Firefox-Hilfeforum

I upgrade to version 22.0 and my toolbar Firefox button no longer starts the browser. This also happens after microsoft upgrades some new security upgrade. I do believe microsoft is trying to sequester your browser usage..

I am using Firefox version 18.0.2 on a virtual Windows 7 machine to run automated tests against. In order to keep a stable testing environment, I do not want Firefox auto-updating (we plan to do updates manually). I have tried turning this setting off under options > advanced > update by selection the "never check for updates" option, but Firefox still updated to 35.x. I reinstalled 18.0.2 and tried checking the about config.

app.update.auto is false. app.update.enabled is false. app.update.service.enabled is false. app.update.silent is false.

I also tried replacing the values for app.update.url and app.update.url.details with empty strings after finding that as a suggestion online. Still, Firefox is auto-updating to 35.x.

My assumption is that the changes I'm making are only effective for the user profile they are made on. Is this right? I'm guessing the auto-updates are happening under another user profile. So is there a way to disable auto-updates for all users?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I get notification that there is a new update for Firefox and click it, but the computer is unable to connect to the server and download it (otherwise internet connection works flawlessly). I downloaded a new copy and the problem wasn't solved. I went to your site and adjusted the settings as advised by your article, restarted the computer and it is still impossible to have an automatic update as before. (Before the change of the motherboard on the computer by authorised service everything worked fine).

I seem NEVER able to update even though Firefox asks me to do so every other week or so. When I click on Update, I get the same visual that suggests an attempt to connect to the server. The attempt NEVER succeeds (at least not within 15-20 minutes).

I downlooaded adobe 10 and when I try to upload photo's on line to walgreens the the firefox stops responding and adobe crashes. how do i fix this also some of my addons have been disabled. I want/need them back.
