Will Firefox 4 AUTOMATICALLY install over version 3.6.17

23/May/2011 5:57
Will Firefox 4 AUTOMATICALLY install over version 3.6.17? Will **all of** the add-ons and plugins work? How steep is the learning curve?
Sincerely,
Barry Karas

Click Help | Check For Updates. The next menu will display a list of add-ons which won't work with the new version. The update is automatic apart from that.
If you find you don't like the layout of the new version, here are some tips to make it look like the version you're using now. 
* Right click a blank part of the tab bar and click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the search bar. 
* Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top. 
* To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps again and choose "Customize". A panel will open and while that remains onscreen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc around and place them anywhere you wish. You can also drag anything you don't like into that panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there. 
* To replace the status bar at the foot of the page, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/ 
See screenshot. Both top and bottom views are FF4.

ITunes, Remote.app v2: Does v2 still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3? (Plus v3 and iTunes issues)

Remote.app (version 2): Does it still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3?
That is basically the main question I've come to ask (with some side commentary in parenthesis below).
After trying out iTunes Remote App version 3, I saw that it scrambles playlists (such as Recently Purchased), which makes my playlists worthless. For example, using Remote.app, it's no longer possible to simply play the songs you bought over the last week at the iTunes Store using the Recenlhy Purchased Playlist. Since I buy a lot of music through the iTunes Store, I naturally want to listen to what I just paid for, just as I could using Remote.app version 2.
But it's not just the Recenly Purchased playlist, it's all my playlists. Through the last decade, day in and day out, I've carefully orgnized hundreds of playlists that I've very crafted, song by song like old mix tape casettes.
They payoff for this work has been enormous. Since starting with mp2 in 1995, then mp3 and continuing through to the thousands of dollars I've spent purchasing songs through the iTunes Store and tens of thousands on iPods, iPhones, iPads, and computers—I've been able to make music match whatever mood or music was juuust right for the moment, making for great moments and memories with friends and families. For some artists, I always want to hear their latest songs first or I want to to hear top rates songs first. Other lists are about creating a particular mood for just about any occasion. I can even shift the mood in the room with the right music list. It's really been fantastic the memories and moments I've been able to set the tone with the right song, and most of this has been not the song itself, but the flow of music I've created by orgnizing music lists. That's a lot of work I've invested. So the order of the songs matters a lot to me, especially the very first song that starts that list. That's the song I want to hear first, not somewhere in the middle.
As of Remote.app version 3, these carefully crafted songlists are scrambled, making the App worthless. When I first noticed this I couldn't believe it, must be a bug. Nope, no bug, by design I found out. It's like when Lucy pulls the football away. It's mean spirited to take back features you've sold and promoted and people have grown to rely on in the workflow of their lives. So I downgraded back to Remote.app version 2.
((Actually, they're not really technically scrambled, they're actually presented in alphabertical order, which I think is really the same thing to me. Think about it: listening to an artists work alphabetically by title is really the most random and completely scrambled way to listen to their music. Or if you don't want to listen to them alphabetically, you can have them shuffled. Those are now the only two choices. Either way, the lists are jumbled, and like iTunes 11, several of the most powerful features have been taken away. In this case the exact thing that's missing is that the iTunes Remote no longer reflects the sort order of iTunes playlists.
I don't know if this is a quiet, update-by-update shift away from our playlists and towards iTunes Radio or not, but I would think so. Why else would you make it less powerful. To quote Merlin Mann Apple tends to "fire a warning shot" feature wise before taking something away. The Finder has gotten less and less powerful in finding files and folders by their name and size through the last decade.
I'm now noticing the same thing with iTunes, it's becoming more difficult to find the currently playing song. In iTunes 10, Go to Current Song would open the folder containing the list of the currently playing song, highlight and move that list to the top of the left column and then highlight that song. In iTunes 11, Go to Current Song will only highlight the folder that contains that song and nothing more. At that point you're on your own to hunt town the currently playing song. This feature has been broken—on purpose I suspect.))
SO—I don't want to be forced into Remote.app version 3 and have my playlists scrambled on my iPhone and iPad. Is there anyone who knows the answer from first hand experience?
If customer loyalty is as important to Apple as it should be taking away features in iTunes and Remote app will only drive old customers away.
Thanks!!
David

I like that I would be able to maintain my iPhoto library data for Faces and Places in Aperture, but am concerned that when the iPhoto library is "upgraded" for Aperture, and I decide I don't really need that program, the upgraded library won't work with iPhoto anymore.
The iPhoto library isn't changed in any way by Aperture. Aperture will import the Library and you can choose to copy the files to the Aperture Library or reference them within iPhoto. As long as you don't delete files from the iPhoto Library via Aperture (which you could do if you choose to Reference) there is no impact on iPhoto
Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
They are completely different libraries.
Recently, iPhoto bugs make Events show up multiple times in iTunes when syncing for iPhone and iPad.
Fixed in the 9.1.3 update.
Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?
Like iphoto, Aperture can use the "single file library" or it can use a Referenced Library (just like iphoto can). Note that using a Referenced Library offers not a whit more in terms of features or capabilities. It's file storage plain and simple. Nothing more.
No you won't see the "same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing..." because Aperture is an entirely different allication.
But you my see Aperture or Lightroom struggles

