Why do I have two versions of Firefox in my Windows Control Panel? (again)

hello,
Updating from Firefox 18.0.1 to 18.0.2 of Firefox has not removed the Mozilla Firefox 18.0.1 entry from the Windows Control Panel list of installed programs.
How could I fix that?
thanks.

It is possible that you only see orphaned Firefox entries in add and remove programs.<br />
This can happen if the Firefox updater didn't remove the entry of the previous version, but merely added an entry for the new version.<br />
If you are comfortable with the registry editor then you can remove Firefox entries that no longer apply in this registry key.
*HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox (????)
If you have a 64 bit Windows version then inspect this key:
*HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox

  • Can I have two versions of firefox at the same time?

    Hi,
    Probably a dumb question but can I have two versions of Firefox on my system at the same time?
    The reason is because of Add Ons that are not compatible with v4. I'd like to be able to close v4 when I need to use an Add On in v3.
    Thanks.

    You can install them both but there are a few steps to take.
    When you install Firefox 4 use the custom installation option and choose a different location to install Firefox.
    In order to use both versions, you need to create a new profile for Firefox 4 (Firefox stores user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile you can copy certain data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep the profiles synchronized. Finally, you will need to set up shortcuts to launch the correct profile for each version.
    The following links show how to do this:

  • Can I have two versions of firefox? i.e. one for work and one for home use?

    Can I have two versions of firefox? i.e. one for work and one for home use. I use Windows xp
    I would like to start fresh with a new firefox for my work only so I can keep my work related bookmarks etc separate from my at home browsing.

    Yes - are you wanting to run 2 profiles on the same machine? See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles on how to create a new profile. You then just choose which profile you want to use each time you open Firefox.

  • Can I have two versions of firefox - latest and the older 3.6, which I can only use with Blackboard?

    My 8 new Firefox is fine. But I am using the Blackboard online LMS, which has not yet been upgraded for the newer Firefox. I was told Blackboard works fine with the 3.6 firefox. Hence I want to know if I can have both versions of firefox at once on my Windows 7 laptop PC. Or can I only have one version at a time.

    Yes - you can either use a portable version of Firefox 3.6 or you can run two profiles. If you search on how to run 2 profiles there are instructions out there.

  • Why do I have two versions of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installed on my desktop?

    I have a monthly subscription to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - which I obtained via download.  I am using a desktop running Windows XP (yes, I know, it's time to update).
    When I click on my control panel icon and then the "add / remove programs" option (in an effort to look for old or unused programs to get rid of), I see that there are two line items for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - each approximately 2,000.00 MB in size. 
    I would like to know whether one of these is an unnecessary duplicate and if so, whether I can delete it without that affecting the program.  I'm hoping this will save a little space on my hard drive.
    Thanks so much for any advice.

    Thank you soo much!  I was tempted to delete one thinking it was actually a 2nd version taking up lots of unnecessary space.
    Cheers

  • Have been up for 2 days trying to have two versions of Firefox on the same machine because Princeton Review only supports 2.0 and my laptop upgraded me to 4.o can you please help?

    When I try to access the interactive sites on Princeton Review I politely receive this message:
    Your browser: Firefox 4.0 WinNT | JavaScript supported: Yes | screen size: 1366 X 768 | Flash Version Installed: 10.0 r42 | Supports AJAX:Yes | Click here to test connection speed
    Attention:
    '''This browser is not supported. '''Links to Start, Resume or Start Over any exams in iTest are disabled for this browser.
    '''''We encourage you to use''''' Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher or '''''Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or 2. '''''
    ''Use of your Online Student Center in Firefox 3.0 is not yet supported.''

    IMO, you are better off installing - [http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20P.E.%20Legacy/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Edition%202.0.0.20%20Repack/FirefoxPortableLegacy20_2.0.0.20_English.paf.exe/download Firefox Portable 2.0.0.20] - to your hard drive for the few web sites that are so out of date that they don't support newer versions of Firefox. That way you don't need to fool around with a separate Profile for 2.0.0.20, and there is less chance of a another version / Profile of Firefox getting "contaminated" by that old version or you losing private data if your get the Profiles switched.

