Yesterday, I updated my firefox version to 3.6.14 AND i'M HAVING PROBLEMS.

Yesterday, I updated my Firefox version to 3.6.14 and I keep receiving error messages stating, "unable to update files in cache," and because of this glitch, many of the programs I use are unsuccessful. I'm forced to use another browser.

1. The version of Firefox that you posted here with looks like Firefox 2.0, based on the UserAgent string this forum read from the browser being used. Is that what you updated from? 
''See this to fix your UserAgent string - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser ''
2. If you ever used a Firefox 3.0+ version in the last three years and then went back to the Firefox 2.0 version, the 3.6 version you now have is using your old bookmarks file from when you previously had a Firefox 3.0+ version in use.
3. Firefox doesn't use the IE Favorites folder for storing bookmarks. Firefox bookmarks are stored in the Profile folder, in the file format appropriate to the version of Firefox being used. Firefox 2.0.0.x and earlier versions, it was the '''bookmarks.html''' file and in Firefox 3.0 and newer version, it is the '''places.sqlite''' file.
4. What do you want to do as far as bookmarks go? 
Import your IE Favorites into Firefox 3.6? 
Or, restore the bookmarks that you were recently using in Firefox 2.0?

Since I have updated to Firefox version 5, my Firefox browser just hangs when I am logged in to my laptop without Admin privilege. If I am logged into my laptop as Admin then Firefox is working well is this a known issue.

Since I have updated to Firefox version 5, I cannot use Firefox on my laptop as a normal user without Admin privilege. Whenever I try to run Firefox, the browser window just says connecting and hangs. It looks like it also uses all the CPU and stops all other processes on the computer. Even the computer clock stops working.
If I am logged into my laptop as Admin then Firefox works well as it used to with previous versions. I am using Windows XP service pack 3.

Hi Tylerdowner -
Thanks for your suggestion.
I already tried a Reset, but all that did was lose all my settings , search engines etc. and one or two add-ons - as expected.
I also already tried updating my graphics driver - both manually, and with Windows Update (Automatic Updates is set to ON anyway, and I've checked the optional ones as well, and though there was nothing relevant there, I installed most of them anyway!) Apparently I'm using the most up-to-date and appropriate driver already!
Oh dear........
Going to try turning off hardware acceleration next....

I just updated my Firefox version to 3.6, but I can't find any detials in My Bookmarks now? Where are they?

I just updated my Firefox version to 3.6, but I can't find any detials in My Bookmarks now? They are not in the Favorites folder which is in the local drive either.

Why do I get Partially Encrypted Webpage since I updated to Firefox Version 16; when they were Fully Encryptrd before updating ?

Since I updated to Firefox Version 16 on October 20, 2012; every Secure webpage I go to warns that it is Partially Encrypted. These are webpages I have been to many times before without any problem.
How can you Bank Online when this happens ?
Does someone have any ideas on how to correct this problem ?
Thanks in advance.

You shouldn't get such a warning on every web page.
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

The 2nd generation can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1.

I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S.

PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.

Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller? Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones. The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
Try these steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

After updating to firefox version 36, an error shows up when i try to start it, says my profile cannot be loaded.

everything was ok before the update, after the update i restarted firefox and it says its running processes and i have to close it to start it again. i click on close but then an error message pops up saying my profile could not be loaded. i tried fixing it myself i opened run and typed firefox.exe -p to create a new profile, after i made a new profile i started firefox and it opened without problems i used sync to get all my data back. but after 2minutes any page i open just kept loading. so i closed firefox and tried to start it again and boom... the same error message again. now im using a previous version of firefox which works just fine.. so how do i fix this?

It sounds like there is something in the profile that synced to the new one. Does this also happen when you create a new profile and restore the information manually?

Updated to Firefox version 32.0 - Have no access to "options" - it's blank! What now?