Firefox 4 wont even start up now. how do i uninstall firefox 4 and install previous version

want to know how to uninstall firefox 4 and install previous version. also where to get download of previous version

Your problem is caused by the Ask Toolbar which you have installed. There are compatibility issues between Ask and Firefox at the moment.
Please do the following to ensure a clean installation. 
#Use Internet Explorer to download Firefox 4.0.1 from this link: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and choose "'''Save'''" when you see the prompt. Then save it to your desktop. ''Do not choose "Run"''. 
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box''). 
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
Next, click the Firefox button and go to Add-ons, then Extensions. Find the Ask Toolbar in there and click "Remove".
If you would still prefer to use the previous secure version, use this download link instead of the one to v4.0.1: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] Otherwise the installation procedure and removal of the Ask Toolbar is the same.

I have 6.0.2 desktop firefox, and want install latest version(11) but keep both

I have 6.0.2 desktop firefox, and want install latest version(11.0) but '''also want keep both versions''', what's the procedure?
may run both same time?
how add a second language total:2:ru/en in firefox 11...?

Hi lse123,
The first thing to explain is that older versions are not secure and not supported, therefore they increase the risk to your personal data and your computer system. Of course if you are running on a secure intranet, &/or have bare metal backup procedures in place that may not be a concern.
Secondly running multiple versions is probably considered an advanced topic, and not something the standard user would need to do, but it is all relatively easy and simple to do. Just take care, back up bookmarks & settings and be careful what you do with profiles, until you fully understand them.
You may well decide to keep IE (for instance for Windows updates) and then use one of the Firefox versions as a default browser. (will be associated with the .html file types for instance) The ''-no-remote'' command line argument is used to start a further instance of Firefox and allow it to run simultaneously. This option is not used for the version chosen as the default browser.
To do this successfully you need separate unique profiles for each Firefox version. Remember bookmarks & settings are contained in these profiles. Take care with profiles, use only empty folders for creating the new profiles (otherwise deleting profiles will destroy other data) and it is probably sensible at least initially not to delete or rename profiles, choose distinctive names (maybe not the version number, that could change if you upgrade - remember he 6 week rapid release cycle.) Presumably you are also aware of the Aurora, Beta & Nightly channels.
You will need to choose the custom install option when installing, or you will just overwrite each install in turn.

Firefox will not update after installing new version

I have repeatedly updated Firefox (both by updating and by uninstalling completely and re-installing a fresh copy of the latest version) and when I go to HELP > ABOUT FIREFOX it shows I have version 6.0.2
BUT
SEVERAL sites (including Mozilla.com) give me pop-up notices saying I am using an outdated version of Firefox and need to upgrade. Firefox on this PC even looks and acts different than it does, for example on my other Windows 7 PC (which also has v 6.0.2)
HOW can I get Firefox to actually fully update itself and not only report that it's the latest version (I see that in the config it's reporting v 3.0.11) but to act like the latest version?
Like I said, I have tried uninstalling it completely and installing a fresh copy downloaded from Mozilla.com.

After updating, Firefox informed me that Constant Guard, the security system which is provided by Comcast, is not compatible with this update and was disabled. WHY? Will Firefox now automatically provide security against online threats?

Firefox upgraded automatically; in doing so, it stated that Constant Guard Security Suite, which is provided by Comcast, my internet service, is not compatible, and had to be disabled. Please explain why; is Firefox providing anti-virus when I surf the internet? If not, this is NOT an 'upgrade' and I will never use Firefox. Please respond as soon as possible.

Hi, Thanks for that further bug description In Your Last Message That Describes The Problem I Am Having perfectly and is exactly the same for me.
unfortunately that fix for my camera Powershot G6 does not work or apply as the view pictures switch is different on G6 is not usable during download as once you plug in DC/USB cable it turns off, and makes no diff and problem still exists exactly as you just described.
thanks anyways "Selz Boy"
it has been 17 days since apple promised to get back to me within 3-5 days hopefully with a solution, but I have still not heard from them.
They blew me off, i guess, probably i will have to wait for new Yosemite OS update, which they pre-warned me could take as much as 6 months.
I cannot believe apple released this new update with such major bug issues for camera downloads and that horrible "Photos" pgm which has all sorts of downgrades in features, usefulness and new bugs compared to iPhotos which I just finally got used to and was much better software.
I am starting to lose faith in Apple and I am getting that Microsoft "FEEL" like I used to have when I was a PC user, which was why I originally switched to Apple computers in first place.
Oh well got my fingers crossed here.
Thankfully the memory card reader solution is working well, but cost me $45.

