How to upgrade FreeBSD amd64 Firefox 3.0.5 to current version

Folks:
Stopped working with FreeBSD Firefox approx 5 years ago. Recently needed to use the machine that this version of Firefox is currently resident on. Checked the Preferences->Advanced->Update and the updates that are supposedly automatic when "About Mozilla" dialog box is activated are not working. I recently activated the dialog box and nothing has happened. Under Upgrade history the field is blank. I do not know whether the original version of Firefox 3.0.5 was downloaded from the web or loaded via CD but I suspect "the web".
Keep in mind I am a retired engineer who always had the benefit of IT folks on my jobs until now. I have picked up Networking, Linux/Unix and programming using various script languages and C/C++ but it has been a awhile. To get this machine up and running has been a task so far and this is one of my last hurdles. I appreciate any stuff you folks can come up with to help me tackle this problem.
This forum entry was composed on a different Windows 7 version of Firefox/Mozilla
Thanks
Dick

Does http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html help? You may have to upgrade to a new version of FreeBSD

How to upgrade mac os x 10.5.3 to any version?

How to upgrade mac os x 10.5.3 to any version???

If your Mac is running Leopard (10.5.x) then in order to upgrade further, you need to call Apple and purchase an upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6.x). I have not verified this myself, but I have been told that you can only purchase this by calling Apple, and it will cost about $20 USD.
Once you have Snow Leopard, you will need to verify if you really want to upgrade further. By going to any newer OS, you will lose the ability to run any older PowerPC based software, as the newer releases of Mac OS do not include ROSETTA, which is needed to continue to run those applications. Also, if your hardware has Leopard, it may not support any of the newer Mac OS releases, so you would want to verify that as well.
After you have installed Snow Leopard, and then updated it to the latest (10.6.8) you can use the Mac App Store to purchase newer OS releases. For right now, you can Buy Mountain Lion directly in the store. If your hardware can't support Mountain Lion, but you still want ot upgrade to Lion, you will need to place another call to Apple to purchase an upgrade code to Lion. With that upgrade code, you can redeem it in the App Store to download the Lion installer.

How to upgrade Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4.0 to latest version

How to upgrade Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4.0 to latest version without installing a new copy of Jdeveloper.
I want to develop mobile applications in ADF but they are not present in 11.1.1.4 version.

Hi,
building ADF mobile applications requires JDeveloper 11.1.2.3 or (better) 11.1.2.4. However, you don't need to upgrade your existing application as ADF mobile does not leverage e.g. ADF BC. Instead it accesses data through services. So just install 11.1.2.4 of JDeveloper and build your mobile applications

Should i upgrade to IOS 8.3 for IPAD2. my current version is 7.1.2

should i upgrade to IOS 8.3 for IPAD2. my current version is 7.1.2 and ipad2 is 64gb,wifi +3g

Do not do it! I just recently upgraded. My ipad 2 is super slow. All the efforts to speed it up/optimize didn’t help much. iPad 2 doesn’t have enough memory and cpu is not powerful enough to handle ios 8. Apple made bad call releasing it (or the intention was to brick old hardware so people go to stores to buy newer hardware). To make matters worse iOS 8.3 is very unstable – my ipad kept crushing very frequently – something I never saw before. Thank god I was able to revert to 8.2. I spent countless hours trying to downgrade to 7.1.2 only to learn that it’s impossible. I even went to Apple store to ask for help with downgrading but they just said what I already knew – it was impossible. Just like mdiamond58 said if I could downgrade to 7.1.2 I would do it in a heartbeat. Thank you Apple for changing my iPad into paper weight.

How do I manuallly download the latest version of Firefox on top of my current version?

I have an iMac version 10.7.5. I'm currently running Firefox Version 14 and I keep getting prompts to allow automatic updating (currently to version 17). However, when the prompt says "connecting to the update server," it never connects. So my questions are:
a.) Is there a way to correct this problem so that I can automatically update?
b.) If not, how do I update manually (I've found the Mozilla site's explanations incomplete/confusing.) Can I just download the latest version and it'll configure to what I already have, or do I need to delete my current version and reinstall completely? And what will happen to my settings (e.g. bookmarks) if I update on top of my current version, or update by completely replacing the current version?

