Firefox wont connect after auto update!!

Hi, for ages now my Firefox has tried to auto update every so often. After the update it would never connect to the internet, so I would uninstall and re install the previous version that i still had in my downloads list. However, yesterday it did the same thing, so I uninstalled but the old version installer has vanished from my downloads list!! So i set about trying to get the updated version to work. Allowing it on the firewall, turning off firewall...nothing. I just don't understand!! Please help!!

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

  • TS1398 Wifi wont connect after io6 update

    After doing the ios6 update on my iphone 4 i cannot connect to my wifi anymore it wont even locate it either it has been like this for nearly a week. Anyone kmnow hoe to solve it tried few things I have seen on internet but nothing seems to be working

    Try this. I just did and it worked. I have Iphone 4S and upgraded to IOS 6 this morning at home. At home I use a cisco router for wifi. My newly upgraded Iphone would only allow me to connect as a guest to wifi but even so my email, safari, and apps requiring a network did not work. My ATT network was ok. But still no safari, no email, nada.
    I went to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Then I waited. I tried to log in to my wifi again and this time it allowed me to enter in the wifi password.So, now everything is working fine.
    If you know your wifi password, it's worth a shot. My son works at the Apple store and he told me to try this reset and it did work.
    Hope it works for you.

  • Firefox 29 . Will auto update work ok without reporting missing files ?

    I am getting ready to switch from IE to Chrome or Firefox. I have read numerous complaints about the Auto Update feature on Firefox. Below is a copy of one of them. How common is this problem?

    Firefox has almost 1/2 billion users. Chances are there are many people will post about a problem even if it only affects a small minority or is fixed.
    Possibly you are asking about the Rapid Release Cycle. I think most would agree it initially caused problems mainly with incompatible addons. That problem is largely resolved now. Corporate users deploying Firefox may also have had issues but now have the option of using a different release channel of Firefox.
    Your article was apparently not attached, maybe you could provide a link to it. I would point out that discussion of Development issues is normally considered off topic on this forum. I will edit the title from
    * Is there a problem with missing files with FF auto updates?
    to
    * Firefox 29 . Will auto update work ok without reporting missing files ?
    That way the question is current and we actually expect developers to be around this week answering questions about Firefox 29.

    Try this. Download a repair disc from here.

    If you can reach the Recovery Environment by booting that, try the Startup Repair and let us know what happens. Sometimes you need to run it more than once.

  • HT4623 what do u do if your iphone wont activate after u update it

    what do u do if your iphone wont activate after u update it

    You contact the carrier it's locked to and see if they will unlock it for you.  Activation problems are almost always due to the fact that the phone was hacked to unlock it instead of being legitimately unlocked.
    Of course, this can also happen if you're trying to activate it without a SIM in it. You can not activate the phone without a SIM.

  • Satellite Pro C850 wont work after Bios update

    my satellite pro c850 cd wont work after bios update from toshiba.
    what do i do?

    Saying: dont work you mean it does not power up or what do you mean exactly?
    Did you flash the BIOS properly?
    Possibly something went wrong during the update and this means that ROM module isnt flashed properly
    In most cases a special BIOS crisis disk would be needed to get it working
    Not quite sure if you can get it fixed by your own
    Check this thread. Maybe it helps:

  • Any news on ios 8.0.3 update? Been waiting for it coz of my slow wifi connection after i updated my iphone 5s to ios 8.

    Any news on ios 8.0.3 update? Been waiting for it coz of my slow wifi connection after i updated my iphone 5s to ios 8.

    I have heard rumours of an 8.1 update for developers. I just found another bug in 10.9.5. I am beginning to think that nobody should touch any update from Apple until they can get their very serious Q/A problems sorted out. This is getting bad.

  • Older Firefox takes up quite a few disk space after auto update.

    After several auto updates, <Firefox install directory>/updated/ directory takes up a few hundreds MB of disk space. I would like to be able to safely delete it (after quite some time with the newly installed version).