Airport utiliy 5.6 refuses to install over version 6.2.

Hai all experts out there,
I tried to configure my somewhat older Airport Extreme with Airport utility 6.2. This program cannot handle this version of Airport (2004). Support has adviced me to use Airport utiliy 5.6. When trying to install this version parallel to version 6.2, I get an error message after 2 minutes of activity "Error installing Airport utility."
Please help!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can't install an older AirPort Utility version if you are running a newer version than the one you want to install on your computer.
However, there are some workarounds to install AirPort Utility, for example, this workaround > http://frank.is/mountain-lion-and-the-old-airport-utility/ Note that you don't have to download AirPort Utility again in order to use it

When will ver 7.0 be able to automatically install over ver 3.6.23?

I have 3.6.23. I completed the download of 7.0. But there was no further activity- apparently the install steps were not included with the download.

If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

When will Firefox offer a 64-bit version ? I use my 32-bit Firefox,but keep my 64-bit Waterfox and Pale Moon ready, when Firefox crashes on Windows 8.

I am a Firefox Veteran. Been around since the NCSA web browser days and used the first Firefox web browsers. I have never liked or trusted Microsoft Windows, so I've never used Internet Explorer. I had tweaked Windoze Blue Screen Of Death software from the Windows 3.0 days and did minor maintenance on the "Pizza Boxes" to keep them alive until I or my duty station could afford a newer one. Firefox has always performed for me working for "Uncle Sam" or at home. I keep Firefox and the versions: Sea Monkey, Aurora, Nightly on my laptop because I like Firefox and I like to switch from one browser to the other sometimes -- plus, in a Windows crash, I have a backup browser. Windows always "Crashes"; somethings never change. My 32-bit Firefox doesn't seem as reliable on my 64-bit 'Windoze' 8 as it was on Windows 7. My hope is that some of the Firefox Gurus have a 64-bit Firefox up on blocks in the shed out back ready to rock and roll or at least release as experimental to be played with and tested. Thanks guys -- Keep up the good work. Sam

Someday. This is a question asked multiple times but the answer is always the same, there is no real benefit to moving to 64 bit Firefox, and the amount of work required to do something with no benefit makes this a low priority. Eventually it will happen, but just because it uses 64bit doesn't magically make things better.

ITunes will not start after installing newest version

After installing the newest version of iTunes, I click on the iTunes icon and the license agreement flashes on the screen and disappears before I can click on the agreement. I am running Windows 2000 professional edition. Quick time will also not start. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, with and without firewall software running. Nothing seems to help.

hi Rachel!
No error messages, nothing. The hourglass is next to the mouse for about 3 seconds.
okay, if it's not NIS 2005 related, let's first check up on this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386
... but by the sound of it, you might need to check on this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
if it turns out to be a weird start-up item to blame, would you mind letting us know what it's called? (there's a hint that there's a new kind of malware out there causing "the flash" and possibly some other start-up problems.)
keep us posted.

My computer running on Windows 7 blue screens often whenI use Firefox since I installed latets version

I have been using Mozilla for a long time. On one computer where I am running Windows 7, I suddenly started having problems after I downloaded the latest upgrade to Firefox 7.0.1 . not only does silverlight not work-always crashes, but firefox often (several times a day) stops responding and my computer blue screens. None of this was happening until this latest upgrade.
I am not currently sending this from my computer with the problem because I cannot get Firefox to open

Updating this thread...
I see some people talking about Forms 6i and SQL Plus crashing when connecting to a database:
APPCRASH Problem for plus80 and forms 6i builders
Forms Developer 6i will crash if you try connecting to a database running the AL32UTF8 character set. Older systems require the UTF8 character set.
Here are several very old threads with similar issues:
connecting form 6i to oracle database 10G express edition
 Forms 6i X 10g Database (the solution is here)
More info: In Windows 7, I am running Forms 6i WITHOUT compatibility mode set to XP. It all seems to be running fine. I have had no problems with it since I first installed last year.
Unfortunately, I don't have an Oracle 11 database available to try connecting to. I have only used this setup with Oracle 9 and 10 databases.

Today I think firefox automatically installed a new version and after that it said my adobe flash was old so I had to update that. Now I can't open links in a new window.

Firefox doesn't install new versions of plugins, but Flash may update itself automatically. 
You are still one version behind on Flash, current is Flash 10.1 r85 
If the Flash player didn't update properly then you need to download the full version and run the installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as ...)
Flash Global Notifications Settings Panel: 
*http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.html
You are more versions behind on Java updates with having Java 6 U11, current is 6 U22.
*Java Plug-in 1.6.0_11 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)
Update the [[Java]] plugin to the latest version.
