Trying to update Firefox. Applying udate continues to "spin". How long should it take to update???

Updates shouldn't take "forever" ... i.e. <30 mins.??

Try this:
*Download the Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
*Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon

    Did you try unplugging the power cord for a few seconds, then plugging it back in? That usually fixes similar problems for me.

  • Tell me how to download an update of Foxfire to a conclusion. How long should it take. I have run it for hours and hours and it never quits or is successful.

    Tell me how long a download of Foxfire takes and why it never is successful on my E-machine that is 2 years old.

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and if there are still problems, delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    You may need to 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.

  • Mac mini update how long should this take?

    I accepted an update for it about 20mins ago, it rebooted and has just been sat there, not doing much? Do I just need patience, it makes the normal hard drive noises now and then.

    I don't know how long migration takes...it's a process frought with potential problems. I strongly suggest a clean install of OSX followed by clean installs of your software if it is at all possible. While it may seem like a pain, it's no worse than the 6 hrs + you have already spent. I think you'll find -most- folks here prefer to not use migration assistant. A short search on migration assistant will show you why.

  • I was requested to do a software update, but the window just keeps showing that it is connecting to the update server. How long should it take?

    I was requested by Mozilla Firefox to do an update, and per the request I clicked on the update. A window came up (it is now gone@#$^&!!!!) and it just kept repeating that it was connecting to the update server. It appeared to be actively trying to connect, but I never got a message saying that it did and that the update had indeed been done. Can you please assist me with this issue?

    You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.

  • HT2404 How long should it take to download combo 10.7.4 OS to my pro book.I bought it a year ago and it has Lion. It has. Been downloading for almost 12 hours and is only about half done. I am also downloading  an iTunes update. I am using wifi.

    Trying to download OSX Lion combo plus iTunes  update.taking 11 hours so ar.i am using wifi and am also plugged in to a power source.My Probook is a year old and has Lion.

    What happens is that the weaker the battery, the less time it takes it to charge (and run down) because it doesn't take long to reach its lowered maximum capacity.
    Although I never worry about my battery and leave my portables plugged in most of the time, that isn't necessarily the best thing for the battery.

    Can someone help me please? My ipad has been stuck with the same apple sign and the "loading" bar underneath for 2 hours now and i cannot do anything about it. Please help!

    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

  • How long should it take to update lion?

    I downloaded the lion update and it has been 24 hrs and my screen says installing 1 item .. Moving items into place.. Is is normal for it to take so long?

    If it's been moving items into place for all that time than it's stuck.  Others had this also and they rebooting and things were fine.

  • How long should it take to update a 30gig to version 1.2 ?

    My update has now taken 2 hours and the update indicator is still active. If it's relevant, I only had about 2.5 gigs of songs on it. The Ipod screen indicates it's charged, and when I touch the click wheel I get the menu.
    If it doesn't stop after x hours, should I disconnect? It's not showing up as connected in Itunes, but I imagine I could use Xp's device disconnect app. Thanks.

    i am assuming since the ipod is not connected it isn't upgrading anything.
    i am having the same problem. i hit ok to update, and then my ipod ejects. i have been having this problem for over 3 weeks! i can't even put any tv shows on the thing now when i just wasted $30 bucks downloading some for a vacation. T_T

  • How long should it take to update increased iCloud storage I have purchased

    Hi
    I have purchased additional I cloud storage but is not reflected in storage volume. Trying to store info/ data but still states I only have 5 mb of free storage ??

    The storage on your phone cannot be increased.
    iCloud is a service which syncs your information and backs up your data.   It will backup up to 5 GB of data free.
    If your phone is out of room, you have to delete contents to make room.
