Can't get firefox 4 to load

When I try to ldownoad Firefox v. 4, it does not automatically load. When I try "click here" to load, I get a box ask if I wish to to save the file or cancel but no option to download the app. Either choice fails to load the app.
How can I download Firefox 4?

You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

Can't get Firefox to load at all after trying fixes from support web site. Have checked for lock file, processes running, reboot, reinstall. NO JOY.

I'm running Vista for operating system on an HP laptop that's about 2 years old. I've installed all current updates.
I've always used Firefox. It started crashing and creating processes but not launching. Went to support and scoped it out -- there was a lock file my profile directory. I deleted it, and Firefox started loading.
Used it a few times -- closed the app each time on exist as per suggestions on support site info. One time -- back to square one, wouldn't load, just created a process. Reboot, ending process, checking for lock file, reinstalling -- all unsucessful.

Below is from using a SIP build. It does offer G722, but it's way down on the list so it's never used...
m=audio 32678 RTP/AVP 0 8 18 102 9 116 101
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:8 PCMA/8000
a=rtpmap:18 G729/8000
a=fmtp:18 annexb=no
a=rtpmap:102 L16/16000
a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000
a=rtpmap:116 iLBC/8000
a=fmtp:116 mode=20
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
Taking Sreekanth's suggestion to try a Skinny build, I get the following when I make a call. It offers codecs in the order I SET THEM AND ONLY THE CODECS I SET! YAY!
m=audio 19374 RTP/AVP 9 0 101
a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000
a=fmtp:9 bitrate=64
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
Using a Skinny build on the phones also solved other issues. The phones use G711 when the whole path supports G711 and G722 when the whole path supports G722. It doesn't always use G722 and rely on transcoding for the call paths that can't use it. It's fantastic.. The phones also receive the QoS tagging that I set and that seems to result in better audio quality than on the SIP builds, which never did get those settings. Finally, it even solved a slow Exchange 2013 answer issue I have been experiencing for quite some time. I practically fell out of my chair when I saw everything that was fixed just by switching...
Cisco, PLEASE FIX YOUR SIP BUILDS! It's insane how the SCCP builds work perfectly and the SIP builds don't, especially with how much these phones cost.. I was thinking of possibly acquiring some 9951s, which are SIP only. I'm a little leery about that at this point. If they have the same kinds of issues as the SIP builds for the 7975g, there's no SCCP alternative to use..

Thank you for suggesting a Skinny build.. That was about the only thing I didn't try. I am happy beyond belief that this is working so well now, even though the SIP builds should be just as well developed as the SCCP ones.

How can I get Firefox to load pages properly and stop asking me to add every single page I visit as a "security exception"?

I just downloaded the newest version of Firefox today because it is required for some of the websites I need for my college courses. However, every single website I go to (even the Mozilla site, Google, etc.) says that there's an "untrusted connection." On some sites I have an option between "Get me out of here!" or to add this particular site as a security exception. As you can probably imagine, this is very time consuming and frustrating. I have uninstalled the program (clean uninstall) and reinstalled it. I have reset Firefox, and nothing helps. The problem persists in Safe Mode as well. Along with this issue, every website I manage to get access to is all kinds of messed up. Modules are missing, or the whole page is blank. It can sit there for an hour and nothing loads. I have a good internet connection and fast processor. I was using Chrome before, and Internet Explorer with no issue. About two years ago I used Mozilla Firefox on this same computer and had no issues. I have a 64-bit system, which is the only issue I can think might be causing this problem. I have gone through and tried changing just about every setting, and nothing has helped. I am at my wit's end because I have homework to do and can't because of this problem.

Glad it is fixed. Thanks for posting back, (even if we are not sure exactly what happened).

I can't get firefox to load

I click firefox to get it to run but it says that the profiles can't load. I tried the manual fixes but they don't work either.

Is your old version of Firefox running in the background? Use ctrl-alt-del and start Task Manager, then check in the 'Processes' tab and see if there is an entry for Firefox. If there is, highlight it and click 'End Process', then retry uninstalling & installing it. Actually I would reboot the computer after ending the process if Firefox was running in the background - just to tidy everything up

Loading youtube videos crashes my browser - both mozilla firefox and safari. Now I can't get firefox to load any page, although safari still works. It started when I clicked on a youtube link on FB 2 weeks ago. Any ideas, anyone?

youtube is crashing my browser - both firefox mozilla and safari. Now I cannot load firefox browser at all, but safari still works - except for youtube, which immediately crashes it....any ideas, anyone?

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

I can't get Firefox to load. When I click on the icon the page doesn't load and it is not responding

My FF stalled so I closed the window. When I click on the ff icon, the page comes up but the page is blank and when I right click the f icon it says the application is not responding

From your question I am going to assume that this is the first time that you've encountered this issue. Applications, like Firefox, can become responsive for various reasons. I would suggest killing the Firefox process. If you're not familiar with the steps to do so you can simply reboot your system.

