Why do security updates change my Firefox appearance

If changing from FF28 to FF29 is for security reasons why does my FF appearance also change as it has nothing to do with security.
Is it because some developers think it might be better this way or is there a security problem.
I have now told FF not to look for updates as I get fed up with adding extra add-on's just to keep the look and function I have before any updates
I have already added Status-4-ever and now I'm expected to add Classic view just to keep what I already had working fine.
Is this new change just to try make it look pretty or is there a real security issue with Version 28
Looking for a new browser now.

I have restored my system from an image file I made last week so no need to find a download site.
Changes to the layout are not security related and need to be kept as options and not forced on users to keep everybody happy as well as safe

What you are experiencing is 100% related to Malware.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Why does the update change my home page and make Google so prevelant?

Several of the last "updates" involved the changing of my bookmarks and home page,. The so called update required me to spend more time in refreshing the browser to its previous condition. This is frustrating to say the least. Second why does the updated version of of firefox seem to favor google?

Normally, an update does not change your home page...
What did you home page change to? That might help identify the source of the problem.
I assume you have tried changing your home page back to your preferred site, either in the Options dialog or using one of the other methods:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[How to set the home page]]
Did that work at all? By "at all" I mean:
* Immediately after making the change, if you click the Home button, or launch a new window using Ctrl+n, does your preferred page load? Or is that ignored?
* Does the setting revert later in your session (you see in Options it has changed)?
* Does the setting revert after you exit and start Firefox up again?
* Is the problem only when you use your Firefox desktop shortcut?
With that information, it will be easier to recommend a solution.
I'm not sure I understand your second question. Google has always been the default search provider in Firefox. Are you seeing even more Google than that?

Why does my updated version of Firefox keep freezing telling me "not responding"? I have no plugins either..

When i start firefox it takes forever to load, sometimes it doesnt even load up my default site, it should load up www.google.com but instead it loads www.ask.com. The reason why is because the browser isnt working correctly.
When I try to view any website, or search on Google it takes forever for something to happen, and 95% of the time the whole browser almost turns completely WHITE, then at the top of the browser it says "Not Responding". I have to continue to close the browser and start a new session but it does the same thing.
I have no or extensions, nothing at all.
Whats going on? I never had problems with Firefox, what is going on?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Months ago

Where is the answer? I know the question that is how I got here in the first place. Again Where is the answer.

Why after latest update today my firefox always see GIF files as MP4? Any idea to revert it?

Right click on GIF image shows "save video as.." no choice to save image as.. there is a "save snapshot as " choice, but no gif file type can be chosen. anyone know how to fix this? before update it worked greatly...

Try to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

I downloaded a Firefox security update and now Firefox won't open. From what I can understand my firewall is most likely blocking Firefox now as it doesn't trust it. I have NO idea what to do next, what firewall I am using or even how to find out. HELP!

I have a MAC. If you can help me please be detailed and patient... I don't know what I am doing!

Tina,
I would go crazy if this was me. You may find this interesting from the customer agreement (to see full agreement go here:Customer Agreement | Verizon Wireless):
"HOW AND WHEN CAN I DISPUTE CHARGES?
If you're a Postpay customer, you can dispute your bill within 180 days of receiving it, but unless otherwise provided by law or unless you're disputing charges because your wireless device was lost or stolen, you still have to pay all charges until the dispute is resolved. If you're a Prepaid customer, you can dispute a charge within 180 days of the date the disputed charge was incurred. YOU MAY CALL US TO DISPUTE CHARGES ON YOUR BILL OR ANY SERVICE(S) FOR WHICH YOU WERE BILLED, BUT IF YOU WISH TO PRESERVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING SUCH DISPUTE, YOU MUST WRITE TO US AT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ADDRESS ON YOUR BILL, OR SEND US A COMPLETED NOTICE OF DISPUTE FORM (AVAILABLE AT VERIZONWIRELESS.COM), WITHIN THE 180–DAY PERIOD MENTIONED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT NOTIFY US IN WRITING OF SUCH DISPUTE WITHIN THE 180-DAY PERIOD, YOU WILL HAVE WAIVED YOUR RIGHT TO DISPUTE THE BILL OR SUCH SERVICE(S) AND TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING ANY SUCH DISPUTE."
This may help you also: Arbitration and Mediation FAQs | Verizon Wireless
You can dispute any charges by doing an Arbitration or Mediation. I have never done it, so I can not help much there but this all may get you started.
Let me know if any of this works! Good Luck! Please keep me updated. I really hope they help you.

