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

  • Installed new version of Firefox, now scroll wheel does not work

    Installed new version of Firefox, now my scroll wheel does not work. I need this fixed immediately or will be forced to abandon Firefox as my browser. Can anyone help? I saw some Q&A on this but no definite fix. Thanks!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Immediately after I installed

    I have the same problem, plus more. I cannot click on a button, does no good. I have been using 3.01, would never upgrade; always had a problem since 3.5. Now I upgrade to 3.66 figuring the problems were over, wrong. No scroll wheel, no buttons, cannot close half the windows, cannot go to a bookmarked page. Did Microsoft take over Mozilla? If I wanted a junk browser, I would use IE. I want the Firefox that it used to be; stable, reliable. What happened? Only way I can get Firefox to work is in safe-mode.

  • Updater is not connecting to update server, unable to dowload new version of Firefox.

    Every time when I'm prompted to upgrade to a new version of Firefox, the updater refuses to connect to the update server. When downloading it manually I get a message that says "Unknown disk image". What to do? As it is a security update it would be nice to get it downloaded...

    If there are 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 disk image (dmg) file to the desktop

    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install

  • Unable to install new version of Nokia Software Up...

    I opened NUS today and was told there is a new version available. I accepted downloading it, however the installer at one point gave the message "Error 1714. The older version of Nokia Software Updater cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group.".
    What I tried to get around the problem (with no results):
    - I followed this procedure; after I ran the MSI file, I ended up with a very similar error message about an older version not being able to be uninstalled
    - used Nokia PC Suite Cleaner, and manually deleted the files that were unable to be deleted by the program
    - cleared the temp folders
    - restarted my computer
    Can anyone suggest what else I can try to make the NSU installer work?

    If you have installed Microsoft Installer v4.5 (WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe) then uninstall it. Use good uninstaller to uninstall that HotFix because Windows inbuilt Add/Remove programs does not show this HotFix as installed program. Try this and tell me the result.

  • Unable to Install New version of iTunes due to Bonjour.

    Okay, I was trying to install the new version of iTunes for my ipod nano w/camera i just bought. While i was downloading, i had to download a newer version of Bonjour.

  • Unable to install new version of itunes

    I am unable to install the new version of itunes. When I download the new version w/ QuickTime, part of the way through the installation I get an error, the installation was interrupted, please reinstall later, click finish to exit.

  • Unable to install new version of app without deleting old one first

    When I get a new version of an app from my developers (with ad-hoc provisioning), if I just drag it to iTunes and then try to sync with my phone, the app does not make it over. Itunes/iphone dont realize that the new version needs to be installed. I am forced to delete the app from the phone first, and THEN doing the sync. This works, but of course this method loses all the the app data each time.
    Is it possible to upgrade an iphone app in-place while preserving the old data? If so, how?
    Also, I find that I have to delete the app from itunes as well before dragging the new version in . Otherwise the old version gets installed again on the phone.
    Thanks in advance
    Jay

    This may be something unique with the ad-hoc provisioning used by your developers since the same is not required when installing an app update via the iTunes app store.

  • Unable to install new version of quicktime

    Ive tried to install the new version of quicktime but windows tells me that "it cannot uninstall the older version
    of the program". Went to add and remove and deleted the older version. No quicktime files remaining in the windows system 32 folder. Have disabled all virus, spyware and firewall programs, in fact have disabled all programs in msconfig startup tab. No quicktime folder shows in windows explorer. Show all hidden files marked. I am system admin. on my computer. Have deleted the contents of the temp folder and the trash bin. Still the same error. This also prevents me from using the newer version of itunes.
    Please help as I have been at this for quite a while now

  • If i install new version of Firefox with standalone installer instead of using built in updater, should i uninstall older version first? Would i lose my datas?

    As part of end of year maintenance program, i clean my computer and update softwares. I'm currently with Firefox 4.0.1, and want to upgrade to 8. However, the built in updater downloads horribly slow and demands the browser to be active. Most of the times it stated failure and asks me to download the installer myself.
    I'm okay with this. Firefox has always be my favorite. But before i do 8.0.1's installation, should i uninstall the old one? Or will it be rewritten automatically? Would i lose my bookmarks and extensions this way?
    Win7 64 bit
    p.s: (if someone could tell me how to back up 'Scrapbook' data i'll be so thankful)

    You can install latest version on top of older version,and if you install on top of older version, your bookmark will restored

  • Unable to install new version of LCCS navigator...

    Anyone able to get it to install? Keeps giving me errors

    This is a related post:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3653241
    Basically if you have an old version of the navigator (before May 2011) and are trying to update to a newer version you should uninstall the old version and install the new version from scratch. The problem is related to a change in the certificate required to sign the AIR app (Adobe policy) that made the two versions incompatible.
    If you dont have the navigator installed and/or have a reasonably new version please post the navigator version and possibly a screenshot of your error. "Gives me error" is not really very helpful

  • I am unable to load new version of firefox. I get error message.

    I get a message saying you can't open the document.icn or something like that. I go through whole installation process but when it asks to keep duplicate or replace it then gives me error message. Very frustrating. Happened with an earlier version but I found a way around it then. Can you help?

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
