Update available for firefox 3.6.12 but won't install;says connection timed out

I've had firefox 3.6.12 for a couple of months. it says an upgrade is available, but won't install. says connection timed out. I tried it from IE 8 as well, same result. Took me a half our just to get to mozilla.com I installed IE 8 2 days ago, and since then, my monitor flashes the page when i'm in gmail. Also flash videos won't play worth a crap. I just installed K-lite Mega 6.6 to try to fix that.

I wonder if it's not some of the newer technologies like HTML 5 that the other browsers support. I have the same problem, and the sites load fine in Opera. I still have 3.6 (whatever's latest), and haven't upgraded to 4 yet because of all the extensions I use. I'm waiting until it's more stable and my more important extensions are usable. I use Hulu's desktop viewer and Opera to make up for it, currently.
Adding screenshots of my experience with it. The text will load, but no video or images. That's why I thought it might be some new language / protocol.

  • Installed successfully, But not able to open any website, says connection timed out.

    I have installed firefox successfully. When i enter any website its status shows connecting, For eg. Connecting to gmail.com, but after some time it says connection timed out.
    No problem with internet, i can open the same website with other browsers.
    Please look at this. I faced the same with the 2 versions FireFox5.0 and 3.5
    OS - Windows7 64 bit operating system.

    Thank you for your help Steve! Unfortunately it is still not working. I have tried all day long ... please see attached the two error messages that I'm getting from InDesign alone. Do you have any further advise?
    Thank you!

    I am using itunes 10.5. Update didnt work on last software but restore did work. Help

    After two days of attempts, Google & Apple searches, one Apple post stated to turn off all firewalls and virus software and keep trying since there were 6 gazillion people trying to update.  I have Windows 7 & Kaspersky and had to diable every single safety feature in Kaspersky as well as Firewalls and it finally allowed the download and update attempt. 
    Glancing at the forum, there appears to be numerous other problems with missing pictures, text problems etc after the IOS5 download but fortuneately, everything seems ok so far.  Good luck, it is frustrating!  Hattie47

    Try disabling the security software on your computer. Also try powering off and then back on your router and modem. The former worked for some, the later for me.

  • While updating i receive error msg saying connection timed out?

    i receive an error msg while updating versions, ( Network connection timed out ) i never had any troubles with my connection!! whats the solution:(
    plz email me at [email protected]

    I have a quick wifi connection (Mac shows it as about 35 megabits) but I couldn't get the 5.0.1 OTA to work, I had to do it via cable to my computer's iTunes - and as I was already on iOS 5 it was only a small download, basically the same size as the OTA size.
    As the original poster is talking about a 730 meg download then I assume that they are still on iOS 4.3.5 or below and can therefore only download via their computer's iTunes - you need to be on iOS 5+ before you get the OTA option.

  • Tried to install Firefox 14.0.1. Won't install, says I need XP, but I have XP.

    Downloaded Firefox 14.0.1. Would not install. Got message: "This version of Firefox requires Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or newer."
    I have dial-up and it took an hour to load, now it won't install. Very frustrating, particularly as I have Windows XP. Why won't it load?
    Thank you.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode.
    You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab.
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.

    Is it this add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/screenshot/
    Prior to the release of Firefox 5 which is due out on June 21st, Mozilla will be checking add-ons that are hosted on AMO and work with Firefox 4 to see if they work with Firefox 5, and for those that do they will update the compatibility details to let the add-on install on Firefox 5.
    If you are happy testing new versions of Firefox prior to the release, you may want to install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
    With this extension you can enable all of your current extensions to test them to see if they work with the development version of Firefox.

    What is the latest version and updates available of Firefox for Mac system 10.3.9? Can you provide a link of this for downloading. I am currently using Firefox 2.0.0.20 but need to upgrade to use Bell.net email.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last version that works on OS X 10.3.9
    You may want to consider using another browser if 2.0.0.20 does not work for your email. You could try using Safari for your email. If that does not work or prefer an alternative, a couple of options are [http://www.icab.de/dl.php iCab 4.8] or [http://www.opera.com/download/?os=mac&ver=9.64&local=y Opera 9.64] (Opera 10 does not work on OS X 10.3.9)

  • I keep getting notified I have an update available but when I try to update I get the following msg ,"You have updates available for other accounts". I only have one account with apple and purchased the software when I got my macbook in Aug 2012.

    I keep getting notified I have an update available but when I try to update I get the following msg ,"You have updates available for other accounts To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.". I only have one account with apple and the software was preinstalled when I purchased my macbook in Aug 2012 with that account. Has anyone had this problem or know how to find out what account apple needs?

    You log into the App store using the same Apple ID you used to set the computer up, verify that none of your apps are hidden and that they have all be accepted and then download and install the update
    for help contact the App store support - link is on the right ot the App store window
