What does it mean when it says "currently on the release update channe " l

under the about firefox help thing at the top of the page( ,after i downloaded the9.0.1. update thingy )there is a sentence that now says "You are currently on the RELEASE update channel." What does that mean ? & does it have anything to do with the extremely slow response time &/or almost continuous"page not found" or "unable to connect to web" crap I keep getting 95%of the time I attempt to go on line ? p.s. I have dial-up with no possibility of getting high speed any time in the next 5 yrs.,thanks to my location here in Alaska so lets not even go there :) & what used to take me 5min.to do re; E-mail etc, now takes up to 20 min. but only after I downloaded that 9.0.1 stuff. Please Help Me !!!

The Release update channel is the correct update channel for normal Firefox users.<br />
There are other update channels that are meant for testing future Firefox version for more experienced people to look for bugs and try out the code that will appear in those new versions.<br />
Normal users shouldn't use such test versions, so you are fine with what you currently have.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Angel Season 5 -- what does it mean when it says "repackage"?

    For some reason there are two versions of Angel Season 5 listed and only one of them is on sale.  The one that is on sale says "repackage" in the product title and I was wondering if that meant that it was used, or if maybe it just meant different packaging.  So, what does it mean when it says "repackage"?
    This is the page I was looking at http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8014631&productCategoryId=cat02564&type=product&id=1568268
    Thanks!
    Heather

    Hey Heather -
    The only difference in those two skus is the actual packaging.  One is a thicker package (older one) and one is a thinner packaging (newer one).  You should be able to receive the sale price on either. 
    I hope this helps!

  • What does it mean when it says to eject before disconnecting Ipod?

    What does it mean when it says to eject before disconnecting Ipod?

    When you press the eject button, iTunes checks to make sure if it has finished using the iPod. When it has finished (and if no other programme is using your iPod, such as anti-virus programmes) iTunes will confirm to you that it is then safe to disconnect the iPod (unplug the cable).
    If you unplug an iPod from your computer while iTunes or any other prgramme is using the iPod, it will probably corrupt the files and you may be unable to use some or all songs until you Restore the iPod.

  • In iBooks,what does it mean when it says: you have already purchased this item. To download it check available downloads in the store menu?

    In iBooks,what does it mean when it says: you have already purchased this item. To download it check available downloads in the store menu?

    Apologies if I seem rude but isn't it obvious?
    you have already purchased this item means you have already purchased this item - you don't need to buy it, you've already bought it.
    To download it check available downloads in the store menu means to download it check available downloads in the store menu. So if you look at your top menu bar (in your iTunes programme) select the Store and from the menu that appears, select Check for available downloads. My guess (and I realise I'm risking my reputation here ) is that when you click on that, you will see a list of the items you've bought which will include anything you haven't yet downloaded to your iTunes. I assume there will be an option with that list to download those items.
    I would like to thank the person who thought of the idea of taking different words and putting them in a certain order, so that those words form a sentence, and that sentence can then be read by other people and those people understand. Genius!

  • What does it mean when it says signiture is requried for download

    What does it mean when it says signiture is required for download

    It suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

    what does it mean when it says "ipad has lost it's pairing"

    If you are getting that message when you try to sync your iPad, eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and then try to sync again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, just try using a different USB port.

  • What does it mean when it says there is a problem with the sim card?

    What does it mean when it says there is a problem with the sim card?

    Exactly that, there is a problem with the sim card.
    The sim card is the little chip that links your iPad to the cellular providers network to get internet anywhere.
    It may have moved in the tray and lost contact, it may have an actual issue, or it may be deactivated by your cellular service provider.
    Contact them to have them look at it or your service and see if there is anything wrong with it.

  • HT4101 What does it mean when it says that the USB device requires too much power?

    What does it mean when it says that the USB device requires too much power, when using the ipad lightening pin camera connection kit?

    Just that. The iPad allocates a certain amount of power to that port. If the device you're trying to plug in wants more than the iPad is willing to give, it'll trigger that warning.
    If it's something that you just must hook up you can try using a powered USB hub, but results are mixed at best.
    What are you trying to hook to your iPad?
