I download and install Firefox 4, but when I restart my computer, it reverts to v. 3.5 something. How do I make the new version stick?

Firefox kept trying to update v. 3.5.?.?, usually failing. So, I went to the website, then downloaded and installed v. 4. But, when I restart my computer, it reverts back to the old version, loses bookmarks added while using v. 4, and again tries to update v. 3.5. When I look in the folder which contains Firefox, "properties" says I have v. 4, even though what is appearing is not.

  • I downloaded and installed Firefox 4, but it won't open. I have used an older version of Firfox for a long time. I now have nothing. What gives?

    I've used an older version (3.?) of Firefox for a long time. I had loads of bookmarks. I downloaded the new Firefox 4. It won't open and the older version is now gone. I use a Mac with a 400 MHz PowerPC G4 with 1.12 GB SDRAM and a 60 GB Internal Hard Drive. I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.4.11. I really need to recover the older version of Firefox or make the new version work.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • I downloaded and installed firefox 5, but uninstalled it because it is not conpatible with Real Player video downloader. I cannot download videos from You tube or other sites with Firefox 5. How can I resolve this problem? ooader

    I use Real Player to play music and videos. I also download videos from You Tube and from other sites thru Real Player which is compatible with Firefox 4.0.1, but not with Firefox 5. Please tell me why?

    Firefox 4.0.1 has been an unsafe browser since the release of Firefox 5. So please don't use it.
    Real hasn't made Real Player Browser Plugin compatible with Firefox 5.

  • Photoshop elements 13 and premiere 13 purchased, downloaded and installed... but wont OPEN/LAUNCH.. HELLP!!?

    photoshop elements 13 and premiere 13 purchased, downloaded and installed... but wont OPEN/LAUNCH.. HELLP!!?

    Hello
    My "os" is windows 8.1
    When I clicked on the PHOTOSHOP 13 executable the photo editor popped up
    along with an install option.  Then I clicked install and then a update
    failed message popped up. (I've attached a screen shot photo of that) Then
    I clicked on error log and a "please quit and try again error code" message
    popped up. (I've also attached a screen shot photo of that as well) so
    after all that I closed everything and restarted my computer and clicked on
    the PHOTOSHOP 13 executable again and it went straight to the photo editor
    not the welcome screen (where I can choose either organizer or photo
    editor)... why isn't there a welcome screen like before?
    When I clicked on the executable for PREMIERE 13 there was two executable
    options.. one that was labeled (PREMIERE 13 exe) and another that was
    labeled just (PREMIERE exe) without the "13" so first I clicked on PREMIERE
    13 exe and it took me to the welcome screen so then I clicked on video
    editor the new project but nothing happened. ... the loading bar moves then
    stops.  So after that I closed it and went back to click the PREMIERE exe
    and it took me straight to the video editor, again no welcome screen (were
    i can choose either organizer or video editor) just like the  photoshop....
    so in the end I am able to click on the executable options for both
    photoshop 13 and premiere and it takes me straight to the editor but
    without the welcome screen...
    Clicking on the shortcut icons on my desk top still won't launch though....
    So does this mean it's working because clicking on the executable options
    takes me straight to the editor? Or is something still not right because
    the program won't open/launch when i click on the desktop shortcuts and
    welcome screen won't pop up when clicking on executable options?
    Thank you so much for replying I really appreciate it

  • Have an imac with snow leopard and Firefox 3.6.13. On a prompt downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.16. Firefox opening Screen still shows 3.6.13. Have done this twice with the same result. Any help?

    Imac, processor Intel core i3, Mac OS X version 3.6.6.
    On opening Firefox 3.6.13 firefox screen suggests downloading latest version. Have downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.15 (sorry typing error in previous entry). On opening Firefox, screen still shows 3.6.13 as the operating version although "Get info" shows that updating has been done. Thinking I may have made a mistake I have done this twice with the same result. The screen is still telling me to update.
    Not really a problem using Firefox but I would like to know which version I am using.

    Your user agent in the More system details list shows that you have the Firefox 3.6.15 version
    *Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Firefox/3.6.15
    Where do you see "3.6.13" ?

    I am assuming that the purchase and download is from Adobe. You should find the information that you seek under My Orders at http://www.adobe.com after you sign in (as per John's link).
    However, if you have difficulties in going that route, please contact Adobe via Adobe Chat to discuss your order under the topic of Orders, Refunds, and Exchanges. To do that, click on the following link, and, when it opens, make sure that the topic is set at "Orders, Refunds, and Exchanges", click on the statement "Still need help?

  • I need to download and install firefox to my D drive. How do i do this as i'm not given a choice?

    i am out of space on my C drive causing me to run disk cleanup several times a day and then can only gain right at 200MB. I need to download and install a fresh copy to my D drive but i am not given an option on where to download or install to. How do I download and install Firefox to drive D?

    You need both SP1 and SP2 to be able to run Firefox. <br />
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/system-requirements/ <br />
    And getting rid of SP3 probably isn't wise from a security standpoint.
    Have you looked through your "data" to see what '''''can''''' be moved over to the D:/ drive? Also you should consider moving the Windows TEMP files over to the D:/ drive.
    Also, with WinXP it is a good idea having at least 15% of each logical drive "free" so that the Defrag service can be run; TEMP files cause the most fragmentation on the drive.

  • I've downloaded and installed photoshop cs6, but I can't find it on my mac air.

    I downloaded and installed creative cloud, and I then downloaded Adobe Application Manager, and from that I downloaded and installed Photoshop cs6. When I clicked on 'launch app' nothing happened. According to the application manager I've installed photoshop, yet I can't find it anywhere on my mac air, all there is are a bunch of folders, but the actual program of photshop is nowhere to be found.

    Ficam56 if you go to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers do you see a listing for Photoshop there?  If so please run the uninstaller and then reinstall.

    That message usually indicates that your phone was hacked to unlock it from the original phone carrier, then when you updated or restored it locked back to that carrier.
