Tried to update Firefox, it appeared to be successful, but when I try to launch it, it asks me to reboot. I even tried to remove it, but it just asks me to reboot, which I did with no result.

When I try to launch the app, it says I must restart to complete an upgrade of Firefox. I reboot, but nothing changes. It just keeps asking me to restart the computer. I even tried to do add/remove, but all I get is that incredibly annoying dialog box asking me to restart. It's a neverending loop.

Ive tried restarting and reinstalling and still ave the issue...

  • HT204266 I have redeemed points on my account but, when I try to buy a song I tunes doesnt use them it tries to access the credit card associated with the account for payment.

    I have redeemed points on my account but, when I try to buy a song I tunes doesnt use them it tries to access the credit card associated with the account for payment. How do I tell this thing to use the points instead. duh

    By 'redeemed points' I assume that you mean that you've redeemed an iTunes gift card onto your account (?). If you do then are you trying to buy songs for yourself or are you trying to gift them - you can only gift items from a credit card, an account's balance can't be used for gifting. If you are buying for yourseflt and you are being asked to enter/verify a credit card number then are you currently in the country where your iTunes account is based ?

    Thank you so much. I finally got it to work. I don't know why it has to be such an ordeal when it comes to Adobe products!

    Are you getting " buy " on Creative Cloud App?
    If yes then sign out from Creative Cloud App and sign back
    Sign out, Sign in | Creative Cloud Desktop app
    If you are getting the same status then check your hosts file entries once

    If so, then review the first link to see if you can troubleshoot your issue yourself. If that doesn't work, then contact iTunes Support via the second link below:

  • Mac OS 10.5.6 downloaded Firefox 3.6.13 Came as .dmg When I try to launch it says "Not Recognized". Right click for "Open With" refers me to Disk Utility when same results "Not Recognized"

    About my Mac > G5 Desktop OS 10.5.6
    Want to upgrade to Firefox 3.6.13
    The download comes as a compressed file in .dmg format. When I attempt to launch the .dmg file to decompress I get a error message that says: The following disk images failed to mount: Image > Firefox 3.6.13 Reason > Not Recognized. When I right click to see what opening app it is directed to it says: Open with "DiskImageMounter (default). Disk Utility is offered as another opening resource when I direct the file to Disk Utility and go to Menu Bar select "File" then select "Open Disk Image" (or Cmd + "O") I get the same result. Have tried downloading the file twice more and get the same results

    Vk2mh it sounds like the download was not complete or corrupted.  Where are you downloading the update from?  Have you tried downloading again?

  • I'm trying to download 4.0 and get a 10661 message when I try to launch the app.

    I had 3.6.16 working perfectly fine. I downloaded 4.0 from your prompt when I opened 3.6. Once downloaded the graphic of the fox that I'm supposed to drag into my applications folder has a white circle w/cross on it and when I put it in my applications folder anyway I get the 10661 error message that it can't open?
    Since I overwrote my 3.6.16 version now I don't have firefox at all!
    Please help.

    This might help explain

  • Trying to update Firefox: download latest version, follow directions to install, when restart still have old version

    Trying to update Firefox from 3.6.22 to 6.0.2
    I download latest version, follow directions to install (move to app folder, drag to dock) but the old version in the dock is what opens.
    So I removed old version from dock, put new version in, and restarted computer for good measure.
    But when I restart still have old version...
    How do I get the newest version of Firefox to be the one my computer uses?
    Have tried to download and install several times over several months without success...

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    That version cannot be upgraded further if it's a 2G model. The 3G model can be upgraded to iOS 5.x.x. You can't have a 2G model because the maximum iOS version is 4.2.1.

  • DdI am unable to access firefox or thunderbird after trying to update firefox

    I tried to update firefox and both my firefox and thunderbird are not accessable any more. I tried to delete them and start over with no success. I get a widdow saying I must reboot to delete a prior version of firefox and when I click it that is the end. now I can not access my e-mail to get information from mozilla.

    hello arbenny, this is an old homepage that wasn't maintained after firefox 4, but it was still hosted by google for the time the search contract between google and mozilla was in place, which is now no longer the case.
    the new default homepage that firefox uses now is '''about:home''', which you can set like described at [[How to set the home page]]

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest 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 program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • After trying to update Firefox, get a dialogue box everytime I try to open Firefox.

    Tried to update Firefox. Now have two separate Firefox icons on my desktop. When I try to open either one, I get a dialogue box reading: "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." Firefox loads fine after closing box. Fix?

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I have just downloaded firefox 3.6.11 and adobe flashplayer update and adobe reader update. Now I cannot get firefox to open. I have tried removing the program but when I try to do that it says that I need to close firefox - but of course it is not open

    I have just downloaded firefox 3.6.11 and adobe flashplayer update and adobe reader update. Now I cannot get firefox to open. I have tried removing Firefox but when I try to do that it says that I need to close firefox - but of course it is not open. I have waited a long time but nothing has happened so I am getting desperate Thanks -- Jerry

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.
