Updated to firefox 5 and I'me sorry I did

Updated to firefox 5 and had all sorts of problems loading web pages, redid my anti virus programs and solved that issue, I have an account at pogo but the scrabble game tells me I have to download java, everytim I download java i get 1606 error, I tried the manual download option java recommends and I still get 1606 error. I un-installed java and when I try to install the latest version of java, I'm back to the 1606 error again...any suggestions? Thanks!

yes I did, and I clicked on the link you supplied here and got the 1606 error message again. Which I'm told is a instal-shield error. I thought this was a firefox problem so I tried using internet explorer and got the same 1606 error.

    I updated to Firefox 4 and now I get a Firefox has stopped working mesage whenever I try to load any websites. I updated my video driver and cleared my history to see if that would help. I looked for a crash ID on the homepage, but the last registered crash is from February. I also tried to open in Firefox safe mode, but the problem continued to occur. I'm not sure what to do next, please help!

  • Can anyone tell me why my collusion .27 add-on stopped working when I updated to firefox 20 (and now 21?).

    Can anyone tell me why my collusion .27 add-on stopped working when I updated to firefox 20 (and now 21?). I've tried removing and reinstalling to no avail. I even deleted my profile files and had firefox repopulate those automatically to no avail. And it's not the only add-on to have stopped working.

  • Updated to FireFox 11 and I keep getting "checking compatibility of add-on" when I start the browser.

    I just updated to FireFox 11 and whenever I start the browser, I get that annoying window that checks for the compatibility of add-ons.
    I have looked around for solutions and have tried the following:
    1. Deleting several extension files from the profile folder.
    2. Going to about:config to disable the extension:checkcompatibility (does not exist there).
    None of these worked.

    Did you try to delete the file prefs.js?

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    Some security software has virtualization features that can cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Updated to Firefox 21 and when I open the firefox browser it ask me to update to the latest version

    I finally updated to Firefox 21 and today when I opened the Firefox browser, my google homepage looks odd and a large message from Firefox appears saying I need to update to the latest version of Firefox. I double checked the version and I have version 21.
    I also don't know if this has anything to do with my current problem. A pop up window is suddenly appearing just after I turn on my PC, at first I thought it was triggered by Firefox. It's a security warning saying the certificate from GEOtrust SSL CA isn't a trusted certification authority for javadl-esd-secure.oracle certificate. I just find it odd that this message just started a few days ago and now after updating Firefox to the latest version, it's still telling me to update. Thanks

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • I updated to Firefox 4 and now I don't seem to have the Mozilla weather program, which I had before. Can't remember the name of the weather program.

    I can't remember the name of the Mozilla weather program that was on my computer, but it's no longer there now that I've updated to Firefox 4.0.1. I don't know how to get it back!

    You ''may'' have created a customized Google home page. Try this address and when you find your customized page, you can make it your home page:

    ''On the other hand'', if your weather appeared in a toolbar, it's possible that the add-on is not yet compatible with Firefox 4. If you explore the following list, can you find a disabled weather add-on?
    (If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key)

  • Updated to Firefox 8 and now lost my calender in Lightning because it's not compatible. What can I do, and where's my old calender information?

    Upgraded to Firefox 8 and now I've lost my Lightning calender that I used in Thunderbird because it's not compatible with 8. What can I use now and where is my old calender information?

    Hi Brian,
    You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Updated to Firefox 5, and now my Yahoo Toolbar won't show any of the buttons.

    I delayed updating to Firefox, because V3 worked so well and V4 sucked. But as a security concern, I finally made the upgrade and discovered my Yahoo Toolbar isn't working properly.
    The Toolbar is there, but the buttons I've all added are gone. I can't make changes in preferences, the toolbar is enabled... I just have no buttons.
    I've upgraded to the most recent Toolbar, which was supposed to work with Firefox 5... but it doesn't.
    Help!

    My FF6.0 was fine till it updated (automatically) and then no toolbar buttons.

  • Firefox seems to download updates correctly, but it never applies them. When I try to update manually, Firefox closes and reopens, but it's not updated.

    This basically means that I have to watch for updates and update Firefox by re-downloading it from firefox.com each time. It's like the "Apply Update" button mysteriously turned into a "restart Firefox" button.

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 12.0.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 your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • Mozilla just updated to Firefox 4 and disabled my F5 access. I can no longer work from home!

  • I keep getting flashes on my pogo screen and everything is updated except i haven't updated to firefox 5 cus it says it wont support certain items is it safe to update to firefox 5 and still play pogo and will flashes go away

    As stated I keep getting flashing on my screen when playing pogo games. Everything is updated, cache is cleared, javascript is cleared. It is also happening in IE8 now. I prefer using firefox as I am sight impaired and it's easier to use and see. Techs from Webroot and Pogo have checked computer and can't find anything that would cause this. I am afraid to update to firefox 5 for fear it will get worse. HELP please

    From the Firefox help files;<BR><BR>
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
