Tried to install Firefox 8.0, it says I have a newer version, but have a 3.6.24. How come?

When I use Firefox (3.6.24) I get a page saying I need the newest version, 8.0. I download the new one, move the file from "Fetched files" and put it on my desk, where I open it.
As I, in dialogue field, drag Firefoxsymbol over to Applications map, it says "You've got a more recent object, are you sure you want to replace it?"
Should I ignore that and go on with the installation?
And what could be the newer object that's already there?

* Remove firefox first
* get fresh installer from getfirefox.com
* run install

  • 7.1.3 will not install, Says I have a "Newer Version", but none installed!

    Okay,
    As I'm sure most people have noticed,the new build of iTunes is not running smoothly. I've tried to install the updated build but it wouldn't work. It installed iTunes and the New Quicktime. It failed to open. So I do what apple tells me to: Try re-installing it.
    But after uninstalling both to try and reinstall, iTunes won't install quicktime anymore. And when I try to use the standalone Quicktime installer, it tells me that I cannot install because I have a newer version than 7.1.3 on my computer!And when I install iTunes (without it installing quicktime, on it's own mind you)and then open it, it says I must have Quicktime installed to use it. Even my Quickitme plugins for my internet don't work!
    I know this is impossible. And I've tried to rectify it every way I know how. Delete the remaining files in Windows and Program Files, use the Windows Installer Clean Up tool, try re-installing in safe mode, BUT NOTHING WORKS! I'd really like to use the new iTunes but I can't do anything with it untill I fix the quicktime problem.
    If anyone can help, it'd be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Rob,
    There is no quicktime folder there. And no quicktime program is installed when I try to install iTunes. The only reason I tried installing quicktime in standalone was because the itunes install was not actively going to the quicktime part of its installation.
    I've tried removing everything and only installing iTunes. But even after deleting the physical files, using the WIndows Install cleanup tool, and cleaning up my registry, the quicktime portion of the iTunes install doesn't complete, and I keep getting "unknown" errors from the crash prevention program, and from what I can see it's because there's no physical Quicktime program installed.
    As for other accounts, no I cannot start it up with other accounts, I keep getting the "Unknown" error and there is no physical files for quicktime anywhere.
    And selective startup doesn't seem to work as there is NO qttask option when I run selective startup.
    So, I seem to be out of options, and thing else I could try?

  • Keynote says I need a newer version but I have 5.1 latest version

    I have Lion and Keynote 5.1. When I try to open a 1gig presentation (years of work!) it says, You need a newer version of Keynote to open this. I have trashed all earlier versions of keynote, and downloaded 5.1 from app store. On 'get info' on the file it says it opens with 5.1.
    All was well until I installed Lion.
    Help!

    You have both applications on your Mac and are opening the wrong one.
    Pages '09 will not open Pages 5 documents and Pages 5 usually damages Pages '09 documents and refuses to open any earlier versions.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder:
    Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder:

  • I use MacIntosh, system 10.5.8. But I keep getting pop-ups . I have tried to install Firefox and it responds saying it is not compatible with my systems architecture. What should I do to stop the pop-up?

    I use G4 MacIntosh, System 10.5.8. I keep getting pop-ups asking me to upgrade my version of Firefox. But when I try to install I get the message that Firefox cannot operate with my computers architecture. How can I stop the pop-ups?

    I believe Firefox 4 is Intel only. That means it will not install on a PPC Mac. You can get TenFourFox, which is made for PPCs.

  • My google toolbar disappeared - I NEED IT! When trying to install it tells me its not compatible with this new version of Firefox. UNACCEPTABLE!

    I updated Firefox this morning. As I use the Google toolbar on a regular basis for many different reasons, I was very upset to find it had disappeared. I went to Google apps to reinstall it, but found out that it is not compatible with this version of Firefox! Please, don't update software, if it is NOT going to work properly.
    Is there anyway I can remove the update and go back to how it was before???

    You can get Firefox 3.6.16 here: <br />

  • I need to download an updated version of Adobe Flash.  When I go to System Preferences, Adobe nd then Advanced, it says to download the newer version, but when I click on it, the program will not complete the download.  It is VERY frustrating.

