Is it possible to update Firefox 3.6.25 on Mac PPC Macos 10.5.8 ?

I have got:
Macintosh
PowePC-processor G4
MacOS 10.5.8
Firefox 3.6.25
I got a message from Firefox that I should upgrade Firefox.
With the information that it´s not possible to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox. Does it exist a version of Firefox higher than 3.6.25 that is possible to install om my Macintosh ?
When I studied the actual message from Firefox I got lost and did not find information if it es possible to upgrade more than to 3.6.25 - or does it in some way exist a newer version of the very 3.6.25 that would be possible to install om my PowerPC-Mac ?

Yes, but it's not that we are in love with 3.6 for its own sake--it's that it is the only version of Firefox (or any reasonable browser) that is maintained with regular security updates for PPC. It is true that my PPC computer is six years old, but Firefox is maintained for Windows computers that are much older. So, we are grateful for 3.6.25, and hope that there will be future updates for critical security issues. We are not expecting the latest thing--just a reasonably secure out-of-date browser ;)

thank you

Each time I open Firefox, I get a popup window that says "It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible." But I have updated Firefox.

But I have updated Firefox. And if I tell it to do the update, it runs and runs and runs but nothing ever happens. It has a 'view more information about this update' link but the link does not work.

According to your user agent string you are not using the latest version of Firefox. It shows you have version 4.0, the latest version is 4.0.1
In the Help menu select "About Firefox", this should check for updates and then let you install the latest version.
If that does not work, try downloading the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com/ then installing it over your current version.

Last time I updated firefox Yahoo has taken over. I hate yahoo and would like to remove it is that possible?

when I uploaded the new version of firefox yahoo has taken over. It over rides everything and I want to remove it is that possible to keep firefox but remove yahoo?
When I put a address in the address bar yahoo over rides it and it goes to a yahoo page.

Hi All,
Have just sorted this problem. Do the following:
type into your address bar> about:config
this will bring up the usual warning that it might void your warrantee. Click> I'll be careful I promise.
in the filter bar at the top enter "Yahoo" without the quotes.
At the bottom of the list ther'll be a string named "Keyword.url. Right click on this and select reset.
While your in there if you like you can right click on any of the yahoo lines and select modify. Once once the box opens replace Yahoo by overtyping Google.
Close the tab and that should cure the problem.
All the best

After an automatic update, Firefox will start but immediately terminate. How can I fix this problem? I am sick and tired of manually un-installing Firefox!!

Since Firefox version 12, after Firefox automatically applies an update, Firefox will launch and immediately terminate.
The only solution is to manually un-install Firefox, completely clean the registry of Firefox entries, and manually re-install a previous version of Fiirefox that will work -- I use version 4.0. And then manually update that version to the current version.
I DO NOT install the new automatic update option -- that is, the automatic maintenance option.
BUT never the less, EVERY TIME I check for the latest version of Firefox using HELP --> About
Firefox, the UPDATE is AUTOMATICALLY RUN and FIREFOX WILL NOT WORK AGAIN.
I have put with this none sense for 18 versions of Firefox - MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!
Thanks, David Breed

You can use one of these to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
Can you bring up the Profile Manager to create a new profile (possibly when starting in Safe Mode by holding down Shift)?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

I've updated Firefox today and unfortunately my previous bookmarks disappeared . how can I retrieve my previous bookmark list?

I updated Firefox today and all my previous bookmark list disappeared. I tried to use the "import and backup" tab and followed the directions of the Firefox page to backup and restore my previous bookmarks. Unfortunately, nothing happened. Could you please help me with possible advice/guidance on how to resolve this? This is the second time this happens, always when Firefox receives updates..

You appear to be using the Developer Edition / Aurora pre-release version, which creates a new Profile upon installation or update on the Aurora channel. Open '''Options > General''' and tick or untick the box at the top which says '''Allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time'''. Once you restart ''[as told to]'' you will "toggle" over to the other Profile, where your bookmarks are - ''hopefully''.
If you don't like "updates", why are you using an '''alpha-2''' version that receives an update every day?

Is it possible to download firefox onto a jumpdrive so i can install it on a computer with no internet connectivity?

Hi, after the auto update ruined my internet explorer in windows, I am unable to open any kind of browser window, I cannot get to the Internet Properties from my computer or the programs. I am unable to uninstall ie8 because of missing files that came from microsoft update. I still have a connection to the internet, however, with no way of getting to it...So I am wondering if it is possible to download firefox onto a jump drive and install it on my otherwise, useless, computer.

