You can also check the following:
* Your modem and/or router are both on and are not indicating errors. The problem may be with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Contact your ISP for more information.
* If you are using a wireless connection, that you are using the correct access point.
* Your Domain Name System (DNS) server translates web addresses (URLs) into IP addresses and is usually provided by your ISP. If the DNS server is overloaded, you may be unable to view some or all websites. For example, if http://74.125.53.99 or http://74.125.159.105 work but http://www.google.com doesn't, you may have a DNS problem. You can use an alternative service such as OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/) or Google Public DNS (http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/).
* Whether your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) is blocking connections to the Internet. For instructions on how to configure some programs, see the Firewalls article (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firewalls).
Check and tell if its working.

    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.

  • 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].

  • 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

  • I cannot download firefox without a pop up saying the file is harmful

    whn I try to download firefox as my browser, I get a popup that says the file will harm my computer

    Look on the Seagate for a file/folder named Backups.backupdb.  You can download and use Find Any File to search for it as FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't.  If you find such a file/folder delete it and try transferring again.

  • 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.
