I downloaded the update - FF wants to restart my computer. It does not work. I can not open it and I can not unistall it.

After downloading updates - FF does not work - I cannot open it and it keeps wanting to restart my computer. I did that several times and it does not work. I cannot unistall - get the same message.

Try to run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator) or reboot and login as a user with Administrator privileges.

  • Can anyone please tell me why the "Do you want to restart your computer now" window keeps popping up every two minutes? Please help! Its driving me nuts?

    Hi all.
    I need some help. I have recently installed a new Hard Drive in my Macbook and have re-installed Snow Leopard. Since doing so there have been a few things that haven't been quite the same.
    1) Certain buttons decided they didnt want to work anymore. These being the Space Bar, the Tab key, all four arrow keys, Caps lock, Volume up, Eject, and a few others.
    After putting up with this for a couple of weeks and looking at numerous forums, they all of a sudden came back to life (Hence why I'm actually able to type this message) THEN, they packed up again. Then started again, then packed again, and so on. They seem to have a mind of their own.
    Please... does anyone know whats going on? Is it a hardware prob? Is it something to do with the way Ive installed the Hard Drive? Have I forgotten to do something?
    2) Ever since my buttons initially came back to life, the "Do you want to restart you computer?" window keeps popping up every couple of minutes.
    It's the window that says "Restart, Sleep, Cancel, Shut Down"
    It's driving me insane and I can't help but think that the two probs are related.
    If anyone out there has any ideas at all, they would be most welcome.
    Many thanks in advance

    Have you tried reinstalling the original drive? Same symptoms with it?

  • Downloaded the update to 6, FF restart = forever connecting to update server window. Whats wrong?

    Downloaded the update 6 times or so. Everything goes down as usual until the restart. I get FF5 open and a window that tries to connect to the update server forever. (actually, I let it go for a couple hours before closing it) Everyday it wants me to update to 6.0, your site warns me that I'm running an insecure version, to update, yet the update refuses to work. What is wrong?

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * 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 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.

  • After update to 10.1.3 the menus can't open normally and printing is not possibe

    Hello,
    Does anyone recognise this problem and can help me ?
    After the update to 10.1.3 I the menus open fuzzy. So I can still read the pdf , but when I push the print button, the printscreen gets fuzzy and I cant continue.
    This also happens when I try to read other menus like preferences etc.
    I can still open and read pdf files normally and printing from other programs like word f.e. is still possible.
    I downloaded the update again, but this didn't help. Then I tried to delete with the cleaner and do a full installation, but I still have the same problem.
    Can anybody help me please ?

    OK.... what I've tried so far is creating an archive..... That worked but no import.....
    I also tried Russ' suggestion of using the card reader. Interestingly I was able to import.
    Now I plug in the card and it's importing fine as I write this.
    I don't know what the deal is but it's working after I tried the card reader.
    For now.
    Thanks for the suggestions.

  • My ipad asks me repeatedly if I want to "trust this computer" whenever I plug it in to my desktop PC and I can't get it to just connect and be able to sync or access files.

    Whenever I plug my iPad into my desktop PC (windows 8.1), the "trust this computer?" popup keeps displaying on my iPad. I tap it but it just beeps and a few moments later it shows up again. Meanwhile, itunes keeps giving me error messages and giving me the message "Do you want to allow this computer to access information on this ipad?" I click continue but the ipad keeps giving me the trust this computer message every 3 seconds. I've never been able to sync this ipad with my computer yet because of this problem. Any suggestions?

    I finally was able to solve my problem. I'm not sure why it happened but after updating my iPad to the most recent iOS, it works just fine. I had iOS 8 before, but it was the first release, not the update. I have the latest iTunes on my computer so maybe they weren't compatible. Anyway, if anyone else is having this problem, make sure everything is up to date.

  • When I open up to firefox after download of 4 Betas Automaticly FireFox says it needs to download the updated 3.6 back on my computer, so do I need to redownload 4 betas again?

