Mozilla not updated in eons

Mozilla is at 1.7.8 and is flagged out of date but there's still no upgrade. What's up with that? 1.7.10 was skipped entirely and 1.7.11's been out for quite some time.

Everything is backed up trying to update to gcc4

Why is my Mozilla Firefox toolbar not working? The weather icon has not updated in weeks!!

For over a week I've had a terrible time accessing the web via Mozilla Firefox, so went back to using IE. Tried again today, and things seem to be fine, EXCEPT that the weather icon on my Mozilla Firefox tool bar is still not updating to the current conditions. It hasn't updated in weeks. What is happening?

* Update Firefox to the latest version 10 -> [[Installing Firefox]]
* [[Add-ons are disabled after updating Firefox#w_check-for-new-versions-of-your-add-ons|Check for new versions of your add-ons]]
Check and tell if its working.

File dates not updated in finder window (Mozilla only)

OK, folks - here's a real puzzler for you. I'm using Mozilla 1.7.12 to maintain a simple set of web pages. When I save an HTML file with Mozilla composer, the file's modify date in the Finder window does not update consistently. (The window is in list view.)
The date does not update as long as that finder window remains in the background. Selecting the window sometimes updates one file date (but not others if I've modified multiple files). Switching to icon view sometimes updates the file dates, sometimes not. Only logging out and back in (i.e., starting a new Finder) guarantees that all dates are current. This only happens with Mozilla composer - saving files with other software results in the date in the finder window updating immediately. It seems to me this behavior is new since I updated to OSX 10.4.3, but I can't be positive.
Any bright ideas? - Andy
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Is this causing any problems, or is it just a quirky behavior? For example, if you change to list view and sort by date, does it still get the dates wrong?
I'm thinking this is probably a really marginal bug, where Composer isn't telling the Finder to refresh the date as most applications do, but then, Mozilla does a lot of unMaclike things. Eventually the Finder figures out that the files have been updated though. There are probably a host of ways you can force it to update, as you've already discovered. You can also force it to update with a simple AppleScript:
tell application "Finder"
update every item of window 1
end tell
This tells the Finder to update everything in the frontmost window to match what's on the disk.

Adobe Flash will not update to a W-2000 system and will not work? Is there a fix? Mozilla has disabled Flash. Do I have to go back to Explore?

Firefox-hg not updated in a while

I have been using firefox-hg for quite a while, and have been happy with it. Recently, I noticed that it has not updated, even though I update quite frequently.
It keeps failing, so I ran the install specifically and recieved the following output:

In which point did you think of actually fetching the sources?
Comment by: mutantmonkey on Tue, 15 Feb 2011 02:53:52 +0000
The package seems to work fine without any code to fetch from Mercurial.
Erus: Thanks, I can try that out the next time I update.

It seems to have something to do with python, though, I don't have a clue what to do about it. I have searched the forums, and found nothing regarding this issue.
I just checked my pacman.log and found that the last time it was upgraded was a month ago.

My firefox beta 12 using Linux platform does not update to firefox RC1 via the "check for update" function. I know windows' beta version had this fixed, when would Linux get similar support ?

Current platform : Linux
Current firefox version : Firefox 4 beta 12
Issue : does not update to RC 1 using the check for update feature.
Background : previously downloaded beta 8 and then it automatically updated to beta 12 using update features but for RC1, it does not.
I know users under Windows platform had same problem but was resolved and they can now update via check for update feature.
Please implement for Linux users too.
Thanks !!

If you can't update then you can download and install the full Firefox 4 RC version.

Firefox 3.6.13 Update will not update and install plugins or extensions. It will prompt for a restart every time, instally nothing. Is there a fix?

Plugins such as Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Silverlight will show as needing an update on Plugin Check (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/) but every time it downloads, installs, and restarts Firefox, the program is not updated.
This error also occurs when updating Addons. They'll be listed as updated awaiting a Firefox restart, but every Firefox restart does not fix the problem. If I go to uninstall an Addon, it'll say it's ready to uninstall pending restart, but after a restart it is still installed.

I had the same problem, until I did some research. I uninstalled firefox 3.6.13, and reinstalled firefox 3.6.12. When I did some research, I found that the quicktime plugin had been blocklisted. I disabled the quicktime plugin, updated to firefox 3.6.13, and the problem was gone. My add-on window doesn't freeze up anymore either.

TS1398 Just got the mini, specifically to get jobs on a certain website. Jobs change all the time. When I go to website, it has not updated from the first time I logged in on the mini. It works on my laptop just fine. HELP!

