Download Firefox for Mac fails - no file downloaded.
I try to download Firefox for mac (OSX 10.7.5), and it looks like it is being downloaded (on Safari) but there is no file in the download folder, and no invitation to drag the icon to the applications window. Checked desktop, applications, and documents folder. It just isn't there.
Hello pentemeyer, this is Safari issue ! not firefox. see if you can find something useful in the next link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ph4982
thank you

Downloading Firefox for Mac 10.6.7 with 32 bit build
Would like to download a version of Firefox 4 for Mac using 32 bit build
Is the part available or how do I resolve the matter?
What part? There are no separate 32 and 64 bit versions of OS X. The only hold up would be whether or not your Mac can boot 64 bit at all. And no Macbook will boot 64 bit. Only the Macbook Pro has that capability.
I'm assuming your current version of Windows Vista is 64 bit, so you're allowed only a 64 bit upgrade disk? That would mean you're upgrading a machine specific version of Vista, such as a copy that came with a Dell, Sony, or whatever other PC.
You can't use such a disk in Boot Camp anyway since such manufacturer supplied versions of Windows are tailored to that hardware. What you need is either a full version copy, or upgrade copy of the dual retail version of Windows 7. Dual retail copies come with both 32 and 64 bit versions or Win 7 in the same box.
I have two Win 7 licenses. On my Mac Pro, I installed the 64 bit version since it is capable of booting 64 bit. But on the older iMac, we had to install the 32 bit Win 7 since the iMac does not have a 64 bit EFI. -
I have Mac OS 10.4.11. My Mac Laptop Pro has a new hard drive and has been completely refurbished by Apple. However ever since, I have not been able to obtain the correct Firefox. Prior to the replacement of my hardrive, I had Firefox and used it for many years. Not being able to download the correct Firefox is frustrating. Firefox 4 will NOT work on Mac OS 10.4.11. But every time I click on a download of 3.5 or 3.6 the download turns out to be Firefox 4. I cannot use Firefox 4, do not want Firefox 4 but it keeps trying to plant itself on my computer even though it will NOT work on my computer. YIKES!!!!
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 -
There really are no no more details. The only version of Firefox that I can find that is available for downloading is not compatible with MAX OS X 10.4.11
This means I am really in trouble. I sent the version I was using to the trash because I was having so many troubles with it not connecting to various sites.
Where can I find a Firefox version that I can download?You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

How do I download firefox for Mac 10.4.11? I have tried to download 3.6 and it won't download.
My iMac uses powermac chip.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.11 "Intel," TenFourFox doesn't help with that. Whenever I load Firefox it tells me to upgrade to 12.0 for security reasons. 12.0 is most definitely not compatible with the version of OS X on my MacBook Pro. Then when I try to register for the forums on this site to address these issue (which they recommend to do on here), I am told I can't sign up because I am running an old version of Firefox. Could that possibly be more annoying considering the reason I'm trying to register in the first place? Anyways, do you have any recommendations or does Forefox just not concern themselves with the affairs of people who can't afford to buy new computers?

Where is the 'firefox for mac' download button?
Hi,
I've read the mozilla article on downloading firefox for mac, and it shows a download firefox for mac button. As suggested I went to http://mozilla.org/firefox , but there is no such button there, nor was there any indication that the promised 'detecting the right firefox version for your computer' took place. Do I just go ahead with the install or do I need to look elsewhere on the mozilla site for that firefox for mac button?
Mozilla Firefox please update your 'firefox for mac' article!
Thanks in advance to anyone able to advise me.That page will suggest to you automatically download the last version or you can download from here:

After being hassled just about to death, I downloaded the new Firefox for Macs (3.6.13). Now I cannot download anything. Not a thing. The help files suggested resetting the download folder (didn't work), clearing the download menu (didn't work as there was nothing to clear)

