Firefox update incompatible with add-on virus protections. Why?

I keep getting windows popping up telling me to download a Firefox update but it then tells me that a couple of virus protecting add-ons are not compatible and will be disabled. Why would I want that to happen? I exit the update request window but it keeps showing up again later or another day. How do I stop it?

Such Problems because of add-on Compatibility. when they are made ,they fall in category of such supporting version. If they are not compitable then find there updated version or choose alternate of that.
Updating firefox gives you a greater stability as well as protection from numerous threats . So Updating Firefox is one best way to sort out this problem.

Your latest upgrade states that it is incompatible with my Avast Virus protection and others who have McAfee have the same problem. Does this mean if we update Firefox it will interfere with our virus software?

Your new recommended update appears incompatible with my and other's virus protection. How can we be sure we can safely navigate if your security on the older versions of firefox are lifted? It seems that many people are having this problem and have said they will return to Internet Explorer. Please advise as I prefer Firefox but cannot take the chance of malware and other infections. I would appreciate a hasty response.

No, it doesn't affect your anti-virus program, only the silly little extensions that some anti-virus applications install into Firefox that duplicate features which are built into Firefox = anti-phishing & web forgery protection.

The latest automatic update was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived with the same "request". Why and what do I need to do to stop this?

The latest automatic update (in March) was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived (today 7. March) with the same "request". Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it? Firefox 3.6.15 and Adobe flash player 10.1.82.76 are currently installed.

Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 is not the latest version of Flash. '''r152''' is the latest.

Will it work with my Kaspersky Virus Protection -it keeps exluding that when I want to update my version

I have been using Firefox for awhile with my Kaspersky Virus Protection - but this time, when I'm ready to update to Firefox 4, it says it will disable that program - is that correct?

Check with Kaspersky to see if they have an updated version of their extensions available for Firefox 4.

He latest version of Firefox is incompatible with my Mac. Where can I go to download an earlier version as I deleted the old one when I was prompted to update I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 Dual 2.3 GHz Power PC G5

The latest version of Firefox is incompatible with my Mac. Where can I go to download a later version than 3. I was able to download an earlier version in order to get working on Firefox. Unfortunately, I had deleted the old one when I was prompted to update
I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 Dual 2.3 GHz Power PC G5

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

I am running a Mac 10.5.8 and your software says it should be compatible with 10.5, yet it says it is incompatible with my operating system. Why?

Thanks! I agree with you completely. I love my computer, it does everything I need it to. I have no reason to upgrade to a whole new computer just because it has new bells and whistles, or is marginally faster than what I have. I'm not using it for gaming, and I don't mind waiting an extra second or 2 for internet pages to load.Firefox has been a wonderful program. it would be shame if they force us to switch to something that is not as good.

How to stop Firefox incessantly interrupting my work by trying to install an update incompatible with the Google toolbar which I depend on.that does nor

Dear Sirs,
How can I stop Firefox from incessantly interrupting my work by trying to install an update that is incompatible with the Google toolbar which I depend on. Not knowing any better, I trustingly allowed the installation the first time the update notice appeared. It crippled my Internet routines. The toolbars did not work and the bookmarks as well as all the history entries were lost, I have had to reinstall my previous Firefox 4.0.1 and start all over again.

Hi chib60,
Sorry you are having so much trouble.
Dealing with your last comment first ''"Copy and paste the information from Help > Troubleshooting Information." Why? How? This is ridiculous info - it has no logic or sense to it like most of your advice. ''
If you look to the right you will see a link for 'more system details' that is where such troubleshooting information appears, and it can sometime be helpful.
I am using firefox on a couple of old XPs without problems. Obviously crashing is not expected behaviour, but please try to think of firefox as two separate parts the basic browser and all the additional software as addons and plugins.
It may be rather unrewarding trying to track down the cause of a crash using crash information, the best way forward is probably to start using it in[[safe mode]] and with no plugins installed.

If firefox is recommended by your university, why not try it out on one of their computers, presumably it is installed on the university computers available in the library etc, that should at least convince you that it does work.
I hope the problem is not malware, but if it is all the personal computers you try, a possibility that can not be discounted is that it is some form of malware affecting those computers.
Have you tried Internet Explorer, that will be installed on your XP by default I imagine, does that work ?

Firefox 15 incompatible with HP Smart Web Printing 4.60 , also DigitalPersona 5.0.0.4375

Win7 64-bit
HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g
Firefox 15.01
Firefox, during installation, reports that two of my TM-2 2100's sotware features are "incompatible with Firefox 15.01"
They are:
HP Smart Web Printing 4.60
and
DigitalPersona Extension 5.0.0.4375
Did I miss a printer update or is/will there be a patch? Thanks!

Smart Web Printing has been replaced with HP Smart Print. For more information on that, please click here. It will tell you about upgrading to Smart Print and the differences between them. It will also walk you thru uninstalling the Smart Web printing and upgrading to HP Smart Print. Smart Print only Works with Internet Explorer versions 6-9. At this time, as of today there has not been any information on if an when a version will be made available for Fire Fox. I hope this helps.

Why is the new Firefox upgrade incompatible with my Mac now??

I love using Firefox, it's by far my favorite browser. But when I opened it this morning, it says I am no longer protected because of the older version I'm using. I want to download the new version but it says that it is incompatible with my computer. ?? This is the same operating system I've used and it's on the list of compatible OS....mac 10.5.
HELP please! I miss it already!

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

I've tried to troubleshoot downloading Firefox but it won't open on Windows XP. The Firefox Update box with the hour glass symbol runs for hours. Then I have trouble even shutting down. When I click on Firefox, no window, program won't quit, etc....

Windows XP. I used to use Firefox and it worked okay. I'm not sure why I downloaded a new version but it won't open. The window that says "Firefox Update" continues to try to load. Hour glass symbol, for hours. If I try to click on the Desktop symbol, Nothing. Then when I try to shut down, it's slow, programs won't quit, or it freezes. I've removed Firefox completely and tried downloading again with the same results. Even with the latest version. Shit. Whassup?

Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Can it reach the internet?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

10.5.0.142 update incompatible with windows 7

I unfortunately updated my desktop (windows 7 32 bit) and laptop (windows 7 64 bit) to itunes 10.5.0.142. Update seems incompatible with windows 7. It has slowed both computers to a crawl, even when itunes not running. Itunes functions do not work or process at a dead crawl. Cannot access the store. Cannot sync iphone. Tried reinstalling previous itunes version, but previous version can't access itunes library, giving error message: "cannot access itunes library that was created by newer version of itunes." Have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes multiple times. Have turned off all other processes to look for incompatibility, but issues remain. I am NOT PLEASED!.

?? System Update Incompatible with Win 7 Service Pack 1 ??

Hello everyone,
I have two ThinkPads.One's a T61p and the other is a W500. Both have Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (beta) installed and both have ThinkVantage System Update 4 (v4.00.0024) installed.
It seems the System Update is incompatible with Service Pack 1. When I try to run the System Update, it seems to start fine but when I try to get new updates, I receive the message, "An error occurred while gathering user information."
Has anyone else had this error? Will a new (compatible) version of System Update be released?
Thanks

i had the same problem got it working by adding until they update for now

Is Firefox 4 compatible with HP SimplePass Identity Protection?

I just downloaded Firefox 4, and my HP SimplePass Identity Protection features no longer work. I had all my passwords saved in Identity Pass to be entered with my fingerprint, but they are no longer recognized on Firefox 4- all passwords need to be entered manually. SimplePass no longer recognizes log on screens with this new version. Is it just my computer, or is this an issue that can be resolved?

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
