Firefox 13.01 file corrupt from firefox site

Hi, I am trying to update Firefox on my laptop as when I log on to the i-net I am getting messages saying that the mozilla system did not update.
I have tried 3 times this afternoon to download firefox 13.01 from the Moz FF site, but each time I have got the message that the file is corrupt. Can anyone help please? Thanks.

If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml (this will clear the update history).

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 13.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Firefox won't download pdfs from some sites, e.g. Wells, but others too. Bank said use IE - that works. Help

Only seems to happen on financial sites. I use xp sp3 on lenovo thinkpad t61.
E.g., to download a pdf statment from Wells, I open the statment and then try to save it, but no option to save it. Called bank, they say to use Internet Explorer - that works. With IE I can right click on the file and then use "Save as" or I can open the file and "Save a copy". Can't do eaither of these w Firefox 19.0.2. I don't think that this used to be a problem. This is not a problem with all pdf files from all sites.

Sorry you are having problems with Firefox.
===CARE this is a public forum ===
Do not post sensitive or confidential information.
Firefox has a new built in pdf viewer, and whilst this has been released it is still undergoing development, with bug fixes due and further features likely to be added.
I do not notice any named pdf reading plugin in your system details, but you may need to consider using a third party pdf reader for now:
*When you open the pdf s do you see any Firefox warning information bar at the top edge of the document, or any warning with in the pdf itself about incompatibility and using another viewer ? see also
**[[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]]
**[[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]
There is a possibility sites or pdfs may be faulty, and that advice given may not be the best. Please give links to any faqs etc publicly posted by banks relating to pdf use, and the web address of the banks are having problems with.
One of the problems with the Firefox viewer is fixed in the firefox Beta channel and possibly in an add-on you could consider trying those.
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/#beta/beta-desktop if you do upgrade note there is no need to uninstall Firefox, and you should not use any option that removes personal information, or you will destroy bookmarks and passwords.

Firefox 3.6 "File Corrupt" Error being produced

I just built a new system, loaded all files and installed all need software, but one...Firefox. Came to the site, clicked to download the 3.6 version and I got a message saying "File Corrupt."
I cannot install Firefox or even start the download of the installer for some reason. Then tried to disable my firewall, and still continued. I love firefox and would like to be able to continue use with this program...

I am running Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and AVG 2011 Internet Security system.
I never had this problem before and have built plenty of new systems. Just a freak incident? Possibly.
Any help would be appreciated, as I have run out of ideas.

How do I best backup preference settings within Firefox ADD-ONs? RECOVERING from FireFOX RESET

''added this question to this - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/948264 - question thread - locking''
Hello:
what is ffox support suggested procedure to backup your preference settings set in each of the ADD-ONs.
I currently have over 50 add-ons and the list seems to be growing each month.
My add-on component is becoming a major component of my Firefox solution.
Great in functionality, dangerous for recovering from the Firefox RESET feature.
I have searched help online and found nothing of value to provide clear steps of what one must to do.
Thankyou

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
Try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
If you rename the file(s) then you can undo the action or inspect the files with an editor like Notepad.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Clicking on Microsoft Update opened Firefox, but couldn't run from Firefox; when I closed Firefox I lost all my tabs and couldn't restore anything but the Microsoft page; how can I restore the tabs from an earlier session?

Hi Diovizor,
Make sure that you do not use [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.
Also please make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: Use custome settings for history. Uncheck "Always use permanent Private Browsing mode"
Hope that helps!

Hi Joe, some other users have reported that the Real Downloader is not working in Firefox 22. If you have updated it and it still doesn't work, you might consider using a different downloader. I don't have any personal recommendations on that, but you can check out the reviews on the add-ons site:

Problems unzipping files downloaded from Firefox using Windows built-in extractor tool

Hi,
I am running Firefox v26 on a Windows 7 (64-bit) PC. I work for a library that is able to reproduce digital audio books that we can download from the Library of Congress's National Library Service (NLS) for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. I use Firefox to download a lot of zipped audio books for my job. The file formats found in one book's zipped folder often include the following file types: .3gp (they're like a more compressed MP3 audio file), .mp3, .ncx, .opf, .pncx, .ppf, .smil, .md5, .dtd, .ent, and .ao.
If I use Windows' built-in extraction tool to unzip an audio book I have downloaded via Firefox the extraction process ends prematurely and acts as if it was successful, but in reality some files are were never extracted. For example, I downloaded a zipped audio book that contained 21 files and weighed in at 87.6MB. The built-in Windows extraction tool only unzipped 2 files weighing in at 30.3MB.
I have downloaded this same zipped audio book using Google's Chrome v31 and IE 11. Both downloads unzipped successfully using Windows' extractor. To make things even more bizarre, I *was* able to successfully unzip my audio book that I downloaded using Firefox using a 3rd party extraction tool called Extract Now. Because I tend to use this 3rd party program to extract my audio files I don't know at which version of Firefox this problem started. All I know if that this hasn't always been the case.
Please help.
Thanks,
-Dan M.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps with extracting files.

