Will the firefox 25 update really reinstall the 4 uninstalled Kaspersky internet files after the update is complete?
I'm concerned that the updating process will not reinstall my Kaspersky internet security files when the updating is done. I have asked Kaspersky this same question but did not get a satisfactory answer. I am running Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 on a Windows Vista OS.
Firefox won't uninstall any Kaspersky files during the update process, nor will it reinstall any that weren't there before the update process.
What Firefox will do is '''disable''' any Kaspersky extensions that aren't marked by Kaspersky as compatible with Firefox 25. and once Kaspersky fixes "their stuff" and your PC receives those updated files, those Firefox extensions will work again. Firefox checks compatibilty of extensions every time it is opened, so once your Kaspersky extensions are updated Firefox will automatically enable them on startup.
Kaspersky isn't known for timely updates of their Firefox add-ons. It's almost like the Kaspersky developers have trouble keeping track of the Firefox 6 week schedule for new version releases; or they wait until the last minute to test the compatibility of "their stuff" with Firefox.

My issue is with updating Firefox in KIS 2011 safe run mode. I recently upgraded my Firefox web browser OUTSIDE OF KIS SAFE RUN MODE to Firefox 3.16.19. When I clicked on KIS safe run mode I expected the upgrade to take effect. This was not the case (still version 3.6.17).
I then tried to upgrade the Firefox browser IN KIS SAFE RUN Mode and received the following error messages "software update failed" or "the update could not be installed please make sure their are no other copies of Firefox running on your system and try again."
I thought if I killed the Firefox process outside of KIS safe run and ran it as an administrator it might work- it didn't - just opened 3.6.19 outside of safe run mode. I then tried to update manually when in safe run mode and received a side-by-side configuration error. I am a basic computer user not a techie and could use some help that hopefully isn't to complicated for me to enact!

Re: Uninstalled Norton Internet Security - no connection to the Internet
I have the Satellite A210-11P laptop.
Recently I uninstalled Norton Internet Security after the subscription expired and since then my laptop will not connect to the internet.
The internet itself is working fine. I would appreciate your help and advice.
KrisYou don't need Norton Cd disk, you can download it here:
http://liveupdate.symantec.com/upgrade/NIS09EN.exe
Try to do what I mentioned above in previous post
if it doesn't fix it, I think the best solution is to reinstall Windows than fix the problem. You have to get Windows Vista Dvd disk, you can borrrow it from your friends or download from the Internet.
After that, you have to back up all the necessary files, otherwise they will be wiped during installation. To boot from Windows Dvd disk you have to enter the Bios and make some settings.(To enter the Bios, press F2 on powering the computer up) In Boot menu, you have to choose Cd/Dvd boot as the 1st boot device and press F10 to save and exit. The computer will restart.
Then, it will start from Dvd disk asking you to press any key, you can press any key. The installation will be initialized, at middle of instalaltion you wil be asked to enter the Windows serial number, user's name and etc...
After the complete installation, enter the Bios and choose Hdd as the 1st boot device and press F10.
Then, go to to the Toshiba driver page, choose your model, and download all drivers.
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
For now, do what I mentioned above. How to install drivers (driver installation order) and optimize system, I will explain later.

The link to deleting temporary internet files, cookies, etc. has disappeared from the Tools tab. How do I restore this link?

