After firefox6 install my ie8 turns into firefox, why is that

hello, I just installed firefox6 and I went to use my ie8 for some items, and when I click on my ie8 icon, firefox opens as ie8.
Firefox opens when I click my Firefox icon and also opens when I click my ie8 icon.The only way ,so far, to get ie8 back is to uninstall firefox.This is odd,I've always had them side by side
on my pc.
Thanks

Maybe the icon images got mixed up. It happens sometimes. If you have TweakUI (from Microsoft), you can use it to repair the icon cache. Try Firefox again. Check the properties of the desktop icons. If an icon points to the wrong place, you can change that.

    It's not that you can't format it because you have no backup, it's because you'll lose everything when you do. Lesson learned. Always have a backup.

  • On Windows 7, neither my quicktime or iTunes will start. This started after I installed the newest update. All the files that are needed are there. I recently updated Quicktime to see if that would work, but it didn't.

    This started after I installed the newest update. All the files that are needed are there. I just updated Quicktime to see if that would work, but it didn't. I looked through some other discussions like this, and found out that all of my files are correct. Some people are saying that they needed to remove Filebot, but I can't find that on my computer. Help, please?

  • How can I access data on an external drive in my mac after all folders have been turned into .lnk files? I am desperate!

    I don't know what happened, I connected my external hd today and all files had been turned into that!

    I know I am going to sound really stupid when I ask this, but how do I do that? There was this folder called Recycle Bin, which I have deleted already but the files are still in the same format. I know they are in the HD 'cause of the space taken up in it, but I would like to know exactly what to do to clear the malware altogether and have access to the stuff I have again.
    Thank you very much in advance and sorry for being such a dummy

  • Firefox will not open after fresh install in OSX Lion. "Firefox profile missing."

    After recently upgrading OS X Snow leopard to OS X 10.7 Lion I downloaded and ran the Firefox installer package, only to find that Firefox could not open. The error message says "Profile missing – Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible"
    I checked Firefox forums and found a script that when run in Terminal allows access to the (upper) Library folder; but this still does not solve the issue.
    Obviously, with Lion Apple has deliberately placed a stumbling block in the way of would-be Firefox users.

    Thank you. I solved the dilemma, which was one of my own making although I take no blame for it. You see, a while back I grew tired of going through the semantics of manually deleting Caches and Cookies and simply locked those folders (in Users/my name/Library) so that nothing could be added or removed from them without login credentials.
    . . . There's where the fly got into the ointment. The Caches folder must be unlocked in order to run Firefox because it uses Caches to store files. Folder unlocked – problem solved.
    It seems that OS X Lion has more warts than its predecessors (initially, at least), in that where Apple once gave the user full egress to all venues, it has developed a hard-nosed, up-in-your-face micro-managerial stance with Lion – such as making the System/Library invisible. This, of course, under the tacit label of "offering the user greater security" . . . against himself.
    If you fully embrace that logic I've got some s. Florida realty I can dump I mean sell you on the cheap, lol.
    I appreciate your kind help.
    Thanks.

  • After Leopard install, start up turns off Mac

    Nothing lost as I have 4-250 Gb drives and backed up but. . .
    Install seemed complete. Upon reboot and subsequent starts, system shuts itself off after grey apple screen. Doesn't even get to rotary spinning timer dealybob under grey apple.
    I have four strikes against me here. G4 450 AGP w/Sonnet Encore ST 1.8 GHz, ATI 9800 Pro, Adaptec ATA adapter, Techtools Hi-Cap driver. Did not swap video card, didn't pull ATA, just tried dirty install. Waiting for Intel's new chipset to buy new Mac Pro. Any hope of Leopard on this heap?

    The problem isn't the Sonnet card, I'll bet a lot of money it's the Adaptec ATA card. My machine was powering off during boot when I tried to boot from my Firewire drive (this always worked on 10.2, 10.3, 10.4). When I installed the OS on an internal IDE drive it worked fine. Using it now, Sonnet and all. Hope that helps. I did notice on boot that the Sonnet cache enabled kext was not loading so I removed it. I'm not sure if the whole cache is currently enabled and need to look into that.
    It DOES work on a Sawtooth with the Encore 1.8Ghz.

  • After I installed the new Apple OS Firefox does not work.

    After installing latest version of Apple OS when trying to launch firefox it gives me a security message and then won't load anything. I opened a test account and loaded firefox and it worked perfectly.

    I also have a problematic Stickies application 7.0.  I am using Mac OS 10.6.8, and there is no updated version on my Mac anywhere.  I went to the Applications Folder as you suggested, but the same version 7.0 is there.  How can I get an updated Stickies program, or is this the highest available version for my OS 10.6.8?

  • All my pdf documents have turned into firefox html documents and will not open correctly

    All my pdf documents have suddenly become firefox html docs & will not open unless I go into the folder, right click, 'open with', etc. I haven't changed any of my settings. I think firefox did an update yesterday, however, so I'm connecting it with that, possibly...

    Try this:
    # Right click your PDFs, click Properties
    # Go to the General tab
    # In the '''Opens with''' section, click the ''Change'' button
    # Select Adobe Reader (or Foxit Reader/Whatever PDF viewer you use)
    # Click Apply then OK.
    Does it work then?

  • O/s Win XP 64 bit - Java latest version installed but Firefox Nightly 64 bit will not recognise it after re-install 3 times & re-loading FireFox, IE does see it

    Although I had Java latest version installed and IE and Chrome recognise it, i can't get Firefox Nightly 64bit to see Java. Websites with Java functionality in Firefox report that i need to install Java.
    I re-installed 3 times, I cleaned out older Java versions and did all other steps in Firefox help articles.
    If I go to Firefox plugins page, its says the only plugin I have is Shockwave. If I select the Java option, it tells me to download and install Java - which I have done before several times.
    I have shut down and re-opened Firefox many times to get it to see Java.
    Java is installed to c:/Program Files(x86). Is Firefox looking for Java in c:/Program Files ??
    The website in question is the nVidea driver download page at http://www.geforce.co.uk/drivers, where the auto-detect correct driver function is a Java function. In the end I had to use IE to run the Java function.

  • Am using windows 7 and upon installing firefox 4 i installed speeddial extension and it was working fine but after 2 days speed dial no longer appears why is that?

    upon downloading firefox I added speed dial . It was working fine for a couple of days but yesterday when I opened up firefox which I made as a default browser because of the speed dial it no longer appears even though it is still appearing as one of the extensions and is enabled

    Hello Steve.
    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    If you detect a faulty add-on, you should contact its author for support. You can also search for alternatives. Site filters are relatively common in the add-ons gallery: [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].

  • Why do I get the message "The item referred to by this shortcut cannot be accessed. You may not have the appropriate permissions." after having installed the updated version of Firefox, and the program won't start?

    I have tried to install the updated version several times, and each time I get the same message. I have never experienced this kind of a problem with Mozilla before.
    I have a Windows 7 system and a new computer, so I suppose it's not a computer bug.

  • After I download the new version of firefox, it flashes that it cannot finish because I do not have privilages to certain things in the new version. Can you explain this?

    I get all through the downloading process and move it to my applications. It then ask me if I want to replace the old version with the new one. When I click on replace, a new window comes up with the fact that my computer does have privileges for some of the operations so I cannot complete the process. What really gets me though, is that it still pops up saying I need to download the new version. I do not know what to do.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
