I can not get Mozilla to be my prefered browser instead of Internet Explorer. Please hellp[, because I rally want to use Foxfire, etc

How do I get Mozilla to be the browser that opens whn I start my computer. Also, wwwhen I click a site on my email, I want it to go to Mozilla, not Internet Explorer.

Hi adeleann,
You should take a look at [[How to make Firefox the default browser]] and if you have any issues with that, try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Setting-Firefox-default-browser-does-not-work this article next]. This should provide you with all the information you need to get up and running.
Hopefully this helps!

I just bought this computer. My Internet Explorer is version 11.0.1
I have the box checked to Install new version automatically, but it has not done any upgrading.
I can't get the computer to update anything as far as I can see.
The flash plug in does work with the Crome browser but it will not work with Internet explorer.
I looked in the manage add-ons and it says enabled.
I also went into the safety tab and deselected
Active X filtering.
Restarted and still does not work.
I need help.....
Chrome uses a different and separate plug-in.
There are things about IE you need to know, especially 11. Specifically:
"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess they've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Message says: "can not get mail, the connection to the server failed" . Now I'm confused because all the mail shows up perfectly.

I just upgraded to the 5s. I have several mail accounts and I'm getting a message that says: "can not get mail, the connection to the server failed" . Now I'm confused because all the mail shows up perfectly.

Well it does it every time I go to mail and is driving me nuts. It never happened on my iPhone5, just on this 5s.

I can not get some apps to rotate to the landscape or horizonal position. Help !

Not all apps support landscape positioning. If you'll post the name of the apps you are having problems with, someone can probably tell you if that is indeed the case in your situation.

Can NOT get mozilla fire fox browser to close

I am changing over to Google Chrome and I went into my control Panel to delete Mozilla Fire Fox Browser and it Says that I must close the browser first. I HAVE IT CLOSED . I am trying to change browsers because My Adobe Flash Player CRASHED and I can NOT update the new plug-in because it gets 50% loaded and it stops and asks me to close Mozilla Fire Fox first . BUT the browser is NOT even OPEN... I am Logged into Google Chrome trying to update my Adobe Flash Player and IT SAYS please close Mozilla Fire FOX .. So I went into CONTROL PANEL and I can NOT even remove the browser!!!! Someone please HELP...How is it That this browser is running YET i do NOT even have it OPEN??????

Well, I can try to do one of several things here:
1. Help you fix Firefox and update your adobe flash.
or
2. Help you uninstall Firefox.
Let's do #1 first.
* Open the task manager (it appears you are actually using Windows XP?). Just use Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
* Now go to the processes tab, and find "firefox.exe" (without the quotes), Select it, then click "End Process".
* Or, if you want to, just restart your PC (this should always fix the problem of Firefox saying it's open when it isn't)
* Download Adobe Flash from [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin_32bit.exe here]. Run it.
* Start Firefox back up. It seems that the most likely reason for you having firefox.exe hang at shutdown is a bad extension, so you can try [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to diagnose if you have more problems.
Ok, to just uninstall Firefox, let's do this:
* Open the task manager (it appears you are actually using Windows XP?). Just use Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
* Now go to the processes tab, and find "firefox.exe" (without the quotes), Select it, then click "End Process".
* Or, if you want to, just restart your PC

How can I get photo templates in iWeb to display on Windows Internet Explorer?

I am creating a web site, using iWeb 3 (latest version), for a friend's band. I have created a Photos page, using the My Album template. I have also created various bio pages, using the Photo template. When I tesy the pages on my virtual Windows maching, with Internet Explorer 9, I can only see the text and no photos. Anyone have a similar problem and a solution, being to continue to use the iWeb page templates?
Thanks in advance
WeetMab

virtual Windows
you can not depend virtual machine, it's an emulator and emulator is not the real thing... just like open a web page in safari and use develop --> user agent.
you have to test it out with a real pc and real ie browser.
iweb photos/albums page are loaded with javascript widgets, so turn on javascript in you pc/browser.
optimize photos/albums page will have no effects with javascript widgets.
fact check people, a lot thing won't when javascript is off... start out with navbar...

Firefox sometimes will open in the background instead of the standard UI as normal after clicking on the desktop shortcut. When this happens I simply end the task/process manually via windows task manager & on the second attempt it will open normally.
To open task manager & end task/process
1. Press & hold at the same time Ctrl + Alt + Del
2. Select Start Task Manager
3. Select the Processes Tab
4. Locate & click on firefox.exe & click the end process button on bottom right. If you get a message saying the program is not responding, simply select end now when prompted.
5. Click on Firefox icon on desktop to open Firefox and it should be fine.

What App are you using to get the audio stream? Safari should work unless Flash is involved.

My phone is listed as compatable on the Mozilla site, but I can not get it to locate the mobile or download it

I have the Sony Erickson Experia X10 phone with Android 2.6 running on it. My phone is listed in the compatible phones list, but I can not get it to locate the app, nor can I get it to download. I have tried from the browser, the market app and even android.com's site. I can find the mobile app on the android.com market site (via my laptop) but it insists that it is not compatible with my phone. I love my FF and want the continuity this would provide. Please help!!

There is no version 2.6 of Android. If you are using Android 1.6, then you will need to update your phone to Android 2.0 or later before you can install Firefox.
To check which version of Android you have, open the "Settings" app, then choose "About phone" and look for "Android version."

No Mail. I can not get or send mail from my iPhone,iCloud, or mail on the desktop. Password is correct i can get into iCloud but not able to get mail.

I can not get or send mail from my iPhone, iCloud, and desktop mail. All are the same account, password is right and working. When the problem first happened I updated to a new password.
The Mail and the phone are telling me ( "The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “k****n******2”}
From the iCloud account i get a message saying mail could not be loaded and the details. Which i have copyed below.
Any thoughts or anyone I can ring ? This was a paid for mobile me account.
Thanks

Spent at least 40 min talking to apple support, to sort it out. luckly not at my cost. After trying lots of things and speaking to a higher grade support person I was given a temp password which did the trick. I then was able to reset that with my own password.
The impression i got was no one knowns what the problem is and resetting the password at the apple end works. Not sure if you would be able to self fix.

I can not get my IE 8 favorites over to Firefox (ver.25.0.1) bookmarks even after exporting IE fav. to html file and then in Bookmarks importing thru Manager!!

using XP professional, have hundreds of Favorites in IE 8. I can not get them over into Firefox either directly from the Bookmarks Manager (show all bookmarks/import and backup/Import data from another browser OR by exporting the Favorites in IE 8 to a html file (did) and then coming back over to Firefox Bookmarks and using the Bookmarks/show all bookmarks/import and backup/import bookmarks from html file. I find the file, double click it open BUT nothing happens in the Bookmarks Library???
It is not a case on some come over - nothing happens??

Did you try a search in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) for some know bookmarks?
Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You should still have your profile folder, so when you install 3. you will get your bookmarks and other user data back.
There is a third party version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