Why can't I change my subtitles' appearance in DVD Studio Pro?

Hello there.
So, I'm pretty confused. I created an .stl closed caption file in MovieCaptioner which I then imported into DVD Studio Pro. Understandibly (if not, annoyingly), I lost my original subtitle formatting, including font size, color, font, and the black bar I had originally positioned the text over to make it easier to read.
I'm not trying to change the captions within DVD Studio Pro but whenever I select all (or even just select one individual caption) the option to change the coordinates, etc, is greyed out and I can't select anything. And when I hit command + T and change the font, it doesn't do anything to the overall stream. I just want to make the subtitles larger and add a black bar behind them. Not sure what I'm doing wrong..
Thanks in advance!

DVD Studio Pro is only capable of authoring HD DVD, which is an obsolete format, or SD DVD. Unfortunately, it cannot do Blu Ray.
If you want HD, you can make a basic Blu Ray directly from FCPX, or from Compressor, using a Blu Ray burner. If your movie is less than 35 minutes long, you could alternatively make am AVCHD red laser disk, using the Blu Ray template with a DVD optical drive selected as Output Device. (AVCHD disks are HD resolution, but are encoded with somewhat less quality than Blu Ray; nonetheless, they look very good.)
The other HD options for disk delivery rely on third party solutions - including Roxio Toast and Adobe Encore.
Good luck.

Why will Security Update 2013-004 not install on my Mac Mini

I tried to download the update but everytime it came back with "unexpected error has occurred. It has now disapeared from my updates list but the last time I attempted to download the file I got the same error message. How do I check to see if it really did the update?

 menu/About This Mac/More information (the button at the bottom - may be called something else)/System Report/Software/Installations.

Security Update 2013-004 blocking Firefox use

We are a production house with 16 workstations, half of which operate from an OD server. We installed the above security update this morning (security update 2013-004 for Lion, dated 9/12/13), and have found that with the OD users, it has locked out use of Firefox (v24.0, though it has affected early versions). Firefox works normally if used from local machine based user (admin or normal user), but not via Open Directory users. When looged in to network account, Firefox stalls, causes beachball, or refuses to display Firefox window. Throwing pref's, caches, or Firefox profile.ini into trash does no good.
As memory serves, you can not un-install these updates. I've verified that the update is the cause, as we run cloned backup drives that have not had security update installed, and they work with all versions of Firefox. Updates were applied used Apple Software Updater from within the OS. So come on Apple, give us user a break and a new security update.
Thanks in advance...
Spec's: Mac Pro - Early 2009, OSX 10.7.5 16G memory

Dear Steve,

Did you accidently investigated this any further?
Switching back to FF23 is the last option, i think - how would i know when updating to a current release will be posible?
In order of attempting to track down the reason i'm not decided yet who is to blame here:
Something must have changed with FF *AND* the security update...
I'll keep on trying but wanted to make sure to document that you are not a singular case...

Security UPdate for sharepoint will change farm version?

Security Update for SharePoint will change farm version or not?

Not all security updates change the farm build #, but some do. It just depends on what is in the security update.

Security Update 2008-008 No user window.