How can I get Firefox to load "Background" images in Windows 7(32 Bit)? They will not load in Windows 7 Professional but will load in XP Virtual console when I installed Firefox there. How do I get it to load properly in the normal Windows 7 window?

I have a Toshiba laptop Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q740 @1.73GHz 1.73 GHz , 4.00 GB RAM, 32-bit Operating system
I noticed the problem after installing Firefox 4.0.1, but by uninstalling and reinstalling found it was also a problem with the previous version.
There are no boxes displayed on this form, but on my XP desktop computer, they are displayed. I have both open so I know where to type.
I installed Firefox on the XP virtual console on this machine and it worked fine, but not using Windows 7.
None of the posted suggestions for similar questions on this forum worked.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.

I can't get firefox to open at all

for some reason i can't get firefox to load at all. it was working fine up until last night, and when i tried to open it today it wouldn't open, i don't get an error msg or anything. can someone please help me i need firefox to do my work online. thanks

I have tried all can not get firefox to search for website

I run Windows XP.
It all began with the fiollowing error - "could not load xpcom. From there I redownloaded and installed - the foillowing scenario followed on this.
I can not get firefox to connect to the net.
I re downloaded and installed firefox, 3 times, no difference.
My home page shows on my desk top screen - but it clearly does not work as it will not do any searches and connect to other websites.
When trying to use in "Options" it closes the firefox home page, as though I had exited it.
I have now spent 2 days reading and trying all as given in firefox help and community forum - nothing I read fits the bill, or has been of any assistance.
The search field is empty and I can not get it to accept a search engine name like google or any other. I know firefox has a choice - but the pull down choice menu does not open.
I am now at a total loss and desperate to get back to work having wasted 22 days already trying to repair same.
I tried the automatically install add ons as per this very "automatically add" button, but it says Firefox can not modify the required file.
Please help I am desperate!

As I said, I have read about all.
There is no solution there for me - I am not an internet guru and must be honest some of the solution provided seem high tech and beyond me - they refer to certain aspects of the system which I do not see on my computer.
I would like some one to give me a step by step solution if there is one.
It began as follows when I tried to open firefox...
It told me (for some reason) about 5 days ago ..."could not load xpcom."
I have read and read and eventually found what I thought would be the solution. - Reinstall.
I re downloaded/installed the latest version of Firefox. Now the page opens but it is inert - does no searching and does not accept any search engine addition - neither does it provide a choice of search engine as it used to do.
I USED THE FIREFOX PAGE ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO SAME COMPUTER.
I can open various url's which i have saved for research purposes and also things like my bank account to do tfrs. No problem.
My email also works fine.
For some reason the newly installed version of Firefox does not see the internet or react to anything - (have reinstalled 3 times) -neither does it accept anything one types into the search field - when I click to activate the search it simply deletes it.
I need some "help fpr dummies" please
Thank you for your interest to help - much appreciated.

In my received emails, how can I get Firefox to open URL links that begin with "click."?

In my emails, how can I get Firefox to open links that begin with the word "click."? Instead of giving the me the message that says, for example, "Firefox can't find the server at click.americas.links.hp.com." This also happens when I try to open the links using Explorer.

This link was not valid when I clicked it. Please contact the person sending these links they do not seem to work. The page takes me to a page that says it will load after 5 seconds, however there is not valid link.

Can't get firefox to autoupdate. It fails every time and I have followed your instructions to fix it

I can not get firefox to auto update. It down loads the update then fails when it restarts firefox every time. I have followed your instructions and it still fails. I have gone into the MS firewall and insured it is in the exceptions list as well as Trend micro systems. I would really like to get this fixed as I love your program. this is just driving me nuts. Thanks in advance for your help. Sure would be nice if you had phone support, I guess we get what we deserve when its for free.

Install over the existing install (will not lose profile).
Use another browser for this (IE, Chrome etc.)

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

Can't get X11 to load, hard crashes with Geforce 8200M

I can't get Xwindows to load on a new laptop I recently got. Ubuntu Live 64bit works fine, even can install the NVIDIA drivers and get 3D support on it (tested this before I purchased the laptop). So in Arch Linux (64bit) I downloaded the main NVIDIA driver package, module loads fine. When I try to start Xwindows, I get a "bus error" as regular user. When I try root, my machine crashes hard (can't even toggle CAPS lock). I can't even load Xwindows with the VESA driver, it complains about MTRR not matching correctly.
Specs on the machine can be found here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu … ct=3860070
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also tried the 190 beta drivers, same problems occur. I can get any log files if needed later, I don't have immediate access to the machine.
Thank you in advance,

That combination didn't allow Xorg to start properly. I don't get an error at all. I get a failure or a halt when the Nvidia driver attempts to replace the ACPI hotkey events
Are you able to load it properly using vesa of nv drivers? I can't seem to get mine to load with any driver- it always crashes hard.
