Everytime I try to download Firefox it stops at 99% and 1 sec remaining. It never completes even though I've tried it many times. Why?

I can't download Firefox because it never completes the download. It ends at 99% complete with 1 sec remaining and never completes.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • Everytime I try to download quicktime dep shuts down IE and will not allow installation. Tried disabling dep for quicktime and it would not allow

    Mail is crashing while processing junk. Try this:
    1. Make sure Mail is not running.
    2. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Mail/.
    3. Locate LSMMap2 and move it to the Trash. If you see an LSMMap file there, move it to the Trash too.
    4. Locate MessageRules.plist and move it to the Desktop. If there is a file called MessageRules.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too. You may also see MessageSorting.plist files there; this is where Mail 1.x stored the rules, and they are no longer used by Mail 2.0, so just move them to the Trash if you see them.
    5. Look for the account folders. The name of each account folder starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Open each of the account folders, locate the Junk.mbox folders and move these to the Trash. Note: As a result of doing this, all mail automatically marked as junk by Mail will be lost. If there is a chance that you have legit messages there and you want to preserve them, move them to another mailbox in Mail first -- you may prevent Mail from crashing by shutting down your Internet connection first.
    6. Go to HOME/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate any Junk.mbox folders there (their name may include the account name in parenthesis), and move them to the Trash. Pay attention to any legit messages that could be there, as in the previous step.
    7. Launch Mail. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering again, and configure it however you wish. You may want to shut down the Internet connection before launching Mail to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled.
    If the above solves the problem and you don't have any rules you'd like to preserve or recreating them is not a daunting task, just delete the MessageRules.plist files that were moved to the Desktop and be done with it.

  • Why is it that everytime I try to download Firefox 4 my Adobe reader can't open it because it is a damaged file? Because of this I am not able to download it. Not sure I want to since I see so many other people having problems with it.

    I will start the process of downloading Firefox 4 and then get the message that my Adobe Reader can't open the file because it is damaged or sent through an e mail. I was not in my e mail when I tried to download the update. This isn't the first time that this has happened. I gave up downloading updates in the past just because I would encounter this same problem.

    When you start the download, are you chooseing Save or Run?

  • Evertime I try to download Firefox I keep getting Bearshare

    Everytime I try to download Firefox something goes wrong. The box that appears when you download and it says where the download is "from", my box never says Mozilla. In the "from" category it always states something else and when the download is done Bearshare is what I get. The page is similiar to Mozilla though. But it isn't.

  • Virus detected when I try to download firefox.

    I'm unable to download firefox. I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and IE 9. Everytime I try to download firefox to install it tell me it has detected a virus and deletes the program before I can install. I have a free AVG virus protection software. I even tried to disable this temporarily and download but I still received the same message. Please help!

    AVG should not be blocking it unless the anti virus you have may be fake. Here are some you can get for free and remove AVG to see if it helps:

  • "An error has occured" everytime I try to download it.

    Hi Guys
    I am getting "An error has occured" everytime I try to download it. Lion is sitting on main task bar. I have even done Disk Repair Permission, Rebooted couple of times and using AppleID when I purchased. Its same Mac Pro when I purchased it and I don't have any pther Mac machine. I have paid and got confirmed by e-mail for purchase. Totally frustrated. Why can't apple allow to download DMG file to install it?
    Anyone experiencing same issue? I may ask for full refund. Wasted nearly 4-5 hrs for nothing and money has been taken. Not happy at all !!!!!

    I have been facing the same problem. Downloaded Lion OSX the first time and after downloading the entire thing, it said "error has occured" which is so wierd.
    Everytime i try downloading the App it gives the same "error has Occured" message.
    Need to know why?
    I have a macbook pro - 4gb - 13' inch

  • Everytime I try to download itunes it says, Itunes Installer Interrupted?!

    I was originally having problems downloading itunes because I couldn't get Quicktime and Itunes off my computer, but I download a program called Byetunes that completely deleted itunes from my computer. Unfortunately now every time it gets finish downloading Quicktime it stops and shows this message:
    Itunes Installer Interrupted.
    The installer was interrupted before the requested operations for Itunes could be completed. Your system has not beem modified. To complete these operations at a later date, please run the installer again.
    Does anyone know what I should do to fix my problem!?

    Unfortunately I do not know what byeitunes does, but I have just seen another thread in which there was trouble installing iTunes after using byeitunes.
    As a first step when you say +Everytime I try to download itunes it says, Itunes Installer Interrupted?+
    Are you saving the installer on your PC before attempting to install iTunes. Do that if you haven't already done so.
    Then try installing itunes again and give the full text of any error message.
    Look in your Event Viewer to see if there are any error messages there around the time of the install
    To find the event viewer, right click on my computer and select manage.

  • I just got my iPhone yesterday. Everytime I try to download anything it keeps displaying "Your Apple ID has been disabled." and I do not know what to do.  I sent off my e-mail to Apple last night and I am still waiting for a response.

    I just got my iPhone 4 yesterday after having a Blackberry for 3 years.  Everytime I try to download any type of application it keeps displaying "Your Apple ID has been disabled."  Before activating my iPhone I downloaded the most recent iTunes.  I even went back today I reset my password after some minor research made the suggestion.  I sent an e-mail off to to Apple last night after their Apple tech was no help at all.  He is the one that suggested the e-mail and that he could not help me.  I am really frustrated at this point.  I am hoping that someone will be able to help me out.  I was extremely excited about getting my new iPhone 4 and now I am just over it!  Help please!!!

    You need to contact iTunes support and send an email by following the link I posted.
    Simply going there does nothing.
