On mozilla's OWN WEBSITE I get the message 'Your Firefox is out of date and may contain a security risk!" but I just download and installed the latest version?
I have the latest version of firefox to date (10/15/2014 v32) and I still get messages while on various websites (Youtube, Google, Gmail) telling me that Your Firefox is out of date and may contain a security risk.
I even get that message on the support pages of mozilla.org??
I've tried the about:config reset the useragent(s) fix but that doesn't work.
I've tried browsing in safe mode and still get the error.
Why is this False/Positive happening?
Thanks
hello your useragent (the information the browser sends to websites to identify its version) - apparently mistakenly - shows this:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20140923 '''Firefox/4.0.0; xs-A30GTmfXR3o;CkHZPf;'''
probably some sort of unwanted software has overwritten it. please refer to this article in order to reset the user-agent settings in firefox:
[[Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]]
in case this does not help, please try to reset the whole browser:

I try to open I photo and I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?
Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

hi, my itunes will not work. I get a message saying it is out of date. But I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and I get the same message?

Did you do this when uninstalling??

Because of a virus, I redownloaded Thunderbird 24.4.0 and it completed until trying to open Thunderbird when I get the message "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I know the profile exists in a "recovered files" folder. I've tried to move it to the current Thunderbird folder but get the same message. I've tried to follow a Mozillazine article but it's too complicated. Is there any online help, such as chat or phone?
I think I have finally figured out how to reply to you. Even though your email says to reply to [email protected], that just goes into dead space.
So to answer your question, the profiles.ini file has in it:
<pre><nowiki>{General}
StartWithLastProfile=1
{Profile0}
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/ghdigdus.default</nowiki></pre>
Also, I want to mention that there is a Thunderbird folder in C:\ just above the Users folder. It has two profiles in it, one of which is the e00qmtzd.default folder.
Are we getting closer to solving this problem? -
Firefox will not upgrade the company whose firewall I am behind say that UPX files are not allowed where can I download a Non-UPX latest version
UPX is used to compress the Firefox program.
It is not possible to un-compress that file without corrupting it.
Can you use the portable Firefox version?

I recently changed my Email address which required me to change my username for my Apple ID and my password. The changed has been successful, but each time that I open my iPad, I get a message that I need to enter my Apple ID to continue to receive downloads. The problem is that the username that comes up for entry of the password is the OLD Apple ID username. I have entered the old password and then then I am directed that it is not correct and given advice to change my password or username. I can't figure out how to resolve this issue.
If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

I have a proxy server and the server is allowing me to go to iTunes. But I get a message "Error in accessing iTunes store. Please try again later." Error code ox80092013. I cannot find that code in the troubleshooting section. I have just installed a new PC HP5750, with Norton IS 2013. I installed the current version of iTunes directly from the iTunes site. My proxy server is American Family Online web browsing filter. I contacted them and they said there should not be a problem with their server. I have had an account previously, but has been inactive for several months. I even tried to create a new account, but still got the same error code.
Someone please help with this. I have accompaniment tracks on iTunes that I need for music ministry.Hi Lcoffin8,

Please help with updating IPad from iOS5.1.1 to current. Have followed directions, still getting message: your software, (iOS5.1.1) is up to date.
You must have a 1st generation iPad.
iOS 5.1.1 is the most current version for that device.
Does it have a camera?
If not it is a 1st generation.
You can check your model here:

this application has failed to start because d3d8thk.dll could not be found. I looked that file up and it seems its part of directx. i installed directx again but that still did not help.
d3d8thk.dll
That one is a DirectX 8 module and might not be included in the most recent DirectX 9 redistributable available from Microsoft. If it's been installed as part of a partial DirectX 8 install (as part of a game for example), that can cause the issue. Can you track down a full DirectX 8 redistributable? If so, if you install that, does that clear up the iTunes error? -
I downloaded the free Firefox system from the web. I have not been able to open the system since loading it.
I can not find any of the files you address.
I am tying to install Firefox for the first time. SO, if that is the case, how can any of these various files exist? I cannot access the contents of my "Application support" folder.
I have tried to delete Firefox and start over, and the same error message comes up.
I guess my frustration is how can I have a profile if I do not have Firefox installed? -
I just can't get the browser to open up to just my home page when I click on it. It '''always''' opens the firefox browser page http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0.1/whatsnew and then proceeds to open up to my home page in a second window.

I bought a new IMAC Apple pc a month ago and am used to Windows. I am new to MAC software and tried to solve the issue myself by searching online and through your database without success. Can you please help by sending step by step instructions on how to fix the above issue.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an old profile (if you have one) to that new profile

I was trying to update firefox and it crashed and now....no more firefox
Hello,
you can solve this problem by going to your Applications Setting in Android ( Settings - Applications ), Select FIrefox and there you remove all datas.
it will delete the profile.
Then you'll just have to open Firefox. -
mixer.exe uses 872k of memory according to task manager.
It shows up on the taskbar whenever I open firefox 3.6.13. It has an icon of a little rectangle with two white arrows attached to the side of the rectangle pointing inward. When I left click or right click on the Mixer icon on the taskbar, nothing happens. What is this mixer.exe? It isn't listed as one of my add-ons.
Thank you.From the Firefox help files;<BR><BR>
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
