Firefox tries to upgrade but never finishes

I'm running 7.0.1 and Firefox detects an update but though the update bar loads, the upgrade never completes.

Hi bogdan.victoria,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Updating Firefox]]. There is a lot of good information in there and some troubleshooting steps as well.
If that doesn't work, you might want to try installing a fresh copy of Firefox:
http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/
I would suggest that you first back up your personal information and bookmarks, just in case. You can find details in the article [[Backing up your information]].
Hopefully this helps!

  • I have windows XP & uninstalled firefox & trying to reinstall but when I do it tells me to reboot my comp. to finish the uninstall I have done that a few times & still get the request . What can I do to reinstall it?

    I have windows XP & uninstalled firefox & trying to reinstall but when I do it tells me to reboot my comp. to finish the uninstall I have done that a few times & still get the request . What can I do to reinstall it?

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * 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.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    This isn't the fault of firefox. Firefox is a web browser, not your email provider. I'd suggest contacting them (whoever you use, gmail, yahoo, etc.) and asking for help.

    I should have added to my posting (instead of using this "reply" -  it is the server passwork it is asking for and I have never known that I had one and assumed it was the passwork I always used for this type of thing.

  • I am trying to download foxfire on a Mac. I have tried several times. It shows downloading in progress but never finishes.

    Trying to download foxfire on a Mac. It begins but goes for hours and never finishes.

    You may need to consult a Safari forum for your download problems.
    Possibly consider as a work around downloading from another device and transferring on removable media or by wifi/bluetooth etc to your Mac. (Take care to obtain the correct Firefox installer, the one for a Mac and not the one for the downloading device).
    The Firefox related advice on downloads is:
    *[[Find and manage downloaded files]]
    *[[What to do if you can't download or save files]]

  • Firefox just updated and now when I try to look at the pictures that have been downloaded it starts loading a welcome site, but never finishes. I do not know what is going on.

    I have some pictures that were downloaded from some emails. I was on AOL thru Firefox, when there was an upgrade. Allowed the upgrade & restarted. When I went back thru Firefox onto Yahoo.com to my mail site and then opened pictures it started going to somewhere that starts with: http://us.mc1801.mail.yahoo.com/mc/welcome?.partner
    It just keeps circling a green arrow like it is trying to load but nothing happens. I have tried several restarts and it does the same thing. As I type this the green arrow is still working. Do I need to call AOL support or what? Thanks Alice

  • Fetching but never finishing while trying to rebuild

    have tried to tried to rebuild my mailbox (mailbox was getting populated with multiple duplicate emails), but now, as I run "activity" it's fetching my mail--some 14000 messages, but it's getting hung up around half way through.
    and then just starting over.
    consequently, there are now NO emails in my inbox. help! how do I make sure the emails I'm trying to recover aren;t lost?
    and why the incessant loop of fetching, never finishing, and then repeating the cycle?

    Audrey:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can useiPhoto Library Manager to easily open both of the two libraries on your HD to see if there is duplication or if there are some photos that are not in your primary (located in the Pictures folder) library. If there are some you need to get into the primary library the paid version of iPLM will let you copy rolls or albums between the two libraries and maintain the keywords and comments as shown here.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Backup exchange 2010 done, unloading medium... but never finish

    Hi all,
    I'm using Data Protector 07.00 to backup exchange 2010 (with DAG), everything was fine but then exchange full backup has done DP unloading medium then never finish, other jobs will be backed up normal except the exchange will be failed on next start. I can't also abort/cancel the device after the DP unloading medium.
    please help me to solve.
    thanks,

    Hi,
    Apologies for digging up this relatively old post but I am getting the same error message as the OP, however the solution is irrelevant / doesn't work and I can't fathom it out.
    We have six Help Desk operatives - members of "Help Desk" and "View Only" RBAC. All Help Desk operatives  connect to a terminal server (2008 R2) where EMC and EMS is
    installed. The EMC works fine for all HD operatives, apart from one. When this operator clicks on anything under "Recipient Configuration" he gets the error described herein. It was fuly working until around early January 2014.
    We don't see any event log errors on the Terminal Server or on Exchange 2010 pertaining to this fault.
    Although he connectes to a terminal server, it is a one-off used for Exchange management only. It only uses local profiles. I have completely wiped his profile and seen the system build a new
    profile for him. As a test,
    I added him to "Organisation Management" RBAC group and the issue went away - he was able to enumerate all users, when removed from "Organisation Management" and the problem returns.
    When clicking on Recipient Configuration --> Mailbox, I see the PS cmdlet run is:
    Get-Recipient -PropertySet ConsoleLargeSet -ResultSize '1000' -SortBy DisplayName -RecipientType 'UserMailbox'
    He can connect to EMS and run this cmdlet without issue.
    I am at a loss as to where to go from here. Every Google results in checking the paths mentioned in KB2027063 (which are correct) or installing / reinstalling WinRM Extensions for IIS, which
    are fine, otherwise the issue would affect all users.
    Any help would be gratefully received
    Many thanks
    W.

  • My firefox just auto upgrade but Kaspersky find that it contain virus "PDM.Worm.PSP.generic"

    My firefox try automatic upgrade today and then I was warned by Kaspersky. My Kaspersky detected the file firefox.exe contained virus "PDM.Worm.PSP.generic" and deleted it automaticly.

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * 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.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Mail trying to download but never does

    Today my touch stopped downloading emails. It keeps trying to but never does. The wheel just continuously spins. Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    bb

    Thanks. Very strange because the connection should be fine and it's the same that I'm using for the computer but based on your comment I logged on to another, weaker signal from a neighbor and it immediately downloaded everything. I guess it doesn't like this particular signal I am using.
    thanks

  • Trying to upgrade but seems to get "stuck"???

    I'm trying to upgrade to the os4 software, but as the iPhone is being backed up, it seems to get stuck and doesn't indicate that anything is happening. Any advise??

    Yes we did the uninstall today... Still just the same , error message is 0xe8000065 . We then tried to follow directions that apple give, if the uninstall doesn't work, next on list is to 'restart the iPod service' the insert tins are not helpful, I could t find ' manage' in 'my computer' found services somehow which was next steo then couldn't find iPod service properties on vista. , hard work and a waste of time!

  • Mail is trying to upgrade but its taking days!

    Just bought new iMac and the first time I tried to use Mail it wants to upgrade but its taking weeks.
    Any suggestions please?

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.
