Upgrade from 6.x to 7.01 today lost saved passwords (Win7) (installation folder is \program files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 10\

I was alerted to new version when Ubuntu upgraded yesterday; this morning I did manual upgrade on Windows 7, and all my saved passwords and bookmarks are gone. History seems to be complete, and somehow this morning (without my noticing any crash) Firefox prompted me to restore the previous session, and then gave me windows from yesterday.

Solved: Firefox 7.01 was installed "as admin" from user account and it started up using admin profile. Restart of Firefox returned me to user profile.

  • I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

    I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
    If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
    If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

  • After updating to 15.0.1 Firefox opened from C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\updated\firefox.exe

    After updating to 15.0.1 this afternoon on a Win 7 64-bit machine, I restarted Firefox. Immediately Comod started showing warnings that firefox.exe was not a recognized program and was asking to access plug-in container, SVC host, and other things. Weird. So I look in Comodo and Explorer and it says the process is running from this path:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\updated\firefox.exe
    Except there is no Updated folder. This happens even when clicking the firefox.exe file in the Mozilla Firefox folder.
    Is this normal?? It seems not correct.

    Nevermind. I restarted the computer and everything seems to be back to normal - firewall and paths are correct now. So.. anyone having this problem - try restarting the machine. Never had to do that after a Firefox update before so didn't think of it.

  • Why does Firefox start from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Updated\firefox.exe" after an update? Is there anyway to fix this besides rebooting PC?

    hi, having an annoying problem after every time Firefox updates... It will launch from a nonexistent directory and cause my firewall/av to go crazy (ask to allow etc) which is very annoying.
    Picture:
    http://puu.sh/docDf/1f4bf26cb2.jpg
    It seems like I have to reboot my PC to fix this crap... any alternatives?

    That can be an issue caused by your security software.
    When an update is downloaded the Firefox builds a new program folder for the new version in the Updated folder.
    If Firefox isn't able to finish this process and move that directory to replace the current program folder then you can end up with problems like this.
    What security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

  • I upgraded to Firefox 8. Now my home page says this: "Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/browserconfig.properties.

    This is what it says on my screen when I open Firefox:
    Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/browserconfig.properties.

  • I upgraded from the 4 to the 5s today

    So I upgraded from the 4 to the 5s today at the Verizon store. The man who sold &amp; activated it for me told me it could possible take all day. Well that was this morning &amp; it has been at least 7 hours with no movement of the loading bar on the phone. It's stuck on a screen with an apple &amp; a loading bar. It hasn't moved since we left the store &amp; I have no idea if it is broke, frozen, or that slow. I need to use it for work &amp; I'm assuming it is receiving my messages &amp; calls because I cannot send messages with my old iPhone but I can still use it as long as it is on wifi. The 5s will not change from the blank apple screen with the loading bar.

    I had this issue with my wifes phone. I had to connect it to iTunes then restore from scratch to get it to work. She has had to put all her apps and music back on from the iTunes Sync. When we tried to restore from backup it failed. I think it is an incompatability issue between iPhone 4 & iPhone 5.
    My 5s restored from a backup of my 5 but only when connected to iTunes on the computer. I tried over wifi but wasnt successful. Try backing up your old phone to the computer in iTunes then restore your new phone from that back up, if it fails you will have to restore form new.

  • I was going to upgrade from 10.6.8 to mavericks 10.9.2, but the installer program notified me stating my appleworks 6 app will not run on the new set up. is there a procedure to keep or switch my documents in order to obtain the mavericks upgrade?

    I can't say personally since I never used AW, but see if these articles help:

    http://www.cultofmac.com/248546/convert-system-os-9-appleworks-6-files-to-os-x-p ages-files-os-x-tips/
    I suggest that you clone your current drive with 10.6.8 to an external drive. If you have any issues after upgrading to Mavericks, you can boot back into 10.6.8.
    Both of these applications can be used to create a clone. If you need help creating your clone, let us know.

  • Hello - I upgraded from photoshop cc to cc 2014 and lost my plug ins.  How can I move them into cc 2014? Thanks

    Hello - I upgraded from photoshop cc to cc 2014 and lost my plug ins.  How can I move them into cc 2014? Thanks

    The install of 2014 doesn't move or copy anything from a previous version, with the exception of settings. You can go into your Photoshop CC installation folder, navigate to your plugins folder and then just copy all the plugins you've installed from that folder and into the Photoshop CC 2014 plugins folder. The plugins should then be available in 2014 the next time you launch Photoshop.
    The only thing that may prevent this from working is if you're using the 32bit version of Photoshop CC. Photoshop CC 2014 is 64bit only so 32bit plugins don't work. If this is the case for you, check out the manufacturer of the plugins and see if they have 64bit versions available.

  • HT1923 This article contains the only thing that worked for me.  I also had to sign out of iCloud and uninstall it.  Then I had to delete all files and folders from all of those applications that were under Program Files, Program Files x86, and Users.

    This article contains the only thing that worked for me.  I also had to sign out of iCloud and uninstall it.  Then I had to delete all files and folders from all of those applications that were under Program Files, Program Files x86, Program Data and Users.  My iPhone 4 will now sync with iTunes both in its USB-connected  mini dock and over Wi-Fi.  It's unfortunate (negligent programming on the part of Apple?) that the upgrade to iTunes 11 did not remove all of those files as part of the upgrade process. 

    I am having the same issue....Same address for years - same as USPS - I tried 5 times (3 macs and 2 iPhones) and now i have 5 CHARGES for 1.00 each on my credit card. I took the credit card info off so they don't charge me anymore. How can they charge me yet still not allow me to download free updates and say I have an invalid address? I'm sure I will spend weeks or months trying to get a credit out of these incompetent idiots.

  • Itunes was working fine. Tries to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue.

    Thanks b noir,
    I tried this solution without success. After FixIt ran and didn't find a problem, either in looking for issues with "software upgrade" or "iTunes" it kindly offered to help me uninstall iTunes. I had thought of this as a possibilty but it seems to me that if you do that you lose a lot of "non-native-to-Apple" information you might have entered. I did this once and recovery was painfull. Is there a way to uninstall iTunes without losing all of that sort of thing? Any help would be appreciated.
