II tried to update to the latest Firefox version, but I'm told to close open Mozilla windows, then I'm asked if I want to cancel the update, how do I bypass this?

I am no longer able to open Firefox browser windows. So I went through Internet Explorer to the Firefox website. I attempted to download the latest free version of Firefox. I followed the steps to install it but then a dialog box appears prompting me to close Firefox so the installation can be completed. The only way to get out of the dialog box is to agree to cancel the update. So, how do I complete the updating process?

I think I have the latest Firefox version, but keep getting messages about updating it. 1 says something is preventing Firefox from updating securely; another says something is trying to trick Firefox into accepting an unsecure update. What's going on?

The 1st message goes on to say, "Please make sure that you have the latest version of Firefox from http://www.firefox.com." Assuming 4.0.1 is the latest version, it seems this is a bogus message and I haven't clicked on the link.
The 2nd message goes on to say something like, "if this continues [the attempt to trick Firefox into accepting an unsecure update], contact your network administrator."
I started getting the messages on all 4 of our PC's (2 desktops running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, 1 running XP 32-bit, & a laptop running Vista Home Basic 64-bit) after updating to Firefox 4.0 on them. I manually updated to 4.0.1 on all thinking that would stop the messages, but it hasn't.
I loaded & ran free versions of McAfee Stinger, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and Super Anti-Spyware programs on all our PCs; each program found & repaired some infected files on each computer, but the messages continue on all.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Apparently this occurs when Firefox has problems with security certificates. There have been a few questions about this. I will try to get advice about this.
Apparently you are using Internet Explorer 9 (From your system details). Do you have Google Updater plugin installed on Firefox ?
(That been implicated in this sort of problem by one poster, and some users with the problem do have Google Updater, but some do not)

In Firefox, Hotmail won't open my browser to allow me to attach pics. If I use Internet Explorer it does. I have the latest Firefox version but still won't allow me. Been like this for several months now. Any ideas?

I admit I have an old operating system - Windows 2000 Professional

You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:

Is norton 360 ready with SafeWeb for the latest firefox version?

Some time ago I received a warning to wait with installing a firefox update because parts of Norton 360 - I think it was SafeWeb - wouldn't work. I received later a notification from Norton that Norton was now in line with Firefox. Am I going to have the same problem with Norton 360 again if I will update to the latest Firefox version?

Yes Norton 360 v5 is fully compatible with Firefox 9, See

WHAT IS THE LATEST FIREFOX VERSION FOR MAC?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>

I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8. And I am currently running firefox 5.0.1. What is the latest firefox version I should be running on my mac?

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

I am trying to unistall firefox 20 and install the newest firefox version but it won't unistall. It remembers all my data if I install again.

I am trying to uninstall Firefox 20 and get the newest version which I think is version 21? It will not let me unistall it when I go to the start menu and hit on unistall a program and then choose Firefox. It shows, " Please wait while firefox is unistalling," but it never uninstalls. The green bar never moves. I tried to uninstall it manually and then install firefox 21 but then firefox 20 came back up (after I installed the new version) with all my saved data. It looked like it did before I uninstalled it manually, or thought I did.
I don't want any of my data. Just a fresh page!
I just want the firefox startpage, no google, yahoo, etc... I can't figure this out. Apparently, i am more technically challenged than previously thought!
If anyone can help, please let me now. I run Windows 7 pavilion notebook.

*Clean Reinstall
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

The latest firefox version stopped 'offline mail' (gmail)how do i get it back

Offline Mail no longer works after loading the latest firefox.

Move deleted messages to a separate folder unchecked
Well, that’s the reason you don’t have a Trash can now. Deleted messages are being left in their mailbox instead of moved to the Trash, so there is no need for a Trash.
Before turning that setting back ON, you may want do do View > Show Deleted Messages, in case there is any deleted message that you want to undelete -- turning the setting back ON will cause those messages to be permanently erased.
BTW, why does your profile say Mac OS X 10.3.9 in some of your posts and Mac OS X 10.4.8 in others?

It sounds like that Library is damaged. Restore from your back up is the simple surefire solution.
