Will not stay installed. Always shows install window and disk on desktop.

Downloaded and installed Firefox last fall on new Mac Air, OS 10.9.5. Installed as directed, same way I have always done. When I dragged the icon to the dock, it seemed fine, but next time I used the Mac, it appeared as a '?', not the actual icon. Every time I click on the 'icon' in the dock, I get a bar " Verifying ". When it finished, I get the Mac window warning me it was downloaded from the net, do I want to open it ? I MUST click on 'open ' to get Firefox to run.
Then it shows me the 'Install firefox ' window. So I have to go through install again, drag into application folder. I get another window telling me I am trying install an old version. Do I want to replace the one I have, keep both or cancel. I cancel. I can eject the disk and use Firefox after this. But every time I quit Firefox, close the Mac or Restart, I get to do this all over again. Every single time. VERY frustrating. Have installed all updates as they come along, so far has made no change to this nonsense. Used it on my old Mac for a decade with no problems, now this ?
I just saw there is yet another update past my version of 31.0, I will install that, but no other updates have fixed this issue so far.

Just an update to the original question. I tried to update to the next version of Firefox, but I can't. Says it can't connect to the server and times out. Tried a number of times, same result.

Your phone is in recovery mode. All your data are already gone.

WRT54G v.5 will not stay connected to new laptop/Windows 7 Premium

WRT54G v.5 will not stay connected to new laptop/Windows 7 Premium. It continuously runs through a cycle of detecting, connecting, losing connection; detecting, connecting, losing connection, etc. A the router runs through this cycle, basically acting as if I have disconnected then reconnected to power to reset it, it disrupts my Internet connection to both my wired iMac and other, wireless desktop upstairs. Paid for Linksys support today and through remote access he set up a new network on my desktop (iMac). After he finished, the problem still existed. When I told him the problem hadn't been fixed, he told me just wait for an hour or so and it should work itself out. It, of course, did not work itself out. Any ideas out there?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Never mind-I seem to have fixed the problem with a simple firmware upgrade. Funny how the Linksys support technician didn't think to ask what version of the router I have or suggest that I should try upgrading the firmware first. He was, however, quite good at trying to upsell me to a new router instead of trying to help me fix the problem I was having. Makes me want to go buy Netgear next time, thank you very much!

My Itunes will not stay open, I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still won't stay open

My Itunes will not stay open. Everytime I open it it just gives me a wait signal and then closes down on it's own. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still won't stay open.... what should I do now?

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

Hi there anaqeed,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows

-Griff W.

I have OPTED OUT of hot deals (and 2 others, the third will not let me its behind its window) and it will not turn off - how do I turn it off forever?

You have an opt out option.
THIS opt out option has a forever option.
IT DOES NOT WORK.
I have opted out forever on the stupid )(&**%^*&()*^ tab that occurs in the MIDDLE OF MY SCREEN, covering a THIRD of my screen (and at 62cm - this is over kill!) .... FAIL. (at least 4 times)
I have opte dout forever on the stupid tab on the RIGHT side of my screen......FAIL.(at least 8 times)
I am unable to opt out forever on the tab that appears on the bottom of my screen, as the opt out options appears BEHIND the window I wish to opt out forever of. (I call this EPIC fail.)
When I am reading a story on line, I DO NOT WANT TO SHOP. If I am shopping in Amazon for a book, I will be reading about that book. IT IS ANNOYING TO HAVE TO CLOSE OUT WINDOWS EVERY TIME I SEARCH FOR A NEW BOOK - consider that I search/buy around 15 books at a time - after checking out maybe 50 that these tabs open over the TOP of.
I also wish to get rid of the underlines with the green circle-thingy arrows that open pop up windows if I mouse over them. (there are 3 of them under this box I am typing in as I type, and nudging the mouse out of the way has opened up at least 4 stupid pop up windows - which I have blocked pop ups in the options...so WHY???????)
I realise this can not be fixed on the spot, as it is going to require an actual programmer to fix it but please, pass this up to or over to whoever CAN fix it. I have used firefox since before patch 4 after it went live. I ADORED the old "you are F****d (etc" page you used to have that was directly opposed to internet explorers page not found - and I actually took the time to read it and had a terrible time stopping the laughter (at work of all places) when I did. I do not want to change browser, but these *features* do not enthrall me - especially since *features* should be optional, and turning them off should work.
Thank you for your help, and I hope you have a great day/night and no more horribly painful people like me. <3 x o

