Downloaded and installed firefox on windows XP, firefox wont start

downloaded and installed firefox on windows XP, click on firefox icon and nothing happens!

Also to be sure you need at least Windows XP Service Pack 2 if not 3 (XP3) as Firefox since version 13.0 will not work on XP1 or older.

  • After downloading and installing 3.6.11 latest Firefox version, cannot conect to the web. Found old 3.0 version, re-install, back on the internet. What was wrong?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • Even when I download and install the new version of firefox, I get the messsage that I don't have the new version.

    how do I know if I have the new version installed?

    Hi janeginsburg,
    Looking at your system details, you are running the latest version. You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. That page is no longer being maintained by Google.
    You should try changing your home page to:
    about:home
    If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
    Hopefully this helps

  • Can't download and install Acrobat on Windows Vista

    Hey there,
    I hope that someone could help me. I bought a subscription for Adobe Acrobat yesterday evening. Now I tried to download the software from this page: https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat. And it failed - saying that "i don't have the right language or platform / stage" - . But I checked the standards on my computer before. I got Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (they say i need minimum Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3). Central processing unit, Hard Disc and RAM are also ok.
    So - I really don't know what to do right now - sitting here since hours trying to make it work.
    Thanks for your help,
    Monika

    Thanks a lot for your answer. But: What the fxxxxx - that is really one of the worst offer of a service I've ever seen. So I have to check if I could update or "downgrade" my Computer System. Otherwise I have to cancel my order.
    Wish you a good Sunday.

    If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder.

    My current version of Chrome is having problems, too! It's so annoying. Anyone have any suggestions now? I basically can't view or download any PDFs because of this.
    Does anyone else think this is a problem not only with Adobe? I would think Apple would have something to do with this? Wouldn't they get some idea from the developer versions that no browser can open PDFs while running Lion!? Pretty bad customer service on the part of a company that prides itself on being VERY customer-friendly. Wouldn't you say?

  • After downloading and installing a security update an hour ago, firefox will not start

    After going online this morning, using my firefox browser, a box came up saying a security update was available and should be downloaded and installed. This was done with no apparent problem. At the end of the update a note came up saying the update would come into operation after restarting my computer. This I did. The computer started normally, but after clicking on the firefox icon the program did not start. My computer is using Windows XP Service Pack 3.

    i am out of space on my C drive causing me to run disk cleanup several times a day and then can only gain right at 200MB. I need to download and install a fresh copy to my D drive but i am not given an option on where to download or install to. How do I download and install Firefox to drive D?

    You need both SP1 and SP2 to be able to run Firefox. <br />
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/system-requirements/ <br />
    And getting rid of SP3 probably isn't wise from a security standpoint.
    Have you looked through your "data" to see what '''''can''''' be moved over to the D:/ drive? Also you should consider moving the Windows TEMP files over to the D:/ drive.
    Also, with WinXP it is a good idea having at least 15% of each logical drive "free" so that the Defrag service can be run; TEMP files cause the most fragmentation on the drive.
