Is nginx part of a Firefox update?

My wife updated Firefox and received this :
Welcome to nginx!
If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required.
For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org.
Commercial support is available at nginx.com.
Thank you for using nginx.
Is this legitimate?

Firefox, if downloaded from the official Mozilla website, does not ship with anything other than the browser.

<strike>Unfortunately, it seems your wife's computer is infected with a virus, and a pretty difficult one at that. It seems to change a lot of settings and system files. You would need to go to Windows Safe Mode to repair these files, in addition to running antimalware scanners.
I cannot find a simple guide to follow so I recommend posting on a forum specializing in malware removal to receive step by step instructions personalized to what is found on your infected computer:

  • Since the most recent Firefox updates, I am having trouble with certain features on The New York Times website; I can no longer see certain weblog comments, or post comments, etc.

    This question is admittedly a little complicated. The New York Times website has a number of weblog pages which include brief stories followed by space for readers to leave comments. You probably need to be a Times On-Line subscriber to really see what I'm talking about, but some examples would be this City Room blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/bloomberg-cancels-radio-talk-amid-furor-over-aides-resignation/ or this Arts Beat blog: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/theater-talkback-remembering-jerry-leiber-a-reluctant-pioneer-of-the-jukebox-musical/
    Since the most recent Firefox updates, when I view these pages, which traditionally have a number of reader comments at the bottom of the Times' story (or at least a space to leave a comment), I can no longer see the comments. There's simply empty. blank space. I know that the comments are there; if I open Internet Explorer and log on to the same page, the comments are suddenly visible. I don't understand where this problem has come from. I haven't noticed whether I'm missing seeing anything on other websites yet.
    I also cannot post comments on other parts of the Times website; while the pages dedicated to story-specific reader comment seem to load correctly and the space to type my comment does appear, I can't actually submit the comment. Repeated pressing of the "submit" icon has no effect. Once again, this works normally in IE.
    For the record, in the past week, I have changed my computer's anti-virus software from McAfee to Norton 360. I run Windows XP. If there's any another information I can provide, please advise, as I vastly prefer running Firefox to IE.

    If it happens again then try to reload the website or clear the cache and the cookies from that website.
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.

  • My Firefox updated about 2 hours ago. Now it crashes everytime I try to open it. Could someone please help me? I am now stuck on IE :(

    My Firefox updated about two hours ago. When I tried to open it after the update, it crashed and so I chose to start a new session. Now it won't open and I get a message saying "Firefox has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to this problem... Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Please help.

    Have you tried closing the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it
    Have you tried closing the app via the taskbar ? (I assume that your iPad is on iOS 6, though the version that your tagline shows, 6.1.6, is not a version for iPads) From the home screen (i.e. not with iTunes store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • When i search via mozilla i now have to go via mystart incredimail, which i thought i had uninstalled long ago, do you have any association with incredimail and is is now part of mozilla firefox 4 ?

    Question
    when i search via mozilla i now have to go via mystart incredimail, which i thought i had uninstalled long ago, do you have any association with incredimail and is is now part of mozilla firefox 4 ?

    Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

  • The adware that came with the Firefox update is keeping me from using Ebay.

    The ads are popping up everywhere on ebay.
    There are no instances of adchoice in remove programs.

    Hi oldman12,
    Sorry you are having problems.
    You will not have got adware from a Firefox update unless you are using some none official site that bundles Firefox with adware &/or modifies it (possiby illegaly).
    You did not provide full troubleshooting information. You did provide a plugins listing whilst posting the question. Your plugins list includes
    * MindSpark Toolbar Platform Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows
    That is probably not good. It is probably part of your problem.
    This guide may help you with the mindspark problem.
    * http://malwaretips.com/blogs/pup-optional-mindspark-removal/
    It also offers some advice,and may at the same time help with other malware or adware you may have.

