Firefox will not update after installing new version

I have repeatedly updated Firefox (both by updating and by uninstalling completely and re-installing a fresh copy of the latest version) and when I go to HELP > ABOUT FIREFOX it shows I have version 6.0.2
BUT
SEVERAL sites (including Mozilla.com) give me pop-up notices saying I am using an outdated version of Firefox and need to upgrade. Firefox on this PC even looks and acts different than it does, for example on my other Windows 7 PC (which also has v 6.0.2)
HOW can I get Firefox to actually fully update itself and not only report that it's the latest version (I see that in the config it's reporting v 3.0.11) but to act like the latest version?
Like I said, I have tried uninstalling it completely and installing a fresh copy downloaded from Mozilla.com.

  • Itunes will not update to a newer version.

    Itunes will not update to a newer version. The error received sates an older version could not be removed.

    The error is specifically an older version of Itunes could not be removed.
    Many thanks, alex. We'll first try the iTunes variation of my standard instructions, then.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • ITunes will not start after installing newest version

    After installing the newest version of iTunes, I click on the iTunes icon and the license agreement flashes on the screen and disappears before I can click on the agreement. I am running Windows 2000 professional edition. Quick time will also not start. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, with and without firewall software running. Nothing seems to help.

    hi Rachel!
    No error messages, nothing. The hourglass is next to the mouse for about 3 seconds.
    okay, if it's not NIS 2005 related, let's first check up on this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386
    ... but by the sound of it, you might need to check on this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
    if it turns out to be a weird start-up item to blame, would you mind letting us know what it's called? (there's a hint that there's a new kind of malware out there causing "the flash" and possibly some other start-up problems.)
    keep us posted.

  • Acrobat 8 Professional will not Reactivate after installing new MBO

    I have installed a new MBO and Processor. the HD has not changed all programs requiring reactivation have ahd no issues except Acrobat 8 pro

    Dear vernon dygert,
    Thank you for your purchase of downloadable Adobe products.
    For your records, we have included your serial numbers below.
    Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (Windows,English)
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Deactivations are counted. I would like to know the number of deactivations that are allowed. Without knowing, I would call Adobe before doing anything and have them put a notation in your file of what you are going to do so that if you have a problem with activation you have something to refer to.
    I received a letter from Adobe about this and their assumption is that if you do too many deactivations then you are trying to run Adobe on more that 2 computers. In my case, I used to many deactivations screwing around with different raid configurations.

  • Touchsceen will not work after installing new hard drive

    Hello,
    My HP TouchSmart 520 - 1047 c PC's hard drive crashed this week.  I went out and purchased a new one, installed it, loaded my Windows 8 Pro disc in, and got it back working.  The only issue so far is that my touchscreen will not work.  HP support says it's a hardware issue and was no help. 
    Please help.
    Thanks,

  • Firefox will not restart after installing firefox sync under Snow Leopard Mac OS X

    Firefox version 3.6.10
    Mac OS X version 10.6.3
    A similar problem also appeared in Xmarks

    One side effect of all the Java updates that have been issued lately has been that some poorly-maintained Java applets have stopped working.  The only solution, if this is the problem, is to request that the applet be updated.
    Ask your bank's tech support if they support Java 1.6.0_33.  If they don't know what you're talking about, ask to talk to a more senior representative.  Continue this until you get someone who knows what you're talking about and can help you.  If nobody knows what you're talking about, switch banks, because you don't want these people in charge of the electronic security that protects your money! 

  • SSRS 2008 - report layout not updating after uploading new version

    So I changed the layout from portrait to landscape on a report, uploaded it again (marking it to be overwritten), but when doing a print preview or actually printing the report to the printer or pdf, the layout has not changed.  Is something being cached?
     I even deleted the report and uploaded again, still the same thing.
    suggestions?
    [edit]
    I looked oln the 'Execution' tab of the report in ReportManager, and the radio button for "always run this report with the most recent data" was selected.

    Disregard...  duh, I was loading them from a previous folder that had older reports in it.  Nothing like stupid user error to waste an hour.
    Note:
    Make sure you know where your loading your RDL files from 

  • HT1338 Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

    Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

    Sorry for being unclear.
    When I am using the update in the App Store App, there will be a list of various applications that have updates to be installed (Final Cut Pro will be in this list).  I will already be logged in with the Apple ID I use for everything (my dev account).  I will be able to update all of the other various applications needing updating except for my Final Cut Pro.  When I click the update button next to the FCP update, it will give me an error saying  "This download is not available for this apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled"
    I have not had any applications refunded or cancelled and this has only happened since my update to Yosemite.  FCP was working fine until the upgrade.  Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

  • My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

    My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.

    2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.

  • IPhoto will not update after Mountain Lion install

    Installed Mountain Lion last week. Running software update results show an update available for iPhoto but iPhoto will not update to the latest version using the APP store update interface.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite.

    Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite. All the other CS4 apps open. I upgraded Java. Genius Bar could not get it to launch.

    Here's the fix I found, by way of an explanation...
    Snow Leopard prompted me on my first startup with the following error:
    "There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
    The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco. I figured Snow Leopard probably wanted to replace these fonts with newer versions, and so I clicked "Move to Trash" on all four.
    Apparently 10.6 trashed these fonts but didn't replace them. This was causing Photoshop to crash on load.
    So I restored my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup made just before upgrading and this time after a reboot I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Photoshop... everything is back to normal!
    Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps. Should I report this as a bug?
    Thanks for the ideas!

  • Telephone will not work after installing fax wizard

    I have  a new HP Office Pro 8615.   After I installed the fax wizard, my telephone quit receiving or sending calls.  The only incoming call will ring on the fax.  Can I uninstall the fax, as I do not need it?

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your telephone will not work after installing fax wizard, for your HP Officejet Pro 8615. I am happy to help!  What is the Operating System you are using? Windows or Mac? What version? If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos. If you do not need the fax, all you should have to do is unplug the phone cable from the back of the printer. That will prevent the printer from using the fax function.  If your phone continues not to work, I would consider contacting your phone provider.  Thank you for posting!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”
