Firefox won't update. Keeps asking me to reboot.

I updated to firefox 5 and since then when I click on the icon it tells me I need to reboot my computer. I have rebooted several times and I still keep getting the message that I need to reboot my computer to finish updating firefox.

I too am having a similar problem. I am trying to install Windows in a newly created Boot Camp partition. I have Windows 7 but Boot Camp Assistant only mentions XP and Vista. I put in my installation disk of Windows 7 but it refuses to install it. My OS is fully up to date.

  • I upgraded to Firefox 4.01 but it keeps asking me to reboot whenever i want to launch the program even after rebooting for at least 7 times

    I have rebooted the system many times but I am not able to launch Mozilla F. 4.01. After upgrading it, I cant even redownload it or go back to the older version: it keeps asking me to reboot the system everytime I try to launch. Please HELP! I highly dislike IE! besides I got all my bookmarks with Firefox.

    You can do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not 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.

  • I have firefox16.0 and would like to update to the most recent version (19). But my Firefox won't update

    Hi there
    I've got windows vista on my computer, and am using Firefox 16.0. Have been for a while now, ever since it was installed a year ago or so.
    The thing is, Firefox won't update to the latest version (currently version 19 I believe), neither automatically or manually. I've tried everything, including using the "help" function. The window only says it's Firefox 16.0, but when I click on "update", the page just refresh and that's it, nothing else happens. I've checked all other settings, and it looks like all the right boxes are ticked, including "update Firefox automatically".
    Coming to think about it, on my wife's computer, we are always told about new updates for Firefox. On this one, no update alert of any sorts since it was installed a while ago (and again, all the right boxes being ticked)
    Please can anybody help? Should i reinstall Firefox altogether?
    Thanks for your help
    Frankie

  • Installed Firefox 4 but wont complete, keep asking me to reboot (have rebooted multiple times)

    I downloaded Firefox 4 and it asked me to reboot to complete the installation. I rebooted and when I tried to launch it it keeps asking me to reboot (have done multiple times). I tried to remove the program and start over and when I try and remove the program it asks me to reboot. So, I cant even get rid of it and start over. Ack Help!

    I found a dirty solution for this problem:
    # I deleted the Firefox folder in Program Files (the profile is not in this folder so I keep all my bookmarks, passwords,...)
    # I re-installed Firefox 4
    Now Firefox 4 works well without rebooting the computer.

    The solution is to delete /Library/Printers/hp/Frameworks/HPSmartX.framework and re-install the HP package once.

    Hi,
    Please try the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''.
    (To revert to the previous profile you were using, close the new profile (i.e. exit Firefox), start Firefox and choose the '''Default User''' profile.

  • My computer asks me to reboot prior to installation. I removed an earlier version. I have restarted my computer several times, but it keeps asking me to reboot. I cannot install 3.6.

    My previous version of Firefox would not update successfully. so I removed it from my computer. I was asked to reboot. I did. when I went to download the new version 3.6, apart from internet explorer trying to block it, it keeps asking me to reboot. The final screen, which will install, cannot be accessed. If I say, no I don't want to reboot, I cannot get anyfurther. If I reboot, the same thing happens again. Any ideas!

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Boot Camp Assistant won't work - keeps asking me to use Software Update.

    I am trying to use Boot Camp to install Windows but my Boot Camp Assistant won't work - it keeps asking me to use Software Update. So, even though I know everything is up to date, I start Software Update and it confirms that indeed everything is up to date. I try Boot Camp Assistant again, but the same message appears. I search every possible Boot Camp upgrade to download from Apple but they are all .exe files and need Windows to run, so those don't seem to be what I need. So I am caught in a circle of nothing working. Figures - the ONE weekend I need to install Windows and use a Windows-based program!!! And of course Apple support is closed over the weekend - another great asset to spending thousands of dollars on a product. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    I too am having a similar problem. I am trying to install Windows in a newly created Boot Camp partition. I have Windows 7 but Boot Camp Assistant only mentions XP and Vista. I put in my installation disk of Windows 7 but it refuses to install it. My OS is fully up to date.

  • Downloaded updated Firefox and now I can't open Firefox at all, it keeps telling me to reboot. I have rebooted 5 times. Any ideas?

    I had Firebox 3.6 Just downloaded the updated Firefox 9.0. Everything seemed to run fine in the intallation but I can not open the browser. It keeps prompting me to reboot to finish the installation. I have rebooted and shut down completely. It continues to prompt me to reboot. I really need the brower to open, I'm going to lose all my bookmarks and I hate Internet Explorer.

    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.

  • I downloaded Firefox 7 but it keeps asking to upgrade my foxfire.

    I thought I already had Firefox 7 the newest upgrade but my computer keeps asking me to upgrade to 3.6...I would like to know which Firefox I have.

    Remove "MacKeeper" as follows. First, back up all data.
    "MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and immediately emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the other functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
    ☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
    ☞ Let MacKeeper delete its other components before you empty the Trash.
    ☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.
