The new Firefox 26 (?) just keeps running & doesn't install, why?

When I click "install" is starts running across the screen and never stops. It will do it for hours.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 26.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded

Trying to run an install to update to Firefox 3.6.16 but Software Update is not making any apparent progress past "Connecting to the update server". Just keeps running... Is this a problem or does the update just take a really long time?

My computer's current version of Firefox is 3.6.13; clicked on Software Update and received an "strong suggestion" to download the newest version 3.6.16. Clicked to update and now "Downloading Update" has been showing "Connecting to the update server..." for 10+ minutes.

Should I buy the new iPad or just keep my iPad 1

Help me decide whether or not to buy the new iPad

Nope, you don't want it.
There you go!

Since the new firefox update, i keep getting the browser support message re "password bank".

I do NOT want to change my laptop fingerprint sign-on. How do I get rid of the firefox popup? I've restarted several times and it is still there. Extremely annoying!

Disable your firewall/security software.

I won't put firefox 5 until it will let me have my google toolbar which the new firefox won't let me have

Don't you stupid people get it? People that like their google tool bar can't have it with the new firefox 5 Just fix that and then maybe Ill stop getting pop ups asking me to change it to 5 where it won't let me have my google toolbar. Just fix it and I'll gladly upgrade because 5 is a downgrade

Be sure you are blaming the people responsible. See below.

Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox beyond Firefox 4. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

The new firefox won't allow me to auto sign in even to sites I'm approved

I HATE the new Firefox. It keeps making me "allow" moving to different sites, even when it's within a site. Also, even though I have allowed certain sites (e.g., APA.org) it will not allow me to automatically reload or sign in. This is totally frustrating b/c it means I cannot even manually enter my password and sign in. I NEED this site for my business and Firefox is preventing me from totally normal use.

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
Next, try doing a manual install/update using the instructions here:

Just downloaded Firefox 4. Running Windows XP. Some of the new features are mising such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. The look is almost like Firefox 3. Why is this happening?

Hi. I just downloaded Firefox 4. Some of the new features are missing such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. It almost looks just like Firefox 3. I am using Windows XP on this desktop computer. On my laptop, running Windows Vista, Firefox 4 has all the updates advertised. Why is this happening? How do I fix?
Thanks
Jamie

Thanks so much!

When I click on a Firefox update My Mac Mini Os 10.4 just keeps running how long should I wait for this update to complete.

The update just keeps running it seems that it will never complete the update like it is stuck in one place with out progress.
I have the indicator on my screen going but no advancement.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

* Download a new copy of the Firefox program
* Firefox 3.6: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install

The new Firefox opens all the old tabs it closed with, when it starts. I'd rather just start a new session. How can I make that the default setting?

The new Firefox re-opens all the tabs it closed with; and, I'd rather just start a new session, as the default setting. How can I do this? It would make it easier on me, the machine, and the Internet feed, not to reload automatically a bunch of tabs that were just closed. There must be someway to fix this. This happens on my brother's Windows computer, as well; and, it's running Firefox 4. Thanks for your help.

Make that "Firefox ->Preferences -> General -> When Firefox starts: "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is not selected as this is not the default.
Basically this setting will make Firefox start with whatever windows and tabs that were last open when a user closes Firefox by way of File ->Quit/Exit as if Firefox was never closed.

I cant install the new firefox 6 on my laptop because it keeps asking for the administrator password during the installation and i dont know what is it for this laptop

I read a way on another forum to fix this problem. Right click on the setup.exe and select "Run as administrator" this should solve your problem.

After being hassled just about to death, I downloaded the new Firefox for Macs (3.6.13). Now I cannot download anything. Not a thing.

After being hassled just about to death, I downloaded the new Firefox for Macs (3.6.13). Now I cannot download anything. Not a thing. The help files suggested resetting the download folder (didn't work), clearing the download menu (didn't work as there was nothing to clear)

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

I have just bought a new iphone 4 as an upgrade to my iphone 3GS. How can I transfer all my apps and data to the new iphone 4 and keep facetime etc on the new iphone 4. If I do a restore of the iphone 3GS I only get the 3GS apps (i.e. no facetime)

I have just bought a new iphone 4 as an upgrade to my iphone 3GS. How can I transfer all my apps including saved levels in games etc. and data and folders to the new iphone 4 and keep facetime etc on the new iphone 4.

There is no FaceTime app for the iphone, FaceTime is built into the iOS. Follow the directions here:

I need blacks law disctionary digital plug-in to work with my browser, because it doesn't work any other way with any other browser, the new firefox is incompatible, so can I go back to the old firefox?

I really wish internet providers wouldn't change things so much that your current software can't keep up. Black's Law Dictionary is the only authoritative source for legal terms and it's not free or on a website. The digital version (the only way to keep from carrying around a 5 lb book) is an add-on feature that previously worked with Firefox. It's supposed to work with all browsers, but the browsers have all been changing so much. If I would have known that my blacks-law plug in would be disabled until Firefox becomes compatible again, I would have never upgraded. Tell me how to go back to my old version, so I can finish my research in peace, until you guys get serious about making products that work for people BEFORE you release them.

Try using the Add-on Compatibility Reporter extension to "force" compatibility of that add-on.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
You really need to contact the developer of that Burke's Law add-on and find out why they can't keep that add-on up-to-date with the new Firefox versions. IMO, if they are using a web browser as the interface for their product and are charging you for that service, they have an obligation to their customer's to keep their stuff fixed for the 2nd most used browser in the world.

I can't download apps, or update to mavericks in the App Store. It just keep, "loading" doesn't matter what wifi I'm on...

It's hard to tell what's wrong with your Apple ID. Maybe the country you have registered is different from what your friend have registered. Apps are available differently in different areas. That's what I see.

I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

The new Firefox 26 (?) just keeps running & doesn't install, why?
