Firefox Install Wizard crashes

I click RUN to start Firefox install on my desktop PC. My "install new software" permissions dialog box appears. I give permission as administrator to run Firefox Install. Firefox install wizard window never appears--everything just stalls. I had no trouble installing Firefox 9 on my laptop.

Disabling Anti-virus did not work. It must have something to do with my administrative permissions in Windows Vista. Other updates have worked recently, but not installing Firefox.

I'm having trouble downloading firefox. The install wizard runs but then I am unable to run the program either from the short cut or the program menu

Firefox basically stopped working. Would not access any web pages. Internet expolorer works fine so this is not a connectivity issue.
I tried to re-intall firefox several times (once w firewall off) unsuccessfully. No error messages. The install wizard runs but then I can't start the program. The short cut icon does not look right. It looks like a web page instead of the firefox logo. When I click it I get the message "windows is looking for Firefox.exe".
It appears as though the exectutable file is not installing.

It sounds like the acorn had a white background that you grouped with the acorn. Hence when you selected another color the entire object looked red. Look in the layers panel for one acorn and see how many objects make up the acorn. One of the objects for that acorn should have a fill of none or white. That object you can delete. Now try and fill the object with a color and see if it is ok. If it is, you can do the same to the remaining acorns. If not post the AI file and someone can check for you.

Firefox wasn't coming up. Attempted uninstall and was successful acc. to wizard. When downloading firefox install prevented until I had closed off firefox! Add/remove program still shows firefox with 30.56 MB. Clicking to uninstall nothing happens.

Firefox icon is still on the start page and when selected the message is sorry firefox has unexpectedly crashed. Happens every time !

-> Uninstall currently installed Firefox -> [[Uninstalling Firefox]]
* Restart your system
* Install latest Firefox -> [[Installing Firefox on Windows]]
Check and tell if its working.

Firefox install crashes

Reloaded my Win 7 x64 laptop and tried to install Firefox but it crashes after you hit "next" to begin the install, it extracts but hitting next to start the install causes it to crash. Created a new Win 7 vim with the same software and it installed fine. Tried everything in the posts didn't work. Any ideas ?

Are you using the full installer or the stub that downloads files from the internet?
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 26.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
It is possible that anti-virus software is interfering.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

After installing the newer version of flash player 10.3.181.14, My firefox 4 started crashing.

I used to get Flash player plugin crashed but my Firefox never crashed, and that problem was easily resolved by just refreshing that page. But now my Firefox crashes and i have to restart it. which is really frustrating.
I have tried FF3, FF5 beta and the older version of flash player (10,2,159,1) and now i am used this old version but my firefox is still crashing regularly.

And it happens alot in Facebook.

I need to get 4.0.1 installed. Iwas given a link to go to a library of folders where I can get it but my firefox 5.0 crashed before I could get there and I lost that link.

I need to get the link where I can find the 4.0.1 download file. I was given a link to go to a library of folders where I can get it but my firefox 5.0 crashed before I could get there and I lost that link.

I forgot to delete my quicktime704.pkg file before I ran the 7.0 reinstall. Once I did that, the 7.0 and 6.5 reinstalls worked!

Firefox 30 constantly crashes, several times a day since it was installed a few days ago

Since Firefox automatically updated to V. 30, it constantly crashes several times a day, every day. There's no reason for it. Nothing has changed on my end. Please get the bugs out of your browser updates before releasing them!

Cor-el, yesterday I deleted the older version of Shockwave Flash (13.0 r 0) but Firefox is still crashing. The latest crash was just now. There's something going on with Firefox 30.0 because I didn't have this problem until Version 30.0 came out. It has nothing to do with my computer (Windows 8). It's annoying also how the Firefox crash dialog box offers to let me know when the problem is resolved (I provided my email address by default each time), but I never hear back from Mozilla.

While on Firefox my computer crashed and firefox will not open. Everthing else runs fine, how do I fix this?

I'm using a new Asus netbook and have no idea what caused the crash. I tried restarting firefox in the crash pop up window, nothing happens. I tried quitting firefox and then restarting in the crash window, it sends a report and that's all. I cant open firefox. I have power cycled the computer several times, tried to checking and install all plug ins, re-install firefox, uninstall and then reinstall ( could not reinstall), I restored the computer to the previous day and it still wont open. I tried opening it safe mode, I tried opening the computer in safemode, I still can't open firefox. I also tried to test for a virus by creating a notepad document on the desktop and naming in firefox.exe. Notepad ran fine. I also renamed firefox.exe to firefox3.exe. This didn't work and changed the name back.
What do I do now?
The computer I'm sending this from is not the one that crashed

Both your Conduit Engine, particularly, and Alexa Toolbar are known troublemakers. I would advise Googling both for advice and removal instructions.
I'm not sure it is a good idea to have both Foxit and Adobe Reader.

Firefox continues to crash unexpectedly. The report mesage suggests that the information I send will help Firefox to cure the problem but I never hear anything from them. How is someone who isn't a computer geek supposed to solve this problem?

Firefox continues to crash unexpectedly. When it does a message requests me to send a report that is supposed to help Firefox understand the problem but I never hear from them again. Just how is someone who isn't a computer geek able to understand all the detailed discussions from other users. My Firefox is completely up to date. Is there anyone who can explain what is happening in simple terms?

Hi Mariah ~
It's Shaunn, the original poster. Thanks for your posting. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's having this problem.
Now that you mention it, I'm having the exact same problem on Facebook as well, when I play Family Feud.
I wish someone would investigate and post a solution to this problem. No-one from Playlist has responded, and no-one "Officially" from Firefox either.
So Mariah, I appreciate you and your post.
If you find anything out...from anywhere...would you please let me know. You can post it right here and I'll get an email from Firefox.
I'll do the same for you.
Enjoy your day and good luck.
Shaunn

HELP! My old mac was requested to upgrade Firefox to 14.0.1. After the sucessfully installation, I received a message saying my old Mac couldn't use the new Firefox and Safari crashes. I have NO browser now!!!

My old mac was requested to upgrade Firefox to 14.0.1. After the sucessfully installation, I received a message saying my old Mac couldn't use the new Firefox and Safari crashes. I have NO browser now! Any help would be appreciated.

Hmmm... So you upgraded Firefox and now neither Firefox or Safari will work? Very weird. I have no idea what might have gone wrong. That said, when things start acting wierd, I always try a bit of maintenance first. About 95% of the time, I luck out and it works.
I use the free program Onyx. I run all the clean up routines. Then I boot to the recovery partition (Lion) or the OS X Install Disc and repair permissions and verify/repair the hard disk.
Hope this helps.

My firefox installation keeps crashing when I start it up in anything other than safe mode, how can I see the details of the crash report?

I've had Firefox installed on this computer for a couple of years, but only really started using this computer in the last 6 months. Originally Firefox 14, then Firefox 17.0.01, then finally 19.0
It crashed yesterday on starting, I uninstalled and reinstalled and same issue. I regressed back through version 17.0.0.1 and Firefox 14. I updated Shockwave, Flash, Java. I also uninstalled Divx, AC3 and Adobe Reader (recent installs/updates)
Updated MIcrosoft security essentials and ran a scan, no issues discovered. Updated and ran Superantispyware and found 1 Trojan which I removed.
Crash reporter comes up as soon as the firefox link is actioned. Can start firefox in Safemode.

please start firefox in safemode (by pressing the shift-key while it is launching) & go to ''firefox > options > advanced > general'' & disable hardware acceleration.
for some background on that issue you can also refer to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812683 bug #812683]
