I am having problems downloading Mozilla Firefox. I select download and wait - then I select run. My computer then says it can't verify the site do I want to run anyway. When I select yes, an error box displays saying that the file is corrupt.

I have windows 7 on my computer. I am sure it is a setting issue but I do not know how to fix it.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • I am running windows 7 and Outlook 2007, when I start Outlook an error box pops up that MobileMe services could not be started. HELP?

    I am running windows 7 and Outlook 2007, after updating to the latest verision of iTunes (ver 11.1.4.62) I get a popup box that reports MobileMe services could nt be started. This happens twice, I click close and Outlook comes up. I did not have this issue before I updated iTunes.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Allen

    MobileMe was discontinued at the end of June 2012. The control panel should be removed if still present. See HT2992: MobileMe: Uninstalling the MobileMe Control Panel for Windows for details.

  • How can I get back my internet explorer which has been removed when I have downloaded Mozilla Firefox?

    I want to download Mozilla Firefox as an optional browser as I can only access a website for work through this browser. However, when I downloaded MF, even though I tick that I do not want it as my default browser or homepage, it downloads, but has removed my Internet Explorer connection. This has happened a couple of times now and is very frustrating. I don't know how to get my IE back and keep the option of MF available. MF seems to automatically delete/remove IE when it is downloaded. I am using Windows 8. I would appreciate help and advice to correct this situation. Many thanks.

    Hi, Philipp,
    Thank you very much for your prompt reply and support. The IE icon disappeared immediately after I downloaded MF. I tried to download IE again but without success. In the end all my icons on my start page disappeared, although I do not think this was to do with MF. I had to resort to restoring my lap top to factory settings for the umpteenth time and I have now got IE back but no MF. I will keep your advice and will try again when I am feeling brave enough and have sufficient time to try and download MF again. I am not confident with technical problems and greatly appreciate your help and support.
    Kind regards, K.

  • I was having Bing browser for web searching. After downloading Mozilla Firefox , Bing is still searching for my web. I want to uninstall it. how can i do uninstall the Bing?

    I was having Bing as my browser. I have downloaded Mozilla Firefox as my web browser. But still Bing is my default web for searching the web. I want to uninstall it. How can I do it ?

    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and do a search for <i>bing</i> via the Filter at the top of the about:config page.<br />
    You can reset all <i>bing</i> related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.
    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.

  • After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop I restarted the computer, but I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a Secret Password. How do I set up the account if the prompt never show up?

    Several months ago I installed the Firefox Home app on my iPhone to sync the bookmarks that I had on my Windows XP home computer. It has worked just fine until a few days ago. Just recently I was notified that the app would no longer work because of changes that have been made. I have tried to follow the instructions that were emailed to me regarding how to setup the new Firefox Sync add-on, but I am having a problem. After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop and restarting my computer, I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a password and a secret phrase, as the instructions specify. How do I set up the account if the prompt never shows up?

    Click on the Firefox button then select Options to open the Options dialog. Now go to the Sync panel for the option to setup a new account.

  • Error Box displays in JClient Form with no text (preview 9.0.3)

    I am using Preview 9.0.3, with a JClient Form, running as an applet. When I execute the applet within JDeveloper, an Error box displays, but has NO text. When I try to close the box, it just keeps redisplaying, with no text. I am using the -Djbo.debugoutput=console, and the last statement to be logged is the SELECT statement from the Entity Object I am working with.
    Is there any other diagnostic logging I can turn on to find out what the error is?
    Any ideas?

  • I need to apply for a student loan and I am told that the version of firfox is not supported It recommend I download an older version: Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x and 3.6.x How do I do this?

    I'm told to download an older version of firefox that supports the application for federal student loan. They want me to download: Windows 7 - Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x and 3.6.x

    The fafsa.gov site does not currently support Firefox newer than version 3.6.x. That is their choice.
    You can install Firefox Portable version to use only on that site and use your installed current Firefox version for everything else. Firefox Portable is not produced by Mozilla (but is based on Firefox released versions) and is not supported on this site -- has its own support forum (see below). Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive so that it does not interfere with your currently installed Firefox version settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin/jump drive.

  • I Am Having Trouble With Mozilla Firefox. For Some Reason I Can Not Type Any Thing In

    I Am Having Trouble With Mozilla Firefox. For Some Reason I Can Not Type Any Thing In. I Can Not Type Anything Into Yahoo Search Or Any Where I Need A Password. Anytime I Try To Type Anythink In It Locks Up Firefox The Same With Thunderbird Can't Write An Email Thunderbird Locks Up When I Start Typing. My Roboform Will No Longer Fill In The Forms. I Have Uninstalled All Three Programs Three Times. Can You Give Any Help.
    Thank You

    Hi,
    Sounds like you have two problems there. One for Firefox and one for Thunderbird.
    We can help you with the Firefox question but your other Thunderbird question will have to go into the Thunderbird queue. You can create a new Thunderbird question by going to [/questions/new/thunderbird]
    Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
    *'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
    *'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
    If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.

  • I'm trying to download Mozilla Firefox, but everytime I try, the download is interrupted by a prompt stating the file is corrupted and it stops the download. Help!

    I'm currently using Internet Explorer and it is SO slow. I went to this site and tried to download Mozilla Firefox. It begins to download and then is interrupted by a window that pops up and says the file is corrupted and it shuts down the entire download. This has happened about five times. Please help!

    The Mozilla site. It's the correct site, I'm sure of it. I'm becoming EXTREMELY irritated with Internet Explorer and haven't even been able to really use the internet on my own laptop because of how many problems I have with IE. I've tried NUMEROUS times a day to download Mozilla Firefox and the SAME thing keeps happening. It'll get to about 3% loaded and say it's an Unknown Publisher and I tell it to run anyway and then immediately after that, it says "Extraction Failed: File Corrupt" and the download stops. PLEASE HELP. PLEASE.

    You are unfortunately out of luck with an Intel Mac and OS X 10.4.11<br />
    Best would be to update to OS X 10.5 or later if you want to use Firefox 4 and later versions (current is 8.0).<br />
    There is a Firefox 8 compatible third-party version TenFourFox from www.floodgap.com for a PowerPC Mac, but no alternative for an Intel Mac with Mac OS X 10.4.
    Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:
