This is both annoying to do whenever there is an update available and also not possible for edge.

I can install the updates for office apps manually using the ‘update package’ link from the ‘ Most current packages for Office for Mac ’ but I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the Microsoft AutoUpdate app version 4.29Īnd restarted my machine but the problem remains.

I open the Microsoft AutoUpdate app and there are available updates (either for edge or office apps), I will click update and the update will download but gets stuck on installing. If you’re running an unsupported version of Ubuntu, a derivative, or simply can’t wait to run this release, you can download Firefox 49 from the official Mozilla Firefox website, linked to below.So initially I thought that this issue was simply specific for microsoft edge but I noticed that other microsoft apps (word, excel) were also not updating properly.

HTML5 audio and video elements sport two new options: play at 1.25x speed (handy if you’re listening to a talk or lecture) and loop playback (handy for making a 2 second MP4 video play on loop for all eternity).

Mozilla’s new ‘e10’ multi-process architecture rolls out to a wider set of Firefox users with this update. The feature, which has shipped with the browser since Firefox 34, is removed on upgrade. If you want to keep it (for now) you’ll need to hold off on upgrading. Hello Goes Bye-Bye, and Multiprocess Rollout Continuesįirefox Hello, the browser’s woefully overlooked WebRTC chat feature, goes bye-bye in Firefox 49, as we warned you it would.

This enables you to watch Netflix (and other DRM-protected HTML5 video content) without any cumbersome workarounds. The latest update to the popular open-source web browser introduces a range of (always) welcome improvements.Īmong them, Firefox 49 ships with native support for the Widevine CDM on Linux. Mozilla has released Firefox 49 for Windows, Mac and Linux.
