Everytime I click on the firefox icon on my desktop it keeps reinstalling Firefox... why does this keep on happening? what did I do wrong?

I have a yahoo_firefox icon on my desk top. When I click on it to go onto the internet it reinstalls firefox every single time first. What did i do wrong or what am I doing wrong? how can I fix this problem?

In my opinion this icon what you mentioned is related to Firefox installer file.

  • TS3989 I can't view the photos in photo stream. When i click on the photo stream, automatically it goes back to home. Why is this happening? How do i resolve?

    If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days.  After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted.  Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
    To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.

    Look at no. 5 in this text which was copied from Apple's support site for troubleshooting Messages and FaceTime activation.
    Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
    After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. You can complete activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
    If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.

  • I just bought a new battery for my MacBook but when I click on the battery icon it is says no battery available. Why?

    I bought a new battery for my MacBook today.  I put it into my computer, but when I click on my battery icon it says no battery availble.  I would like to know why?

    Hi....
    Try restarting your Mac ...
    "Keep in mind that once the new battery is inserted, you will need to press the power button to start up the computer."
    From here > MacBook Pro: How to remove or install the battery
    If it restarts ok the battery icon should be available from the status menu bar.

  • Hi, I have downloaded itunes on windows 7,when I click on the itunes icon on my desktop nothing happens,it does not open itunes,can anyone help me with why it does not open or know how I can open itunes,thanks.

    Hi, I have downloaded itunes on windows 7,when I click the icon on my desktop nothing happens,does anyone know why itunes does not open?

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • How do I get Mozilla to a default browser? When I click on the Mozilla Icon on my desktop, Yahoo come up!! Why?

    Same as question

    Here's an alternative. Click-and-hold on this link - http://icloud.com - and drag it to the Desktop. Rename the resultant file iCloud. Move it to anywhere convenient. Then drag it to the right-hand side of the Dock. Now you have one-click access to the iCloud website.
    If you would like a pretty icon, then before you move it to the Dock, drag this image to the Desktop:
    Open it in Preview and hit command-A then command-C
    Now click on your 'iCloud' file and hit command-I. In the pane which opens click on the icon at top left once to select it:
    Hit command-V to paste in the icon:
    Then drag your iCloud file to the Dock.

  • I click on the itunes icon on my desktop and nothing happens. I plug my iphone into my laptop, nothing happens. Can't pull up my music library! Why?

    Why is nothing happening when I click on my itunes icon or when I plug my iphone into my computer?

    Remove MacKeeper. It's garbage and will only cause you problems. It's possible that it is causing this problem.

  • I double click on the iTunes icon on my desktop. Nothing opens. I've tried reinstalling it several times no luck. Suggetions.

    I tried opening iTunes on my windows 7 many times.
    No luck when I still tried downloading it again and again. Please help as my ipad is useless without it!

    Try following steps one at a time:
    1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
    2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

  • Craigslist replies, opens Internet Explorer instead of FireFox why does this happen?

    When I reply to a add, instead of opening FireFox my default brouser, it opens IE and I have to login to my hotmail account again.

    It typically opens the default browser regardless of which browser you're actually using.  I'm wondering if there's a funky registry key or something that confuses things for your system.
    Either way, we usually launch the default system browse, which is not necessarily the browser you started the installation with.  This is a long-standing bad experience, and something that I complain to the team that makes the installer about on a regular basis.  Everyone involved recognizes that the behavior is less than ideal, but it's a fundamental design problem and it's not something that can be addressed with a simple fix.  It *is* very much on the radar as something that we want changed, and I'm pretty sure that it will get resolved in the installer over the long-term.
    In the meantime, if you would like to avoid the Flash Player upgrade process entirely, Google Chrome includes Flash Player as a built-in component.  There's nothing separate to download from Adobe, and all the updates are made available directly through Chrome's update mechanism.

  • Recently when I download photos from my Canon G11 I get one or two "unsupported image format"  This seems to happen when I have taken a photo of the same subject but have zoomed in on it.  Why does this happen and what can I do to prevent this?

    What can I do to prevent this from happening?  I would like to have all my images downloaded from camera to computer and then make my choice as to which one to keep and which to deleted.

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?
