Connecting with the world via the Internet is, of course, very important. It makes no sense to list all its advantages, which are already clear to everyone. Access to the world wide web is possible only through a web browser, and this is where many questions begin to arise. Globally speaking, two main ones can be distinguished: which web browser to choose and what nuances does it have?

In this article we will talk about Mozilla, but not about the browser itself, but about how to update firefox to the latest version. It's no secret that each a new version eliminates the shortcomings of the old one, improving your favorite browser, making it even more functional without installation. Well, let's talk about this in more detail.

How to update Mozilla

Before updating your browser, you need to know its current version. To do this, click on the orange button labeled "Firefox" in the upper left corner of your browser. After that in context menu select "Help" - "About Firefox".

A window will open in front of you, in which at the very top there will be a huge browser inscription, and below it - his Current version... If on this moment it is possible to update the mozilla firefox browser, the updates will start downloading immediately. When this process is complete, just click the "Apply Updates" button. Then nothing really depends on you, just click "Yes" when the system asks you for permission to make changes to the computer.

After a few minutes, the web browser will be updated to the latest version. To verify this, you can do the same manipulations again as in the beginning by going to the browser help.

How to set up updates

As you know, any updates to the programs installed on your computer can be customized. Their list, of course, includes a web browser. For example, you can update mozilla firefox:

• v automatic mode;
• semi-automatic mode;
• you can make it so that updates are not installed at all. By the way, about the latter: many are satisfied with the current browser mode, and they do not want to change anything in it. However, it is important to understand here that an un-updated browser may conflict with other applications, with the system itself, and in general, it may not work correctly in general.

So, to configure the way Mozilla updates, you need to do the following: click on the "Firefox" button, then select the "Settings" - "Additional" - "Updates" section. In the menu that opens, you can choose one of the three methods listed above. If something does not work out for you or you set up something wrong, do not be discouraged, as you can at any time and then restart this setting procedure.

All focuses are now set to modern browsers and you don't have to set special, a separate program JavaScript for all browsers.

Once I did a lesson "" that described where to download and how to install browsers. But here I want to say that when you download and install new version usually in settings the default is auto-update. I recommend applying some provisions, I will explain about this later in this lesson.

So the lesson:

First option: how update Firefox?

• 2. A window has opened in front of you, where you need to click on the "Apply update".


• 3. Here you are offered available update for a new version, and boldly press the "" button. And after that you will be prompted which plugins are supported in the new browser versions or if you have not installed any plugins before, then such a window will not appear, and here click on the "OK" button in order to continue.



• 4. And here you need to enable all the add-ons (plugins / tools), put a checkmark in all the checkboxes so that you do not need to look for where to enable them later, then click "Next". And in the next window that opens, you just have to click on the "Finish" button.

• 6. While you were doing something, a window appeared on the desktop, where you must click on the "Restart Firefox" button in order for the update to take effect and in no case postpone. After the restart, a new version will open and here I want to invite you to study a lesson on how set themes and wallpapers "".

Updating Firefox is a must, just like any other software. Now the program does it automatically without user intervention. However, sometimes there are situations when the user needs to do it manually. If the program has not been updated for a long time, it has become vulnerable and, possibly, there are already viruses on your PC. Let's take a closer look at all the ways to help update Mozilla Firefox to the latest version.

Method number 1

In order to check for new versions and start updating the Mozilla Firefox browser, you need to open a special window.
1.Click on the icon with three lines and select the round icon with a question mark.

3.When the window is launched, a check for new versions will start immediately.

4.If an update is found, the Firefox update will start immediately. The files are loaded pretty quickly. So it won't take long if the internet speed is good.

5.Now you need to close the browser and start it again for all changes in the program to take effect.

6. If you start the browser again and go to this little window about the Firefox browser, you will see the phrase "The latest version of Firefox is installed." This means that you have a current version of the client. Now you don't have to worry about the safety of your PC. However, still avoid sites that might have a virus. Be vigilant while surfing.

Method number 2

How do I update Firefox in a different way? The method below allows you to update Mozilla browser Firefox using the installer. You can download it for free through the official website.
1.Launch the Mozilla browser.

2. Go to the official website of the program.

3. A page will open, on which there may already be an offer to receive an update for the browser, which will help increase its performance and level of privacy.

4.Click on the green "Want to download for free" button.

