I have Firefox 12 on my Windows XP Service Pack 3 system, but some websites, like Gmail, state that I'm using an old browswer and need to update. Help?
Deleted Firefox 11, cleared cache, installed Firefox 12. When I go to the "About Firefox" tab, it says that I have FF 12 and that no updates are needed.
Computer: Windows XP 2002 Professional, service pack 3
Problem: Many websites, including this one, don't see FF 12. Somehow it thinks I'm running FF 3.0 and won't acknowledge the updates. It says I'm running an insecure version and the websites won't work (I'm typing now in IE because I can't submit this form in FF)
see : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-incorrectly-report-firefox-outdated-or-in Websites incorrectly report that Firefox is outdated or incompatible]

Every time I start Firefox , I get a black bar across the top of the page telling that I am using an old version and should update , it has a learn more button and that takes me to the mozilla home page
I am using Firefox 6 and the menu bar say it is up to date . I don't know where this came from and see no way to remove it . I can be closed but will appear the next time the browser is openedYour UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' <br />
Filter = '''general.useragent.extra.firefox''' <br />
Right-click that preference and select '''Reset''' <br />
Then restart Firefox -

I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.
If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
You can verify the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account -

In Firefox 3.6 and later this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements more precisely.

Company I work for just got some new MSDN CD & DVD's and included in the pack was the official Windows Vista Service Pack 1 DVD. Just curious if anyone else has tried it with Boot Camp and had any issues? Was considering installing it but just wanted to check the forums to see what's up.
The general public release of Vista SP1 is out today and supposedly available through Windows Update, yet it does not appear as an available update when I check for it. Microsoft says that will happen in a number of cases, one being if there are incompatible drivers installed (which Microsoft knows about presumably). I'm wondering if anyone running Vista via Boot Camp has been able to access SP1 through Windows Update. It can also be downloaded, but I don't want to try it if it's not going to work. Another problem might be that I only have around 1.75 gigabytes left on the Windows partition. Any advice appreciated.

Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?
That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

In Windows 8 I received the error iTunes Library .iti file is locked on a disk or you do not have permission for this file. I can open itunes in the compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3.
I've tried changing permissions and sharing - nothing seems to work. mat be a Windows 8 issue???You also need to make sure you have both read and write permission for the file, or for the whole iTunes folder for that matter. That's also done in Get Info for the file or folder concerned.
Read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11583914 -

No GMail found using FF 17.0.1 with Windows XP Service Pack 3
I recently made FF my primary browser. iGoogle is my homepage. Using an older PC with Windows XP, Service Pack 3. I have a gadget on my homepage for GMail, but it won't open up for me, nor can I manually go to Gmail. The message I get in the Gadget box is:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.
I am new to FF, and don't understand what I need to do to fix this error.You're welcome

thanks for posting and welcome to the community,
Based from your post here this does seem to be a driver issues impacting your Broadcom wireless card that has been fitted into your machine. This Error code is actually wide spread across different Manufacturers that has the Broadcom wireless installed. At this point it is uncertain what the exact solution is. Some have rectified the issue by doing a windows update and it had installed the broadcom drivers and that had solved the issue.
Currently there are some solutions that has help some of the users. Especially from the thread below.