  • Firefox Update Requires Admin Privs, But Does Not Check and Just Displays Misleading Message

    Firefox attempts to perform an update from an Non-Admin account, the Update File is downloaded, the update is begun but the following misleading message is displayed...
    "unable to install firefox update make sure no firefox applications are open and then try again"
    ...and the message is displayed each time Firefox is activated.
    '''Explanation'''
    In order to perform the update, the protected file; ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'' must be opened with exclusive access. This fails because Non-Admin account may not modify files in the ''C:\Program Files\'' folder. (Did Not Fail because it is open by another process)
    Performing the Update from the Admin Account executes properly. After Activating in Non-Admin Account, misleading message still displays, Firefox opens and includes "Updated" page showing 14.0.1 have been installed. Deleting the files from: ''C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0'' eliminates problem.
    '''These issues need to be addressed by Firefox Development:'''
    # Before attempting Update, check for Admin Privs. If not, then just notify Update is available.
    # Modify Error Message to reflect true meaning for failure (system can be modified that updates are only possible by specific Admin account rather than Admin Group).
    # When applying Update, delete other Update Pending files in other user's Directory Trees.
    Will a Firefox Developer Please Respond?

    Thanks for the link. I have submitted a Bug Report on Bugzilla. Will post back when there is a response there.
    And this is more than "plausible", it is "confirmed" (if you watch MythBusters). There are update log files that clearing show what is happening and why.
    The most disturbing thing about this "bug", is that it clearly shows that nearly everyone is performing there "normal" activities (browsing, email, etc.) from an account with Admin privs. This means that when ('''not "if"''') the latest version of an infection gets past your AV shield (they can only block the ones already reported), it has access to every sensitive part of your system. I could give a long explanation of infections with a lot boring details, but just believe this:
    '''Never perform "Normal" net activities from an account with Administrator privs.'''

  • Why is Firefox "Update" burried so far down in the menu?

    Why is Firefox "Update" burried so far down in the menu? I know where it is but others have trouble finding it. Why not bring it out into the light?

    ''the-edmeister [[#answer-695435|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    Not every user is going to receive the update on the day it is first released, for a couple of reasons. One is to spread out the load on the updates servers over a few days; not every "ping" that checks for the availability of an update will result in the update being downloaded and installed. Some users may not get the update for a few days, depending upon how often that use Firefox or launch Firefox. ''(Firefox "pings" the update server to see if an update is available as part of the startup routine once a day. For users that keep Firefox open for days at a time and keep their PC running 24/7, they won't get the update until they restart Firefox.)''
    The second is when a suspected "issue" is found during the 4 or 5 days prior to the release date, when the "Release Candidate" builds are being tested. In such a case, Mozilla will "throttle" the update server to limit the number of users that get the update. That way far fewer users are inconvenienced with a potentially problematic "build" If it turns out that a "chemspill" build is needed to fix an "issue".
    </blockquote>
    Yes, at last, a simple (for non techie users) responsible answer, accurate, and.......analyze exactly how the update works in firefox. I love that, simple, clear answers for simple questions. :-)
    thank you the-edmeister :-)

  • Firefox update

    I disabled the automatic update function, but the firefox without any permission updating itself to version 4.0, i prefer to use version 3.6.14 because the version 4.0 have some very unpleasant sideeffect.
    Version 4.0 not restore the desktop, the residues of pop up menus what out the window boundaries remain on the screen, also the part of window remain over the gadget area.
    Every time must restore the desktop manually.
    The questio is why the Firefox update itself to 4.0 when this feature are disabled?

    By using v3.6.14, you are not only putting your system at risk, but also your personal finances.
    There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. See http://blogs.comodo.com/it-security/data-security/the-recent-ra-compromise/
    The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.
    Update to 3.6.17 by clicking Help | Check For Updates. A number of bugs were also addressed in that version which may also fix your current problem.

  • Why does Firefox Update throw away all customization?

