Why am I continually getting Firefox updates every day for 4.01, I already updated 3x now, Pls respond immediately re possible security breach

Just keep getting the pop up saying I have to update my firefox browser to 4.01. I already did this and have done so a few more times and keep getting this message which my norton confirms is okay. Pls. help
PS: Regarding educated guesses below, perhaps it is my Yahoo active x plugin bridge. In any case, how do I resolve this problem?
Thanks,
Donna

If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* 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.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Why am I continually getting "Firefox has stopped working" messages?

Seems like constantly, several times a day, I receive the message "Firefox has stopped working" and that Microsoft or Windows is searching for the problem, and then it shuts down. When I open Firefox again, it takes me right back where I left off, with another open window. Also, since running an update a week or so ago, every time I click to open another site I get hit with the "Do you want Mozilla to allow this change?" That didn't happen before. Both are very annoying. I also lost my RoboForm toolbar unless I juggle back and forth the "Full Page" setting after dropping down the open menu bars. I am not, by any means, a computer whiz, so most of the help FAQs are written above my knowledge of computers level. Now when I just clicked "Automatically add" Troubleshooting info, at the bottom of this page, I got a pop up that said " Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on this computer". Now I'm really lost! I don't want to reset back to Default because I'll never get back the settings I currently have.

Regarding the message about allowing a change, is there more information about what the change is?
You have quite a few plugins, and they might not all be necessary. To minimize the influence of add-ons while you're troubleshooting this problem, I suggest the following.
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
* Set unrecognized or rarely used plugins to "Never Activate"
* Consider setting "player" type plugins such as QuickTime, Silverlight, and Shockwave Flash to "Ask to Activate" so that sites cannot run them automatically. As you discover sites you want to allow to run the player every time, you can click the notification icon in the address bar (looks like a small Lego block) and give permission there.
In the left column, click Extensions.
* Remove unrecognized extensions, or disable them
* Disable rarely used extensions (for example, you don't use it daily)
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Hopefully this will help keep Firefox more stable.

Why do I keep getting an error "insufficient data for an image" when opening a document

why do I keep getting an error "insufficient data for an image" when opening a document in Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06

I am also having this problem, especially with scanned documents. Since I need to download scanned documents in my work this is a big problem!Sometimes I can read but not save the document, sometimes one or two of the pages will be blank from the start. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10). I tried reducing the page zoom, a suggested workaround on this page: Acrobat: “Insufficient data for an image” error after updating to 10.1.4 or 9.5.2, but that did not help at all. FWIW I use a Windows 8.1 PC with 4 GB RAM. I usually download PDFs from the internet using Firefox.

FF Nightly 34.0a1 keeps updating every day to the same version?!

Ive noticed a few things this last week..
1. first, FF Nightly (the 64bit version) has updated itself to the same version number every day for the last week..
2. Video play using FF is terrible.
3. nightly looses my privacy settings..
4. Some websites say the browser has cookies turned off when they are turned on.
5. Can't even access some websites due to their spam content, I.e. They trying to force me to watch an advert, befor moving on to the item I clicked on.
6. Some pages only load partially.
7. Facebook and farmville loading dead slow. I could send the info faster with morse code and a straight key.
any ideas?

This is about Firefox Nightly builds adding support for new security features.
A lot of web servers haven't implemented these yet and thus aren't working properly.
That is the risk that you run with using alpha development builds as those versions are meant for testers to check for issues with such new features.
You should stay with the current release version (Fx 32 has been released) if you aren't experienced enough to handle possible issues.

Ae and Id CC14 Tell me I have an update every day

I get a notification at the same time every day for Ae and Id both needing updates and it's been happening for about 3-4 weeks. I highly doubt Adobe is pushing updates every single day to these programs. Also, when I open disk utility the setup.dmg for Ae and Id are both lists as drives on my computer so I ejected them and It didn't do anything.
I'm running a MBP retina with mavericks. Does anyone have any solution or am I looking at a full uninstall and reinstall?
Thanks,

Software updating every day

The software updates each morning at 5:15 a.m. when I turn on the TV. It does not update in the evening when I turn the TV back on. It has just started doing this the past week. Why?

