Why does firefox keep asking to update to 23.0.1 over and over agian after doing the update? (win 7 Home Prem)

Updated up to V23.0 apparently with no problems (23.0 shown on Firefox/Help/About), Now keep getting the update to 23.0.1, I install it and everything seems fine, then the next day I get yet another request to update to 23.0.1. Now on at least 5th iteration. Op system is Win 7 home premium.

Life's too short for this. I just turned off the auto update and will wait for the next update.

Firefox keeps asking to update to Firefox 31.2.0esr, although it has been done already without error message

For some days now Firefox keeps asking me to update to Firefox 31.2.0esr, although I have done this already without receiving any error message.
The program is on 31.1.0

Your System Details list shows Firefox 31.
What does it tell in Help > About?
Can you attach a screenshot of that window?

After an update firefox keeps asking me to reboot when this is done and i go to launch it it keeps saying to reboot and never launching

Then when I reboot it then asks to reboot again and again and never launching. I have reinstalled fire fox but it keeps asking the me to rboot again.

It works.
Deleting the two files mentioned by 2mymisc above does work.
Great job

Even though updated to 4 successfully Firefox keeps asking me to update to 4. Why?

Even though updated to 4 successfully Firefox keeps asking me to update to 4. Why?

Before going further try to confirm what version of Firefox you do have.
What do you see looking at ''about firefox'' from the help menu ? I ask because your ''System Details'' are showing Firefox 3.6.17 not the current version Firefox 4.0.1.
If you turn off the option to display the menu toolbar do you see the firefox button in the top left and do you get an option to use [why are tabs on top?|tabs on top], both are features of Firefox 4.
It is not easy to find help articles, or even other posts at the moment there appears to be a problem / [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forums/contributors/706420#post-35304 glitch] in the search system.

Why can't play are download games it keeps asking to update to flash adobe? What does that mean?

I want to know why can't I play are download games and it keeps asking to update n download flash adobe

If you do not have Flash Player installed, you have to download and install Flash Player
to play those games.
If you have an older version of Flash Player installed, you have to update it.
1. System Preferences > Other/ Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
     Press the "Delete All" button
     Install Adobe Flash Player.

    Quit Safari.

Firefox always asks to update, I do and 'restart to update' but does not. Everytime I open Firefox it wants to update.

This has been a recurring problem. In the past I have had to manually reinstall Firefox from their website each time new version comes out. But then when the next version comes along, it never updates itself again. I would think installing the new, latest version from your website would fix this, but it does not. Why does the update feature of Firefox never work on my Win & system? Every time I install Firefox I use the same folder, but not the default. I am installing into "C:\Program Files(x86)\Internet Applications\Mozilla Firefox". I would hope your updater would be smart enough to know that, but thought I should share. Everything else should be standard.

I am running Windows7, using only their firewall. I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed as the anti-virus.
I performed the following steps as you requested:
1) Run as Admin:
a. Closed Firefox and reopened “As Administrator”. It again asked permission to run since it was going to try to do the update again. But it just opened normally.
b. When I click on ‘Help-About’ it again says ver. 32.0.2 and downloads a 3.9MB update (again).
c. I click restart to update (again) and it still says 32.0.2 and again downloads the same 3.9 MB update, asking again to restart. So Admin made no difference.
2) Uninstall/Reinstall:
a. Using your link I then downloaded version 32.0.3 (I had to do the same thing on all prior versions, the last full download was 32.0.2. So this problem has been going on for quite some time.
b. I next uninstall both Mozilla Firefox 32.0.2 and Mozilla Maintenance services. I was not asked about removing personal data as you indicated I should have. Since you mentioned that I assume it should have asked. Why not?
c. There was no Mozilla folder under C:\Program Files
d. There was no Mozilla folder under C:\Program Files(x86) (this is where it had put the “Maintenance Services”, even though I had requested to install Firefox under the “Internet Applications” directory.
e. I deleted the Mozilla Firefox folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Applications (even though this was uninstalled, there were five subfolders left and an .nfo file. Clearly Firefox does not do a clean uninstall). Will this bug eventually be fixed to do a clean install and delete all program folders?
f. I then installed version 32.0.3. By default it wanted to install to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox.
i. Why is it installing only a 32 bit version when I am running 64 bit Windows 7?
ii. I changed the default to the one I used before (but was now deleted): C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Applications\Mozilla Firefox.
iii. I did allow it to install the maintenance service again, even though this never works.
iv. After installation there was still no Mozilla folder under Program Files, so it did not install any 64 bit – why not?
v. It did install the program under …\Internet Applications\Mozilla Firefox, as it should have
vi. However, it again made the mistake of installing Mozilla Maintenance Services under C:\Program Files (x86) rather than under the “Internet Applications” submenu as it did the main program as directed. This is an ongoing bug from prior versions. When will this bug ever be fixed so that it is installed in the subfolder selected by the user?
Since this is the same procedure I have to use every time Firefox needs an update, you have not solved my problem. Does anyone at Mozilla care and will get down to the bottom of this? Or should I just delete the Mozilla Maintenance Services since it appears it is not designed to function (at least not in Windows7)?
I have performed the exact steps you indicated and provided you with the steps and the results. Please answer all six questions above. I had highlighted them bold so you could see them, but your web reply stripped the bold, spacing, tabs, etc. and made the above less readable. Also, the Bold in your web reply also does not work - it only put quotes around and would not bold. Since your web response bold does not work either, please carefully find the six questions and answer them. Most importantly I would like to know a fix to this ongoing problem of the updates not working. I am tired of doing this entire process for every little update. Thank you.

Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

Because McAffee pays to have their installer "bundled" with the update. It's not right, and the "blind installer" in the update (with no opt out) has been documented and reported.
You can download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly (without any bundled installers) by clicking one of the following links.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Bookmark those for future use.

Firefox keeps asking to install Flash. When I attempt this, I get an error message stating it failed. Flash works in Google Chrome, but not FF.

I don't know what happened but Firefox keeps asking me to install Flash. When I attempt to install the program, I get an error message that it has failed. There is no other information given and I'm just left hanging. I've tried this over twenty times with the same results. I've even uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, but this continues. I'm unable to watch any YouTube videos. I then installed Google Chrome and all is working fine. I can't stand the Google company though and really with I could continue using Firefox. Why is GC working for me any FF not? How can I fix this?

Google Chrome comes with its own Flash plugin, so doesn't require to install Flash separately.
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
You may have to run the Flash installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator) and make sure that Firefox and possibly other browsers are closed.

Why does the error console continuosly keep filling up ? in yellow, pink & blue messages ??

Ok, first I am using an older, slower Mac G4 400 Mhz, PCI, "YIKES" model machine. ..... The problem is that after browsing mail for 1/2 hr., Fire Fox slows down a lot. Most likely related to my machine speed. I understand that and this machine is a backup computer. I can cure the speed problem by closing FF, and relaunching it, and speed is fine for another 1/2 hr. or more. Then repeat the close and restart for speed reset as needed. This seems to clear a backlog of info. slowing down the CPU.
THE REAL QUESTION IS; Why does the ERROR CONSOLE keep filling up with messages in pink, yellow and blue, warnings, errors, and (blue) website not supported messages ??.
The message copy & pasted in the trouble shooting info. box is the first one to show up immediately after "clearing error console" window (5 seconds later), it will be filling up as I type now. and I don't know squat about coding or deep workings of computers, I am to old to start learning now, but it just seems to me that the "ERROR console" should not be filling up with every mouse click I make while browsing mail & websites I use everyday, that are working just fine as far as I can tell.
I have watched the error console fill up as I brows, usually 1 mouse click can produce 4 to 8 lines in the error console, clearing it out doesn't seem to affect the speed problem at all, so is unrelated to speed (??) I think.
But the Question is ??? why does the ERROR CONSOLE keep filling up with all these messages when FF seems to be working fine ????????
There are now 15 (PINK) separate lines of the same message in the console window, just while typing this out. 0
Reply to ;<[email protected]> ..... I am really curious about this and await an answer. Thank You. wayne

Iphoto keeps asking to update thumbnails - EACH TIME

iPhoto iphoto keeps asking to update thumbnails - EACH TIME. I've told it ignore 5 times, and each sessions involves about 100 photos and 2 horus of clicking no - help!
Where is the file that I can update?
Thanks
George

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards
TD

Why does the Flash player update push me to install McAfee Security Scan Plus?

When Flash asks me if I want to update, it takes me to an Adobe page to update it, but there is a checkbox already checked to install McAfee Security Scan Plus. I already have an anti-virus program installed. Why does the flash update page assume that I want to install this software?

Generally this occurs because there's a third-party plug-in that affects how the JavaScript on the page got executed. Ghostery, AdBlock Pro and NoScript are common candidates.
Under normal operating conditions, you should see an opt-out dialog like the one below. While cost-recovery measure are a reality for a product that is tremendously expensive to develop and distribute free of charge, the intent is absolutely to allow you to opt out.
If you want to avoid the download and installation experience for Flash altogether, switch to a browser that includes Flash Player as a built-in component, like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher.