    Every time Firefox updates, it completely throws away all of the toolbar arrangements and other customizations I have worked hard to optimize.
    If you want people to update for "security reasons," why do you muck around with my GUI?
    I spend a lot of effort trying to get the buttons where I want them and I configured plenty of little hidden features in about:config so that the browser works right, all for nothing....
    Guess I will have to reinstall the old version I had and totally start over, this time turning update to "Never check for updates" to avoid wasting my time in the future.
    Sorry for being pissed off. I appreciate security updates, but there is no reason to force a funky GUI on everyone, and this really is a humongous waste of time needing to redo all of my settings yet again.

    Hey,
    Sorry about this issue with GUI changes, I hadn't heard of it before :/ The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
    If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues. Hopefully they'll be able to do something about this.
    Thanks!

  • Since Firefox update (34.0) the functionality of InstantFox 2.8.9 has been curtailed. Help?

    Look I know I will most likely need to also contact InstantFox 2.8.9's support pages but to my mind it makes more sense to ask for help here! Also I know my browser is probably a bit too 'top heavy' with my choices of extensions for the smooth working of my current 'ancient' laptop... But they suit me as is and, for the moment, I can I live with the eccentricities most likely caused by this present configuration...!
    Since this update wherein the Search functions of Firefox have been tweaked InstantFox 2.8.9 has lost parts of its functions:-
    1) The toolbar button which opens the dropdown box containing my preferred list of search engines has disappeared from the toolbar and the about:customizing Firefox page. It is a real hassle to have to access it via the Add-ons Manager since I cannot always remember all of my shortcuts for quicksearches.
    2) Also the quick access to the above has been removed from the Tools menu.
    3) The list of search engines has disappeared from the context menu which was very useful for a quick specific search from any highlighted text.
    4) Firefox's own Search Manager does not contain this list but they do seem to be seeping in. But... for instance I do not need Amazon.com; I need Amazon.co.uk
    As far as I can ascertain my shortcuts for quicksearches are all still functioning. By the way the functionality of InstantFox 2.8.9, when unencumbered by contradicting tweaks, is definitely much more to my liking!
    Maybe your developers could liaise with InstantFox 2.8.9's developers... to tweak search operations to perfection! Sorry guys but am not savvy enough to be a developer or whatever [I surf (et al) holding on for dear life by 'the seat of my pants'!] so am unsure if I am making sense! Therefore also unsure if my assumptions are correct. Please politely inform what is really happening here. Have been rather reticent to contact you since, once before, was very rudely reprimanded when I tried to ask a question on another Mozilla forum...
    So is it possible to get InstantFox 2.8.9 working at optimum again or can I suppress Firefox's new Search capabilities so that it will work unhindered...?
    Many thanks to you all,
    Regards from,
    Ian.
    P.S.: Apologies if this reads too sarcastic for you. Please forgive me have, on and off, spent most of today frustratedly trying to work this out whilst, amongst other things, the communal Central Heating here has failed. On a Sunday, no less, when I cannot get in contact with the Housing Association... and so on... Peace

    Hi Philip,
    Many thanks for the heads up re the lack of a grace period for add-on developers this time around. Recent Firefox updates have all seemed to eradicate more and more of the eccentricities that my browser configuration experiences... So this update was a surprise which caused me much...
    Forgive my tardiness in replying but even though your suggestion was most informative and useful it did not rectify the problem. So, as you suggested, have waited till today when InstantFox sent out their update. Thankfully now all is working as 'on the box'!
    Just one question:... I assume that I should leave Firefox's own search interface 'suppressed'? Don't want to go messing with about:config unless I have to!
    Again Many Thanks and Regards from,
    Ian.
    P.S.: Where can I learn about the meaning of about:config items and other 'languages' working in the background?

  • I would like to know it it's possible to change the scroll bar from the right part of the firefox browser, to the left part and, if it's possible, how can it be done. Thank you!