I do apologise if this is the incorrect discussion group, but I couldn’t find a email address to report this so I thought I would post it and it may eventually get to the right people.
I’ve just updated (using Software Update) the latest Security Update 2008-008. The Mac was running perfectly beforehand (all updates and security updates to date).
When using the Mac I regularly switch between user accounts, however I have found that after the update if I log out of a user account (with no admin privileges) the main user accounts window does not appear. (I am left with the desktop picture of the account I have tried to log out of and no menu bar.)
The only solution I have found to this problem (in each instance after the initial one, I have waited for 5 minutes to give the system a chance) is to hold down the power key until it switches off the Mac. The Mac then starts up fine and displays the user window, from there I can choose which account I want to use.
As I switch between these accounts throughout the day, shutting down the Mac, between switches, will seriously impede getting anything done.
Nevertheless, the above problem does not manifest itself when I have logged out of the admin account, this appears to be working as it should. The list of user accounts opens and I can choose an account as normal. Additionally, the problem does not appear if a user account is already open and I am logging onto another account from the fast user switching menu.
I realise the short term solution is to have an account open all the time, but this is not ideal, as the open account I am sure, will be using resources unnecessarily.
If however, someone has a more substantial solution then I would be most grateful for the suggestion.

Accounts are numbered 501, 502, etc. as the computer sees them, so that's the origin of the multiple trash folders. Each account has its own trash.
As you can read in an earlier post and through the links, safe mode does move some things to the trash so it does act as a temporary purge of items.
I just tried reading the file about what the most recent security update changes. I don't really understand most of it but I didn't see anything that specifically said log out modification to me. It is pretty hard trying to resolve logout issues and you seem to have this strange combination of accounts that work and don't work.
One thing you haven't done but could try is booting from your installer disc and run Disk Utility's repair drive (not permissions but drive). Actually, running Applejack does a reduced version of the same thing but it's worth a try if only to see what it reports about drive condition.
Dock. I am not sure what the dock would have to do with this. You could try removing the com.apple.dock.plist file from your home directory > Library > Preferences folder. Just move it to someplace else temporarily and see if that clears up anything on a logout.
It appears that this Secuirty update 2008-008 (10.4.11) is causing an ever increasing circle of problems as more posts are appearing in various places on the Internet.
This happens after any kind of update, but especially an update which changes components of the operating system. It is really a matter of matter of perception. It looks like there's a lot of problems because the hundred people who do have problems post here to ask about the problem. What you don't see are the thousands (millions?) of people who do not post because they did not have a problem.
There's been recent discussions as to what steps are truly necessary in doing a minimal problem update.
I think #1 to which all agree is to make sure you have a backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again.
Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility.
You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.
I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
Repair permissions again afterward.
It also helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned as to necessity because probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe.
I cannot bear the idea, but having spent the last 20 or so hours trying to solve this problem, I am left with reinstalling the entire system from scratch. I cannot believe that this is my only alternative. And for the moment at least it will remain on the shelf.
Well, I am not a computer expert (just another Mac user with a few years on the clock) and I am running out of ideas. Maybe somebody else will happen by who can figure out what is going on. Can you think of anything that is different about the problem accounts that makes them different from the others? Any special software installed?
Incidentally, how much free space do you have on your hard drive? Sometimes stragne issues can arise if drives are getting over full.

Post 2010-005 security update freshclam now complains

I applied the 2010-005 security update to 3 of our Xserves. These invoke freshclam via a cronjob (/usr/bin/freshclam --no-dns --quiet). Post security update we now get this output mailed to us after the cronjob runs:
LibClamAV Warning: Cannot dlopen libclamunrar_iface: file not found - unrar support unavailable.
We still get our updates. Cannot locate libclamunrar_iface via locate. Google shows the problem occurring on linux distros but I'm not finding a direct reference for mac os x.
I'd like to stop these messages as they're spamming our log mailbox and indicative of something not being right with clam. Any ideas as to why the security update prompted this (aside from the update including a new version of clamav)?
-Warren

Same message in log here when I run freshcam --version on the command line or when I change the virus database update frequency using Server Admin for the Mail service (causes restart via launchd):

Combining a security update with Photos?