thankyou. THANK you.
thankyouthankyouthankyou!
sorry about no screenie but the first option worked (at least so far!)

I am using Windows XP and just installed Elements 12. When I try to select a different brush or shape the drop down list will not stay open long enough to select a different item. I have used Elements 9 for awhile and have not had this problem

It would appear that you are destined for the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum since your question is related to Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements which is the focus program where you have posted.
But, while the arrangements are being made, here are a few things for you to think about if you have not already
1. Reset Tools - Select Brush Tool, then
2. Delete Settings File
Go to Full Editor/Edit Menu/Preferences/General and click on the option "Reset Preferences on Next Launch".
We will be watching for your progress.
Thank you.

HP Photosmart Premium all-in-one C310a printer, Solution Center will not stay installed.

It seems lately, past month or so, that the HP Solution Center keeps failing and needs to be reinstalled. I get a message which says:" HP Solution Center cannot run because your device installation is not complete." followed by a list of steps to take to remedy the situation, which do not work. I have to uninstall and reinstall the printer and then it will work, but after I shut the computer down for the day or run a virus scan (PC Matic) the problem returns. Can anybody help me?

Hi @oboe1827,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP Solution Center will not stay installed for your HP Photosmart Premium c310a printer. I am happy to help you resolve this issue!
For further assistance, I will need some more information:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies.
If you are using Windows, please try the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens!
Hope to hear from you soon!

Thunderbird will not send or receive email in Windows 8.1 unless I re-install. The next time I open Thunderbird it is again broken.

Thunderbird will not send or receive email in Windows 8.1 unless I re-install it. The next time I open Thunderbird it is again broken. So, I have to repeat the un-install / re-install process. Currently I am using Version 31.0, but this was happening the the previous version as well.
Here are some of the messages in the error console:

That really sounds like anti virus scanning to me. Try rebooting your machine into safe mode with networking and see if it works correctly then.

I've installed Mavericks on my Mac Pro. It works well, generally, but will not stay sleeping! Pressing the power button twice sometimes extends the sleep mode but even that seldom results in a full overnight sleep. File sharing off. What else can help?

Hi fremley,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This article may be helpful with determining why your Mac Pro doesn't stay in sleep mode:
Mac OS X: Why your Mac might not sleep or stay in sleep mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776
Some things reset the sleep timers, preventing the computer from sleeping:
Hard drive access (even if you're not using the computer, a running application might be accessing your drive, such as when downloading a large file or listening to music in iTunes)
Moving the mouse or using a portable Mac's trackpad, pressing a mouse button, or pressing a key on the keyboard
Some System Preferences settings (see below)
Open applications (see below)
Input devices (see below)
Expansion cards (see below)
Additional drives, such as USB, FireWire, DVD, or CD drives (see below)
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Addons will not stay installed

So I recently updated from Mozilla 14 to Mozilla 25, imported stuff from other Web Browser. SO I saw Adblocker and lightbeam..... Installed, both worked. So I close down Mozilla, come back a few hours later and I see my addons are not installed........... I try re-installing them then shutting down Mozilla..... it WILL NOT STAY INSTALLED!!

Hello,
Please see the support article here:
[[How to fix preferences that won't save]]
The easiest fix will probably be to do a Firefox Reset as the article suggests.
I hope this helps. Let me know if not.

Will not stay installed. Always shows install window and disk on desktop.
