as I seem not to be the only one. Actually iTunes is the worst part about iPhone. Hope with iOS 5 and Cloud sync to get rid of iTunes.
Any hints welcome,
Cheers,
Miguel-KA

Downloading a file would bring up an option to open the file or save it - for some reason now it just downloads straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else?

Downloading a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason now it just downloads straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It's very frustrating - sometimes you want the file opened first so it can be discarded or saved to a different location.

Hey. that's great! Thanks for posting back with the outcome.
