Receiving error message: "Firefox is unable to determine if there is an update available".
I am running Firefox 31.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I have it set to automatically check for updates, but not to automatically install them. Lately, I keep getting the error message "Update Failed" & "Firefox is unable to determine if there is an update available". But when I check manually, I get the message "Firefox is up-to-date". Any ideas on why it can no longer determine its update status?

First, Download Firefox Full Installer For All languages And Systems {web link}
Second, Update your Shockwave Flash v15.0.0.152 http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
Your error messages sound like a problem with the web link. Are any other web programs having problems?
Thanks! I have no idea why it couldn't figure out that a new version was available...
Sometimes, the situation with complicated programs is; Updating is fine, but sometimes the coding goes Gaa-Gaa. if its update on update on update . . . . . . So, every once in a while, instead of doing an update, download the full installer. This should clean out the Gaa-Gaa. If not, save the installer somewhere, remove the old program, then use the installer.
Happy Computing.

You comments are more for Windows and not Mac OSX. Also there is no installer on Mac OSX.
