After downloading and installing Firefox 8, I am unable to use it.

I am using a dialup connection and Windows XP. A dialog box appears when I try to use Firefox that says I must restart the computer to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. I have rebooted at least 6 times, but nothing has changed.

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
*Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    This sometimes is the result of firewall software protecting you from changed applications. Or it might be something else. Can you review this article and see whether it helps: [[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]].

  • After downloading and installing Firefox 4, when I tried loading it, it won't come up. Even after 5 minutes.

    Basically what I said before. After downloading it, I installed it. Then I went to try to get it to load. It didn't load up at all, and the task manager just shows it as a process, and it doesn't come up as an application. So what's the problem?

    There are a number of complaints with FaceTime not working over the last several days. Many people have called Apple and reported it here on the forums. Seems Apple is working on it. You will need to be patient and wait for a fix.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • Downloaded and installed Firefox Sync, restarted and now can't find it.

    Downloaded and installed Firefox Sync on XP SP-3 computer. Restarted Firefox as instructed. Can't find Firefox Sync. Nothing popped up on restart as instructions stated.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After Firefox Sync downloaded

    After a bit more pecking around on the phone I found it under the personalize, View all HTC widgets screen.
    Thanks though for the quick response and pointing me in the right direction.

  • Have an imac with snow leopard and Firefox 3.6.13. On a prompt downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.16. Firefox opening Screen still shows 3.6.13. Have done this twice with the same result. Any help?

    Imac, processor Intel core i3, Mac OS X version 3.6.6.
    On opening Firefox 3.6.13 firefox screen suggests downloading latest version. Have downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.15 (sorry typing error in previous entry). On opening Firefox, screen still shows 3.6.13 as the operating version although "Get info" shows that updating has been done. Thinking I may have made a mistake I have done this twice with the same result. The screen is still telling me to update.
    Not really a problem using Firefox but I would like to know which version I am using.

    Your user agent in the More system details list shows that you have the Firefox 3.6.15 version
    *Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Firefox/3.6.15
    Where do you see "3.6.13" ?

  • Windows XP SP 3 does not recognize HP Scanjet 3770 after downloading and installing driver

    Hello !
    I have a second hand HP Scanjet 3770 scanner.
    After downloading and installing driver there is only 1 icon on my desktop - Image Zone.
    There is not icon of HP Director software, neither on desktop nor in C:\Program files\HP folder
    Windows XP SP 3 does not recognize HP Scanjet 3770 after downloading and installing driver (Image Zone software)
    There is another scanning HP device installed on the same computer - all-in-one HP Photosmart C 4280
    What I have to do ?
    Thank you !

    Some things that pop in my head- your CD/DVD drive may need cleaning (laser eye). There are discs to do this or you can use a cotton swab sometimes to wipe the laser. OR- the last recovery may have been the last fatal strain on the CD/DVD drive and it is now not functioning. Maybe you could borrow the drive from the other Dv4 and try it- or  borrow/buy a USB CD/DVD drive to try.

    A small update to this issue....
    I have been trawling the forums to find an answer but to no avail...
    And... I've tried exporting and bouncing individual stems and the full session, either by muting all bar the stem or soloing the stem.....and still nothing.
    Same problems.....everything is audible in audition but nothing plays on playback.
    Since the 'prelisten' channel strip is Solo safe this would indicate that you have a track or channel strip soloed somewhere else, out of sight. Are the Mute buttons on your channel strips blinking?

  • I need to download and install firefox to my D drive. How do i do this as i'm not given a choice?

    i am out of space on my C drive causing me to run disk cleanup several times a day and then can only gain right at 200MB. I need to download and install a fresh copy to my D drive but i am not given an option on where to download or install to. How do I download and install Firefox to drive D?

    You need both SP1 and SP2 to be able to run Firefox. <br />
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/system-requirements/ <br />
    And getting rid of SP3 probably isn't wise from a security standpoint.
    Have you looked through your "data" to see what '''''can''''' be moved over to the D:/ drive? Also you should consider moving the Windows TEMP files over to the D:/ drive.
    Also, with WinXP it is a good idea having at least 15% of each logical drive "free" so that the Defrag service can be run; TEMP files cause the most fragmentation on the drive.
