Lost Auto Update for several apps

| For some reason Adobe Reader was not automatically updated on one of the computers in our home. The Reader was stuck at 7.1, not the current 9.2, so several opportunities to update didn't take place. I am running the same stuff on another computer and not having the same problem.
When I went to Firefox and tried to update it would not download. I then checked on the update for Firefox and saw a 3.5.5 update available... I updated and then went back to Adobe and the download was accomplished.
Guess my question is: is there some setting in Firefox and IE that would prevent the automatic update from taking place?
The real root problem, is my wife likes to use a credit card Virtual Account (in her case AT&T Universal Card) and for some reason it stopped working - it does interact with Firefox, the update in Firefox didn't fix the problem.
Sorry for the ramble, it may trigger some help in someone's mind. I'll try to trouble-shoot further and may be able to post a more succinct question. Now off to other things. |

| My recollection, which is always foggy, is a member not too long ago had a similar concern. I think the resolution was the Internet security settings. I don't remember for sure, but I am confident someone will recall exactly, or if I am in error help you along the correct path. DA |

DA,
Thanks, I did look at both IE and FF, and there are security functions that could block, e.g., Trusted and Not Trusted lists for IE, something similar for FF. I found a number of Adobe based URLs that were on the "bad guy list".. I think they had dashes instead of dots as one giveaway. The problem with the Virtual account may be related, as it uses Flash Player - Adobe stuff. I'll scrub the installation web site for more guidance on what I have to have. |