    The scroll bar (the one used to scroll up and down any kind of website), that is normally in the right part of the firefox browser, would be of much help to me if it could sometimes be moved to the left part of the browser. Is this possible? How can it be done? Can anybody tell me the exact steps to take in order to do this (if it is possible of course)? This would be helpfull to me, since I think that the firefox scroll bar is overlaping the scroll part of the facebook chat sidebar, since I just can see a few people on this facebook chat sidebar and I can´t scroll along it, as I could a while ago. So my guess is that the firefox scroll bar is covering the other. In order to solve it in a simpler way, I guessed that if the firefox scroll bar could be moved to the left side of the browser, this problem could be solved. So, can anybody help me?

    http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.scrollbar.side
    Type '''about:config''' in Location (address) bar
    filter for '''layout.scrollbar.side'''
    Right-click the Preference and Modify it to '''3'''
    You may need to reload any pages open to have scrollbar move to left after Preference change.

  • Firefox updated to its newest version 12.0. Now my Adobe Flash plugin freezes and hangs every website when it is enabled even though it is the newest version.

    Today Firefox updated to its newest version 12.0. Immediately after update, I couldn't load most websites. The web browser would just freeze. I have determined that the culprit is the Adobe Flash Plugin, however; even with the newest version of the plugin, I am still having problems. Any suggestions?

    can you try this suggestion [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing%20the%20Flash%20plugin#w_playing-flash-videos-makes-firefox-hang] and/or [[How do I upgrade my graphics drivers?]]

  • Flash does not work correctly in full screen after most recent Firefox update

    == Issue
    ==
    Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
    == Description
    ==
    Yesterday, firefox updated itself automatically. The "what's new" screen suggested that I update Flash immediately, so I did. I had a little trouble. I eventually uninstalled Flash and re-installed with the latest version, but it is now up to date. Now flash videos will not play properly in full screen. The picture will freeze for a few seconds with the audio still playing, the screen will go blank, then the video will restart from where the audio was when the screen went blank. Sometimes Flash will crash completely and I will have to reload the page to restart the video, even not full screen. Other times I get an error message that my video driver stopped working. I have checked and my video driver is up to date.

    I updated to 3.6.4 and when I went to NetFlix to watch the next show of a series, it said
    something like
    Installation complete, restart your browser.
    I restarted browser, same problem. Restarted comp. Same problem.
    I updated Adobe Flash 10.1, still same problem.
    But able to watch some vids on other sites, but full screen gave me the big blank white screen with audio only, had to click around in the dark ( so to speak) to find the minimize button.
    I did a System Restore to before the Firefox and Adobe updates.
    I then did not update Firefox as recommended and went to NetFlix and wellah, i can view the movies again.
    And Full Screen is fine.
    I then experimented and updated Firefox only, went to NetFlix and got same msg with no viewable shows.
    So did a System Restore once more.
    Staying at 3.6.3 for a while longer until I know I can watch my movies.
    I don't own a TV, so this is my only form of an occasional escape.
    I do hope this is figured out soon.
    With what I have done, it seems to be Firefox, Not Flash.
    Good Luck to us all.

  • Why won't my "searchpreview" add-on work from my browser search box since Firefox updated to 3.6.16, but it works when I do it from the Google main page??

    Since Firefox updated itself to 3.6.16 earlier today, when I search for anything in my Google search box on the browser, it always used to show me thumbnails when the Google page came up. Now there are no thumbnails appearing, except if I go on the Google main page and search from there, the thumbnails still appear. Whe it updated, the browser automatically searched for incompatability problems with my add-ons but nothing appeared to say Searchpreview was incompatible.

  • Firefox update page keeps opening in a new tab every time I open Firefox. How do I stop this?

    Every time I open up Firefox, the update checking window opens first, then I get 2 tabs that open. One is my home page, the other is the page that opens after a new version of Firefox is installed. How can I get the Firefox update page to stop opening? I had the same thing happen with the "Download Helper" add-on. The only way I could get it to stop was to disable it. I am running windows 7 and Firefox 9.