Immediately after I downloaded the latest firefox security update my computer will no longer access the internet. I still have a fine wireless connection but Firefox, Internet Explorer, Itunes, and every other program will no longer access the internet, saying there is a connection error. I even tried restoring my system to a previous date but it said that a security program was preventing it from doing so.
What's the security program called? Is it '''Win 7 Security''' by any chance? There's a rogue AV app that will prevent internet access by that name. It comes in many different flavours, but it's basically the same product with different names depending on the operating system its aimed at. See screenshot.
Do you have another computer you can use to download Malwarebytes? Or can you get a friend to download it for you and copy it to a USB drive? Download from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
You can use the USB drive to transfer the program to your own PC and then install it. -
I get this error message: Something is preventing Firefox from updating securely. Please make sure that you have the latest version of Firefox. I have uninstalled and re-installed. It did not work. Support tells me to click on Firefox at the top. I have no word at the top which says Firefox. I have the Firefox icon.
This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I've updated my phone and I've made a backup. but now it says I must enter my code to restore all my files and I haven't got this code. If I cancel the process or choose something else, all my stuff will be deleted, and I really don't want that.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!If, for some reason, your backup got encrypted and you don't know the code, you'll have to set up your phone as new device and start all over again without the backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.
If you can't get pass the lock screen, connect in recovery mode and restore the phone, you'll have the option to reset the lock secreen passcode.
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software. -

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?
Ron Bell
[email protected]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:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing%20a%20previous%20version%20of%20Firefox -
thank you!
'''If you are having a specific issue with Firefox 5, please post the details, and someone on this support forum will try to help you.'''
With Mozilla's accelerated release plan, the "plan" is for 5.0 to replace 4.0.1, with no further support for 4.0.* versions.
*This will also be the case with versions 6 and 7, currently scheduled for release later this year.
*As new versions are released, support for the prior version will be dropped.
*The only exception, as of right now, is that version 3.6.x will continue to be supported for 3-4 months, as of this posting.
No significant user-interface changes occurred between Firefox 4 and Firefox 5.
95% of the Add-ons hosted at the official Add-ons website are compatible with Firefox 5.0 - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/compatibility/report.
For extensions that are hosted elsewhere, you can try using this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ - to force "incompatible" extensions to be enabled in 5.0 and see for yourself if they work. Then there's a "compatibility" button in the Add-ons Manager tab to report if each extension is working properly or to tell the developer of each extension what problems you're having.

I am very disappointed in Mozilla Firefox latest update. Is your policy to support hackers by allowing the tab bar to be permanently on. The security feature of switching off tabs bar is one of the reason I pick Mozilla. It is only one extra button to be able to switch it off. The choice should still be there and not like Microsoft and trying to force it on people
i think you have not understood how the attack really works. no new tab will be opened but the content of the existing page is replaced by something that resembles a popular login site. this works the same way in windows as it does in tabs, which you can test yourself at the proof-of-concept page: http://www.azarask.in/blog/post/a-new-type-of-phishing-attack/

Every now and then I will come back to my computer and see a message saying that something is preventing Firefox from updating correctly, am I sure that I have got the latest version.
Included in the message box is a link to www.firefox.com, when I click on the link I get a page with various downloads and a message saying that my Firefox is up to date.This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder to remove the file(s) that cause the problem.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Firefox auto-updated to 3.6.9 last night and now it crashes every time I open the browser, even in safe mode.
Hi there,
You could try performing a clean installation: [[Knowledge Base Article]] :
Some Firefox issues can be resolved by downloading a new Firefox installer from Mozilla.com, then closing Firefox, deleting the Firefox application folder (program files) and reinstalling Firefox. If this does not help, or if you would rather completely remove Firefox and start over instead of completing all the troubleshooting steps, follow these steps:
1. Download the latest official version of Firefox from Mozilla.com.
* You should avoid unofficial download sites that bundle Firefox with other software such as the Google Toolbar.
2. If you wish to retain your current profile, you should make a backup copy of it. See Backing up your information for instructions.
3. Uninstall Firefox and make sure you remove the Firefox application (program) folder and your Firefox personal data (user data and settings) - see Uninstalling Firefox for instructions.
4. Reinstall Firefox - see Installing Firefox for instructions.
5. When Firefox is started for the first time, the Import Wizard will appear and a new profile will be created.
6. Verify that the issue no longer appears.
7. If you made a backup of your old profile and wish to restore your old information, see Recovering important data from an old profile. For troubleshooting purposes, only copy the files corresponding to your bookmarks and saved passwords.
8. Reinstall your extensions and themes one by one to determine if any specific one is causing the issue.