I am confused. Generally, if there is an available update, esp. a security update, either Apple tells me or just goes ahead and does it. For no particular reason, I looked to see if there were any available updates. I found 2 or 3, depending on how you count. The first 1 (or 2) said it was a security update. Obviously I want to do all security updates and that leads to my confusion over not being notified. However, since that update included the 'move' from iPhoto to Photos, I was even more confused. I was unaware that a change was coming and was surprised that it was combined with the security update. By now I have forgotten what the other update was and it might have been minor.
I had a very difficult time downloading and installing these updates. It was so difficult that I went to bed in tears thinking that my iMac was trashed. I followed the instructions as to download and install as well as the restarts in the proper order. But whenever the system attempted to restart or just start from the old 'turn it off and back on' trip, I ended up with a blank (gray/white) screen. I turned the iMac off and don't remember if I unplugged it then went to bed. When I did get back to it the next morning and turned the iMac on, it showed me the Yosemite 'icon' and everything seemed ok, except for the fact that I now had Photos instead of iPhoto. (Note: I have never been a fan of iPhoto but that is beside the point.)
I have not had the courage to open Photos beyond seeing that it had instructions to go thru. As I did not and still have not had the time to read thru the instructions, I'm very annoyed that a major change was included with a security update. I've been reading comments in the Community and am seeing that people are having issues.
So I suppose I'm maybe just venting, in which case I apologize. But I would like to know why I had not been notified that there was any available update, especially a security update. And I would also like to know why said security update was combined with Photos. (I know that later I will have some specific questions about Photos based on what I'm seeing others ask.)
iMac (21.5-inch, mid 2011) running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

There was no major change included in a security update. The was an update to the Operating System. Like all OS updates it includes several items, including some security elements and other fixes too. If you look at the update section of the app store there is a report telling you exactly what is involved in every update. This one was no exception. Go there now and look. It explains what is new. There is a link, as part of that, to a web page. For instance
About the OS X Yosemite v10.10.3 Update - Apple Support
You really should read these before every update. They are the mechanism by which Apple tell you what's going to be different and change. If you don't read this then don't be surprised if you are unaware of changes.
You were not "moved" to Photos. It was installed. iPhoto is still installed. You can use it if you choose. Or you can move over to the new app.
There are always issues with new software for people, there are always issues for people with updates.

Wordpress security update

Wordpress has released update v4.2.1 to fix a flaw that allowed hackers to take control of a web site by posting malicious code in the site's Comments box.
If you have a site using Wordpress, update to WP v4.2.1 ASAP. If some other company runs your Wordpress blog, turn off Comments until they've updated the WP software.
Users who just visit an unpatched Wordpress site could be infected with malware installed by hackers through that site's Comments box.

Hi Ian--
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.

Why is it that the mysql client can still see the databases but the PHP app has stopped being able to?
It sounds like the security update changed something with where PHP looks for the MySQL socket. The first thing to try is to see where MySQL put the socket and where PHP is looking for it. First, log into MySQL using the mysql client from Terminal and run this query:
show variables like '%sock%';
I get this:
---------------+-----------------
| Variable_name | Value |
---------------+-----------------
| socket | /tmp/mysql.sock |
---------------+-----------------
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
The second part of the equation is where PHP is looking for the socket. Make a plain text file called "test.php" and put it in the root of your web site. Put the following in it:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Then point your browser to that page via the address http://localhost/test.php
You'll get a whole huge page of settings for PHP, and somewhere will be the location for the MySQL socket. It's possible it's listed here:
/var/mysql/mysql.sock
You just need to either edit your php.ini file to make that match the MySQL one (you may have to copy a default one, I forget), or edit your MySQL configuration file to match PHP. I vaguely remember using the "old" location for MySQL rather than the "new" PHP one, but I don't remember why. But let me know which you'd like to do and I should be able to help you get that set up.
Oh, and I need to know if you've installed PHP5 from Marc Liyanage (the so-called "Entropy" version) or if you're using the default PHP4 shipped with Tiger (which is what it sounds like you have).

Security update installs but doesn't reboot system

After installing both Security Update 1.0 and 1.1 the system just sits there on a blue screen with the spinning circle. I've let it sit for over an hour, but end up doing a hard reset. After that everything is fine, no weird restart/login issues and I can restart between boot camp just fine. Oh and other updates that require a restart work just fine.
Any ideas as to why the security updates won't restart my system?
Thanks,
Dan
