When trying to install newest version of Firefox, get administator password box popup

I had firefox 15.0.1 on my computer, I tried to update, and could not. So, I uninstalled the older version, thinking that there was some sort of conflict between the old and newer versions. So, when I try to install Firefox 16.0.1, I get an administrator pop up box saying I need rights to continue. The word administrator is in the user name box, and the password box is empty. I have never entered/ or used an administrator password, and cannot figure out why this box keeps coming up. My system is a PC using Windows 7 32 bit.
Appreciate any help you can give. Thanks, CraigL

  • "license file for this version could not be found" message when trying to install latest version of Firefox

    I keep trying to install Firefox 3.6.10, and it seems to work, but then when it comes time to accept the user agreement, that option is grayed out and I can only go back. In the Software License Agreement box is the following message: "The license file for this version could not be found. Please visit Firefox homepage for more information."

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.<br />
    Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

    I keep getting an msvcr80.dll error when trying to download newest version of iTunes.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), the following Microsoft document is worth a try:

  • Trying to dowload newest version of Firefox and after prompted 2 drag Firefox icon into Applications folder get message that task can't be completed bc Firefox is in use but only use I'm making is to have FF open to download new version.

    Trying to download newest version and after prompted to drag the Firefox icon into the Applications folder get message that task can't be completed bc Firefox is in use, but only use I'm making of Firefox is to have it open to download the newest version.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • E drive has not worked sine I installed newest version of firefox

    Since I installed the most recent version of firefox , I have been unable to back up or format Dvd+R's

    If Firefox disabled some add-ons (especially extensions), it likely is because they include a list of compatible Firefox versions and haven't yet been updated for Firefox 5.
    For more information on avast, see this thread: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/841934 I have just updated Firefox on my desktop. In order to operate it had to disable avast, my open source excellent anti virus software - a surprise that Firefox is compatible! Is there an avast! update that is compatible? Or a fix from Firefox coming? | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

  • Download and install newest version but still get error - "requires latest version of flash player"

    I keep getting a message that something won't work because the latest version of flash player needs to be installed.  I go through the download and install for flash player but still get the message.  After the install I never get any setup steps.  I have tried uninstalling what ever version of flash player is on my computer before the download and install but it doesn't help.
    I also tried to delete Adobe photoshop Elements 9 and Adobe Premiere Elements 9 but I could not get it to work. I get a message that "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

    Removed your phone numbers as I'm assuming you don't want these posted on a public forum.
    Can you try going through the steps outlined in the two faq's below.  Also, where you able to go to the Flash Player Version page and see both the animation and flash player version number displayed?

  • Have Identity Safe Login thru Norton which I like but when I upgraded to newest version of Firefox, it doesn't come up. What do I need to do?

    I use Norton 360 for security and virus protection. Part of the service is Identity Safe where it stores my logins and once I login into that, it automatically populates logins and passwords. When I upgraded to the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, the dialog box for it doesn't pop up for me to log in. How do I go about getting it to do this? I tried that Last Pass and did not like it at all. In fact, I have removed it.
    Thank you!

    I have heard that Norton released an update patch for Firefox 5.0 on Tuesday 06-21 when Firefox 5.0 was released. ''(versus taking their normal six to eight weeks)'' Some Norton users have reported that the toolbar may not work if the Norton patch was installed before Firefox 5.0, instead if after Firefox 5.0 was already installed.