  • I have opened two versions of Firefox (v3.6.18 and v3.5), v3.6.18 is my default browser. The problem comes after an attempt to open a HTML file.

    I have opened two versions of Firefox (v3.6.18 and v3.5), v3.6.18 is my default browser. The problem comes after an attempt to open a HTML file. An error appears: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Why wouldn't it just open on my default browser? Thanks for the help!

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe 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.

  • Why Do I Have Multiple Versions of Adobe Flash Plugins in FireFox

    Hello,
    I usually have 2 versions of Adobe Flash plugins installed in Firefox at the same time: the most recent version and the prior version which remains behind after an update. I usually disable the older version but sometimes this also affect the updated version leaving me without Flash capability in FireFox.
    This week I updated FireFox's Adobe Flash plugin to 12.0.0.43 but was surprised to discover the 2 prior Flash versions also remained. Now Firefox had 3 versions of Adobe Flash plugins. I discovered the Adobe Flash uninstaller and uninstalled all Flash from my computer. Surprisingly when I reinstalled Flash player in FireFox, again 2 versions were installed: 12 and 11. I attempted to use the uninstaller on FireFox alone but it did not recognize the older Flash plugin, only the updated version 12.
    The recent Adobe Flash update, version 12, is a 'Critical Security' update. Therefore, I am a bit anxious to resolve this issue. I hope you can assist me with this issue.
    Thank you.
    Windows 7
    Home Premium (64 bit)
    FireFox 26'''bold text'''

    I might have thought the uninstaller would have found and deleted the old FlashPlayer. Maybe it was a custom install and in an odd location. (I suppose another possibility is that registry entries are wrong).
    Try totally uninstalling FlashPlayer using the Windows Control panel, before re-installing. Then check with the FlashPlayer uninstaller before reinstalling again.
    Note whilst doing this that Windows Internet Explorer has its own FlashPlayer plugin that is separate. You will need to reinstall both the Fx fox & IE plugins afterwards. Also note that for 32bit Firefox you will need the 32 bit FlashPlayer.

  • After updating to 2014 I have two version of each

    After I updated my creative cloud apps, now I have two versions of each software on is CC and the other is CC 2014? Not sure why and how to remove old version. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Mataya,
         If you don't want to keep the older version you can use following steps to uninstall.
              On Mac, go into the Photoshop application folder and double-click the “Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CC” or “Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CS6” icon:
         On Windows, see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/uninstall-or-change-a-program

  • Running two versions of Firefox?

    Some web-based applications that I use will not work properly with Firefox 3, but will work with Firefox 2. Can I have both versions of Firefox on my iMac and select between them, or will they interfere with each other? Would it help if I put one on my external hard drive and run it from there (if that is possible)?

    you can have two versions of FF but you can't run them both from the same account as they will interfere with each other.
    You can make a new user account and run FF3 from your main account and FF2 from the new account.
    Would it help if I put one on my external hard drive and run it from there (if that is possible)?
    no, that would make no difference at all.

    Why do I have two icons for iMovie '11 after downloading the update from the App Store?  Previously I had iMovie '09.

    Do you see two versions of iMovie in your Application folder?
    You can drag the icons out of the dock and then drag what you want back to the dock from the Application folder.

  • Photoshop updated and now I have two versions ...

    Hello,
    I'm new to photoshop and creative cloud. I purchased photoshop cc a few weeks ago. It then updated and I now have two versions: photoshop cc and photoshop cc (2014). they both keep updating, I presume for good reason, but I'm not sure why I have two versions.
    Do I need both? if not, which is the version I should have? and how to I get rid of the other?
    Thanks in advance.

    Good day!
    Photoshop CC 2014 is the "newer" one, several features that are valuable to some users have been abandoned in this version (Flash Panels, Oilpaint Filter, …), though.
    Photoshop: Spring Cleaning | PHOTOSHOP.COM BLOG
    You can just keep both versions, but as a relative newcomer you might be better off going with Photoshop CC 2014.
