Update firefox appears on screeen, requires disabling McAfee and Real Player, which I do not trust

A message appears on my screen when I open Firefox that an update to 5.0 is available. When I then asked for the update, I got the message that myvirus protection McAfee and Real Plyer had to be disabled. I do not trust this message, for all I know there is some hoax. Why would a brouwser update need the virus protection disabled?

I am trying to connect to tyne internet and computer requires my user and password in which i do not remember

i am trying to connect to tyne internet and computer requires my user and password in which i do not remember

I'm guessing that you are referring to Tyne Internet in the UK? Are you forgetting your Tyne username and passcode, or one for the computer? To recover the Tyne, you will need to contact them. If it is your Mac, from what little I understand about Mac computers, do you have it in your Keychain?

Mozilla firefox 3.6.4 doesn't work with real player.because of this i don't want to update MF 3.6.3...What can i do

mozilla firefox 3.6.4 doesn't work with real player...can't download any videos...what can i do
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== update to 3.6.4. version

If you install 3.6.3 and don't want it to automatically upgrade you need to open the browser and select "Tools" from the menu bar. Go to "Options". Select the "Advanced" icon. Go to the "update" tab on the "Advanced" menu. Here you can configure how and what Firefox updates.
Hope that helps.

Java update and real player update not compatable with firefox 6 on Windows 7. Will they still function right?

When i opened firefox today , there were updates but when it tried to update it came back that java and real player updates were not compatable with my firefox. I have Firefox 6. Will these 2 programs still work all right if they are not updated?
I'm sorry I don't know what installed plugins I have. After putting in search it says I have Java 6 Standard Edition Update 26. I have Real Player(tm)(win32), Version 14.0.4 652. Hope that is enough information

I just had a similar issue and I ended having to manually clean up the registry to get Java working again.
I just got a new computer at work and it had Java 7 installed but it turns out an app we need to use at work doesn't work with Java 7, only Java 6.
I uninstalled Java 7 and installed Java 6 but Firefox was not showing the Java plugin as installed. I tried all sorts of things, including uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and none of it worked. Finally I again uninstalled Java and then I searched for "Java" in the registry and found TONS of entries still in there for Java, including for Java 7. I manually deleted all the entries (WARNING: this is extremely risky) rebooted, then installed Java 6 and now it's working fine.
I really hate it when uninstallers leave stuff behind. It just makes a mess.

I updated Firefox on my Mac (10.6.8), and now history is not remembered (that option is checked) and the back button won't work. Help?

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

When I turn on firefox the sound of an alarm begins and keeps going. I did not download or add or open anything. A sound like the old pacman game initiates the never ending alarm. It does not occur with safari and ends if I close firefox.

== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I opened firefox

dont have google open in a tab!!!!!!!!
(if you are one who opens FF and it opens google then immediately open another tab to go to a site then just visit the site from the page that opened without opening a new tab)
OR
if you have cool preview then disable that
(the sound is for the celebration of 30 years of pacman and you can play the game on google's homepage)

Hi tania184,
Have you contacted your email provider to make sure there are no problems on their end? If they say their email servers are working properly, check the outgoing and incoming mail servers entries on your iPhone to make sure both are entered correctly. Enter the outgoing mail server even if the account setup indicates that is optional.

Although I am logged in as an admin, I can't check for updates or update Firefox. I'm on a Mac and would rather not delete this version and just reinstall the new version bc I don't want to lose my bookmarks. Please help - thanks.

I need to update Firefox to the latest version, but check for updates is grayed out. I am already logged in as an admin for my computer (it's a Mac), but my computer is telling me that I don't have permission to update Firefox. How can I update Firefox? I don't want to delete and reinstall because then I will lose my bookmarks.
Thanks!

'''I have also been having a problem I thought it was me or my computer'''as I am not really that good with my computer ,Also there are pages that I try to go to hat says pages busy or moved can not connect,but I can from explorer.

I just updated Firefox. That led to a recommended list of plugins, which disappeared after I installed the first one. How can I get the list back?

Put another way, how can I find out which plugin updates Firefox or Mozilla recommends for my computer?

Just bought an AirPort Extreme which requires a Airport Ulitity update. The update needed is not supported on my HD. It requires OSxV10.7.5 which I do not have. What can I do??

Options:
Update your operating system to 10.7.5 (Lion) or 10.8.x (Mountain Lion)
Use or borrow another Mac that is running 10.7.5 or 10.8.x to install the AirPort Extreme
Use an iPhone or iPad for the installation

Having problems with updating Firefox. It keeps on saying can not connect try again later.

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Real Player Video Downloader does not work anymore - isn't even accessible anymore - after Firefox / Adobe Flash Player update, how to fix this?

Real Player Video Player no longer provides option to download after my Firefox / Adobe Flash Player updated. How can this be fixed?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After FireFox / Adobe Flashplayer Update

Hi David, try dropping the .dll extension, in fact you can just enter dom.ipc.plugins and it should come up. Or enter the whole thing and then backspace until it comes up. Also, I have Windows 7(x64) and this fix worked fine for me.

Firefox Displays "Peer's certificate has an invalid signature." SubCA shows "Could not trust this certificate for unknown reasons"

Using a 2-tier on-premise PKI. Offline Root CA (Standalone Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise) and online SubCA for issuing certificates (Domain-Joined Issuing CA)
ROOTCA certificate installed in the store and showing trusted (Uses a SHA2 signature and PKCS #1 SHA-256 With RSA Encryption algorithm)
ISSUINGCA certificate installed in the store and showing "Could not trust for unknown reasons" also has SHA2 signature with RSASSA-PSS algorithm
Issued certificate is for a Lync Front-End Web Server and when attempts are made to load the secure web connection. I receive the error "Peer's certificate has an invalid signature"
I've completely de-installed and re-installed Firefox. Removed and re-added the ROOT and SUBCA certs. Note: No issues when using same certs in Internet Explorer 8, 9 or 10 on the same system. Lync client also using same certificates, no issues. Only when accessing the Lync Web Services from Firefox.
Question: Does Firefox NSS Internal PCKS#11 Module support RSASSA-PSS SHA-256 with different hashes? How can I troubleshoot this further?

HI khetheri,
In order to better test the certificate may we request the certificate without the private keys? I have some backup from the security team if this is possible.
There is a temporary work around as well but I don't recommend turning on all certificates to make sure it is not a compatibility error(ish)
It is possible to check if it is being detected as a bad certificate in Firefox itself to eliminate compatibility issues.
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Search for '''browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert ''' and set it to true to try the certificate normally.
Looking forward to your reply!