5. Select the Russian version of the program for your OS.

7. Open it with a double click and click on "Run". Close your browser before doing this.

8.A window for installation will open.

9.Click on "Finish" when the browser update is installed. Check how the browser works.

Auto update

Updating Mozilla Firefox is possible in automatic mode, if the corresponding option in the settings is activated.

1. Click on the icon with three lines and go to the "Settings" section.
2. Next, switch to the "Additional" block and the "Updates" tab.
3. Check the box next to "Install updates automatically ..." or next to the second item so that the browser will ask you whether to update or not.

Turning off checking for new versions in Firefox means putting your device at risk of virus infection. It is through an un-updated browser that malware often finds loopholes. With an updated browser, the risk is greatly reduced.

In addition to the entire browser as a whole, you can also automatically update plugins. For example, you can update like this Adobe flash Player. Flash plugin is updated by default. This, of course, does not apply to those plugins that are no longer supported since version 52, for example, the Java module.

Launch problems after upgrade

Sometimes it happens that Firefox does not start after updating. In processes in the Task Manager, it can be, but disk accesses and an increase in memory consumption are not observed. In this case, the window, respectively, does not open. What to do? Try to solve the problem in the following ways:

• Try turning your browser on safe mode.
• Run the program from the remote profile.
• Disable your antivirus and firewall and restart your browser.
• Try uninstalling the browser and installing it again. Moreover, it is better to remove using third party program, for example, CCleaner, and not by standard means, since special program will immediately clean up browser-related registry entries and other "garbage".

If none of these methods helped, you need to roll back the browser to previous version... Download the older version of the program and install it. This way you can undo the update.

It is recommended to update regularly. If you do not want to run checks yourself all the time for Mozilla Firefox, set your browser to automatic update mode. However, you should not completely abandon the manual update either. Many users ask the question why Firefox is not updating. This is often just a single system failure. In this case, you need to update manually.

Sincerely, .

Today I decided to tell you how to update your favorite browser. Now I will tell only about "Mozilla", and we will talk about other observers a little later. So why do you need to update your browser at all? The thing is that the developers are constantly modifying their products, closing the "holes" in more earlier versions, try to make their programs more user-friendly ... At the same time, you should not forget that modernization often affects the interface and something may change in it, and not in the best for you - do not forget about this before how to install a more recent program.

The first method: self-updating Mozila

Let's say you have been using it since time immemorial and have never seen the browser automatically update itself. In this case, you need to carry out the procedure yourself. To do this, you need to open an Internet browser. In the upper part of the program there is a section of the menu "Help", by clicking on which you need to select the subsection "About Firefox". This window will appear:

The program connects to the server and says that a new version of the browser has been released. You must click on the "Update to ..." button.

The system will automatically download updates and ask you to restart your browser. Click on the "Restart Firefox to update" button.

If you have plugins installed with Firefox, they will update automatically. However, if it happened that automatic update plugins were still disabled, then go to the section "Tools" - "Add-ons" - "Plugins". Here you will see a gear icon that you need to click on. A menu like this will appear:

As you can see, I already have a check mark next to the item "Automatically update add-ons". If you don't have it, be sure to put it on. In addition, right in the same menu, you have the opportunity to check for an update for the installed plugins and immediately download their new versions.

The process is very easy, isn't it?

Method two: automatic update

If you have just decided to download Mozilla to your computer for the first time in your life, then by default the browser will automatically update. If the program is already installed, you can configure the update yourself, fortunately, it's not difficult to do this.

Again, pay attention to the menu at the top of the program. Select the section "Tools" - "Options" - "Additional" - "Updates". We put the checkboxes, as shown in my screenshot ("Automatically install updates ...") and click OK. In this case, the browser will be refreshed automatically in the background.

You can also check the box next to "Check for updates, but let me decide whether to install them or not." In this case, you will see messages that a new version of the program has been released, but it will not be installed (only at your request). However, do not forget that this can adversely affect not only the security of the browser, but also the entire computer at the same time.

Do you have any questions on the topic? Ask and do not hesitate 😉

Good day, dear readers of the site!

Any browser is a program for viewing websites. In principle, there are many such programs, but the most popular are Google, Mozilla, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer. Honestly, I can't say which one is better - who is used to what, and each is good in its own way. For example, I like Chrome better, but I also know that the worst one is Internet Explorer... But this article is about Mozilla.

