How do I get the updated version of Firefox 3.6.19 to open up in Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 as it keeps opening in 3.6.17 and upgrading when in KIS 2011 elicits error messages?

My issue is with updating Firefox in KIS 2011 safe run mode. I recently upgraded my Firefox web browser OUTSIDE OF KIS SAFE RUN MODE to Firefox 3.16.19. When I clicked on KIS safe run mode I expected the upgrade to take effect. This was not the case (still version 3.6.17).
I then tried to upgrade the Firefox browser IN KIS SAFE RUN Mode and received the following error messages "software update failed" or "the update could not be installed please make sure their are no other copies of Firefox running on your system and try again."
I thought if I killed the Firefox process outside of KIS safe run and ran it as an administrator it might work- it didn't - just opened 3.6.19 outside of safe run mode. I then tried to update manually when in safe run mode and received a side-by-side configuration error. I am a basic computer user not a techie and could use some help that hopefully isn't to complicated for me to enact!
Thanks in advance

    You can force 5.0 "compatibility" with the "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Compatibility Reporter]" extension, or with [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility extensions.checkCompatibility] using about:addons.
    For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox
    * ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
    :or with the latest of version 3
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html
    When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

  • After updating to Firefox 5.0 I can't open Adobe pdf's on websites and in the preferences for Firefox it states it's incompatible. If this is the case how can I get the old version of Firefox back?

    I can't open pdf adobe reader files from websites since updating to 5.0. If it truly is incompatible with the update then I need to know how to go back to the older version of Firefox so I can access these files.

    Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
    *[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If that works post back for further advice.
    Next step, if safe mode did not work.
    <u>First: Try a clean install, <sub>(you have had a none standard version installed previously)</sub></u><br /> that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
    See
    * this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
    <u>Second: try a New Profile</u>
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
    * this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
    **[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
    ** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
    ** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
    ** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

  • When I try to move the new firefox icon into my OSX applications folder I get a message telling me I don't have permission. How can I get the new version of Firefox into my applications folder?

    I downloaded the new version of firefox for Mac OSX.
    I dragged the firefox icon over my applications folder.
    A message window asked if I wanted to replace an older version of the application. I clicked "yes".
    Another message window popped up and said I did not have permission.
    What now?

    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 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.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.

  • How do I get the android version of Firefox to show my sync key OR export my bookmarks?

    This is so aggravating, I have spent hours and hours now trying to get my bookmarks out of my Android device, to no avail.
    There are two addons out there, none of which work with the current version (18) of FF.
    So I took the about:synckey plugin (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/aboutsynckey/) and updated the install.rdf with the android GUID and bumped the em:MaxVersion. Now it installed! WOHO!
    But didn't work. :-(
    Googling I managed to find a post in http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/941765?page=2 where cor-el points out that the code is wrong. So I make the fix: The call to get the key should supposedly be 'Weave.Utils.hyphenatePassphrase(Weave.Identity.syncKey)'.
    I reinstall and try again, but no dice. I try to insert an alert. No dice. The Javascript doesn't seem to fire.
    I try on the desktop, and it works! Well, I don't have a key, but the alert fires as least.
    Does Android require signed packages for JS to run, or what am I missing here?
    The fact that there is no way to get the sync key out of FF for android NOR export bookmarks is, to use a strong word, retarded. Googling around there are many many threads from people who have, like me, lost their recovery key. It's aggravating because the data is there. I have my bookmarks on the device. I know the key is in there or it couldn't decode them. There's just no way to get at it because everything is locked down.
    The JS looks like this (oh great, no preview here. How nice):
    <script type="application/javascript;version=1.8"><![CDATA[
    window.addEventListener("load", function onLoad() {
    window.removeEventListener("load", onLoad, false);
    Components.utils.import("resource://services-sync/main.js");
    let synckey = Weave.Utils.hyphenatePassphrase(Weave.Identity.syncKey);
    document.getElementById("synckey").textContent = synckey;
    }, false);
    ]]></script>
    One thread suggested 'jailbreaking' and then somehow exporting the sql-lite(?) database containing the key, extracting it from there. I'm not doing that. This isn't supposed to be hard, this is supposed to be three clicks and you're done.
    For the love of all that is holy, someone add Export Bookmarks to the Android version so we can get on with our lives.

    This is because the directions you are seeing are out of date. They applied to Firefox < 10.
    The only way to get data out of the Firefox for Android profile is to use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/copy-profile/
    This data is not directly importable into Firefox desktop. It would require some inspection of the SQLite databases to accomplish what you want to do.

  • How do I get the Linux version of Firefox to allow me to download mp3 files instead of playing them in Firefox (the windoze solution doesn't work for Linux)?

    I've tried to modify a couple of "media" settings in about:config, but it still plays mp3s instead of allowing me to save them. In applications, mp3 audio is set to "Always ask".

    Did this behavior change after an update, or has it continued for several Firefox versions?
    Is there a visible player? If so, can you right-click it and see whether you get a plugin menu or a standard Firefox context menu?
    For some plugins, there is a separate configuration dialog to indicate which kinds of content they will handle (I recall QuickTime having such a dialog).
