I Get the message that FIreFox needs security updating but when I try to download it, it just runs forever and doeesn't complete the download . I tryied several times but it just keeps running. I have an eMac PS10.4.1.1 Thank you.
There is not much else to add. It works fine except for the update strongly suggested by Firefox. It gets stuck on Connecting to the Update Server and stays there until I Force Quit it.

It sounds as if your account has been compromised. I would recommend logging into those accounts from your computer and their websites and changing your password.

I just updated to the latest version of Adobe but I still unable to open the PDF
When you open the PDF document in Adobe Reader for iOS, do you see a message like this?
(Tap/click the image above to enlarge)
Your PDF document is a special type of form called a "dynamic XFA form".
Currently, Adobe Reader mobile products (Reader for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support static or dynamic XFA forms created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
The message "Please wait..." is displayed when a dynamic content is not supported by a PDF viewer.
The following blog post by Jeff Stanier (Adobe LiveCycle Designer Product Manager) explains the reason why XFA forms are not supported on mobile.
Adobe Reader Mobile and XFA forms from LiveCycle Designer
You can use the desktop version of Adobe Reader on a Windows or Mac computer to fill out XFA forms.
Sorry for the inconvenience. -
We have a MacBook Pro 17" laptop with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor running at 2.33 GHz speed.
We have 2 GB of RAM and 77 GB of hard drive space.
From what we know from your website, this should work, but when we click on the Firefox icon that we placed in our dock, we get a message: "You cannot use the application 'Firefox' with this version of Mac OS X." How do we proceed from here?You are unfortunately out of luck with an Intel Mac and OS X 10.4.11.
Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:

I am wondering if these sites are trying to get me to download Malware or viruses. If I go to the Firefox site and it says that I am using the most recent version, I believe what Mozilla is telling me and ask myself "why would a site tell me I need to update"? I only trust Mozilla and will not blindly download something without investigating. Am I being paranoid?
Thanks. You confirmed my suspicions, and I hope others do not fall for this. It usually happens with the site:
1Channel
or
PrimeWire.ag (This is the name for the new 1 Channel due to its being hijacked) -
I have gone to Tools, Options, Attachments and there are programs associated that should be able to open the files - Windows Live Photo gallery for JPG files and Microsoft Excel for excel files. I have to actually download and save the files and then open them. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks, Matt, I did as you suggested and now it works!

I cannot connect to my new google+ account using Firefox 6. When I try to access google+ I get a message that I need to update Firefox, which I have done twice. I can access gmail and everything else that google has to offer - I think. Please help.
Thank youOpen System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies
Deselect any checked boxes on the left then click OK.
If none of those boxes were selected, it might be a Safari extension causing the proxy dialog.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall. -
pages is not letting me open my documents I made last week. I get a message that I need to update my software. I am up to date.
What to do?It sounds like you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

When I close Firefox, then later want to start up again, I get I message that Firefox is still running. With "START TASK MANAGER", I need to close Firefox in order to start again.
I have the same problem. Firefox won't unload regardless of how long I wait. Literally hours ... I must go in and 'end the process'. This has been a real hassle for a while now. Even considered giving up on firefox. Please look into this! An additional problem; I have to run firefox to get the updates, but I can't get the updates to take because I can't get firefox to unload so I can restart it.

I keep getting a message that Firefox is open and not responding. That I have to close the Firefox application or restart my computer. A real pain. Why is the firefox application not closing.
Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />
NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

Because of weak WiFi signal I need to use an external antenna (GSI USB wireless WIFI long range network adapter). My computer can see the signal clearly and shows that I am connected to the right network. But when I try to launch Firefox I get a message that "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." When I click "OK" Firefox tries to load websites but gives up and reports "Problem Loading". It looks like Firefox is having trouble "seeing" the signal from the external antenna. What do I need to do please?
Try Ubuntu support, I don't think your problem is with Firefox - it will use the connection that the Operating System "makes". I'm a real noob with Ubuntu myself, and don't think I can help you figure out the problem.

I was at Apple Store yesterday and they created a pages document for me. When I got home and tried to open it, I get a message that I need a newer version of Pages. I see the image before I push "open". The 'kind' is pages publication. The file does not appear in the 'open recent' list.
Just be careful with Pages 5, it is not strictly an upgrade.
Apple has actually removed over 90 features and some work can be very difficult in the newer version.
It was all done to make it more interchangeable with the inferior iOS version:
