None of the higher versions over 3.6 work on my computer. They actually freeze and do nothing right from the start

Each time I try to upgrade to a higher version of firefox, anything over 3.6 the syster won't work. Everything freezes and can't open any pages. I have tried to download since version 4 and just tried downloading to use the latest version and nothing. Just frozen screen.

Well, it says I already have the most recent version. However Google Plus still says my version is out of date.
A friend suggested I back up my bookmarks, then try uninstalling & reinstalling Firefox the traditional way, and rebooting my system afterwards.
I'm going to try that to see if there is some kind of other issue going on between Google Plus and all of the websites that say my browser is out of date (ie. version 3.5) when it is not.
Thanks!
ps. I did try what you suggested, and that's where I found out my browser version is current.

    The video and sound was working on my computer two days ago (and has ALWAYS worked on my computer since purchasing it in 2010) but now for some reason I can't play video and there is no sound.  I updated software today.  Still sound & video not working.

    2.  Enable Plug-ins
        Safari > Preferences > Security

        Click in the box for "Enable Plug-ins".
    3. Check  whether you are currently  in  YouTube HTML 5 trial.
         http://www.youtube.com/html5
        At the bottom  left of the page  uncheck the box for
       "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
    4. Reset Safari.
        Click Safari in the menu bar.
        From the drop down select "Reset Safari".

  • My keyboard will work for about 5-12 typed letters and then will have to re start to beep each time I try to type a letter and I have to click on the field again to  start typing!!

    It depends on what keyboard you have, if not than their May be a problem with your device

  • None of the start up key combinations work (safe boot, zap PRAM, etc...)

    Hi,
    I can't boot in safe mode (shift -key), zap PRAM (cmd-opt-P-R), boot from CD (C) or use any other booting options. I know these may be blocked if Firmware password protection is on.
    Things I've already tried:
    1. Repair disk and permissions
    2. I tried to boot with option key (to get the Firmware password thing). I think this only made the computer to boot again after a few seconds, but nothing else.
    3. I did boot from Leopard install DVD and cheked the Firmware password protection. It seemed to be off. So, I password protected it and tried the option-boot again. But the results where same as before.
    All firmware updates are installed succesfully.
    So, it seems everything is blocked. Even the firmware password protection boot.
    Does anyone have ideas how to get these things to work again?
    Thanks

    It \shouldn't help, but have you tried plugging the keyboard into a different USB port?

  • I cant open apps on my iPhone 4 the touch screen doesn't work.  I have restored my phone and still nothing works.

    I can't open apps on my iPhone.  The touch screen doesn't work.  I have restored it already but it still won't work.  What can I do.

    If the touch screen is not having any response then you probably have a hardware failure. Take your phone to an Apple Store or authorised service provider to have it checked.

  • Good day all, I am new to Mac. Just at a time when I am in the middle of something, my Mac will just prompt me to shut down and restart again. The computer will just freeze, and will not respond unless it is shut down and restarted. Is that how it works

    Good day all,
    I am new to Mac. Just want to find out if your Macs always prompt you to shut down and restart. Mine happens very often sometimes, and it can be very embarrassing, especially just when you think you are almost done with what you are doing, only for you start all over again. Or, is there anything I am doing wrong, somebody please help, Thanks.

  • My computer has been freezing and then emitting a consistent beeping until I shut off the power. It has been getting really hot and the fan gets really loud. This has been going on for months. What's going on?

    I just had my macbook pro checked out and all of it's systems restarted to solve its beeping and freezing problem. However, it is still shutting itself down when I close the lid and becoming very hot.  When I open the lid again the screen is black and I have to continually hold down the power button in order to turn it back on. Does anyone know why this is happening?

  • TS3212 I'm trying to download my existing iTunes account onto my new computer. Whenever I push download nothing works. It thanks me for downloading and then nothing happens. There is no pop-up control in the tool bar. Help???

    I'm trying to download my existing iTunes account onto my new computer. For one, every time I try and download it it takes a second and then says "thank you for downloading iTunes!" and after that there's nothing, no results, no download. I read the instructions, and I looked on my toolbar. There appears to be no pop-up control and I can't find anything relating to it. I have Windows 8, in case that makes a difference. This shouldn't be a problem, but it is, so....HELP???!

  • The effects and adjustment will not work. I just bought a MacPro and had everything moved from my old laptop.

    quick fixes won't work either and there is nothing in the levels file - no histogram. my photos are in raw. I tried deleting the IPhoto plist file and restart but no luck.

    Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library.  Import a couple of photos and see if you can edit theme there.  If not I suspect a reinstall of iPhoto might be necessary.  To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
