Cannot download Firefox, stops with 1 second remaining

Firefox crashed yesterday and I haven't been able to load it again. I cleared Firefox from my control panel and have not been successful in downloading firefox because it gets hung up with 1 second remaining. It is the Firefox setup 6.0.2 that stops downloading with 1 second remaining, though it does say 100% complete.

I turned off my Mcaffee, so the virus software was not the issue. I called my company's help desk and the person helping me was also perplexed, so I gave up on using Explorer to download Firefox. I installed Chrome to download Firefox and it did download completely. The problem I have now is that when I try opening Firefox, I receive a popup that says there was a problem and Firefox crashed. I tried opening Firefox in Safe Mode, but I get the same message about it crashing. Firefox has a help forum that I was reading for help and it recommends emailing Firefox with the crash details so they can figure out the problem. Well, Chrome works pretty well for me so that's what I'm using as my browser for now.

    Trying to download itunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

    I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
    The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
    I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
    You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
    In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
    WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
    This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
    No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

  • Cannot download firefox, it stops at 99%. securitys or off

    cannot download firefox.
    It stops at 99%
    All of my security is off

    *What stops at 99% ?
    * Are you able to download the file ok ?
    * ( Try to '''save''' the file; before trying to run the file)
    * Are you able to find the downloaded file on your computer
    *The file will be called ''Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe''
    * What is the site / url you use for the download ?

  • Internet Explorer cannot download Firefox/Support/2.6.8.exe

    IE8 cannot download Firefox file. It does not give me the Run/Download option, it just attempts to open it initially and stops before it gets to this screen. (It also does the same thing for MSN Explorer when I tried that instead and won't save any of my IE settings, Windows problem not Firefox)
    I think that I need to change a setting on the computer or on Internet Explorer in order to download anything. It's not a case of where to download from.

    I see you have just updated your original question, it is better to reply to an answer rather than update the original question, it makes it easier to see the updates.
    Since the problem is with IE, you would be better off asking in a forum that specializes in Microsoft products. You can try asking in the Internet Explorer forum at [http://eileenslounge.com/ Eileen's Lounge].

  • HT5701 Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4?

    Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • I cannot download firefox. I own the puter. I am the administrator. I never gave it a password. It will not let me run as administrator or as my name. pls help.)

    I cannot download firefox. I own the puter. I am the adminis-trator. I never gave it a password. It will not let me run as administrator or as my name. pls help. The "run as pop-up box says: You may not nave the necessary permissions to use all the features of the program you are about to run. You may run this program as a different user or continue to run the program as the current user. Un-filled circle:Current User (HpDV6)Annie Erker. Filled-in circle:Run this program as the following user: User Name(prepopulated):Administrator. Password; OK; cancel

    Sounds like then maybe a "friend" got hold of your phone and set a SIM card password.  Not much you can do if that is the case if you do not know the password except go to your carrier and request a new SIM card.

    I am trying to install CS5 and I am having trouble, it seems to be hanging with 1 second remaining, what should I do next?

    Which Adobe software are you trying to install?  What operating system are you using?  Did you receive any error messages?  You can also try running the Adobe Support Advisor at http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/ to automatically review your installation logs and attempt to identify your difficulties.

  • Firefox download freezes with 1 second remaining

    tried several times to download 6.0.2, download freezes with 1 sec remaining.

    You can try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I cannot download Firefox 4 because it says it is incompatible with my operating system, although supposedly it is compatible with OS X 10.5

    I would like to download Firefox 4. I get an error message during download saying it is incompatible with my operating system and that it needs OS X 10.5 or 10.6 but I AM using 10.5.8, so what might be the problem?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. 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
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
