Downloaded Firefox 4 and now I can't get rid of the disk image.

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 on my Mac (Intel-based laptop) a week or so ago, followed the directions (moved the one image to the applications folder image), but now it won't let me get rid of the disk image. Trash won't let me empty it since Firefox is using it, and if I quit Firefox to do that , another one appears when I relaunch the program. Applications folder has Firefox 4.0 in it, but I can't make this annoying .dmg go away. What to do?

Try to trash the current Firefox application and do a new installation.
* Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Downloaded update for Firefox and now I can't get rid of AOL.

    Downloaded update for Firefox and now I can't get rid of AOL. I have tried to delete anything associated with AOL and when restart Firefox.....there's AOL again. I even reinstalled Firefox.......there it was again.

    Where does AOL show up -- home page?
    I think the first thing to check is whether you have any AOL-related add-ons. These might override your regular settings. You can review and disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Note that in most cases, you need to use the Restart Firefox link to actually deactivate the extension you chose to disable.
    Next, to fix your home page, try the steps in this article: [[How to set the home page]].
    If there is a problem with your search providers being switched from Google to AOL, try this extension:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Any improvement?

  • I updated Firefox. Now, I can't get rid of the blue box saying drag drag the icon to the applications folder. Plus another icon to 'eject' firefox opens. Every time I open firefox, they show up. Even Apple Help could not fix it.

    I can close the little blue 'drag' box every time I open Firefox, but that is a hassle, and I know it should not be necessary. When I try to eject the 'peripheral' icon, it says I cannot because Firefox is in use. I have to wait until I close Firefox to be able to eject it off the desktop.

    Hi dgbakker-
    When you open Firefox and go to the Firefox > About menu, does it say that Firefox is up to date? I've seen at least one other person with this issue, and any more detail would be helpful.

    This should help you empty what's currently in the trash, but is no guarantee you got everything related to MacKiller off the drive. See Ogelthorpe's link.

  • When taking a picture with home button and sleep button can you get rid of the tool and task bar??

    When taking a picture with home and sleep button can you get rid of the tool and task bar?? (the search bars)

    No, but you can use any picture editing tool to crop out the bars.  (Many are free in the App Store.)  Me personally, I use PhotoPad, which I use to crop as well as rotate the screen shot.  Takes less than a minute to do both with PhotoPad.

  • Question - I don't want to auto download apps and music. Can I get rid of Icloud - or will I lose info?

    Just turn those options off, then.

  • My system crashed several months ago -- had to go back to start, when i bought computer -i have reloaded firefox - and now i can not get pictures on Facebook -mine or any one else in the news feed

    When I first downloaded Firefox- everything was normal -- then my computer had to be taken back to the way it was from the factory. I had Trojans. Now I have reloaded Firefox, and I get no pictures on Facebook. I get all of the graphics when I go to a game site, and it is fast--Thank you!!, but when I am on my Homepage or News feed, all I get are the names, but no pictures of my friends or what they have posted --pictures. In my profile, I have no picture of myself that I have posted, or in my albums.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 4 times now, and still the same thing. PLEASE HELP ME-- I DO NOT LIKE WINDOWS EXPLORER-- IT IS SLOWER THAN MOLASSES IN A BLIZZARD-- IT TAKES MINUTES TO LOAD SOME OF MY GAMES-- AND SOME WON'T LOAD AT ALL.

    With Facebook on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see the [[site identity button]] article) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
    First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
    Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
    This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see [[Images or animations do not show]].
    Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.

  • I downloaded iTunes 10.4 last night and now I can't get access to the iTunes store

    I downloaded the latest version of iTunes last night (10.4) and now the iTunes store won't load. 

    You will have to remove all Apple programs associated with iTunes:
    i iTunes, QuickTime, Safari, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Make sure everything that is by Apple is removed including Safari. You can sort by "Publisher", when you uninstall programs. Make sure you have at least one other web browser (like Firefox or Internet Explorer) before removing Safari. That way you can go back to the Apple web site and redownload iTunes later.
    Reboot the computer then reinstall iTunes. Everything should work normally.

  • Downloaded iOS7 and now I can't get my music?

    So I "upgraded" the iOS system yesterday and in order to do that it said it need almost 3MB to do so...which most of my stuff is music. So I had to delete it, know that I could always redownload it...or so I thought. I have almost 400 songs that I can NOT download back on to my phone and nothing works...I tried doing it through iTunes on my phone and my computer. I just don't know what to do. This update is a joke considering I can't get to the player without playing a song (dumb) and I don't have songs so it is hard for me to see if something I did,

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I downloaded the newest version of Firefox and now I can not use any of the clickable link tabs in yahoo mail, gmail, or hotmail. Do you know what is causing this.

    Go to msn.com for example: at the top of their page they have clickable link to hotmail. When I upgraded to Firefox 7 this link no longer works. Same thing happens with my yahoo mail, gmail and hotmail. If you open up yahoo mail for example; I can not click on the signout tab.... it doesn't function with firefox 7. I worked prior to uploading new version. I don't have that problem on my windows 7 platform.

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I was doing the update for itunes and now I can't get into iTunes, the box that comes up says iTunes was not installed properly and I should re install it.  I have thousands of songs on iTunes, will I lose all?

    Whatis going on with iTunes. I can't get back on after doing an udate. It says the update failed, but I can't get back in to try again.

    Go into Programs and Features and uninstall:
    iTunes
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Software Update
    Reboot. Download a fresh copy of iTunes. Right click on the exe file and select Run as Administrator.
    I did this and it reinstalled as if nothing happened. All of my songs, podcasts and playlists were still there.

  • My older Ap1 version library did not open in iPhoto and now I can't get out of the "upgrade to v3 syndrome" to get back to my iPhoto library??

    I abandonned Aperture with rev1 and now that iphoto claims to open Aperture libraries  went to see my long lost library on a whim and apple says I must upgrade to version 3 of Aperture to convert the library so iPhot can open it. I don't want to. the lib was a backup on a hard drive from my old mac and I merely wanted to see the pics and then switch back to my current library. iPhoto will not let me get past the "upgrade Aperture or Quit" dialog box. How can I get my iphoto back from Apple control and get Apple out of my pockets? Anybody feeling this one?

    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'

  • Helping out a friend I accessed her gmail account via my machine now I can't get rid of the account it keeps signing in to her account. how can I delete it please

    Hi silverman65,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you added here account to the Mail application on your Mac and would like to now delete it just from there, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at Yosemite, but the steps should apply to Mountain Lion as well):
    Remove an account
    When you remove an email account from Mail, the account’s messages are deleted and no longer available on your Mac. Copies of messages remain on the account’s mail server and are still available (from webmail, for example). 
    Important:    If you’re unsure whether messages you want to keep are still on the mail server, move or copy them into a mailbox stored on your Mac (the mailbox appears in the On my Mac section in the Mail sidebar) before you delete the account in Mail. 
    Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.
    Select an account, then click Remove . 
    Mail (Yosemite): Set up Mail with your email accounts
    Regards,
    - Brenden
