RE: [Bug 263566] Re: Firefox 3: Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Update options initially editable
I had that problem, I updated Firefox via Synaptic and with version 3.5 no more problems. System--->Administration->Synaptic package Manager. enter Firefox and select 3.5.x (latest) Also doing an upgrade to Karmic solves many issues that Jaunty had. Just remember that once you upgrade to Karmic go to repositories and select the ones that where turned off during upgrade AND CHECK that each repository is targeted to KARMIC (if it reads Jaunty change it for Karmic) Or you can do a back up of your entire data and DO A FRESH INSTALL, the easiest way of backing up your data is doing a copy of your entire "home" folder, also check your "usr" folder for any important info that you may need. You can find a lot of tutorials on how to do this in the forums if you have doubts. Hope this helps a bit.

You can manually change the setting to "Ask me what I want to do" even if disabled by going to about:config, put "app.update.auto" in the filter and then change the value to false. -- Firefox 3: Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Update options initially editable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263566 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello! Is there any way to turn automatic updates on again? I'm running Firefox 3.0.3 and I would like to have 3.0.4 I have found that since updating for restricted plug ins, when java was installed I can no longer type a message in hotmail, and I need Hotmail for school purposes. In the meanwhile I used a win pc to forward everything to Gmail.

@Alexander, My last comment was for Firefox-3.0.3 in Intrepid and that's why Rooney confirmed it.

I just did a fresh install of Intrepid beta and noticed that Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Updates indeed had the Firefox option enabled. When I restarted my machine and check again that the option is disabled now. Is this the expected behaviour? Am sure that the option was enabled when I checked immediately after a fresh install, before any updates were run. -- Firefox 3: Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Update options initially editable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263566 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

My mistake, I just wanted it not to be invalid, since in my understanding invalid means the bug report is not legit, I apologize if Ithis is not the case... P.S. To be honest the guys above just wrote "confirmed" which MIGHT indicate they confirm the whole behavior ;-) -- Firefox 3: Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Update options initially editable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263566 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
