mozilla firefox questions

I keep getting that little symbol on the lower right hand corner of my browser saying there is an update. I am at firefox 0.9.3, the latest. Is there anyway to get rid of that little update?

Also, I checked my remove/uninstall files. on the list, it lists four different mozilla firefoxs. 0.8, 0.9, 0.9.1, and 0.9.3. Can I uninstall the first three since I have 0.9.3 or do I just leave them there? Any help is much appreciated.

 

Click your START button. Click on RUN and type msconfig.

Go to the STARTUP tab and look for the update that you want to get rid of.

 

it's not on there. But thanks for your suggestion. I didn't think about that.

 

I found a great solution to all Firefox related problems.

Its called Internet explorer.

Sadly its a lil slower and for some reason people like to attack your PC when you use it but apart from those it works great and witouth all that plugin crap either.

 

do you ever say anything useful?

 

Could you post a picture of the icon?

I think a simple uninstall and reinstall would do it. You can export all of your bookmarks to a file.

If you do choose to uninstall, make sure the "Program Files/Mozilla Firefox" and the "Documents and Settings/<username>/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox" folders are gone before you reinstall.

IE is bad. It's slow, it's vulnerable and unstable. Even the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommends not using it. The only reason to use IE is for windows update.

stompoutloud,

The easiest way is to backup the bookmarks, uninstall everything and then only install 0.9.3 again. The problem should be fixed after that.

 

hehe, Many ppl had that problem too including myself. It's really a bug they forgot to fix. But First try re-installing it. Fully un-install the old one then install the new version 9.03. If not and it still happens, let me know cos then I'll tell u how to get ridda it manually through firefox itself. I'm at my cousins house right now and will be back home today sometime. I'll find the info again and post it here.

 

Hey thanks guys. I tried to unistall it and it says that mozilla is still running. haha. I guess I need to find a way to manually uninstall it.

 

Try CTRL+ATL+DEL and in Processes end the task firefox.exe. There maybe more than one running.
