Can firefox exist side by side w/IE? IE is the office explorer but I need firefox for school- can both exist on the same desktop?

My employer uses Internet Explorer, and our infoweb is on that homepage. I need firefox for graduate school. (My home internet w/firefox is via satellite which won't fully meet the needs). Can I download firefox to my office desktop without removing Internet Explorer? Can both browsers exist "side-by-side"?

Hi,
Firefox can be installed just like any other programs for the Windows OS. The only constraint may be the office IT policy / restrictions. You can download the latest version here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

  • I accidently click for a full screen view on Firefox and now I can't undo it. My bar with tools, bookmarks, etc. is not visible. As the browser opens, the bar appears but then jumps up where it can't be reached. How do I turn off the full screen?

    Co-el, This wasn't possible as there wasn't a navigation bar available. The F11 did the trick though. Thanks for adding to the discussion.

  • Can I please use the MS Explorer "favorites" instead of Firefox "Bookmarks?"

    I love Firefox except for one thing: I think MS Explorer "Favorites" is easier to use than Firefox "Bookmarks." I've already imported my Favorites from Explorer into Firefox. Now I want to continue adding bookmarked pages to my Favorites folder structure. How can I do this?

    One option is to use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/668/ PlainOldFavorites] add-on. It lets you use Explorer favorites from inside Firefox.

  • Hi, I forgot my user password mac 10.9.4 I don't need it to log in but i need it to make changes, etc. It says a password hasn't been set for this account but it still asks for one when i click on the lock icon. can anyone help me? thx!

    This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password.  Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
    If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal.  When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press Enter.  When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account.  Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save.  Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
    Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
    And you have a new password for your account.

  • Configuration of FP-Modules. In the catalog is something written about sending data on data change. There is a checkbox in the FP-Explorer but I can�t find a configuration menu in FP-Explorer to set the threshold value at which the data will be send.

    : Configuration of FP-Modules. In the catalog is something written about sending data on data change. There is a checkbox in the FP-Explorer but I can�t find a configuration menu in FP-Explorer to set the threshold value at which the data will be send.The FP-1600 modules automatically send data on-change only. The change threshold is by default 0%. Any change, even a single least significant bit change, is sent back to the computer. If the FP-1600 firmware revision supports deadbanding (firmware revision 3.0.x and later, can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/fieldpoint/Update/FPEthernet0320.zip ). Then on each analog channel or count channel you can specify a percentage change for deadbanding in FieldPoint Explorer. This is done on a channel by channel basis, by right-clicking on the particular IO module and choosing Edit this Device, then choosing Channel Configuration. Each channel (if it supports deadbanding) will have a deadband entry box on the middle right side of the screen).
    The FP-1000/1001 seri
    al network modules do not support deadbanding. The checkbox in FieldPoint Explorer is simply for how FieldPoint Explorer displays the data to the user and does not effect client programs nor the behavior of the network module itself.

    Hi Shreya,
    That answer seems to work in purchased books but in my case I dont know who is the ebook provider in lebrary.  I asked library people and they did not give me any contact to reset the activation.  I will try again to find out that contact. I was wondering if there is any way at our side so we can fix this.  Probably there is nothing. Thanks anyway.

  • Microsoft adcenter ad titles appear in internet explorer but not in firefox in English

    Microsoft adcenter ad titles appear in internet explorer but not in firefox in English
    Tried Microsoft help but so far unable to identify problem.
    Thought it might be connected to java but removal of java makes no difference
    Starting in safe mode resolves problem but about 500 add ons suspected

    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * If you have many extensions then you can first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
    Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

    You want to restore from the backup. Do not set up as new. You can read the article that Tom posted above, but it really is pretty simple.
    Transfer any purchases from the old iPad into iTunes, backup the old iPad in iTunes and them sync one more time.
    Connect the new iPad and when prompted during activation, restore from the backup that you just created and then sync with iTunes.
    The new iPad should be identical to the old iPad, but you will have to enter some passwords again on the new device.
    Transfer purchases.

  • I have an iPhone 5 and a PJ205 ipico Handheld LED Personal Projector for Apple iPhone 4. I bought the apple adapter but now need the app. Apple's App Store doesn't have it anymore, where can I get one?

    I have an iPhone 5 and a PJ205 ipico Handheld LED Personal Projector for Apple iPhone 4. I bought the apple adapter but now need the app. Apple's App Store doesn't have it anymore, where can I get one?

    Hi Chris.
    It's asking you for my apple id password. not going to give that out, sorry.
    However I did try this projector on my mother in laws iphone 4 and on my old iphone 3. ipico software isn't needed. plug and play any video through standard movie player or camera saved video.
    I tried on my girls iphone 5 with the adapter. The ipico software and projector doesn't work on this phone.
    Hope this helped you. Better to buy a used iphone 3 or 4 and use it for video storage.
    I also found that the battery on these projectors are a joke (30-60mins max). I rigged a longer lasting battery on the outside and keep it plugged in while using. This doesn't charge the phone though so I replaced the battery in the old iphone 3 and now get at least a full length movie from it. Great in bed projected onto the ceiling.