FF28.0 (de): Though menu option "Offline" is checked, Firefox still waits for responses from online sites

I have own webpages and modify them locally on my notebook.
After having made changes, *before* uploading them to my webhost company, I use to have a look on them "locally".
To manage this, I check menu option : Datei -> Offline arbeiten (German version, in "en" probably File-> Offline)
This worked pretty fine for years, up to and including FF 27.0.1.
Now with FF28.0, though "Offline" is checked/activated, FireFox still waits for online answers and does NOT display my changed sites (residing on the hard disk).
What happened? Must I now use IE to test my website changes locally?

Using Work Offline would only work for web pages that you have visited and that are in the disk cache. 
You can't use this to display web pages that are modified locally for testing. 
To do that properly you would have to access them via a local server that is running on your computer.

Firefox don't play video from diferent sites like hulu, cnet, cbs, abc, etc. Only play the advertising. WHY?

I try this why chrome and IE and work perfect, but whit Firefox only play the advertising.
I try restore point at my computer. Don't work.
I try reinstalling Firefox. Don't work.
That is my only problem. For the rest Firefox work just find.

I have to correct something. With type="video/quicktime", Safari 7.0.1 does play the QuickTime VR Panorama, so it's effective for both QuickTime videos and panoramas. But, what I wrote about Firefox and Chrome hasn't changed.
I did get the QuickTIme with a "?" symbol when I tried to play it with Safari 7.0.1, before submitting the question; but maybe that was a side effect of an earlier attempt.

Firefox refuses to play videos from any site. I.E and Google chrome plays them just fine. Any idea why this is happening??

I get a message saying there is an error and to try again later. Trying later doesn't seem to have helped. The videos in question are normal "news", youtube, etc. nothing exotic. again, my other browsers seem unaffected.

This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

Why is Firefox continually redirecting me away from the site I'm looking for?

When I go to a site, I get redirected to an advertising site. When I backspace twice I get returned to the Google search page and then I can go directly to the site I'm punching in. But why am I getting redirected all the time?

If "Sweet" IM is "riding" in on Firefox, how is it removed from Firefox? I have removed it from my laptop via Windows Controls, but it continues to display on FB.

I recently downloaded the Sweet IM emoticon app to augment my Yahoo Messenger app. I later removed it from my list of Windows pgms using the Control Panel, remove pgms feature, and I deleted all the Sweet IM cookies. All that appears to have worked. But the Sweet IC toolbar continues to appear embedded in the body of my FB page at the top just above where new statuses are entered. It also continues to appear in all my chat windows. Any ideas on how I can get rid of these displays? They are now unnecessary page clutter. Thank you.

On Windows Vista and Windows 7, profile folders are in this location, by default:
C:\Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>.
The AppData folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders".
On Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7, you can also use this path to find the profile folder, even when it is hidden:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>
%APPDATA% is a variable represents the C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>Application Data folder on Windows 2000/XP and the C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming folder on Windows vista and Windows 7. Image:Appdata.png
To find a profile folder in the default location on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows 7:
Press "Windows key Image:Windows_Key.png + R" to open the Run box
(or, you can click "Start → Run..." on Windows 2000/XP)
In the Run box, type in %APPDATA%
Click OK. A Windows Explorer window will appear.
In this window, choose Mozilla → Firefox → Profiles.
Each folder in the "Profiles" folder (e.g., "xxxxxxxx.default") is a profile on your computer.

How can I download Firefox 4.o to upgrade from Firefox 3.6.16, if after following all instructions the 2-minute download process is completed, but the download window is empty, and Version 4.0 is not installed?

A pop-up box in the lower right corner of the screen says the download is complete. But a search of the entire hard drive does not locate the files. I've tried restarting Firefox, restarting Windows---and even shutting down and restarting the computer---after each attempt at downloading, with no different results. I've also tried disabling other programs like V-Tuner and Eudora before downloading. I have no trouble downloading other files, including my original installation of Firefox plus the upgrades. My current version of Firefox (3.6.16) is still working just fine; I tried to upgrade only because 4.0 was announced on-screen today, and I thought I might as well have the latest thing. My operating system is Windows 2000, which I see listed as compatible.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
