Got a pop-up to download latest version, but when I went to confirm, one of the choices for type of user "Business Developer" was misspelled- a sign of phishing

A .exe popped up to "update to latest version". I wanted to confirm this was from Mozilla so I went into contact, and planned on sending a message. Two things I noticed:
1) There was not a text box for me to write out a message with my inquiry.
2) There was a dropdown for me to select- if I was a User, Advertiser, Business Developer, etc.; however, the word "Business" was misspelled- a typical sign of phishing, and not something that I would think you would not have caught on your browser help tools.
Needless to say, I discontinued and closed the browser window. One way or another, I thought you would like to have this brought to your attention.

    Please try this: Copy the files formhistory.sqlite (or formhistory) and places.sqlite (or places) if they exist and delete the entire Mozilla folder in %APPDATA% and also the Firefox folder in Program Files.

  • I have downloaded Firefox 5.0.1 4 times but the 3.6.19 version still shows up in the "about Firefox" box. Firefox says I have the latest version, but it just does not reflect it in the "about" box.

    When I tried the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th time to download 5.0.1, Firefox states that I have the latest version installed, but it still shows up as version 3.6.19 in the "about Firefox" box. And this older version is also reflected in your "educated guesses" about my current browser below.

    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

  • Using OSX 10.5.8, just downloaded latest version of Firefox which now refuses to load with the message "Application quit unexpectedly".

    I am unable to load Firefox on my iMac using OSX 10.5.8. Having just downloaded the latest version of Firefox, every time I try to load it, I just get the message "Application quite unexpectedly." When I go to the Firefox website to re-load the software, nothing happens when I click on download.

    Hello.
    Hopefully this support article is what you need:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes+when+you+open+it
    In any case, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • I keep downloading latest version but iPhone keeps telling me to update.

    I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes at least 5 times @ 3 hrs each time and I sync my iPhone to iTunes.  Each time I try to purchase a new ringtone, my iPhone tells me to update to latest version.  It's very frustrating.

  • Recently downloaded latest version, will I lose my bookmarks if I replace the old mozilla ?

    I'm currently using the 13.0.1.
    I just downloaded the latest verison of Firefox.
    The new version asks me to replace the old one.
    I'm very happy with firefox, but how do I make sure I do not lose my bookmarks and passwords and details stored on my current Firefox.

    The new - actually, any - version of Firefox is separate from your profile and from data in it, like bookmarks, passwords etc. You can of course export it to be extra sure:
    [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    I dont know, however, if this includes information on your version. See the following on how to make a copy of the relevant information
    [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    Let us know, if it helped

  • Can't open firefox since downloading latest version but think it is running somewhere in background. just can't see it.

    when I tried to import bookmarks into Google chrome from Firefox, I got message that I had to close Firefox 1st, which implies it did open; however I can't see it anywhere and I attempted many times to open it.

    I had the same issue and resolved it

  • I downloaded an upgrade but when I try to put it in the applications, it says the file is locked. when I unlock it, it still doesn't let me drag it, and reverts back to being locked when I close the window. I am using Mac Lion.

    I opened Firefox this morning and it told me I needed to download a newer version. I downloaded the new version. I got the image prompting me to drag Firefox to the applications folder. When I do that, it asks if I want to replace the old Firefox, I click 'yes' and enter my password. It tells me the file is locked. I open 'get info', unlock the file and enter my password. It claims I have read and write access privileges. I then try again to drag Firefox to the applications folder - it says the same thing about the file being locked. I check again under 'get info', and Firefox has reverted to being locked again. I unlock it again and without closing that window, i.e. when it is still showing unlocked, I try again to drag it. Same message.
    Now I can't use Firefox at all because it has corrupted the old version I was using and I am unable to download the new one.
    I am using Mac OS 10.7.2, Lion, on a MacBook Pro.

    What exactly is the error you get?
    How are you attempting this copy?
    There's almost certainly a way to accomplish what you want to do (probably best from the terminal possibly copying the entire user dir and fixing up permissions, etc.) but I'm not sure you will end up with the results you want.  There are plists in the preferences dir that you probably don't want to copy over (e.g., many of the com.apple.* prefererences).  And many apps also create more than just plists.  There may be stuff in Application Support, LaunchAgents, Internet Plug-Ins, etc.).  And this would be stuff you do want to copy.  Bottom line is it is not a trivial exercise which is probably why the system is slapping your hands for even attempting it