You can download Firefox 4.0.1 from here: http://www.mozilla.com/ directly to a USB drive provided there's enough space and then move it to your PC. The installation file is only 12MB

Trying to update Firefox: download latest version, follow directions to install, when restart still have old version

Trying to update Firefox from 3.6.22 to 6.0.2
I download latest version, follow directions to install (move to app folder, drag to dock) but the old version in the dock is what opens.
So I removed old version from dock, put new version in, and restarted computer for good measure.
But when I restart still have old version...
How do I get the newest version of Firefox to be the one my computer uses?
Have tried to download and install several times over several months without success...

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Having problems with updating Firefox. It keeps on saying can not connect try again later.

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Made mistake and updated Firefox to 36.0.1 from 36.0

After updating Firefox to 36.0.1 from 36.0, the speeds of Firefox went from great to MODEM speeds. This happens for most websites. Tried going to "www.google.com" and it took 21 seconds to load page. www.mozilla.org took 31 seconds.
Tried the REFRESH option on the Mozilla site and lost all extensions and user settings for no reason as this did not help.
Any help would be appreciated as I do not like to used IE which I will have to use till this is fixed.
Thanks

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I tried to update firefox, then the update crashed. I cannot open firefox any more because the "firefox.exe" has been "changed or removed". How do I fix this?

I was trying to update firefox to open a pdf file from a website that said on the top of the page that my plugins are out of date.

Hi,
Run an antivirus program first. It's very possible you just got stung.
If that didn't fix it, reinstall firefox.
Hope that helps.

After updating Firefox 10, why do I need to reboot?

Updated Firefox to version 10 in Windows XP and after installation it asks me to reboot my computer.
How come a browser asks for a full system reboot? Makes no sense!

I understand that, my question is more specific: what file could possibly be in use since Firefox was not running and hence could be replaced.
If Firefox needs to change more files than the ones that it brings, then its cumbersome to the user and it usually brings more harm than good as it can break something else in the computer.
I'm updating the browser, not anything else.

I'm trying to update Firefox on my Macbook Pro, and it says I don't have sufficient priviledges, and I don't know how to fix that!

Updated Firefox Now Have 2nd Full Kodak EasyShare Program-'Puter Crashing 59% resources

I updated Firefox thru CNET Tracker to newest program and now have MAJOR issues! Have a Kodak Easy Share program & didn't update to the newest Kodak program due to the many issues I had read about it.
I went to 2nd Kodak program properties found this in: C:\Program Files\Kodak\Kodak EasyShare software\bin
I see that in Advanced Properties for 2nd Kodak icon under Shortcut that it this is ticked "Run in Separate Memory Space."
I don't know how this got ticked-I wouldn't even know how to create a 2nd icon with a complete program!!!! I haven't got a clue how to untick it as it is grayed out. Maybe this last part will give someone a clue in helping me as I am really desperate-my desktop I believe has crashed and if not=it will with such low resources.
Begging for help-really...
Huge issue now is that my Kodak program has duplicated in full & now have 2 complete Kodak programs on my desktop with over 8,700 pictures showing on each program which has made my resources get lowered to around 50% making my computer at risk for a total crash. The only thing I did was remove Firefox program hoping that would correct issue but it didn't=status quo.I am using my desktop in Safe Mode as that is where it went to when I turned it back on after TS Isac Not sure if my desktop already crashed?
I really need some massive help as I don't want desktop to crash out Iif it didn't already?) & I'm not too technical. Are not any virus or malware present on desktop-100% certain. .
Btw I did a complete clean up of desktop thinking that was issue with slowness and then did a restart.
Appreciate and all help in this mess~don't want to lose my desktop as that is my primary computer that I use. Many Thanks

This seems not to be a Firefox specific problem, but I will nevertheless try to make some helpful comments.
* cnett tracker could actually be part of your problem
* Official copies of firefox are available from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
** advantages: by default it keeps itself up to date does not download or install any necessary software you always get the up-to-date official version
You may wish to consider installing the official version from the above link, but do NOT use any options that offer to delete personal information.
I can not really help with the Kodak software. It is possible that what you see are duplicated shortcuts to the photos rather than the photos themselves. Or possibly cnett tracker has installed the software and your albums twice. You may be able to get advice on a more general Windows forum, or from Kodak related forums. Try for instance:
