Phenomic Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'm running Firefox 21.0 but "check for updates" says "Firefox is up to date". If I download the v22.0 installer it says it needs XP sp2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomasz86 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I just use Firefox portable which can update itself regardless of the OS version. If you want to use the normal built-in updater you'll need to install this addon: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2482475&sid=&p=12171485#p12171485 If you just want to install the new version manually then you'll have to use Application Compatibility Launcher... but how did you install Firefox 21 then?

Phenomic Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 ok it worked this time, default download is "Firefox Setup Stub 22.0.exe" but full version "Firefox Setup 22.0.exe" works for mauall install. I wonder why it stopped auto-updating though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackwingcat Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Firefox 12 or later are blocking Autoupdate notifier on Windows 2000.So I think that it would not work on Windows 2000. ok it worked this time, default download is "Firefox Setup Stub 22.0.exe" but full version "Firefox Setup 22.0.exe" works for mauall install.

Phenomic Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I think you can also create user.js in profile directory and add:user_pref("app.update.url.override", "https://aus3.mozilla.org/update/3/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/Windows_NT%205.1.3.0%20(x86)/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/update.xml"); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
