Got an Acer netbook which has linux operating system with Firefox 3.5 installed, the check for updates is greyed out, downloaded firefox 7 but will not install, we are constantly prompted by Firefox to update as 3.5 will no longer be supported

Basically acer netbook will not allow us to update Firefox from ver 3.5 to 7, check for updates box is greyed out, thanks for your help

Hi James,
Many thanks for your reply, the machine was bought from Currys the 3.6 download warns you it will only be supported for a short time, and recommends downloading ver 7, I am unfamiliar with the workings of Linux but the machine has been good, there must be a solution, no problem if we have to pay for the upgrade. Many thanks for your help,
Cheers, Steve

  • TS1398 My iPhone 4s will no longer pick up or connect to any WiFi network. The WiFi button isn't greyed out or dimmed but the phone won't pick up any of the networks I have been connected to. I have updated to iOS 7, reset the network settings but no luck

    The WiFi button is not greyed out or dimmed but the phone won't pick up or connect toany of the networks I have previously been connected to. I have updated to iOS 7, reset the network settings but no luck. Any suggestions?

    If it's grayed out:
    Reset Network Settings - if that doesn't fix it, then Backup and Restore AS A NEW DEVICE.
    If it's still grayed out, unfortunately that means your Wi-Fi antenna quit, and it needs service.

    '''Have you tried running it from the terminal? '''
    Also make sure that your computer has the required libraries installed. Missing libraries will cause Firefox to be inoperable.
    ''Please note that GNU/Linux distributors may provide packages for your distribution which have different requirements.''
    '''Firefox will not run at all without the following libraries or packages:'''
    * GTK+ 2.18 or higher
    * GLib 2.22 or higher
    * Pango 1.14 or higher
    * X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)
    * libstdc++ 4.3 or higher
    ''For optimal functionality, we recommend the following libraries or packages:''
    * NetworkManager 0.7 or higher
    * DBus 1.0 or higher
    * HAL 0.5.8 or higher
    * GNOME 2.16 or higher
    The installation file provided by Mozilla in .tar.bz2 format does not contain sources but pre-compiled binary files, therefore you can simply unpack and run them. There is no need to compile the program from source.
    So once you run it with all dependencies, Firefox should run.

    Replaced last set of links to download page as they were affiliates links and not to the actual download page.

  • HT4623 I downloaded the new  operating system to my iphone 4S and the icons for my apps are missing? How do Icorrect this?

    I downloadedthe new operating system to my iphone 4S and now I can't find my icons for my apps?  Any Suggestions??

    If you will go to settings to itunes and apps store. Once you've logged in with your apple id you then are given the option to automatically download apps that were purchased using the Apple id in which you logged in with .
    Good luck.

  • HT1222 On my iPad mini, I did automatic update for iOS 6.1.3. It downloaded it but did not install. Install update is not highlighted  and there is a message that  a connection is required when its already connected to Internet. What can I do to install

    I click the auto update on general settings of my iPad mini for ios6.1.3. It was downloaded but not installed. Install was not highlighted with message Internet connection is required. The mini is connected to Internet. How can I install it

    Hey Beata G,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you are unable to install the software update, you may need to plug the iPad Mini into a power source. If it is below a certain percentage in power it will require power to ensure that iPad Mini does not loose power when installing. If you still have issues the following article will walk you through that process and also if you want to update the iPad Mini through iTunes.

  • Download updates download fine but does not install

    I download updates to the operating system fine but wen I try to install it it doesn't and it tells me that iPhoto doesn't worke  and try to install it later.

    Thanks for the info. One way around the problem is to download the files from Software Update and install them manually.

  • I have a MAC with OS 10.6.7 and after upgrading Adobe Flash Player to 10.1.102.64, after which I got a message saying Firefox was no longer protected against online attacks. I tried to upgrade to Firefox 4.0.1, could download it but could not install it

    When I tried to drag the Firefox icon (as instructed after downloading) to Applications, it kept "bouncing" back. I have assumed my system would not accept it.

    What have you figured out? Anything? What you show just shows a pretty quiet system except for firefox having a bunch of tabs open. You've got some page ins and outs so you maybe your'e hitting your HD with swap files more than what you think?
    I think something like coconut battery app or something like it will tell you the charge cycles on the battery. How many do you have?
    Lastly, are you using any extensions like ad blocker, or click to flash?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

  • Firefox will not install. I keep getting a message that I have to restart my computer in order for updates to a previous version can be installed.

    Every time I restart the computer and try to install firefox the same message keeps appearing. I attempted to uninstall the earlier version of firefox using "programs and features" in windows but the same message came up and thus I was unable to uninstall using that method. I have used a third party uninstall program which appeared to delete all traces of firefox including registry entries but I still have the same problem.
    I am now in the position of not being able to load any version of firefox. HELP

  • Updater will not install updates from Firefox

    Windows XP, click on Help, About Firefox, Check for updates. They download. Then I click on Apply update. A window appears saying "updater.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." Then I may choose whether to send the error report.
    There has been no update. It will not install.
    Why does this happen? The only way I can get updates from Firefox is to go to Mozilla.com and download.
    I tried the troubleshooting tips in Firefox Help and nothing worked.

    I should have explained that this has been going on for a long time. When I first installed Firefox several years ago their updates installed fine.
    Then they no longer would install, starting in July 2007 when they downloaded Firefox 2.0.0.4. After they installed that, Firefox would not even open, and I got an error message. I had to uninstall and reinstall.
    I figured out over time that I would have to go to their website and download the updates myself, each time they announced that an update needed to be installed. It would then install fine. And Firefox would open as it should. This has been the case for a long time.
    So it does work out doing it this way. It is something of a nuisance, and it would be nice if the updates worked smoothly and automatically, as they used to.
    I thought this might be some problem others users have had and would know how to fix it.
    Thank you.
