How to install Firefox for Mac on an external USB 3.0 drive and run Firefox portable?

I recently acquired a new MacBook Pro 10.9 Mavericks laptop and, I would like to to install Firefox for Mac on a Mac-compatible external USB 3.0 HD, and import my 16MB of legacy bookmarks from a PC-compatible USB 2.0 HD and, run Firefox as a portable application, as I did for years on my 7-year-old EOS'd Dell Inspiron XP laptop.
Do-able?
If so, I would like to do the same with Thunderbird...

Hi,
There are portable versions of Firefox and Thunderbird but Mozilla doesn't offer them directly. You can get them from PA.com. Links are below:
*[http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable Firefox 28.0]
*[http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable Thunderbird 24.4.0]
All you have to do is open it, and point the installation directory to your USB Stick

    You will have to reinstall OS X. In the future ignore such things. Don't click on any links or dial any phone numbers. They are all phishing scams.
    Deleting Safari was not a solution.

  • Where can I get the driver for my HP DE8A4L external USB CD/DVD drive?

    Where can I get the driver for my HP DE8A4L external USB CD/DVD drive? 
    On the label it says, Model HSTNN-PD06-91
    and
    HP PN: 518819-001 Rev.B
    I've had my Mini 110-1000 running our music system for a couple of years, no complaints.  When I wanted a CD/DVD drive, I purchased a DE8A4L external USB drive directly from HP.  It didn't come with a driver disc.  When I plug it in, the USB subsystem does not enable it.  Device Manager shows a yellow exclamation point, saying, "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware..."   It is running Windows XP Home Edition SP3.
    What gives with this device?

    Following up on tactic 2) above, I upgraded the BIOS from version F07 to the latest version available on the HP download site, version F19.  This went well, but unfortunately the system still does not recognize the device.
    When I try to Device Manager, and select the DE8A4L DVD device, and try "search for a device driver", it says it cannot find a better match for the driver already installed.
    This Mini 110-1000 only came with 1 Gb RAM, and Windows XP Home.   Is one of these a critical limitation for running an external USB DVD drive?

  • How to Install Office for Mac ?

    I am so new to Mac I don't even know what I'm doing wrong. I bought a new MBA yesterday, AirPort Extreme and a MS Office for Mac on a DVD I guess. I set up the wireless base station from my Dell Windows 98 work station. I can get the internet on the MBA and can also see shareable files on my windows machine. I copied the DVD files and made them shareable. Then I copied them to the MBA. I tried copying it to the desktop, then applications, but could not get it to install. I read that it has an installer so you should just double-click on the box icon but nothing happens, it tells me it can't open the file.
    Am I just doing this all kinds of wrong? How can I install Office for Mac on my Air?
    BTW I don't have an external optical drive attachment for the MBA.
    Thank you so much.

    This guide will help you set up DVD sharing on your Windows PC:

    Once that's done, pop in the Office installer DVD.
    On your MacBook Air, open Finder, then choose Remote Disc from the Finder Sidebar.
    Double-click the icon for your PC, and the Office for Mac installer will appear.

  • How to install Numbers for Mac (iWork 9.0.3)

    On my iMac running under Mavericks, i want to install the previous version of Numbers.
    The current version which came with the computer, is 3.0.1. I suppose the previous version is Numbers for Mac 2.0. I cannot find this version for download.
    I do own iWork 9.0.3 on cd which includes Numbers 9 (installed on my MacBook with Mountain Lion) but I am reluctant to install the cd on the iMac. I have a SuperDrive .
    What happens if I run the cd installer and click  the "Install" button (after the licence agreement)? Will the complete iWorks package be installed automatically including Pages and Keynote? Or will I get a choice to select Numbers only? Or is there an option to select Numbers only by hitting a key on my keyboard (this option was available with the Option key in previous OS versions but I cannot find it now).
    My data are protected using  Time Machine, but I feel insecure whether installing the complete iWorks cd will produce unwanted effects.

    OK to install from CD.  After you complete the install, immediately check for updates using the Menu item:
    " > Software Update…"
    The installer will install Keynote, Pages and Numbers.  iWork '09 apps can co-exist with the latest version.
    The Latest version of iWork Apps are stored in the folder "/Applications" and the previous version (which you are installing from the DVD) are stored in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09"

    Download MS Office for Mac 2011 from Microsoft, use it for 30 days, and if you like it purchase a product key. Alternately you can buy a disc with the activation code from Amazon, MacMall, or a number of other online retailers (generally for $30-50 less than what Microsoft charges).

  • How to install CS6 for Mac on Windows?[was: I believe]

    I have PSCS6 on one computer, a Mac.  I wish to install the program on a PC laptop. I believe one may install the progam on two computers.  I can download it but it is the Mac version which will not install on the PC.  Is there a way that Adobe will let me change platforms on the "two computer" allowance?

    If you have a Cloud account (subscription version), then the software is multi-platform licensed already.
    If you have a perpetually licensed version (paid for in full upfront) then the license is platform specific and is tied to your Mac.
    There is a platform swap process but it's only for current software versions and it's a permanent swap from Mac to Windows or vice versa.

    How do I download a previous version of firefox for mac osx 10.5.8 (leopard)?

    Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher
    *System Requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 4]   [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 5] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 6] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 7] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 8]
    '''''The good news''''' is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. '''''The bad news''''' is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

    You could purchase any commonly available external USB DVD/CD writer, such as the excellent LG brand units sold on Amazon, for about $30 US.  I've used an LG writer for years to save wear and tear on my older Superdrive.

    Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

    How do I get newly installed Outlook for Mac to synchronise with iMail?

    Make sure they are connected to server accounts.   Create folders on the server account you can use to copy back and forth between the two.  Use the flag messages feature to ensure that only the messages you need to copy are copied.  IMAP accounts allow for servers with server folders, and local folders.   I don't know much about Exchange.

    Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for MAC will not recognize the Bookmark back up file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

    Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup.<br />
    You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.<br />
    If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"<br />
    A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.<br />
    A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki><br />
    An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