Thanks for you attention...
I just updated from Firefox 29 to 32.
I went to the tools>options. It's BLANK! Nothing there!
I re-installed FF 29. The options is available.
Firefox 32 is of no use if I do not have access to the elements in options available.
Solutions?
Thanks mitchell1568

philipp,
Bingo! Disabling Ghostery allows the "options" window to appear. This creates a "bigger problem!"
Enabling Ghostery "blanks" out the options window in FF v. 32.
So, that said, "noting that ALL previous FF versions up to FF v. 32 work with Ghostery" - it would seem that there is a program software problem with "FF v. 32!" A fix needed!
As you are probably well aware, Ghostery provides a significant service! That said Philipp, how does one still maintain FF v. 32 AND still incorporate Ghostery and/or other extensions could create similar problems? The Mozilla FF software programers I would think are aware of this debacle.... Maybe not. I take nothing for granted. I'm not ready to give up Ghostery, yet! That means I'm "stuck" with FF v. 31 for now!
Again, as I mentioned, ALL current extensions (including Ghostery) work with FF v. 31.
Philipp, thanks immensely for your inputs and undivided attention to this issue. I'll look forward to your further comments possibly providing a solution in order to maintain the latest versions of FF without having to "disable" any of the extensions which provide additional Internet security features. In the meantime: I'm back using FF v. 31!
I look forward to hearing from you at your convenience.

I keep getting a message that reads Introduction: A security and stability update for Firefox is available - 3.6.15 and when I click to update it can't connect to the server. What's wrong?

I'm using Mac OS X version 10.6.6. The message strongly recommends that I apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible but when I click Update Firefox, it seems to try and update but never really gets started.

* Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

Am getting message saying something is trying to upload unsecure update for Firefox. Have scanned system with Avast but no reported problems

During a browsing session looking for spares for garden machinery I got a message saying something was trying to upload an unsecure update to Firefox. Have scanned system with Avast and a couple of other malware programs but have no reported threats. As far as I am aware my browser is fully 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. 
See also:
* [/questions/826858]
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.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.

Updated to firefox 3.6.6 on laptop and now it can't acces the net "The proxy server is refusing connections" I've restarted twice. My other computer in home works fine. Just not laptop on Network/WiFi

Can't access the web on lap. It's networked form main computer. The problem started just after I downloaded/updated to Firefox 3.6.6. That may be a coincidence. I get "The proxy server is refusing connections". Restarts don't help. My main computer is fine. I didn't update it.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== just after an update to 3.6.6

Firefox 3.6.6 made a change in prefs to use system proxy settings.
Check your proxy / network setting in Windows and change it to No Proxy, if you don't use a proxy.
Internet Options > Connections in the Windows Control Panel.

I have a desktop computer with xp Pro windows. I updated from Firefox 3.6 to 4.0 and found I could not connect to the internet using this updated bowser. I had to remove 4.0 and reinstall 3.6 to restore a working version of Mozilla. Why did this occur?

I tried to update my browser from 3.6 to4.0. On restarting the computer I found I could no longer connect to the internet. I then connected to the internet using Internet Explorer and removed the mozilla browser and reinstall Mozilla firefox 4.0. Again the browser using this updated version didn't work. So reinstalled Mozilla firefox 3.6 and it worked.
It appearsMozilla firefox 4.0 has a problem.
My operating system is Windows XP pro.

Uninstall 2.x totally
Use CCleaner Registry tool
Do whatever you need to to nuke the existing Apple programs and folders hidden here and there also.
BC 2.2 was XP and Vista only

Where can I find the latest version number in a document in the web? so I can download it with wget to check if the current installed firefox version is up to date and update ir if necessary?

My problem is that I can't find the latest version number in here http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/win32 as a document, so I can check against "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\CurrentVersion" and update or not, all this is done by a script. It will be great not have to change the versión number in the script every time there is a new release.
Thanks

I think I solved, all I have to do is this:
//here I download the entire page
wget.exe http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html -O index
//here I search for the word curVersion and set a variable with the result, which is "10.0.2"
for /f "tokens=3 delims=</> " %%A IN ('type index ^| FIND /I "curVersion" ' ) do set latestversion=%%A
//here I just make sure I get a number
echo "%latestversion%"
pause
Later I check it against the registry and voila! I hope this can help other admins who have the same problem.
Regards.

Yesterday, I updated my firefox version to 3.6.14 AND i'M HAVING PROBLEMS.