How to install Mozilla Firefox

First, go to the site where you can. The web page opens.

Click on the green button (upload to your computer setup file). The file Firefox Setup 21.0.exe was downloaded. It may differ from you, tk. at the time of this writing, the latest version is 21.0. We launch the installer - we are greeted by the installation wizard.

Without further ado, select the default setting type - Normal and click "Next".

If you tick the checkbox (tick) to use it as the default web browser, then it will always open first on your computer. click "Install".

Naturally, we click "Finish". Our browser opens.

That's all. now you know how to install Firefox.

How to update Mozilla Firefox

First, go to the upper left corner of the browser and click Firefox.

In the menu that opens, select "Help" and then click "About Firefox". A window opens.

Click "Check for Updates". And we look at the download - how many megabytes need to be downloaded and how many downloaded ..

When finished, it is suggested to restart the browser.

Restart (click "Restart to update"). And our updated browser opens automatically and all settings are saved. This is how easy and simple you can do mozilla update firefox.

How to remove Mozilla

It also happens that you need to delete it. To do this (an example is considered on the Windows 7 operating system), in the lower left corner, click the Start button.

Then we select "Control Panel". There we find "Remove Programs".

In the list of installed programs, select with the RIGHT mouse button Mozilla - a small Delete window will open.

Press the LEFT button "Delete". The uninstall wizard opens.

We are asked to close the running browser.

We press "OK". But nothing happens until we close the running browser. Close the browser. And in the uninstall wizard, click the "Next" button.

And now we press the "Delete" button. The last window opens.

We press "Finish". And we no longer have Mozilla Firefox ... Amen. Everybody takes off their hats.

As a rule, after installing the browser, many users forget about updating it, he himself was like this ... But the browser update must be checked regularly (if automatic update is not configured) - this is first of all - in the sense of no viruses!

By default, the browser refreshes automatically, but there are times when you have to do it manually. The speech in the article is about how the same refresh Firefox browser... Let's get started 🙂

How is Firefox updated?

Let's take a look at how Firefox is updated:

• You will need to run Firefox browser... Then, in the panel that appears, click on the "Help" tab - (this is a question mark).

Then, in the next window, find the "About Firefox" function and click on it.

• Then the following window will appear:

• Click the Refresh Firefox tab, OK.
• Previously, it was necessary to enable all add-ons, check all checkboxes, then "Next". Now, after the update, an additional tab opens, which will offer to update the extension. This is how it looked before:

• Now the software update window does not open as before, but the update takes place in the same window, this may take a couple of minutes.

• Then, in the same window, I was notified that the update was being applied.

• Everyone in the same window suggested to me to restart Firefox Mozilla - it looked like this:

Restart and voila - you're done, you can continue to work and surf the Internet 🙂

Firefox automatic update mode

To configure the automatic update, you will need:

V top panel(right corner) select the "Menu" tab, press the "Settings" function.

• The direct configuration window will open. You must select "Additional", "Updates". Then you will need to check the boxes you need, I recommend checking the box "Download automatically, install updates" (increases security).

If Firefox won't start

If Firefox does not start, the first thing I recommend looking out for is if there are any problems with existing Firefox extensions. The browser has a function Firefox cleaning, it resets the settings to the "default" state, and all important information is saved.

On the points of what and how to do:

To fix the problem without losing your settings, you need to start Firefox in Safe Mode, this will temporarily disable all extensions. To start the browser in safe mode, you need to start it with the Shift key pressed, this is how it looks like:

Or, with the browser open, to fix problems with the browser, you need to do the following:

• Click on the existing menu button on the right upper corner, then on the help button, click restart without add-ons.

• A window opens, you need to click - Run in safe mode.
• After the startup is complete, check for a problem.

If the situation has not changed in any way, then it is not a matter of expansion. If, in safe mode, this window still starts, you will immediately be prompted to disable all existing extensions.

There is also a problem with your computer's video adapter. The fact is that when hardware acceleration is enabled, you can see distortion of text or images in the browser window.

To solve this problem, you need to disable that very hardware acceleration.

We do it like this: Press menu, then Settings.

1. Click the Advanced tab, then General.
2. Uncheck the box - If possible, apply hardware acceleration.
3. Then press the menu button again, after Exit.
4. Restart Firefox.

