Firefox updates will not work 100% after using it for about 8 months

Since I use FireFox for 8 months every standard update will not fully install. So I always have to cancel the question to reach or become the Home website.
Last moth and sometimes before I couldn't reach it for hours...although I started up again and again my computer or try to exe the downloaded version again and again...

well i kinda fixed it i spose...
i deleted everything in appdata under mozilla & macromedia and deleted the plugins folder from my installation folder for ff3. uninstalled ff3, reinstalled ff3. now everything works fine. just have to redo my bookmarks & settings.
sorry to waste anyone's time...but hopefully if someone else has the problem, now they can fix it. peace.

Firefox not working correctly after using it for awhile

Well, I did solve one issue by updating the drivers for my graphics card. This at least stopped Firefox from totally crashing my whole computer and having to reboot it. BUT after bringing it up and using it for awhile it will stop responding such as clicking on a bookmark, trying to go to the google search window etc. Also I am still unable to use certain buttons on some screens such as the print button in Mapquest or on forums where you have to click to see more smileys and that type of action. Now this is an issue constantly not just when Firefox is crashing. When Firefox starts crashing now, I have to use the task manager to close it out, which I did in fact this morning. I walked away from the computer and AGAIN when I came back later (which happens often) Firefox wouldn't load. I looked at the task manager and the dang thing was still running from the last time I used it even though I had stopped it initially through task manager. I'm ready for an update that solves these issue. I've enjoyed Firefox but it's beginning to be a big aggravation. If there are no new updates coming out soon, can we download the version before this one (3.6.12)? I want to go back to the older version, at least it worked.

I got the same problem. need a solution. Did all the updates.

Firefox update will not work but when I follow suggested link to do it manually, it says my version of Firefox is up to date.

Whenever I open Firefox, it keeps trying to do an update. Then I get the following error message "The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed)" It then tells me to update manually at Blah, blah, blah. When I follow that link, it tells me that my computer has the latest version of Firefox. What gives?

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
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 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.

Firefox 19 suddenly became very slow after using it for about an hour.

I've been using firefox 19 since it came out and have experienced no problems. Now today after about an hour of using the browser it has become so slow to the point where it becomes unresponsive for about ten seconds when I try to switch to a different tab. What is strange is that when I run firefox in safe mode, its fine, but I haven't downloaded any addons for a few weeks. Any help would be appreciated.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, but since doing so I find that my 1Password app will not work. I have checked for 1Password updates but there are none. Is there a compatibility issue

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, but since doing so I find that my 1Password app will not work. I have checked for 1Password updates but there are none. Is there a compatibility issue

Hmmm...I'm using 1Password Version 3.8.20 (build 31499) with a fresh install (scrape and pave) of Mt. Lion on my iMac and it's working fine.
I use Dropbox to sync 1Password so for my fresh install I simply downloaded 1Password from Agilbits website and installed it.
Have you tried reinstalling 1Password? Depending on how you purchased it, download it from their website or from the Mac App store to reinstall/replace it. (IIRC v3.8.x comes directly from Agilbits and v3.9 from the Mac App store.) You shouldn't have to uninstall it, the new download should overwrite the existing copy.
As with anything else, be sure to run a backup first!

HT203421 Mac AppStore Updates will not go away after installing them

I've updated them countless times to try and get rid of them, I've tried the majority of "solutions" others have had, and it is not working. Been going on for about 2 months. Currently running OS X 10.9.1, although the issue happened on 10.9 as well. My computer is the 2013 MacBook Air. It's getting really frustrating :/

What you are seeing is normal and we are all seeing the same thing. I have read that the updates will disappear after a couple of weeks and that seems to be what I am seeing now on my iPad.

Update will not work, I get an error message that says error 7 (windows error 126

The new update will not work for me, I am running Windows Vista. I have never had any problems installing updates before, but this time I get a message
So I found the directions to uninstall itunes, I uninstalled itunes, apple software update, then I am unable to uninstall apple mobile device support. Since it says to uninstall them in order, I didn't go any futher. I did restart and got this message

Thanks

HT1491 My password in iTunes will not work, even after changing it. It keeps showing a window to add PW. I do and it pops up again.

My PW in iTues will not work. Even after changing it. Window pops up and ask for PW. Over and over.

I would be worried about that - but it may turn out to be nothing.
Since you already changed your password, you're probably OK - but I recommend looking at your purchase history to see if there's any unauthorized purchases (use iTunes on your Mac or PC to go to the itunes store, then click your account in the upper-left or upper-right corner). If there are any new purchases that you didn't make, click the button to report problem (and if they happened after you reset your password, you should immediately change your password again).
I think sometimes when you change your password and verifiy your credit card info, it can "reset" the warnings - so it may actually have been you logging in to your own account that caused you to get the warning. But I'm not absolutely sure of that, so it's best to check your purchase history (and reset your password if necessary - but you already did that).
I also recommend turning on "two-step verification" (but Apple makes you wait a few days after changing your password to turn that on). With "two-step verification", Apple will send you a text message with a 4-digit code the 1st time you try to buy something from a new computer - since a hacker won't have your phone, they won't be able to continue (theoretically). After the 1st time, it goes back to mostly working normally (until the 1st time you try to purchase from another new computer, then you get another text message - so this alerts you to someone, somewhere else, trying to get into your account).
