I've tried updating my Firefox browser several times, but none of the updates for the newer versions work. I'm running Windows XP and Firefox 3.5. I've tried v.6 & v.7 but they don't open/run. Help please?

As the question says, I can't seem to install v.7 correctly. I can download it. Open the file. Start to install it... but then nothing happens. When I open Firefox again (after rebooting sometimes) I still get version 3.5. Is there something I'm not doing?
Now that I look at the trouble shooting info I'm not sure. Every website I go to that requires a recent version of Firefox says I need to update my browser because it's old. I can't even access Google+ which I would like to use because it thinks my version of Firefox is 3.5. Suggestions?

Well, it says I already have the most recent version. However Google Plus still says my version is out of date.
A friend suggested I back up my bookmarks, then try uninstalling & reinstalling Firefox the traditional way, and rebooting my system afterwards.
I'm going to try that to see if there is some kind of other issue going on between Google Plus and all of the websites that say my browser is out of date (ie. version 3.5) when it is not.
Thanks!
ps. I did try what you suggested, and that's where I found out my browser version is current.

Hello! I have an HP laptop running Windows Vista and Firefox 3.6.23. I am unable to iinstall then new version 7.0.1.exe excute file for the update. Thank you, Emil Ponso

I also run Norton Internet Security, but have never had a problem updating Firefox w/ Norton running..I've tried installing the new version 7..0.1 3 times to no avail.
edit: removed phone number even though spambots may already have it.

What happens when you try and install? Any error messages? Have you tried right clicking on the installer and choosing 'Run as Administrator'?

Browser's window resizes on its own constantly and minimizes to the task bar on its own. Running Window XP and Firefox 3.6.13.

I already unchecked the "Move or resize exiting windows" option in the "Advanced" button for "Enable JavaScript" (Tools > Options > Content tab. This problem makes navigating the net very difficult and annoying, as I open a new window or tab and I try to scroll down or click on something and the window moves away!
Thank you for the help.

Srini :
Thanks for the reference. None of those criteria fit in my case. FYI, I am able to see the diagram in IE8, but in Firefox 3.5 only a box is getting displayed. That is why in my last post Hussein asked for Java Console dump, which I attached.
It seems, it is not finding fndutil.jar, though it is there in the cache. Any suggestion, regarding Firefox trouble-shooting ?
Thanks.

I have an adobe acrobat 9 Pro product key and a damaged CD, i have tried many distributions of trials but none seem to match for the activation.

Hi,

Acrobat 9 is part of the CS5 family of products so you might try downloading the trial of that and see if it works out.
You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

I can not scroll on my dell studio touchpad and I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 8.0.1.

I just noticed that I can no longer use my touchpad to scroll on webpages in Firefox 8.0.1. I don't think I had this problem a few days ago, definitely not last week. I see the scroll icon but it does not scroll when I am on any webpage. At times it starts on one page until i refresh the page or click a link on the page but then it will stop scrolling.
I am able to scroll using my touchpad in Word 2010 and on the rest of my computer.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and have a Dell Studio 1558 that is a year old.
I updated the touchpad driver from and it still did not work. Then tried the one directly from Synaptics and still not working.
I also updated Firefox 8 to 8.0.1 and it still does not work.
Please fix this as it is rather annoying.

My scroll also doesn't work in Firefox -- but does in Excel and Word. This has been intermittent for months now. Usually, if I reboot the scroll would begin working again until for no apparent reason it quits again. Now even the reboot doesn't fix the no-scroll problem. I have Windows Vista. I even did a Firefox Update to 9.0.1.
I don't have that file on my about:config page so this solution won't work for me.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Current version of Flash CC installed, but getting error message asking for a newer version?

With the latest download of Flash Professional CC, I'm trying to install the toolkit for CreateJS but getting the following error:
"this extension can not be installed, it requires Flash version in range of inclusively between 12 and 12"
I have installed all the current versions of Flash Professional CC, Adobe Extension Manager CC and the CC itself. Restarted the computer and installed all updates that it found. I have the most current versions of the applications, but I'm still getting the above error - what can I do?
Thanks for your help!

Flash Pro CC is version 13. It appears to need Flash CS6 to function. If you have CC then CS6 is a download in your cloud membership.

Firefox is crahsing whenever I try to print a document from web or email. I run Window XP and firefox version is 3.6.12

this has happened and reported 22 times since jan 2010. It may have probably started since I updated firefox in Jan 2010. The printer is a Canon LBP180 which prints all documents from any other software.

Looks like a problem with CAPRENN.DLL.

See if you have the latest Cannon print drivers installed.

Why are all my keyboard shortcuts using the "Alt" key instead of the "Ctrl" key? I'm using Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

I recently downloaded Firefox 5 and noticed that all my keyboard shortcuts default to using "Alt" key instead of the "Ctrl" key (so, for example, opening a new tab is Alt + T instead of Ctrl + T).
I noticed that this is even true for copying and pasting within Firefox (Alt + C and Alt + P are the only commands that work).
Any idea why this is happening? I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

Thanks, eveostay! That worked. (And for the record, what a crazy user agent string...)

Each time I open my Firefox browser, the tab from the last time opens. I have the browser set to open on my home page, not to the tab from the last time. I keep trying to save the setting for the browser to open on my home page but it doesn't.

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Are you talking the the Firefox Home iPhone App?

Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen

Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen and the existing stay minimized.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I think when a I updated or downloaded a newer version of FireFox at Firefox's suggestion.

Hmm that does sound a bit strange - I use a system quite similar to yours (XP, FF 3.6.3), and don't see this behaviour.
I would recommend trying to start Firefox in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] (make sure you close '''all''' running Firefox instances first), and see if this problem persists.
If not, it could be some add-on causing this behaviour - restart Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all add-ons, and enable them one by one to find the guilty one.
If it still happens in Firefox Safe Mode, some other program (or something in Windows itself) most likely is the cause. We may be able to help with this too, so let us know what works and provide as much additional information as possible to let us help you solve this.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.
