Why can't I download a FF update?

I'm trying to download update 3.6.16, using the new way of getting updates. First I get a dialogue box saying an update is available & recommends I take it. There's two buttons :
"ASK LATER" or "UPDATE FIREFOX"
If I click to update, I get this window :
'''Downloading update'''
Downloading the update...
Connecting to the update server...
And that's all that happens. It never connects, I never get the update. What's going wrong? The old way of getting updates always worked for me (the update downloaded in the background, and would install the next time I launched FF).

Download Firefox 4.0 from here: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0]
Uninstall the existing installation choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc. first.
P.S. ''Sorry it took so long to respond to your question''.

  • Why can't I download the latest update to my Macbook?

    I have 10.6.8 on my white Macbook from 2008. But I wan't the latest update, 10.7.2 or later, but I can't fin any update?
    Why?

    You have 10 6 8 which is Snow Leopard... If you want 10 7 2 you will need to Purchase Lion from the Mac Apps Store.
    First you need to check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Lion...
    Lion Specs:

    If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install Lion...

  • Why can't I download anything since updateing to windows 8.1

    Thanks for your time up front. I have been using FF for years and really enjoy it. 99% of all I do is in FF. Since moving to Win 8.1, whenever I need to download something I must open another tab or window. For documents or pictures that's fine, unnecessary step, but fine. However on secure sites like a bank, this will not work. If I do not open another tab/window the download just dies/vanishes/stops and if I open the tab/windows the secure site just reloads itself but does not download. Other browsers work fine but I prefer FF. I have tried the basic steps suggested to others with this problem but they do not work i.e. clear download folder, reset downloads, etc. Suggestions would be appreciated.

    Does this happen with downloads from every page? What happens exactly? Do you have to actually right click on the download link and open it in a new tab/window for the download to start? Also, try downloading things in Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem still happens. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode How to enter safe mode.]

  • Why can't I download Photoshop CC(2014) and why does my Creative cloud app show updates for CC(2014) products I do not have?

    Why can't I download Photoshop CC(2014) to my Mac Pro desktop running OSX 10.9.3.  My Creative Cloud app shows updates for all apps that I have as CS6 on my desktop but I have only subscribed to Photoshop CC.  Lightroom shows Install but it is installed.  Trying to Install Photoshop CC(2014) results in and error message "Installation failed Errors encountered during installation.(7) more information.
    More information gives Exit Code: 7
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting.  For Example, ERROR:
    - 0 fatal error)s), 0 error(s)
    I also cannot directly download from my account on the web.  This has been going on for a week or more and I have tried numerous suggestions on the forums but got nowhere.  I uninstalled Creative Cloud app today but could not find the installer again so I assume that was deleted.  I cannot download that now as on Adobe's site it says we are experiencing problems.  Aren't we all.
    I was happy with CC until last week but now cannot recommend it.
    I also have a Macbook Pro retina and Photoshop CC(2014) downloaded no problem on that.

  • Why can't I connect to the update server?  If I download manually, how do i update the phone?

    Why can't I connect to the update server?  If I manually download SW, how do I update phone or ipad since it is not in iTunes?
    Thanks

    I assume all of your network connections are OK,  you can get to the internet and that you aren't blocked by something like an enterprise firewall.  Are those assumptions correct?  .  My experience has been that from time to time, the update server get's "maxxed out", and if you try later it will work. 

  • Why can't I download my updates...it doesn't accept my password...changed it several times no luck

    Why can't I download my updates....it says my password is wrong...changed it several times with still no luck. What's wrong? When I login to my apple ID it works..whist am I doing wrong?

    Have you tried logging out of your account by tapping on it in Settings > Store and then logging back in ?
    If that doesn't work then you could try closing the App Store app completely and seeing if you can download updates when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Another option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why can't I download Canon S100 CR2 RAW files into PSE 10?

    I am using PSE 10 with a Canon S100 camera. I am successful in downloading all of my jpeg files and RAW CR2 files from my older Canon Rebel, but not with the Canon S100 CR2 Raw files.
    When first downloading from the Canon S100 camera into PSE 10 and later doing them manually, I receive the following messages:  Nothing imported...files are not supported file types or alread in catalog.  File damaged or in a format that cannot be included in the Elements Organizer.
    These problems files, by the way, were automatically added to my Window's My Pictures catalog and are perfectly fine.

    Thank you for the info. It worked great, once I was
    able to get around a second problem that prevented updating
    from within the PSE 10 application (error U41M1C212). That
    problem was solved by disabling the MS Virtual WiFi Miniport
    Adapter (located in the Network and Sharing Center control
    panel). It just goes to show me once again, how complex
    computer apps are and how much we all have to rely on each
    other to get anything to work properly (frustratingly
    enough, since the companies we paid good money to for
    their problematic software are not very helpful). Thanks
    again.

    Try opening a CR2 directly from a folder by right-clicking
    and choosing open with Photoshop Elements editor, if that
    dosent work, update the appliactaion (required for the
    S100V)
    In the Editor menu click Help >> Updates
    Then install amera raw 6.7

  • Why can't I download the Mac OS I just purchased?  Why does it have to be shipped to me?

    I just purchased Lion OS.  Why can't I download it from the website?  Why does it have to be shipped to me?

    Are you doing a Software Update or downloading directly from Apple?
    If Software Update, instead download the combo 10.6.8 update from here. Use Disk Utility (on your hard drive in application/utilities)  to repair permissions, then apply the combo update, and when done, repair permissions again. You'll be at 10.6.8 at that point.