    Why won't the Adobe flash successfully download the newest version?  I tried going to System Preferences, Adobe Flash, Advanced, Check Now and clicking on update.

    Try un-installing and then re-installing.

    The Firefox pop-up blocker is usually very effective for blocking pop-ups generated by websites, but it sounds like you may have picked up some Malware that is generating those pop-ups from you own PC.
    Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.<br />'''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' <br />These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have.<br />
    ''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''

  • I'm trying to download Adobe Air. Getting Error that I need newer version, but keep getting same error. Any help here?

    Each time I try to download Adobe Air, I keep getting an error pop-up stating that I need to go to adobe to get a newer version.  Each time I attempt to do this, I receive the same error.  I'm able to get to the point where Adobe Air Installer icon appears.  I'm able to click on this icon but then I get the error.  Anyone else experiencing this problem?  Anyone have success getting through this problem?  Thank you!

    If the Adobe product is not compatible with Lion, it's still Adobe's issue.  Even still, this is a MacBook Pro hardware forum, so if you think Lion caused it, try going to the Lion forum, maybe someone will be able to give you quick/helpful support.

  • I have a new pc but have dupliates on old one, is there a way when i install itunes again to only have one track

    hello, i have a new windows pc, and on my old itunes i have alot of dupilates. Is it possible for itunes to put just one track rather than having o go through my libery as i have 90000 songs ?
    Thank you
    chilledphil

    Are these songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes? If there are iTunes purchases, delete them from your main iTunes library and redownload them again at no cost via iCloud.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • When i click on a link that opens up a new page i only get a page that says 'search bookmarks and history' when it should show up as a new page like for a survey. I tried re-installing firefox with no luck. How can i fix this?

    How can i fix this?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    >In Firefox 4 Safe mode also disables plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and hardware acceleration (Tools > Options > Advanced > General)

  • When trying to install Firefox in my laptop (Win 7) I recieve a message that says File is corrupt and I cant install it

    I have a Samsung laptop with Windows 7. I tried to install Firefox several times and every time keeps coming this message "File is corrupt", not letting me open it.
    Plus, I have the Norton antivirus and I don´t know if this is a problem caused by Windows version or the antivirus program.

    First repair permissions and restart your computer.  Reinstall the latest version of flash player.  Again repair permissions and restart your computer. 

  • I have been trying to install firefox but when l get to the setup type, firefox tells me to close firefox to proceed with installation, when l do it ask me if l want to cancel, l want firefox but l can't get it. tell me what to do next.

    I am trying to install firefox and l can't get pass setup type on the type of setup whih is standard and then it tells me to close firefox so it can proceed with installation, when l do, it ask me do l want to cancel installation, if l say no then it tells me again to close firefox.

    I want to make sure you're using the auto-update system, because that's the safest most reliable way to go, and it shouldn't appear in the download manager, so I lets make sure you're doing it right. <br/>
    This is a screencast I made a couple of years ago. It refers to 3.5 and 3.6, but the steps are still the same: http://ilias.ca/screencasts/ISUHD45.mov
    If that doesn't work, then maybe your Snow Leopard account doesn't have permission to update applications?

  • Trying to install firefox-3.5, x86_64

    There are so many packages on AUR for firefox-3.5, but they require xulrunner-1.9.1. So, I installed xulrunner-1.9.1 from AUR through yaourt, but even after installing xulrunner-1.9.1 from AUR, when trying to install firefox-3.5 I still get a message saying that it requires xulrunner-1.9.1.
    How do I fix this?

    Try one that does not require Xulrunner (externally), like Firefox-PGO.

  • Exe file won't download when trying to install firefox

    I'm trying to install firefox on a windows 7 laptop and the .exe file won't download. Whenever I click the link it says: failed - network error. I've tried rebooting and downloading form other sites and get similar issues. Any ideas on what's causing this?

    The full setup. The exe file did work at times yesterday but as I said above it kept saying the download was interrupted after it had been downloading for about 20 minutes. I tried again today and the exe file won't open or download again.
