Is Open Software Updater compatible with firefox?

The popup, Open Software Updater, keeps coming in and wants me to download it to keep firefox up to date. Is open software updater a valid firefox updater?

hello logdenfarm, updates are handled automatically & internally by firefox (you can always trigger a check for updates manually in the firefox ''menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > help [[Image:Help-29]] > about firefox'').
so there is no need for external updaters, which might in some cases also bundle unnecessary or malicious software - i'm not familiar with the program you have mentioned specifically, but if you receive poups form an unclear source you should probably run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • Is 6288 update compatible with 6280?

    Is 6288 software update compatible with 6280?

    The issue for 6280's seems to be that the update from 3.x to 5.x causes the handset to die and then the handset has to be revived / recovered using the tools at a service centre. In fact going from early versions of 3.x to later versions of 3.x is also risky.
    As the NSU currently does not have a revive / recovery mode for dead handsets I am not surprised they chose to play it safe and only support the 6288 which has an initial firmware version of 5.92.
    Hopefully future versions of the NSU will support the 6280 properly.
    First use the search to see if your question has already been answered...
    Secondly I will not knowingly assist in breaking the forum rules.
    My information is always changing, what I post at the time is usually true.

  • Foofle Toolbar is not compatible with Firefox 5. Throughout all the Firefox updates, there has never been this problem. Did you screw up?

    Google Toolbar is not compatible with Firefox 5. Throughout all the previous Firefox updates, there has never been this problem. Did you screw up?

    I wish it were that but a long time ago when I had a problem with the gadgets with iGoogle back 6 months ago thereabouts I was asked to disable it then and I did and I just went to re-check and it is still not enabled, however, it will not let me un-install it though.. It only gives me an option to enable or disable.. Any advice ? So I'm wondering if it is something else still or is there a problem with the avast still ?
    thanks again for your help. Mind you that this all started when blogger went down ..
    take care

  • After almost a year - duh - I see that v3.6.4 got stuck mid-download; now I can't proceed or get rid of the Software Update 'Paused downloading Firefox 3.6.4' -so how to update now?

    I have Firefox 3.6.3 on a mac os x 10.5.8 laptop. Often when I open Firefox there are updates available for plugins & addons and I install them. Now Firefox often crashes while in use and/or I must force quit. I finally went to the Help menu on the Firefox menu bar and saw this message: 'Resume Downloading Firefox 3.6.4...' When I click on the message I get a new 'Software Update' window with this info: 'Paused downloading Firefox 3.6.4' (stuck); a 'Details' link (dead); and 'Connecting to the update server...' (never connects). Sorry, I couldn't figure out what the 'Firefox location bar' was and so can't get report IDs, though a while ago I stopped reporting the problems. I want to update Firefox without losing any of my stored settings/info. PS I just saw my 'installed plugins' list. 'Displays PDF documents in the browser' is listed but doesn't work; 'iPhoto6' listed, but I run iPhoto '08 (7.1.5). I'm not sophisticated enough to recognize the other plug-ins. Thanks!

    I don't know if there are better solutions, and I don't know if what I'm going to write is real also in mac OS: in windows and linux you personal settings (bookmarks, history, plugins, etc...) are stored in your home directory and not in firefox installation directory. So what about to uninstall your current version, download the new one from firefox web site and install it? In my opinion all your data remain untouched.
    A better solution may be download the new version and install it without removing the previous one, the installer should overwrite outdated files ;)

  • What is the name of best Antivirus which is compatible with firefox?

    what is the name of best Antivirus which is compatible with Firefox? I have bought Kaspersky but it says:
    content blocker 13.0.2.558 is incompatible with firefox 19.0.2
    Kaspersky URL Advisor 13.0.2.558 is incompatible with firefox 19.0.2
    safe money 13.0.2.558 is incompatible with firefox 19.0.2
    Virtual keyboard 13.0.2.558 is incompatible with Firefox 19.0.2
    I really don't want to switch to Google chrome or any other browser because of Kaspersky.I have 14 days to return it. please advise me that what is the best antivirus that is full compatible with Firefox.

    Your Kaspersky software is protecting your system, and as long as real-time protection is enabled, it's checking your downloads. What aren't working are their browser add-ons.
    Some of the vendors are quicker at providing updates for new versions of Firefox than others. For example, Kaspersky typically take several weeks, while Norton does it almost immediately. I think it's just their different philosophies about how to allocate their resources.
    While the browser add-ons can be handy, I'm not sure whether they should be considered critical in your decision on which security software offers the best overall protection. Keeping your browsers and plug-ins up-to-date, avoiding suspicious email attachments and links, and not visiting sketchy websites are the top safety items in my opinion. Also, I run the NoScript extension.

  • My college's online class site is not compatible with Firefox 7

    The college has notified us that we have to use Firefox 6 because the website is not compatible with Firefox 7. But frequently I am notified that I will be upgraded to 7, so I go in and have to got through the steps of making sure I am still in version 6. Is there something that can be done to fix this?

    I've seen reports before that Angel LMS isn't working with Firefox 7, so there is probably nothing that you can do about it but wait until Blackboard updates Angel software to work with Firefox 7.

  • Are the plugins Flash 11.1.102.55 and Java SE 6 U 29 6.0.290.11 compatible with Firefox 8 for Windows XP SP3?

    I have found information leading me to believe that compatibilities between Java SE6 U29 6.0.290.11 and Flash 11.1.102.55 plugins for Firefox 8. Would someone please confirm or deny weather these plugins are compatible with Firefox 8?
    Thank you

    I updated to Firefox 8, however, the Java Console 6.0.29 is disabled, even though I tried to enable it when Firefox 8 install came back with a dialog box showing the plugins that were installed by 3rd part software.
    When I go to the Java web page to check Java - Java works. Also, when trying to use a Java based web site, this too seems to work.
    So what is the purpose of Java Console 6.0.29 plugin and should I be concerned that is is disabled?
    Thank you

  • Cookie pie fix to be compatible with Firefox 7

    I would like to have added would be: Cookie Pie compatible with firefox 7. I do a lot of accounting work and have multiple clients I deal with. Cookie Pie makes lives easier for people like me that need to have multiple tabs open to be more efficent in our daily work. Is there a way we can get the extension compatible with the new system?

    I don't thing that extension will work in a Firefox 4+ version, even with using ACR. It hasn't been updated since Feb 2010 - long before Firefox 4 was even in the beta stage of development. <br />http://www.nektra.com/products/cookiepie-tab-firefox-extension
    Try this "cookie" handing extension, instead. <br />
    Multifox is an extension that allows Firefox to connect to websites using different user names. Simultaneously! <br />

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

    Hi Cereskit
    Thanks again for the message. I've done the updates and have the App Store on my desktop. I went into it and searched for imovie but couldn't find the basic imovie, which I presume is what I'd need for editing?, rather than imovie 11 for £10.49, which is for making trailers, it seems. Also, were you saying that imovie would be free?

  • Shockwave Flash above version 11.2.202.235 not compatible with Firefox 14.0.1

    I am using Firefox 14.0.1 with Shockwave Flash. If I use any version of Shockwave Flash later than 11.2.202.235 I can not watch videos such as Youtube. All I get is a white screen. If I roll back to SF Ver .235 the videos play fine. I do not have this problem with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.
    Are the 11.3 r300 versions of Shockwave Flash not compatible with Firefox?

    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 14 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