If this problem no longer manifests itself, then it was just hardware acceleration. If it does not help, I recommend that you update the video card driver and check the browser again.

Today it will hardly be possible to find such a user who would not know about, And there is absolutely nothing surprising in this, since today the Internet browser is not just a program with which people can visit their favorite sites, but a very powerful tool for work ...

Of course, the security and stability of such an application must be regularly taken care of. This is especially true for using the most recent versions, since old releases often turn out to be completely defenseless against attacks. malware... If we talk about the problem in terms of the prevalence of browsers, then most often users think about how to update Mozila.

The fact is that Google chrome and the browsers built on its basis do this automatically, IE gets updates through windows services Update, and people who prefer to use some "exotic" types of browsers are able to figure out the issue of updating them themselves.

That is why today we will discuss how to update Mozila. This is not at all difficult to do.

The first way

This is the simplest method that even the most inexperienced users should not experience any difficulties with. First, you should open the main working window browser. On its right side there is a pictogram in the form of three dashes. Click on it with the left mouse button, after which the settings menu drops out.

In its lower right corner there is an icon in the form of a question mark. Click on it with the left mouse button, after which another dialog box appears. In it, select the "About Firefox" item. A menu will open indicating the browser version, and along the way the Update service will check for updates.

If any are found, the browser will install them automatically. By the way, is it possible to update "Mozila" so as not to resort to such trips in the future on all menus? Yes, this is quite realistic, but first you have to change some settings in the program itself.

Configuring the browser to simplify the procedure

Open the main working window of the program again. Left-click again on the icon in the form of three dashes, and then click on the gear icon (Settings). We get into the main dialog box, in which you can change the main

Select the "Additional" tab. In this tab there is an item "Updates", which we select by clicking on it with the left mouse button. We recommend that you check the first option, "Install automatically". This is especially suitable for inexperienced and novice users who may forget to install updates on their browser.

For experienced users, the item "Check for availability ... but the decision is made by me" is more recommended. In this case, the program will tell you about the fact that there are updates, but the very decision to install them will be made by you. What is the advantage of this position? The fact is that not always fresh releases are more stable and faster, and therefore sometimes you have to roll back to earlier versions.

This is especially true recently: many users note that the 30th Firefox family is characterized by simply manic "gluttony" in relation to random access memory, and this feature is so pronounced that on weak computers latest version it can be absolutely impossible to use.

Other options

Here's how to update Mozila using automatic mode. But what to do if you are not all right with the Internet, and therefore, when you try to automatically install a fresh version, the system gives an error? If you have just such a situation, you will have to install any normal one and then visit the official website of the program.

On it, you need to find and download the installation package of the application (about 30 megabytes). Then you need to right-click on the downloaded file, and then select "Run as administrator" in the context menu that appears. The update program starts, after which you only need to click on the "Next" button a couple of times. In general, the browser after that will be updated to the most recent version.

"Android"

What if you are using the Android OS? After all, a special version of the Mozilla Firefox browser has also been created for this system, which also needs to be regularly updated! We hasten to assure you that in this case the procedure will be even easier.

You just need to go to Google play, after which the program will automatically check for updates for the entire system, including the latest browser releases. If any are found, "Android" will ask for your permission to install, after which it will update the marked software to the most recent version.

What should we do if the browser "Mozila Firefoch", which we are trying to update, refuses to install updates?

Possible problems and solutions

Quite often it happens that when you try, an error "Unable to complete the process ..." pops up. What this is connected with is not known exactly. Anyway, technical support gives rather contradictory information. To try to fix this error, try clearing the cache and temporary files using the standard Windows tools or third party utilities... Perhaps after that it will be possible to update the Mozilu browser.

In the first case, click "Start", go to "All Programs", look for "Standard". In this folder there is an item "Service". Click on it and select the "Disk Cleanup" program. Run the application, select the disk to clean up (C, as a rule).

As soon as the cleaning procedure is completed, you can try to update Mozila again. On the Russian website of the company there are also many topics devoted to problems with the installation of new versions. If you don't succeed, it makes sense to read these forums.

Another variant

However, you can do it easier. Remove the browser ("Programs and Features" in the "Control Panel"), then download the installation package from the official website. Reinstall the app. Most often, this simple method allows you to solve all problems.

Keep in mind that remaining application components can cause update errors. Revo Uninstaller Pro or a similar application will help you remove them effectively.
