Is there a newsletter that informs about Firefox updates?

I need to be informed about updates to Firefox via email so I can start an update process of our Firefox package.
Automatic updates is disabled in our package since users have no right to do this.

There is a monthly newsletter, you can sign up for it here - http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/central/
An alternative is the Firefox channels newsletter which is dedicated to news about development. You can choose to only receive information about releases. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/channel/

  • There are lot of things about firefox 4 needs to be on. Who should we complain about firefox 4?

    There are lot of things about firefox 4 needs to be on. Who should we complain about firefox 4?

    Please give us a list of your problems or issues with Firefox 4.0 and we'll try to help you with each one. Please use a numbered list so a person can respond to a specific item by its' number in your list, as not everyone may feel or be qualified to answer all your questions.
    Complaining to Mozilla isn't going to fix anything for you. One complaint, a few hundred complaints, or even a few thousand complaints about the same issue is going to bring about a "fix", unless it's a security issue and Mozilla recognizes ot as such.

  • How can i get prior information about version update?

  • Clicking on "View more information about this update" for 31.5.0 does nothing

    I got a pop-up today that Thunderbird 31.5.0 is available. I clicked on "View more information about this update" because that usually takes me to the release notes and I prefer to read about updates and download and install them myself, rather than have the system do it for me. (I do this so I can save previous versions in case I run into a problem with the latest and want to go back.) But when I clicked on "View more information about this update" nothing happened. It didn't switch over to the browser nor start loading the release notes.

    About 5-10 minutes after I had clicked on "View more information about this update" a few times (and had manually gone to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/31.5.0/releasenotes/ and downloaded and was in the process of installing the new release), my browser opened up three tabs on that page. I guess it was just a very delayed response.

  • HT1222 This article contains absolutely NO information about the update being offered.

    This article contains absolutely NO information about the update being offered. It doesn't even tell me what it might break on my system (i.e. what gets changed). Just excuses of "We Aren't Telling Until Our Investigation Is All Done."
    That's not a good enough reason to install an update, it never was, and it never will be.
    "Do it because we say so" might fly overseas in Foxconn factories, but around here we don't like being kept in the dark and fed a load of fertilizer.

    The individual update pages, such as this one, list the changes and fixes. The reference to information which Apple doesn't release is about security bugs it's identified but not patched, as it would only be useful to attackers.

  • Basic information about software update

    Sometimes when the Software Update has run and tells me I need to reboot, I put it off and finish what I am doing on my other programs, then later quit everything and restart. My brother tells me I should not do this since it has optimized the space on my computer and by doing other things I change that. Is this true?
    He now tells me that I should not be doing anything else while downloading with software update, but I figure that if that was true, they'd warn you about it. I would be incredibly greatful if someone could clear this up!

    I agree with everything written so far, but will also add my own take on this subject!
    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
    And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

  • My Firefox browser, shows "It is strongly recommended that you apply this update to Firefox as soon as possible". When I click "View more information about this update" nothing happens. Nor does anything happen when I click "Next". Is this a virus??

    On opening Firefox I keep getting the above msg. Sometime ago, there was a virus posing to be a Windows XP Security Update, which was removed. According to CA who provides virus protection, this is a matter for Firefox.
    Hence my concern that this may be a virus.
    Would appreciate your advice. Thanks

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I keep getting a pop up saying 'It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible.' When I click 'View more information about this update' nothing happens. Do I need an update or not?

    If I click the Next button it says Connecting to the update server for Downloading Firefox. I am connected to the internet. It just keeps displaying the same msg but nothing seems to be happening. I tried clicking the Hide button and now I can't get back to it. What is this about?

    There is a security update for Firefox (Firefox 10.0.2) which you should apply. Unfortunately, it looks as if the updater on your Firefox is messing up somehow.
    The easiest way to work around this and get you secure is to go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], and download the latest version of Firefox there. After it downloads, go ahead and run the installer over your current Firefox. None of your settings will be changed, but it will apply the security fix, and you will be all good to go!

  • I keep getting a popup window saying there is an important update for FireFox but when I click on "More information about this update" it doesn't show anything. It seems suspicious so I have not downloaded or installed it.

    Any thoughts...?? Anyone have this issue and have an answer to it...???

  • When starting, Firefox opens an extra tab that is about Firefox. I am tired of it already!

    Firefox Start Page opens, along wiht my homepage, when I open a new window.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == WhenI started using Windows 7 on a new machine

    How many pages do you have set as your "homepage"? <br />
    Firefox allows for multiple homepages in separate tabs, separated by the pipe | symbol.
    Try resetting your homepage. <br />

  • I have MAC OSX 10.7.5. Is there a way to get latest firefox update? It says it is not supported?

    I cant imagine that you don't have an update that works for my MAC. Please tell me how

    Hello ourhouse2u, the update is for 10.7.5 as you said OR as system details said 10.5 ?
    For 10.5.8 intel mac, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-mac-os-x-10-5#os=mac&browser=fx19 Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.5]
    16.0.2 is the latest version(for 10.5.8),see in the above link '''Option 3: Continue to use Mac OS X 10.5 and Firefox 16'''
    for 10.7.5 you can use the latest, BUT first fix your user agent because is corrupted by Fast Browser Search ('''FBSMTWB''') and that identifies you as Firefox/3.5.2
    see your user agent:
    User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 GTB5 '''FBSMTWB'''
    you must reset user agent, see how to do that : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-say-firefox-outdated-or-incompatible?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser#w_firefox-is-showing-the-wrong-user-agent Firefox is showing the wrong User Agent]

  • HP Support Assistant does not inform about ANY updates for drivers/softwares

    Hello everyone, HP Support Assistant is not showing ANY sort of updates/messages for latest drivers and softwares although there are updated drivers available for my notebook at the Driver Software Support section from where you can manually download and install them. I'll be updating all my drivers one by one in the morning but ever since I've bought my laptop I've wondered why HPSA has not came to any benefit of mine yet. Is this a known problem? Help is highly respected!Regards.

    Okay so its starting to give updates,  so far I've had 3 updates for HP System Event Utility, Simeplepass and HP Wireless Button Driver.  I guess it works very specifically and on it's own.  No luck on other drivers.

  • Each time I open my computer, I get a full screen about Firefox and a toolbar that needs a yes or no answer. How do I get rid of this?

    I used to be able to press 1 button to get to my Google Home page, but now that I have downloaded the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, the "home page" is now information about Firefox and at the top of my computer, there is a question about security that needs me to say 'no' each time. I do not want to go through these steps every time I start my system.

    See these articles for some suggestions:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