    Started using Firefox 4 Betas (pilot test), I closed or logged off computer for a little then signed back on, automaticly had a request to allow Firefox to update so I selected to allow. Firefox updated to the 3.6.
    So what happened to FireFox 4 Betas I had previously downloaded?

    The Firefox 4 betas by default are installed in a different location than Firefox 3.6. You appear to have opened Firefox 3.6 which would then update it to the latest version. You should still have the Firefox 4 beta installed. Check your program files to see if Firefox 4 beta is installed. The release version is normally found here - C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ and beta vesion in a folder with a name similar to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta n\
    For info the Firefox 4 release candidate is due out soon, though no date has been set it may be sometime in the next week.

  • I had downloaded the BBm app on my iPhone 5c, but when I went overseas it went into waiting mode and I have not been able to reactivate even after powering off the phone. What to do?

    I have a previously downloaded BBM app that shifted into "waiting" when I went to Europe..even after powering down the phone on my return it will not change however the app shows up in my settings and if I link through the internet I can still access BBM is there any other hints to move out of waiting?

  • Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer? I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

    It sounds like you've installed Mavericks.  You can confirm this by clicking on the Apple located at the top left of the screen and choosing "About This Mac" from the menu.  You should see a window appear with the text "Version 10.9.1" near the middle.
    If it says "Version 10.9.1", then you've installed Mavericks.  It still says "Download" in the App Store because you can still download the operating system after installing it.  This is useful if you want to download it for a friend, or create a USB boot drive.

  • I still cannot get firefox to boot up after downloading the update. Get message that I must restart the computer. Unable to delete the program so I can download the program again. Same message comes up.

    firefox message comes up every time I try to get on the interner with firefox. I received an email about two weeks ago from Mozilla advising me to download the updated firefox program. I have not been able to get to firefox since. I have tried to delete mozilla from my computer and get the message that I must reboot the system. I get the same message when I try to get on the internet with firefox. STATEMENT IS "Your computer must be restarted to complete previous upgrade of Firefox."

    Try to run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click firefox.exe: Run as Administrator).
    If that doesn't solve the problem then remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) to do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • While attempting to install the latest iTunes update, version 10.5.3, I encountered an issue. I was forced to download this update manually which, after restarting my Windows 7, did not install properly. How do I get it to install this update?

    The installer should have gone into your Apple Software Update folder:
    C:\USERS\<user name>\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update
    Right mouse click the msi file and select INSTALL

  • Trying to update MacBook Pro, OS X. Yosemite from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3 (Recovery Update 1.0). After downloading the update, the Mac flips to automatically restarts and launches "Software UpdateLauncher." The Mac doesn't respond to any command.

    Once I download the update (OS X Yosemite, 10.10.3, Recovery Update 1.0), after the system automatically restarts, the launch page is "Software Update Launcher." Looks like a typical menu bar, and the rest of the screen is blank. None of the commands work, though. Even trying to shut down via the menu doesn't work, and the only way to get past the page is a hard shutdown and restart. Once restarting, everything works as it should EXCEPT the update did not install.
    This same thing happened with the previous Yosemite update, and I wound up taking the laptop to the Genius bar where no one was familiar with the error. After running virtually every diagnostic, removing a suspected out of date security application (Intego), the decision was to restore the Mac to factory pristine state. OUCH.
    We have a MacBook Air, which has the same OS version and security and other third party software as the Pro, and it has not experienced this problem.
    I've made another appointment at the Genius Bar, but I sure as heck don't relish the idea of having to wipe my Pro clean again and having to start all over. Time Machine backups are great, but they don't restore my system as though nothing happened.
    Any suggestions or proven remedies??
    Thanks.

    Another thing that is probably relevant now that I think of it:
    I forgot that the xcode_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3.dmg file would not open on it's own. It would get all the way through the verification process and then display "invalid checksum". I had selected Skip to bypass the verification process in the hopes that it would install anyways. Just ejected it and tried to verify it again, same "invalid checksum" error.
    I've looked for solutions online and everybody just says to keep downloading it/have a wired connection and to use Safari... I've downloaded the thing 5 times now meeting both of those requirements and the exact same issue occurs every time.
