Is there a recent firefox update that requires that I turn off my mvirus protection?

I have been receiving a Firefox update request stating that to install I must turn off my virus protection. Is this a real update request? Is there a way to get the update without turning off my virus protection?

You're not reading that update message completely or understanding exactly what would be disabled. Firefox only disables incompatible add-ons, not anti-virus programs.

Do you memeber the complete wording of the error message?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Since the most recent Firefox update 3.6.8 my banking institution no longer shows as having a secure encrypted connection, however, my bank assures me all is well with their certificates and that is a problem with the new Firefox browser update, can you give me some idea why it is doing this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Right after the new Firefox update

Hello Anne.
Can you please try it in a new (temporary) Firefox profile and see if the issue is still present? See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles this article] to know how to create a new Firefox profile. Please report back the results.

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.

Recent Firefox Update not Working with YouTube?

About a few days ago, I was going on YouTube to upload a video. For some reason, it gave me a message that says "Invalid Request. Authentication Expired".
Not only that, if I do other things such as liking/disliking a video, or adding a video to my Favorites or another playlist, it says that the feature isn't available.
I've also had a problem trying to reply to other comments in videos. Anytime that I type out my comment and hit the post button, it says something along the lines of "Error, Try again"
Now when it comes to doing other things such as simply watching and searching for videos, I have no problems whatsoever.
I figured it might have something to do with the most recent Firefox update, because I tried using YouTube with other browsers, and it works perfectly fine, and I wasn't having any problems with YouTube before the update.
Any idea if the update might have affected something that's causing all of these issues?

Since the most recent Firefox update I have been unable to click through links from Windows Live to Firefox, but it works for Internet explorer?? Any explanations?

Firefox is my default browser and since the most recent Firefox update I have been unable to click through links I receive from Windows Live Email to the Firefox browser, but it works if my browser is set to IE9?? I have checked the defaults settings and both are fine, so Any explanations or ideas on how to solve this?

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

"Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message and recent firefox update

"Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message is continuously popping up after the recent firefox update. I have nearly exhausted every possible solution to the problem as seen from the support page for this error message. I know someone who has the same issue on their computer and it also started right after the recent big update. Does the update have anything to do with this reoccurring issue? Is anyone else having this problem? Any other ideas on how to fix it? It would be great to get some help.

From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
issue may be caused by the clear history settings.
Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''Privacy'''.
The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

I bought my first iMac 27" i5 in November 2011 last year.
Do you think there would be a update that will Features a Retina Display, Siri etc ??
So my iMac will be the same as the new one that will be released this year,
Or will I have to buy a new iMac to get all these new updates ??
It would be a shame if I did because my iMac is only 6months old if that ..
Kind regards Simon Trott Apple user and proud of it

We're not allowed to speculate on future or rumoured Apple products, but we all know there'll always be newer tech coming along.
The iMac you have is an excellent machine, be happy with it and get a good few years use out of it. By the time your machine is slowing down, whatever comes next will have been updated numerous times.
I had the 2011 i5 27" delivered about 3 weeks ago. It's a cracking machine

Is there a recent security update for OSX version 10.6.8?

Is there a recent security update for OSX version 10.6.8?

I am getting more confused. I have Lion 10.7.5 and thought this would not be susceptible to SSL problem.
I also took Lanny's advice and went to "gotofail.com" and it said I was SAFE.
Can I assume I am OK?
Also,i have an ipod 4g and went to the same gotofail, and it also said I am safe. I have not udated the security patch as do not have sufficient space (need 2.7gig) but someone suggested a go around which I have not tried yet.
I am accessing the net via a Veiizon jet pak, and not using open networks.
Please comment

Since the most recent Firefox update Flash (v.10.3) no longer works on some sites

I had problems with the Flash v.11.whatever recent upgrade so uninstalled it and installed v.10.3etc. It worked fine for all sites until the most recent Firefox update a few days ago (27th August, 2012?). Now Flash will not work on some sites e.g. UK's Channel 4 On Demand service. Other browsers work fine on same site e.g. Chrome. Can you guys at Mozilla try and get Firefox communicating with Flash again? Thanks.
