For MACs, CCleaner v1.09.313 is available at the main publisher's site ( from the main page, hover your pointers over the For Home tab, and from the drop-down menu, the option for Mac Software should appear

Adobe has now released new updates for Flash; Adobe Flash Player for IE and Non-IE browsers are both at v15.0.0.239 -- online installers are available at most downloading hubs, while offline installers are available at the main publisher's site

For those that are able to see at some downloading hubs; Mozilla Firefox v34.0 RC1 is being offered for download -- please do note that this version is intended as an evaluational variant; just wait for the Stable version which may be released in a few weeks ( or until evaluation reports have made necessary adjustments )

EDIT 11/27/14
Following the update of Flash Player for both IE and Non-IE Browsers, Adobe has released Shockwave Player v12.1.4.154 for Full and Slim variants; both are available at the publisher's downloading hub while most downloading hubs will offer a redirect service to the main publisher

SentinelOnyx, I guess you have the regional installer for Croatia ( which is a huge 45Mb+ installer at the publisher's downloading hub ); I got the EN-US installer ( at 20+Mb on update, 38Mb+ as an offline installer )

Don't forget to grab a copy of an offline installer at Mozilla ;) ( to get one, from the Release Notes link I provided, click on the "Download" at the right-side, then when a new page opens, click over at the click-link "Download a Fresh Copy" -- this will lead you to all the regional variants

Already took care of that oberder. I like to keep every website on english because translation of many terms in my language is nonsense. My language is beautiful but some things shouldn`t and can`t be accurately translated.

Placed screenshots to convert your post to pictures. :mrgreen:



Thanks once more for the help! :)

Head's up -- Added Tip in regards to Mozilla Firefox v34.0.5

For those who have updated their Firefox browsers, will notice a change to the Search bar -- now, if the new change seems to be daunting, and you want to revert back to the old behavior, here's a tip:

1) Open a blank Tab in the Firefox browser
2) Type about:config, then press Enter
3) A confirmation screen will appear -- click on the "I'll be careful, I promise" to proceed
4) On the Search field, type browser.search.showOneOffButtons

Now, the default as of v34.0.5 is set to True -- change this to False -- to change the value, just double-click it

5) Close the tab, then close the browser ( remember to log out first from your online accounts ), wait for a few seconds -- say, just count up to ten seconds will do -- then restart your browser

Now, your search engine tab will be as it once was ;)

:!: Some offhand tech news ( not much updates spotted for this week ) :

Recently there have been posts on the Web mentioning in regards to a GMail phishing mail that says 'that your account has been flagged for deactivation' -- and, like most phishing, it provides a link for the potential user ( 'or 'sucker' ) to click on

For such record, Google does not send notices of deactivation or emails like this to Gmail users, so a bit of a head's up -- don't click on the links on that email if you ever receive one, let alone open the email if you have a Gmail account and have this

Instead, flag it appropriately as spam for Google's system to properly deal with it
