I just got Clear Internet and when I used the PPA from Ubuntuzilla I could see the update was available but it said "A recomended security and stability update is available, but you do not have the system permissions to install it. contact your system adminstrator or try again from an account that has permission to access from this computer". Why would a change in isp's do this, it is not logical, is it?
View 4 RepliesI just got a pop up that said that there is a Firefox Ubdate that I do not have the authority to install. It gives a link of www.firefox.com to go to for the latest firefox. I checked the Update manager. No update. All of Mozilla links in google say Mozilla. I feel sure this is an attempt to install malware. It came up when I went to cnet and I guess I shoule include a picture of it. Does anybody have any experience with this?
I went on to read cnet and the first article was about major add servers serving up adds that automaticly install malware. I guess this was a case of that. I had addblocker disabled at the time but noscript active. Looks to me like having noscript saved me an infection. Be careful out there.

View 19 Replies View RelatedI havent used Linux in a long time. I dug up an old copy of Suse (version8.2), and installed it on an old 599MHZ PC. Ive been trying to update the various libraries to be able to get a updated version of Firefox installed. Is there any chance that this can work? I need to know if Im wasting my time and should just put winxp on this PC. Also, I cant get any repositories working. I assume the default ones I have on the Suse installation are bad and the ones for the later versions will not work.

Two days ago I did a regular update and since then I can't start Firefox. When I start it nothing happens and when I start it again I get the following message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process , or restart you computer". I did them both, closing the process and rebooting but I got the same problem again. When I log off I get the following message in the file below. I almost forgot I'm using UBUNTU 9.10 !
View 2 Replies View Relatedit's been quite a while since firefox 3.6.4 was released and yet i don't see any update and it seem to be that there is nothing in the stable ppa of firefox that i found.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've never quite understood why they won't like Firefox just update on it's own. Instead it appears all of the FF updates always have to come through the update manager. 3.6.4 has been out since Tuesday and while I can go to the FF website and grab the tar of the new version I'd rather you know just upgrade my existing version like I've already easily done in Windows.
Seriously if this was a security flaw update and we had to wait this long you'd think people would be up in arms. Luckly 3.6.4 is mainly just extra functionality.
Still am I just left at the mercy of whenever it appears in the update stream or is there an easy way to update what I already have installed verses having two versions of FF?
Ran the update manager and now I can not select text in Firefox. Works in Chromium and Text editor.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been having problems with the Update Manager ever since it tried to install an update for firefox a few days ago. I'm on Hardy, and I tried to completely remove the firefox package using Synaptic, and re-installing it, and I always get the same error. Maybe it might have something to do with ubuntuzilla? I know I used that a while back to install Firefox 3.5/3.6, since the only one I was getting from the package manager was 3.0. Anyway, here is the error:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/firefox_3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~mfs~hardy2_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/firefox', which is also in package firefox-mozilla-build
I can't make heads or tails of this
This morning my Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy box was all Hardy. The Update Manager told me to install some updates, which included a Firefox 3.6.6 update. That update failed to install, and now I everytime I click on the panel launcher or go to "Applications," then "Internet" and then "Firefox" I get the following error: Could not launch menu item Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory)
Note: When running Firefox from Terminal:
Code:
jonathan@ubuntu-desktop:~$ firefox
The program 'firefox' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0
bash: firefox: command not found
[Code].....
The update manager always tells me to update my firefox (all plugins included - never works as it should be). I decided to install it directly form moz. This works - I think it's my hardware. How can i get rid of the "update manager" to include firefox.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 from 8.04. It installed Firefox 3.6.6, and now I and many others have no sound in any internet online javascript games nor in anything else that uses javascript for sound on the internet. I also have one site with a small javascript video issue (fails to fully load a gif image that is loaded by javascript).
The upgrade gave me the openjdk for java. I had no sound as described with firefox 3.6.6 and js. I uninstalled that and installed the sun-java6. This did not help. The problem is not java at all. It the fault solely of that version of Firefox. I also messed up someone else's Hardy 8.04 by allowing their computer to also upgrade to this version of Firefox. This was the only thing upgraded- the only change.
Does anyone know how to revert to Firefox 3.5 or even 3.1? I need all the steps. I have to do this in both Ubuntu 10.04 and in Ubuntu 8.04. It is unacceptable to wait for Mozilla to put out a browser update that really works. It may never happen.
I also need to know how to prevent the 3.5 from being upgraded through update manager after I get a working version back.
I found a work around for the Firefox problem in 10.04. that was to install the Google Chrome Browser which does work with javascript sound. That browser is also very fast. I cannot do this for the other computer having Ubuntu 8.04. It is not in synaptic package manager like it is in 10.04. I still want it in the computer that has 8.04 if Firefox can't be fixed.
I recently did an automatic update of the Firefox web browser. Before it had sound, but now it doesn't. So I installed SeaMonkey. SeaMonkey has sound and so do all the other applications. Can't get Firefox to play sound though.
