Why won't the "firefox has updated" page go away?

Everytime I start up firefox that annoying update page always pops up along with another tab that has my regular home page. It's not that is bothers me particularly, but it's annoying that it's still there and my mom is going crazy about it ruining the internet for her. How do I remove this?

Please try to reset the update settings by changing them and changing them back: [[Configuration Options for Updates]]
Does this happen in Safe Mode? [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] if so, this will also tell you if it is an add on that may be on an infinite loop.

I'm running windows 2000, how do I disable the firefox plugin update page from automatically loading when I open firefox

because of my operating system I cant update all of the suggested plugin updates

You may want to disable this option.
* '''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page''': When this preference is enabled, Firefox will prevent websites from redirecting you to another page, or automatically reloading.
It can be found here:

I have FF Vers 27.0.1 so why won't the latest browser update not install on my Windows XP system?

I went to a website with tons of different graphics. A window popped up alerting me to a browser extension update. I clicked on it and a Firefox update screen appeared saying my Firefox 27.0 browser was outdated. I saved the updater: Setup.exe. by clicking on the Accept and Install button in the setup box. What happens is that it just keeps saving the download when you click on the Accept and Install button and never goes to the install part.

hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff! only download firefox from its official location at mozilla.org - in addition updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything (you can initiate a check for ''updates in firefox > help > about firefox'').
you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.

When i open any .HTML file from my computer it is not opening in firefox. Only a blank New Window Opens. Facing this problem since the firefox has updated.

Whenever i try to open any HTML file from my computer, it opens a new firefox window which is blank. Facing this problem after the new update. please fix this problem

I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and 
add-ons were changed / reset. Try this;
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
 While you are in safe mode; 
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''. 
Then check ALL of your settings. Browser and add-ons. Then restart.

Why won't the Firefox icon stick in the Quick Launch bar?

I put Firefox in my Quick Launch bar. When I start the computer, the standard Firefox icon is missing. I can fix this by going to Properties for the icon and it "sticks" for the rest of the day. However, the next morning I have to do it all over again.

Hi ppalan,
The only time I have seen this is if there is an update notification, there are a few things that can cause this: updates on add ons, automatic updates to Firefox.
When did this begin to occur? and how do you launch the browser, manually, or on start up?
If you right click and close the browser and open in a new profile does this still happen? [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles#w_creating-a-profile]

Why won't the new java update JDK 7 run on yahoo.games?

That's really up to Yahoo. Why are you posting on the 10.6 forum?

Why won't the patch to update my Acrobat 10.1.11 to 10.1.12 work? - it keeps saying there is a problem and rolling back to 10.1.11

I use Windows 7 Professional. I have been informed that I need to update my Acrobat 10.1.11 to 10.1.12 but each time I try I am told that there is a problem and I should contact my patch supplier! My patch supplier is Adobe but there is no way of asking them for help. What should I do? Do I need to completely remove Adobe Acrobat 10.1.11 and then re-intsall from the DVD and then try again or should I just leave my existing version 10.1.11 which works fine??

Hi Hitender This is a copy of the message I have sent you by other means so those with the same problem can follow progress in sorting out this problem.
I regret the file you mention is not on my C Drive.
I have sent you a screen print of what is there and you will see the nearest file to the one you speak about is msvcr100.dll.
Also when I went to Control Panel and selected the program menu and then selected the Acrobat X Pro, the only options are Organise, Uninstall or Change. But not Repair??
Thanks for your continued support – i hope we get it sorted.

Why won't the Mavericks Mail update install on a Fusion Drive?

The header says it all. 1.38 TB available. I'm beginning to think Windows isn't such a bad idea after all.

I say that because the chat agent in Apple Support will not respond via Safari, and phone support has hung up on me twice (never having reached a live person). Quite irritating.

The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix?

The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix? Updated everything and synced. App Sore icon shows there are updates.

Until Apple resolves this problem, when you are in the App Store, if you have updates, try going to your "Purchased" Apps and you can update from there. Apps with updates will show "Update" next to them, just tap on "Update" and the update will be installed.

Why would you allow firefox to update computer web-browsers if you have an idea that it will no longer work after the update? And why would you not include instructions for, how to fix the problem? Help Please! Can I go back to the old one?

Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.
The web site below tells you how:

I downloaded the latest camera raw version, 8.2, but my DNG convetor still only reflects 7.1, why won't my DNG convetor update to 8.2?

dng converter and cr are two different programs.
while they both do the same thing, the dng converter is a stand-alone app that does not install into another adobe program and cr installs into another adobe app like photoshop, lightroom etc.
and the latest version (as of 6/25/14) is cr 8.5.
download the dng converter is you have an app that's to old to accept cr 8.2 (or cr 8.5).

That's just the way the web works. If the font is not
installed on the
user's computer it can't display in their browser. You are
best to stay with
commonly installed fonts and to specify multiple fonts in
your CSS. Start

When I get the Please wait... message and have the latest Adobe update why won't the document open?

What is your operating system? Reader version ("latest" means nothing)?
Is this a local or only PDF? If online, in what browser?

Why won't the date and time stay in the menu bar?

I just installed 10.6.2 and even when I use System Preferences to check the box in the Date/Time panel they flicker and disappear from the menu bar. Why won't the Date and Time stay in the Menu Bar? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Doesn't any bring up the fact that Apple has so many customers with problems that the refuse to help unless you pay them cash? They update you and screw you over and then offer no useful troubleshooting scenarioius to help their millions of customers. It is because they want millions of our dollars. I hate Apple.
