AFTER downloading Firefox 4.0 I get a "system does not support" message and nothing happens. My old Firefox has been replaced by this one that dosn't work.

Asked by Firefox to download Firefox 4.0 for OSX I did so. It replaced my old Firefox that worked fine. When I try to open it I get a Firefox "cannot be launched" window and nothing more happens. I tried to redownload Firefox 3.616 but to open it I get a "choose an application" message and I don't know which application to use.

What is going on? I can't believe that it's virtually impossible to find a place to download the old version without going through all kinds of hoops and hoping that someone was brave enough to face the confusion of getting to the right place in order to find a replacement version. Why is system compatibility check not available before downloading? 4.0 downloaded and installed without ever stopping to check compatibility, which would have saved several hours of trying to figure out how to get the old version back (and it's no easier when you have a brain injury believe me!)
And I'll still be forced to use this sucky new version in a "short time?" Have you people totally gone off the rails?

    Capetowncrooner I would recommend utilizing a different web browser or beginning the installation process within the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  You can find more details at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

  • I keep getting this error message "Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight" even though I have a 64 bit system?

    Netflix requires Microsoft Silverlight plug in to view their videos. Every time I try to load it I get the following error message...Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight. I have a 64bit system with Windows Vista Home Premium. Firefox 33.0 is installed.
    Any suggestions?

    Your User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; '''WOW64'''; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
    As said Firefox for Windows from mozilla.org is a 32-bit application. The WOW64 in UA means it is a 32-bit application on 64-bit Windows.
    Before you ask if there will be a Win64 version of Firefox. If all goes well the first phase of having Win64 for Release may be as early as Firefox 37.0

  • Pan and Zoom-I get a warning that my system does not support OpenGL

    I'm using PSE 8 on a Windows 7 64 bit system.  Whenever I view my photos in full screen mode and try to change the transitions to pan and zoom, I get a warning that my system does not support OpenGL.  I have an ATI Radeon HD 5770, updated to the latest driver, and I believe that does support OpenGL.  If I ignore the warning and select pan and zoom anyway, the slideshow cycles through hyper fast then locks up.
    Any idea what is going on?
    Thanks.

    Apple wanted to charge me 50 bucks jsut to talk to someone! 
    I believe you may be referring to the $49 ASL agreement at AppleCare? That is only when/if you are out of AppleCare Protection.
    Can you get to an AppleStore Genius Bar?
    They may be able to fix this for you. No charge.
    I highly doubt that. There is a $70 charge for troubleshooing software issues, EVEN IF there is AppleCare Warranty on the hardware.
    However, since there is no charge for an appointment at a Bar, go make one, and see what options they give you. Let us know how it goes.

  • Firefox clears the searchbox on ebay when i perform a search and nothing happens!

    Firefox clears the search-box on ebay when i perform a search and nothing happens! The page just refreshes and i can't find any items. It works as normal when i try with IE though..
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == about 3-4 months ago..

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

  • HT3275 Time Machine gave me this message after updating to Mountion Lion "The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."

    After upgrading to Mountain lion, I got this message when it tried to backup to "MybookLive" network disk.
    "The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."
    What are AFP features and why can I now not back up to my network disk?

    I had a similar issue when I tried to do a network-share backup w Time machine when the share was on a Leopard OSX G5 Power PC.
    I think Time Machine looks for a minimum feature set support from the afp mounted drives so they can be used with Time Machine.
    Western Digital may have to update the firmware on your device to support the new afp features.
    Hope this helps.

  • I cant download Firefox 7 into Windows 7- says it does not support win/32, but I have a 64 system

    You should not be paying for firefox, delete whatever the file is and run malware checks on your computer.
    Obtain a proper version of firefox from say getfirefox.com for free and install that.
    * presumably you are using Windows (your system info, aside, suggests you are using IE ) see [[installing firefox on windows]]
    * and [[is my firefox problem a result of malware]]

  • Even after downloading add on of youtube to mp3 it does not show

    I have installed you tube to mp3 add on many times and also similar add ons but even after restarting mozilla firefox repeatedly i am unable to see the add on below you tube videos.

    Try to disable Private Browsing mode to see if that helps.
    Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
    you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    You can rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default value.