Same problem here.
My DVR is Moto QIP-7216 located in MD.
Started when Verizon pushed out their new software version 1.9.1. around Dec. 5th.
They fixed the "slow channel changing/first time delay problem" and replaced it with:
"Software Updating, Please Wait" problem that shows up once a day, every morning.
For me it has been EVERY morning since the new version was released.
Set-top reboots do not fix issue. I too have a hard time beleiving they have released new software every day
for last 7 days.
Verizon moderators please take note and pass on to tech support. This is not an isolated/one-user problem.
Note: If you add to this list please post your state and what model set top box to help Verizon narrow down the problem.

Keyboard Firmware Update EVERY DAY???

How do I get software update to stop asking to update every day? I ran the update the first day it asked and now every single day the darned thing asks to update it again! AARGH!

Actually, that doesn't install anything. It just downloads the file, and as long as you don't run the file, it should still be there. The installer file will be in your Utilities folder (in applications) and have the name of firmware. follow the instructions so that the install goes correctly. Once you've done that, you've actually updated your firmware, and it will go away. This took me a while to figure out when it happened to me on a work's mac pro 3 years ago.

Updates every day or night??

Why do I have updates every day and/or night when I shut down my computer (G62)? Help!!!??

Try this.
a. Click on Start and click on Control panel.
b. Go to Program and Features.
c. Scroll down to "Microsoft.Net Framework 4 Client Profile", right click it.
d. It will give you a choice of Uninstall/Change, click it.
e. Then, it will give a choice to Repair it, pick Repair it. It will take about 4-10 minutes to repair (with my PC) your experience may vary.
f. When completed, go to Windows Update in Control panel and click "check for updates" on the left side, then try to install the 2 updates. again.

Spotlight on G5 spotlighting every day for hours

hi all,
I have installed Leopard 10.5.3 on my G5 2.3 dual (4 FW disks attached on it) and since then Spotlight searches for files every day for hours, on all disks, internal and external;
I really don't know what SL is looking for and why these searches are endless,
but it's so frustrating when I need to find a file because SLing is not available during its search;
I have the same problem with my MBP 15" Penryn 2.4GHz but only when external disks are on;
has anybody out there any idea about that? I wonder, is that normal function?
thanks for helping_

What malware was found by ClamXav? Most likely, it was Windows malware. Also, unfortunately, most likely it was Windows malware attached to e-mail messages, in which case deleting it from ClamXav probably corrupted one or more of your mailboxes. Assuming you're using Mail, you should probably rebuild all your mailboxes, by selecting each one, one at a time, and using the Rebuild command in the Mailbox menu on each.
Regarding Mac malware, you most likely have nothing to fear. There isn't much malware out there for Macs, and all of it is very rare. Of course, if you're actually using Mac OS X 10.5.8, as your profile indicates, you have fewer defenses than users of more up-to-date systems. For more on this topic, see my Mac Malware Guide.
As to the downloads, there are many things that could account for that. Jon P D gave a couple excellent possibilities. Regarding the wifi, if you're using a wifi router to create a network without a password, or with weak WEP encryption, you could easily have someone piggybacking on your wifi and using your bandwidth without permission. Lock down the network with WPA2 encryption and a good, strong password that people won't be able to guess.
Also, note that Mac OS X downloads updates automatically in the background, and there were a number of large updates this week. If you have a connection that only allows you to download a certain amount per month, you may want to turn that option off in System Preferences -> Software Update, so that you can choose when new updates are downloaded.

Why do I get notices to update Photoshop and Audition every day or two after I have updated?

Several times now the Creative Cloud Manager has notified me to update Photoshop and Audition. I apply the updates only to get the request again a day or two later. I have checked and both apps are the version CC wants to update to. Now CC wants me to update again. Both apps are working, but the continual notices to update repeatedly are rather annoying.

Why do I continually get the error message "iTunes Match could not be updated because you were disconnected from the network during processing"? What network?

Over the last 4 or 5 days, I get this message every time I open iTunes. I'm not sure what network this error message is talking about. Any ideas?

Hello FredJay,

iTunes Match needs a network connection to work, either Wi-Fi, cellular or wired. See the following:
Make sure you have an active Internet connection
Be sure your computer or device has an active Internet connection by loading a webpage using Safari or another web browser.
On an iOS device with cellular support, if you are not on a Wi-Fi network, try enabling 3G cellular data1 for iTunes Match.

For iOS 5.1.1 or earlier, tap Settings > iTunes & App Store > Use Cellular Data > On
