Why is Firefox not updating extension automatically when set to do so?

None of the extension will update, not even when I press check for updates.

Maybe check the related extensions.update prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
Can you install a new version of of an extension that has an update available?
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file.

Why does Firefox not update automatically nor allow me to manually update?

I'm running version 3.0.5, but didn't notice it wasn't updating until websites started complaining recently. When I try to upload manually from the website, the program downloads but will not copy into my applications folder. It says there is already an existing file, but when I click "Replace", it says I "do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
I've looked in to ways that Firefox should automatically update. Mine does not offer to update from the "About Firefox" screen. When I go to Preferences -> Advanced -> Update, under "Automatically check for updates to:" everything is checked, but the box for Firefox is grayed out so I can't touch it.
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall because I'm afraid to lose all my saved passwords and bookmarks.

Why will Firefox not open Windows Live when Internet Explorer will?

As above

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Why does Firefox not scroll the page when selecting & the cursor reaches the bottom of the screen

When selecting text on a screen page, when the cursor reached the bottom edge of the screen Firefox (9.0.1) does not scroll. Other programs (including IE) do so, so it does not appear to be a local computer problem.
I cannot see a setting on the options page that enables/disables this so what is the solution?

Enable the Add-ons bar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars; Ctrl+/) or the Find bar (Ctrl+F) to make Firefox scroll the page while selecting text.

How long has been this happening? Have you tried again?
I will encourage you to use the recommendations on this article whenever Sync returns Unknown errors for a long period of time.

Sometimes it's just as simple as a connection issue between your computer and the servers.

iPad 1's can only be updated to IOS 5.1.1. The iPad 1 doesn't have the processing power to handle any higher.

Want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through a long procedure each time

I want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through the long tedious procedure each time I install firefox. It is something that should be in the options tab , and I want to know why it isn't. I am totally frustrated with firefox and getting ready to switch.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

Why do Apps not update after installing iOS6? They just hang there!

WHy do apps not update after installing iOS6?

Each time? every day? Just plain crazy! Updates happen automatically on your mac....why not the same thing on ipad/iphone?
If the app was purchased on my phone with my account, surely they do not need to "verify" my credentials each time. If my phone was stolen and someone purchased a $20 app surely my $300 phone is more important?
They need to come up with e better solution...when we all have hundred or thousands of apps on our devices what then?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well? Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago. I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

Not Updating Customized Table when System having Performance Issue

Hi,
This is actually the same topic as "Not Updating Customized Table when System having Performance Issue" which is posted last December by Leonard Tan regarding the user exit EXIT_SAPLMBMB_001.
Recently we changed the program function module z_mm_save_hide_qty to update task. However this causes more data not updated. Hence we put back the old version (without the update task). But now it is not working as it used to be (e.g. version 1 - 10 records not updated, version 2 with update task - 20 records not updated, back to version 1 - 20 records not updated).
I tried debugging the program, however whenever I debugged, there is nothing wrong and the data is updated correctly.
Please advise if anyone has any idea why is this happening. Many thanks.
Regards,
Janet

Hi Janet,
you are right. This is a basic rule not to do any COMMIT or RFC calls in a user exit.
Have a look at SAP note 92550. Here they say that exit EXIT_SAPLMBMB_001 is called in the update routine MB_POST_DOCUMENT. And this routine is already called in UPDATE TASK from FUNCTION 'MB_UPDATE_TASKS' IN UPDATE TASK.
SAP also tells us not to do any updates on SAP system tables like MBEW, MARD, MSEG.
Before the exit is called, now they call 'MB_DOCUMENT_BADI' with methods MB_DOCUMENT_BEFORE_UPDATE and MB_DOCUMENT_UPDATE. Possibly you have more success implementing the BADI.
I don't know your situation and goal so this is all I can tell you now.
Good luck!
Regards,
Clemens

Why apple was not update facetime call over the cellular for iPhone 4?????

why apple was not update facetime call over the cellular for iPhone 4?????

Facetime will not use the cellular network (if using AT&T) for the iphone 4, 4S or 5 unless you have signed up for ATT's new data share plan. They stated this several weeks ago when there was talk about Iphone5/IOS 6 and Facetime. Your carrier is the one that decides if Facetime will work over the cellular network or not. You might want to contact them. Your other option is to continue using it via wi-fi.

Why can I not update my CS 6 programs to Mac OS X

I am having problems with updating the latest Updates for my CS 6 programs *here PS and Ill. fx. And the notice says to contact costumer support, but only get a few Q's and A's.
HOW do I get in direct contact (or chat/mail) with costumer service of ADOBE_

Hej again Steve
Ok sorry again
But you seem to be quite into this field. (and I've unfortunately been
'out' for a while). I used to be up to date, but now, it's all moving so
fast, and if you're away for a few years then you're (screwed)
I've been trying to get in touch with Adobe mostly for 1. update of my
programs because I seem to have a lot of 'faults' in each (crashing, screen
moving and such)
BUT 2. also because I want to join CC and with the 40% off (as I have an
original CS) but when I enter info, it will not accept my serial nr. NOW
after your guidance I came across this site which shows that I am granted a
''free'' CC. Am I reading this right. _ ? I am no idiot, but yes, in the
computer field _ I am a designer and a damn good one, but all the techichal
(that is another language _ and heck, we all have our fields_ I go to a
mechanic to get my car fixed, you?
Just smiling
Look forward to hear from you

Thank you Steve / at least it seems that I can get a ''chat'' going.
A few years ago I could mail them but now not that and no phone (or rather
when I call long distance I never get thru) what I most want is personal
contact. Because even if they list 20 or something common Q and A's mine do
not follow in on any of the categories. BUT thanks again for the link.
Maybe you can help me with others ... Just a thought
I\m trying to upgrade my PS, ID and Illustrator CS6 / and I know from
previous Adobe guidance, one should not just take the latest. I seem to be
successful with my ID (but yet to prove when I test it, which I haven't had
time to yet) BUT my PS and Ill come up with this (see attached file).
Hope you can help. Anyway, you have so far.
Because you see - I have an original CS6 and want to upgrade to CC soon.
AND they offer a 40% discount if you already have the original. BUT when I
type in my serial nr. it won't register this. I've been trying (no kidding)
for a year now, if not longer. AND this is not in one of their Q and A's
Best
