Help with firefox

kido_2

I received the following message on fire-fox I am using the latestversion of ubuntu .

Your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted. I pressed the restart button but the message never goes away.

Please advice the message is annoying.I have googled but nothing so far.

You needed to close Firefox and re invoke it not press the restart button.

The message is still not gone.I have closed the browser and restarted it but to no avail.

Try logging off and on again after closing Firefox?

Try renaming your Firefox profile (~/.mozilla/firefox) and let Firefox generate a new one?

I had similar behaviour in the past (although with Zenwalk, not Ubuntu), and I remember getting round it by... (and I just know I'm gonna get shouted at here...) logging into X as root (eek!), running Firefox, closing it, then logging out of X... and never ever logging in to X as root again!!!

From the command line: mv ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/.mozilla/firefox.old

or
use the GUI file manager for the flavour of Ubuntu you installed:
-Gnome run Nautilis
-KDE run Konqueror
-xfce run Thunar

or
install and use another file manager like xfe (I use this one myself and, if you are new to linux, this has a very "Windows like" look & feel to it)

or...there are probable any number of ways!
