I have tried at least half a dozen times to upgrade my old 3.6 Firefox to 7.0 to no avail. The "About" window says 7.0, but my browser has the same old interface with no tabs and old Menu bar. Also, many sites, like Facebook, remain incompatible with this hybrid "upgrade". I've tried deleting Firefox from my computer before installing the new version - same result. I've tried earlier versions, like 5.0 - same result. I've tried installing the new version into a renamed directory - same result. I have Windows XP, if that matters. I'm out of ideas and need help... or a different browser.

for some inexplicable reason, I cannot get the Quicktime plugin to update from v7.7.3 to the CURRENT 7.6.6 . My plugins view tells me I'm at risk and need to update but try as I might, through all the known update avenues, it won't take. I consider myself and above average Mac User. Please advise. Thank you
Someone recently noted a problem staying logged on the Huffington Post since it became connected with AOL. The workaround for that is to change your connection setting here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network
Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change.
Not sure whether Washington Post could be affected by that same setting.
In reviewing your extensions, I'm puzzled that you have both DoNotTrackMe and SavvyConnect. The first one seems to aggressively block certain communications with websites (potentially affecting functionality) while the second one seems to report on your browsing habits (they better pay well is all I can say). Have you tried disabling both of those to see whether that has any effect?

This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

I can't even get into Firefox to troubleshoot
I don't know if this helps, but I'm still working on this problem and took a screen shot of my Console Message errors:
What's happening here is opening the program, trying to save and it crashes. Then trying to open the program again and it crashing before it even opens. Finally opening the program a third time and trying to save it using "save as" instead of "save" (which I found one forum recommending) and it crashing again. -

Cannot get past diagnostics screen after updating ios 5.1.1
I just updated my iPhone to the new ios 5.1.1. After the phone restarted the first screen to come up was regarding wi-fi. Chose my network and moved on. Next screen was strictly policy. Accepted it and moved on. Next is the diagnostics screen in which you can choose for apple to send you daily diagnostic and usage data. Regardless of what I've chosen (automatically send or don't send), I hit "next" and the phone doesn't load past this screen. I've turned the phone off/on, etc. Anyone know what's up??? please please help
If you cannot get the iPad to respond in any other way, you may need to restore the device.
Connect the iPad to your PC and launch iTunes. Select the device on the left side and then click on the Restore button in the summary pane of iTunes.
But Read this about restoring your iPad before you proceed.

If that will not work, you may need to use recovery mode. Read about that here.

I do not have administrative authority on this computer but it has never been a problem before with updating.
Thanks Corel. The computer I use at work is the one I'm having problems on. I also do work at home (where I am now) so I also have two Firefox profiles set up on my home computer. On my home computer when I updated the first profile both profiles updated, so I know it SHOULD work that way. On my work computer I did do the Help, About, version check and it told me I had the older version and needed to update, ran me through the update process but still the second profile was not updated. I will try the other two links, if the computer will let me since I'm not an administrator on it. That probably won't be until Monday. I don't really want to bug our director about it because she is so busy. I know that the Shockwave Flash and Java Plugins are outdated but they require administrator privileges to do. Something else I just thought of, every time I start that second profile at work it was saying Firefox was not my default browser, did I want to make it the default browser, I would agree, but still it would happen the next time. When I go into Tools, Options and look, it says Firefox IS my default browser. I finally told it not to check each time it starts. I don't know if this is connected to my original issue or not. Thanks for the advice and I will check it out next week and let you know how things go.

i cannot even get firefox internet browser to open whether i double click or right click and choose browse the internet what do i do since i have a lot of sites on favorites and it will be difficult to find them all again.
You will need to update to Firefox 3.6 to ensure security updates.
Get Firefox 3.6 from www.getfirefox.com -
I have a Dell Inspiron 6000, running Windows XP. I keep getting a pop-up from Firefox saying "It is strongly recommended that you down load this update".
Whenever I try to do so, it refuses to go beyond the progress box that says "Connecting to the update server". I have left it at this point for well over 30mins on one occasion, but to no avail.
I have tried both through my Belkin router and direct on the ethernet cable.
The broadband connection is one of the lower-speed O2 exchanges.
What might be the problem?If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox. -
I CANNOT GET MY FIREFOX TO START.
ON TUESDAY, 2/21/2012, MY FIREFOX WORKED GREAT. THEN IN THE EVENING, I COULDN'T OPEN IT. I REBOOTED, DID A RESTORE AND EVEN SHUT THE COMPUTER DOWN FOR THE EVENING. STILL, THIS MORNING, IT WOULD NOT OPEN. CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THIS? IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED IF SOMEONE DOES.
You may need to reinstall the latest Firefox version to recover from a system restore.
Using "System Restore" can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.<br />
You need to (re)install software that was affected.<br />
Remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a freshly downloaded Firefox copy to do a clean install.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

After reinstalling CS3 I cannot get bridge (or photoshop) to update
I had to reinstall CS3 due to some graphics issues. I've restarted the computer and bridge/ps several times...and keep hitting the update button but after updateing adobe reader..it doesn't find anymore updates. So I still have 4.0 and cannot read canon 50D raw files as well as many more issues.
I'm running 10.5.5 2,0 dual core PC chip with 5 gig ram.The Adobe Updater does seem to work in CS4 however.
A new Updater has been posted and there are a bunch of small updates for the Suite listed for downloading and installing and it would be a pain to do all of them manually.
If you have library/application Support/Adobe open while the installation is happening, you will see just how many files are being uninstalled and replaced by this operation!
I have just run the Updater (via Photoshop CS4's Help Menu) and it went flawlessly.