    This what you can do. Go to '''''[https://www.mozilla.org Mozilla.org]''''',
    and download the full installer for the current version. After, close Firefox.
    Uninstall Firefox, reboot, and then install the program you just downloaded.

  • Iphone wont connect after update

    My iphone will not connect after downloading the iOs 5 update.

    Ok this is how I fixed this. Apparently iTunes uses Safari.
    Go to Settings -> Safari -> and Clear Cookies and Data and also Clear History - scroll down to see those settings.
    Set Block Cookies to either "from third parties and advertisers" or "Never" (you choose which one)
    In Advanced (scroll down its the last setting) make sure JavaScript in ON
    Here  is the last step I had to make to fix it - which may not apply to you.  Some time ago I changed my primary email for apple. I noticed it was  asking me to enter the password for the secondary email.
    I  went into iTunes and App Store, tapped my Apple Id and then Sign Out. I  then resigned in using my primary Apple email and password.
    Just to make sure, I turned the phone off and on, but honestly this may be optional.
    I am now working again.
    I hope this helps you.

  • Each morning I get a notice to download a Firefox security update. When I click install, I get a message saying Installing Firefox and Connecting to the update server. It never connects; the progress bar just spins all day.

    Since shortly after installing Firefo 5 I get this message every time I start Firefox. A dialog box comes up that says Installing Firefox, followed by a spinning progress bar, followed by "connecting to the update server." It never progresses past this point and will stay this way indefinitely until I close the Window.
    Also since installing Firefox 5, the program crashes at least once or twice a day and I have to quit and restart. Don't know if there's any relationship between the two issues.

    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 Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Why doesnt foxyspider work with 26.0 after auto update

    I was using foxyspider successfully for several months until firefox auto updated to version 26. After the update it will no longer download. All other functions work but files will not be saved. A new page will open and thumbnails are visible, but when the option to save files manually or select all files is chosen and a location is selected to download, nothing happens. Again, it worked properly with the previous version of firefox.. I have contacted the developer of foxyspider twice but have received no reply. If it does not work anymore, I will have to give it a poor rating. Before firefox 26.0 foxy spider was 10 of 10 but no it is a big zero.

    Hello rickster_too,
    Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support. I'm sorry that the Foxyspider developer has not gotten back to you.
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension?
    It looks like the developer isn't very active on his social media channels, but you might try reaching out there.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyspider/
    And there are a number of other addons that you can try that will work with FF26. Here's a list of similar addons that Mashable put together.

    Please let us know if this helps.

  • Firefox 8 hangs after posting updates to wordpress site

    After upgrading to Firefox 8 (then 8.0.1) I can browse the internet fine, but when I edit a post on my wordpress blog, and click update, it hangs and spins. When I check the site on my phone I see the site took the update but I can't access it anymore through the computer. Only after rebooting can I access the site once more. I'm running Windows 7 on a PC

    Your Firewall does not recognize the new version of Firefox and is blocking it from connecting. Clear all instances of Firefox from your Firewall programs list. Let your Firewall re-detect the new version of Firefox and give Firefox the necessary permissions in your Firewall. See:

  • After auto update recently, norton internet security won't work. error message:windows cannot access specified path...you may not have appropriate permissions to access item

    Firefox did an auto update and since then I cannot open/run Norton Internet Security. It won't even let me update it or re-install it. I get an error message stating Windows cannot find the specified path. You may not have appropriate permissions to access this.

    Hi
    Some required information are needed for us to help you.
    Hi NabeelOmer,
    We wonder if you have taken any action such as system restore after this issue occurred.
    You might also try this command to restore your access control list.
    Run this command to navigate to the drive letter, example is D
    D:
    To reset all permissions, run this command
    icacls * /reset /t /c /q
    Visual Studio is a very invasive program and which provides the ability to enumerate projects and solutions for system, user should never try uninstalling it manually without any guidance.
    Visual Studio made changes for your whole system, if the file has been moved or deleted this error would occur.
    Since you mentioned that you get this error almost everywhere even in control panel. We suggest you repair/reinstall your Visual Studio first and check if it could be fixed.