My sons just bought me an ipad mini especially so that I could check a certain website on which I sign up for jobs throughout the day. The website is updated constantly throughout the day with new jobs and the status of the jobs I already have accepted and worked on. (It shows the percentage of the job that has been done.) It worked fine only the first time I logged on with the mini. Since then (yesterday,) when I check the website, it lets me log in, but I only see the same exact information that was there the first time I went to the website using the mini. It seems to be 'frozen' on that particular first look. It doesn't update at all.
I know it is not updating because I have also been checking with my notebook computer and with the notebook, the website is up to date.
Maybe its Safari?
I had the same problem when I used a friend's iPad.
I wonder if there is a setting or something that I could change to allow the website to update to the time I check it.
If not, then the ipad mini is a terrible disappointment and I would like to return it.
If you can help me, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance...

Can not update Acer one firefox on Android boot up?

I have an Acer one D255. Came with Android boot up and Firefox installed version Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20091022 Moblin/3.5.1-3.15.18.moblin2 Firefox/3.5.1. It now no longer supports flash and is pretty useless. It will not update and the help on Mozilla Support is pretty useless as well. looking at other post on this subject, no one has an answer, and Firefox/mozilla seem unintrested in providing any support either. Glad I have moved to a new tablet and have google chrome now. By the way when you put contact us on your website, please allow us to contact you.

The Acer One d255 has Windows, not android. http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/acer-aspire-one-d255.aspx
Please go to www.getfirefox.com and download and install Firefox 19.0.2

Outgoing server settings entered correctly but will not update and tries to send under old settings

I can receive all of my emails correctly but can not send any emails. I have set up under a different program and it works fine. I have tried to update thunderbird by its settings and it does not provide any options?? I am running ubuntu 14.04lts.
My outgoing mail settings are correct but when thunderbird tries to send it uses old settings and does not update to the new mail server.

When syncing on my Galaxy Note 2 the 'bookmarks toolbar' does not update

I have a laptop, desktop, and Android phone hooked up for syncing. After the initial sync the 'bookmarks toolbar' tab on the galaxy note 2 does not update when these are changed on the laptop or desktop. How do I fix this?

Hmm nothing at https://twitter.com/mozservices or https://services.mozilla.com/ states that however it is having a service disruption according to http://status.mozilla.com/11627/149178/Sync-%5BBasic%5D

After updating to 15.0.1 Firefox opened from C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\updated\firefox.exe

After updating to 15.0.1 this afternoon on a Win 7 64-bit machine, I restarted Firefox. Immediately Comod started showing warnings that firefox.exe was not a recognized program and was asking to access plug-in container, SVC host, and other things. Weird. So I look in Comodo and Explorer and it says the process is running from this path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\updated\firefox.exe
Except there is no Updated folder. This happens even when clicking the firefox.exe file in the Mozilla Firefox folder.
Is this normal?? It seems not correct.

Nevermind. I restarted the computer and everything seems to be back to normal - firewall and paths are correct now. So.. anyone having this problem - try restarting the machine. Never had to do that after a Firefox update before so didn't think of it.

IE 10 Will not update photo captions.

Hi I have updated to IE 10 BUT when I view photos from a web site the photos change but the captions do not.
It worked with IE 9 and works with Firefox and Torch but not IE 10 this is a bit annoying when I am trying to vote for my favourite photo. Also it does not open links from a Google search in new tab as it did before.
It did work with IE10 before I installed IE11 then after I had issues with IE11 went back to IE10 and now it does not update the captions also it does not open links from a Google search in new tab as it did before even though I have set Tabs up
in internet options to do just that open a link in a new Tab.
I am running Win 7 Home Premium SP1.
Looks like I am leaving Microsoft and going to use Firefox form now on.

Hi Yolanda,
I have rolled back to IE 9. I tried to post the link in my first post but was not able to due to me not being... something I can’t remember. I am still having the same problems with IE 9 and
have been all over the internet looking for answers to these problems with IE 10 & IE 9 to no avail and by all the posts on many many sites including the many Microsoft sites there are more people having these same problems than people not having problems.
So I am now, after more than 15 years, going to abandon Microsoft and Internet Explorer for
Mozilla Firefox it seems more stable than IE. <o:p></o:p>
So thank you for taking the time to answer but I have had enough with Microsoft not fixing there problems. Oh I did ring the service centre here in Australia, where the call centre is I don’t
know, and the guy told me it's my hardware but with all these other people having the same problem I don't believe that.<o:p></o:p>
Regards<o:p></o:p>
Phill.<o:p></o:p>
