Why the "Downloading the latest applications" bar constantly running?

There is a blue bar at the top that says "Downloading the latest applications" that is constantly running.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Updated to 3.6.6 (or 3.6.8)

The "Downloading the latest applications" problem can be caused by the MSN® Toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins)

  • How do I get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar which won't go away even after uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox?

    Can't get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar that seems to be just hanging and won't go away. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the bar is still there after 2 days. I updated something (can't remember what!) on I.E., and it had the same blue bar, but it had a box I could x out of so it went away on I.E. I don't know why the blue bar is there on Firefox, as I did the update while on I.E.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated an application while on Internet Explorer.

    Annette,
    #In the menu bar, at the top of the Firefox window, Go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions.
    # Locate ''each ''of the following extensions by name and click the disable button
    #Restart Firefox as prompted and see if the undesired toolbar has been removed.
    #The extensions to disable are: '''Crawler Toolbar''', '''MP3 Rocket Toolbar''', '''MSN Toolbar''', '''Search Helper Extension'''
    If you don't need some / all of those toolbars, consider leaving them disabled.
    You can probably remove these toolbars permanently from Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.

    why is downloading the latest software 4.3.2 taking 3 hours??

    It's 650MB, or thereabouts. And K-P is correct - it's 4.3.3 you should be after.
    How are you downloading? iTunes Check for Updates would have taken you straight to 4.3.3, and that's the recommended way to do this, unless you're having serious firewall.antivirus issues

    Hello Addy.
    If you could provide a [http://www.wikihow.com/Take-a-Screenshot-of-the-Entire-Screen screenshot], that would be perfect.
    In any case, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • Why would the fan on my macbook be constantly runs, even when no applications are running.  Why?

    Why would the fan on my MacBook constantly run?  Even when I have no applications running?  Is there a way to determine what is causing this to happen?

    JAWade, try resetting the SMC and pram. Not always, but often those resets help problems like yours. Follow these instructions exactly.
    To reset the SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • How do I shutdown the "Downloading the latest applications" box?

    The box is above the sites tabs and below the toolbars and is taking up a lot of space. There doesn't seem to be a place to close the box and it just sits there running.

    Thank you.... I went to the <add-ons> and turned off the "MSN Toolbar" and after the restart the "Downloading" bar was gone.. I have found out my son was using Windows Internet Explorer for his facebook and it somehow activated the MSN toolbar here on Firefox.

  • Problems with the download of an application.

    I'm trying to download Adobe after effects CC for mac Adobe Creative Cloud, but remains locked and gives me error. In the Layers palette in Adobe Creative Cloud a wheel continues to turn. I have Mac OS 10.7.5 and an iMac 27 "3.4 Ghz processor with Intel Core i7.

    No.
    First it's not the .acsm files that you want to convert.  The .acsm files are just temporary purchase tokens to start the download and licensing of the real pdf or epub file.  It's that file (either pdf or epub) that has all the content, however it is protected with ACS4 DRM and as such can only be viewed by ADE or by supported device such as the Sony Reader 505 or 700.  While there are quite of few of our device customer that are coming out with new devices and software, none of the have announced plans for supporting PalmOS.