How do I download a previous version of firefox for mac osx 10.5.8 (leopard)?
How do I download a previous version of firefox for mac osx 10.5.8 (leopard)?
Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher
*System Requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 4] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 5] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 6] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 7] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 8]
'''''The good news''''' is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. '''''The bad news''''' is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

*Also see --> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
You can try the third-party product '''''TenFourFox''''' that supports PPC Macs. Firefox 8 version of '''''TenFourFox''''' is available. The product is based on Firefox released versions. All support is provided by the developer, not by this site:

What is the latest version and updates available of Firefox for Mac system 10.3.9? Can you provide a link of this for downloading. I am currently using Firefox 2.0.0.20 but need to upgrade to use Bell.net email.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last version that works on OS X 10.3.9
You may want to consider using another browser if 2.0.0.20 does not work for your email. You could try using Safari for your email. If that does not work or prefer an alternative, a couple of options are [http://www.icab.de/dl.php iCab 4.8] or [http://www.opera.com/download/?os=mac&ver=9.64&local=y Opera 9.64] (Opera 10 does not work on OS X 10.3.9) -
I want to ask how I download Firefox for a Mac
I have just bought an Apple Mac Workbook and I don't want to use Safari. I want to use Firefox. Is there a specific website where I can go to download Firefox for a Mac?

I'm trying to download firefox for my laptop...but when I start to download when it says who the file is coming from it does not say Mozilla or Firefox or anything familiar so I want to make sure I am on the right page and downloading the right thing so I don't invite a virus onto the laptop
If apps are popping up that need an update and it is the "friend's" Apple ID, those are apps that he downloaded to your iPad.
Anyway...Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID>Tap the ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID. -
Where do Downloaded Kindle for MAC ebook files reside?
Where do Downloaded Kindle for MAC ebook files reside?
I use PDF Reader Pro, though it is not coming up in the windowsphone.com website.
there is another one called a better PDF reader: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/a-better-pdf-reader/75ccaa96-e827-486c-82d2-fa6676c24a02
and I also use File Hub: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/file-hub/eb83936a-6e24-4729-ba17-2100870ec17b
but just like AH said above, you can tap+hold/delete and find the files if they are there.
with the PDF Reader Pro: once I download and view a file, it will always show in that reader until I delete it.
when I download and open a pdf, it gives me the option to open it with a list of the products that I have installed that can view them. -
I recently purchased Elements 13 for Mac-OS and cannot download N-OS and cannot download NEF-RAW files taken on my Nikon D5500. The model is not listed among those supported by Elements, but the D5300 is, which is nearly identical. Is there any quick fix?
What is N-OS?
For the camera raw problem, every new camera has its own raw format and ACR must be updated to include it. That hasn't happened yet for the D5500, so you'll just have to use the Nikon software till Adobe gets the info and releases an updated version of ACR. It's not unusual to be in your situation if you buy a camera model that's only been out a month. You just have to wait a bit. -

Re: Quicken 2007; Mac OS 10.5
Problem: can’t import or download Qif format files into quicken from bofa or Chase. Mac can’t recognize; how do I set preferences in Firefox (or Safari).
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=desktop&category=d1&search=Firefox+for+Mac+preferences+shows+.qif+file+format+for+quicken+as+%22quicktime+image+format%22-wrong+application+and+won%27t+let+me+select+anything+else&showform=1
Hello,
I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.
I'm now working on my son's MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2gb Memory; 2 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
I still have a problem in Firefox Preferences trying to download .qif files. BofA Mortgage accounts only allow downloading of .qif files. My .qfx download works fine, but the error message is as follows:
The error message is that this is a corrupted file or one that Preview doesn't recognize.
and it is still a problem when trying to download Quicken .qif format files for our B of A mortgage.
The preferences for Firefox under File Helpers won't let me name the extension I want; instead, it CONFUSES .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) with .qtif (Quicktime Image Format) for Mac.
Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:
thanks for any help.
Val in SeattleWell, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.
