I have been getting notices to instal latest version of firefox. However, I understand that SMART BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR , is not compatible. I experienced this before. Therefore, I do not want to go for it. .But at the same time, I often get problem in google documents because of no latest version.
Pl. help

The developer of '''''Smart Bookmarks Bar''''' seems to have abandoned that Add-on and has not issued an update to it since 2009-02-13.
*See --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/smart-bookmarks-bar/versions/
Have a look at a very similar Add-on named '''''Roomy Bookmarks Toolbar'''''. If you like that Add-on, un-install '''''Smart Bookmarks Bar''''' before installing it.

Unable to install new version of firefox 3.6.14

can download latest version of firefox using ei, but when I try to install firefox a window pops up say 'unable to install until the running copy of firefox is closed. Check Task manager & there are no tasks running. Now do i get over this problem!

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6.* you can uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Have installed latest version of Firefox but web pages keep stating I am running old version no longer supported

I keep downloading and installing latest version (8) of Firefox. The browser states I have Firefox 8. However, on Google Mail and some other websites I get a message stating I am running an out of date unsupported version of Firefox.

Reset all the '''general.useragent.''' prefs that are '''bold''' and say '''user set'''.
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter 
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' 
Filter = '''general.useragent.''' 
Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset'''''. 
Then restart Firefox

Can't watch Netflix on latest version of Nightly, says I need Silverlight but nothing changes when I install it. Help?

I'm trying to use Netflix on the latest version of Firefox's Nightly browser. It tells me I need to install Silverlight, so I did, but it just gives the same Silverlight message. When I go to reinstall Silverlight, it says Silverlight is already installed. When I go to Silverlights page on Nightly (http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/get-started/install/default.aspx) it doesn't recognize that I have it installed. When I go there on Chrome, it tells me Silverlight 5 is successfully installed.
Any ideas? I really like Nightly and don't want to switch but it's annoying to open Chrome any time I want to watch Netflix.

I don't see Silverlight on your plugins list. Can you verify?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
If it's still missing after several install attempts, make sure you haven't disabled plugin scanning. This preference is set as follows:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If '''plugin.scan.plid.all''' is not set to true, double-click it to restore it to its default value of true.
You might need to exit and restart Firefox to trigger a fresh scan. Does that help?

Unable to install latest version

I currently have version 8.0.1.11 installed on my laptop (which is running on Windows Vista) I am trying to upgrade to version 9.0.2, as my new iPod isn't compatible with the version I have running.
However I am unable to install this version, I get to the 67% stage and it freezes - I have left if running but still to no luck.
Any help?

Okay. Rather than using Apple Software update for the install, let's try downloading an installer from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does that install go through any better? Or do you get another problem at the 67% stage?

Firefox says I need to update my add ons and plug ins at startup after restarting my laptop

I'm running 10.0.2 and I get multiple tabs when i first start firefox saying i need to install updated add ons. i go thru each one and click add and then restart firefox and all is fine. later when i turn my laptop back on and then start firefox I get the same message. firefox isn't saving or acknowledging that the add ons have already been installed. what do I need to do to fix this?

thanks, it appears from searching the bitdefender forums that my BD 2010 is now an unsupported software and i could upgrade to 2012 free. after the upgrade all is well .

"license file for this version could not be found" message when trying to install latest version of Firefox

I keep trying to install Firefox 3.6.10, and it seems to work, but then when it comes time to accept the user agreement, that option is grayed out and I can only go back. In the Software License Agreement box is the following message: "The license file for this version could not be found. Please visit Firefox homepage for more information."

Do a clean reinstall and 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 skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Unable to install latest version of iTunes

I have been trying for months on end to install the latest version of iTunes. When I run the install package, it runs the entire install just fine, but then it disappears and also deletes a previous version of iTunes that I have which is version 4.6 (the only version that I am able to use). I know how to install software and downloads, but this is the only software where I am not able to download the latest version. I have Windows XP with the service pack 2 installed. Could it be that I need to disable all of the "pop-up blockers" in order to install the latest version of iTunes. I have never been so frustrated in my entire life for something that should be so simple.
If anyone knows a workaround, it would be greatly appreciated!

i just responded about this. if your situation is like mine, good luck getting apple support to help you because it is beyond them.
BUT, try them first. from what i understand this problem is relating to prior installs and permissioning with regard to quicktime. i could be wrong. there are also other possibilities. i called 5 different times and got different answres each time. finally i had to fix it myself and spending hours on the phone and visiting many sites and doing this and that with the windows installer / installshield.
finally, i modified my registry and i could install. but you should not do this unless you know exactly what you are doing since it can cause your computer to stop working - seriously, don't even think about it. call support. maybe after so many people complain about this they will fix their quicktime install (which i'm told is the problem) or put a web page telling people how to remedy the problem. good luck.

Firefox says I need to update Java plugin 2 but there is no available update on Apple software update

no apple update

Thanks for the info. I checked and the version of Java on my Mac is 1.60_29 (20.4-b02-402), which is the latest version for OS X 10.6.8, correct? I also note that I have a pop-up when I go into email which states that my browser is blocking Flash, and I should upgrade to Flash 9. I think that my version is Flash 11, and the plug in is up to date. I note a similar comment from another user. I updated to Firefox 11.0 on March 16th. No other changes. Java plugin still reads update

I am unable to install latest version of Flash Player

I get an error message saying "unable to contact trackers". I have followed all the guidance on the Adobe troubleshooter to no avail. Any ideas?

Hi PJA01,
I'm sorry that you experienced technical issues.
In order to better understand the cause of the problem, could you please provide me with following information?
1. Can you tell me a little about your network connection? For example, are you connected from home using your internet service provider, at work using work network, or at home connected through VPN?
2. Does your connection go through proxy server?
3. Are you using some kind of firewall? Is it personal or corporate firewall?
4. OS that you are using
5. Browser and browser version you are using.
Thank you,

I can't navigate between tabs using a mouse click since I installed latest version of Firefox

Running ver 30. which is fine, but I cannot switch between open tabs using a left mouse click on the tab I wish to activate, as I have been doing for years. Have to use Ctrl-Tab instead. Don't like this. This problem started with this version of FF.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