If there are 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 disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 17.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

you can't update to iOS 5. You can only update to the latest version available for your device, which for the 3GS is iOS 6.

How to upgrade Robohelp X5 to Robohelp 7 (or some later version)?

(Searched the forum but didn't find an answer. I apologize if it has been covered already.)
We've been using Robohelp X5 and are now considering an upgrade due to the incompatibility with current versions of MS Word. On Adobe's product page there seem only options to upgrade from Robohelp 7 or Robohelp 8 to Robohelp 9. Does that mean that there's currently no way to upgrade from Robohelp X5 to any later version? Thanks!

Your projects will upgrade but there is no reduced price unless upgrading from 7 or 8.

HT1338 how to upgrade mac os x 10.4 to the latest version?

how and what do i need to upgrade my mac OS X 10.4.11 to the latest version?

You must have an Intel Mac to start. If it's a Core Duo model with 1 GB or RAM or more, then you can upgrade to Snow Leopard only. If it's a Core 2 Duo with at least 2 GBs of RAM installed, then you can upgrade at least to Lion and possibly to Mountain Lion.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

How can I revert from Firefox 4.0 to the previous version? 4.0 will not load TextAloud.

Firefox 4.0 gave me a message that it would not install TextAloud.

Thanks for the information. I am reverting back, because I use delicious bookmarks and Firefox 4 does not have the add-on.

How reliable is the persistency of the EncryptedLocalStore in the current version of AIR?

I've seen a lot of posts dating back from 2010 to 2012 where Adobe indicates one should not rely on the EncryptedLocalStore for keeping persistent data. They have indicated they will be making improvements, however I don't see any new information about it. I'm looking to keep persistent data on multiple platforms including Android, Windows, and Mac OS.

Hi,
P1_ITEM will not storing session state,
because you did create it to page and it not exists in Apex tables where all items information is stored.
And you can not use that item in e.g. page process.

I am going to update my PC to windows 7 (from XP), how can i backup my current version of firefox and use it on the updated OS?

since support for XP is done and continued use puts my PC at risk, I am going to install Windows 7. I want to know how i can do a full back up of my current version of Firefox and then run it on the updated OS; i have lots of add-ons that I don't want to lose and then have to go through the whole process of reinstalling and customizing.
(currently running Firefox v28.0)

It would be best to be cautious with copying a full profile folder from Windows XP to Windows 7 as the file structure is completely different.

Since I updated Firefox with the current version 10.0, my browser now scrolls 3 lines instead of 1 with my down arrow. Is there a fix for this?

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 bit, kept updated to current, and Firefox 10.0 updated to current version. When I applied this new update, the browser started scrolling 3 lines instead of 1 when I hit the down arrow. Please advise if there is a fix in the works for this problem. Thanks.

That seems to be a change in Firefox 10 and later.<br />
I've seen more posts about this new "feature, but I don't know of a way to revert it to one line.
Firefox 10 has changed to scroll amount for the keyboard navigation UP and DOWN keys to 3 lines.
You can set the scroll amount for the mouse wheel via mousewheel prefs on the about:config page, but you can't do that for the keyboard navigation keys.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
There are extension that work both for the mouse and the keyboard to set the scroll amount, but they can only be set to scroll an amount of pixels and not to scroll one line regardless of font-size (height) of the text.

How to upgrade to Firefox 4 on Motorola atrix laptop dock

I have Firefox 4 one my laptop at work and love it! I just bought the laptop dock for my Motorola Atrix4G and it is running 3.6.13. How do I upgrade it to Firefox 4?

Thank you, JimHess for your help. That was deceptively easy. I spent two hours trying to find someone at Adobe to help this newbie (me) with this but you answered my question very well. Greatly appreciated.
One more query, if you will. Now that both my Lightroom catalogs have been upgraded to LR5, will I screw anything up if I delete the LR4 catalog? I apologize for asking what may be such a dumb question but I don't want to lose valuable photos and memories. Thanks again!
