Firefox 4 downloads, extracts files, but does not install - menu pops up to close Firefox, although this was done

Firefox 4 downloads successfully;when I press the button to let it run, the files are all successfully extracted, but when the installation menu pops up an interim bar specifies "checking existing installation" - this is then followed by a pop up menu instructing to close Firefox. The problem is that Firefox has already been closed and I cannot get passed the command menu to close Firefox in order for the installation to commence and complete.

The next step I would recommend is to do some troubleshooting(Safe Mode,Problematic Extensions etc) -
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20plugins
Just to make sure you can get started in Firefox Safe Mode - Hold the Shift key down as you double click on the Firefox icon, ignore the page that opens and Continue. Firefox isn't the only thing that has been updated and new conflicts and culprits can emerge.
I would also recommend a search of your computer to make sure no residue of "Conduit" remains.

    Backup your device in iTunes first.  After backup disconnect the device.  On the device for to Setting > General > Update and launch the update there.  Make sue you have it plugged into some power.  iTunes seems to be having some issues with the update.  I have update two iPhones and two iPads this way.
    Good luck!!

  • Windows 10 downloads but does not install...

    windows 10 downloads but does not install on my  Stream 13-c010nr (OS 8.1). Says I need 5 GB more before it can install. Should I factory reset? Any suggestions?

    If you can run the recovery, it should free up enough space although in this thread, it did not.  It might also help to download the Windows 10 ISO file and run it from a USB.  You do not have to run any updates to Windows 8.1 if you do that, you can upgrade right after restoring to the factory configuration.

  • I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5.  When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different.  Why doesn't it appear edited?

    I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5.  When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different.  Why doesn't it appear edited?

    People who have Photoshop, but don't have Lightroom, need ACR so that they can use Raw files. Without ACR they could do nothing with those (they may also like having ACR so that they can work on other kinds of image using the same kinds of adjustments and techniques, as are used with Raw files).
    People who have Lightroom, can get access to Raw files regardless whether ACR is present or not. They can use Lightroom on other kinds of image also, using the same methods. LR can pass images directly into Photoshop without passing via ACR (or else does so transparently, which amounts to substantially the same thing).
    ACR does not, strictly speaking, even need to be installed for this external editing to happen. In fact, not even PS needs to be - since a different image editor can be used instead, while still retaining the Adobe Raw conversion etc.
    Lightroom "subcontracts out" specialised external tasks, in this workflow, but is still your "main contractor": the image is otherwise located, viewed, managed, adjusted/presented and output entirely using LR.
    So IMO we can divide image processing into:
    operations that involve pixels and layers and layer masks and adjustment layers etc (of the kind done inside Photoshop)
    operations that involve parametric edits (of the kind done in ACR where you are not using a Lightroom based workflow; otherwise, done inside Lightroom)
    When PS is called in, that's because those tasks are impossible or unsuitable to do in Lightroom. But those tasks can't be done in ACR either - by definition, since LR and ACR have exactly the same image processing "feature set".
    Lightroom is irrelevant to the Bridge + ACR + PS workflow. This workflow requires both your PS and your ACR to be current enough, to support your Raw format etc.
    ACR and Bridge are irrelevant to the LR + (image editor) workflow. It is in this case, only LR which needs to be current enough to support your Raw format etc.

    Thank you for your swift reply. I don't know that this has helped me, as I've reached my level of tolerance for fooling with this annoying little problem - for today anyway. It has been going on since I "up" graded to Firefox 4. My wife is running 3.6.x on her laptop with none of this foolishness. As BLASPHEMOUS as it may sound, I've gone back to IE for the time being even though I don't like it 1000th as much as I do Firefox.
    Not just to rant here, I would say that I found a way to put some buttons on the right side of the toolbar that immediately gave me permission to "back, forward, and reload", but upon closing the browser and going out for dinner with the wife, I find on return that not only are those buttons NOT still on the toolbar, but I can't find them anymore. I think they were in "add-ons" found under I believe Add-On Manager.
    I did also manage to achieve back/forward functionality running Firefox in SAFE mode, but this meant no No-Script, among other things, and I've grown too fond of that particular little script to give it up.
    I've rebooted, restored, and reinstalled, can't get this formerly completely reliable program to work like it always has. Before looking around on here, I was beginning to think it was my PC.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, cor-el. I'm going to see if I can get on live chat on Monday.

  • Firefox 5.01 downloads, but does not install

    I have downloaded this update to Firefox 5 because the browser had been running increasingly slowly. Until a couple of weeks ago (when I installed Firefox), I used IE9 for a 64-bit processor. I found Firefox a great improvement EXCEPT when it comes to deleting temporary files. IE has a mechanism for removing all unnecessary cookies, but retaining those of my favourite sites. This does not seem to be an option with Firefox. I was hoping it might have been addressed in the update, because I suspect temporary internet files (which I am unwilling to remove for the reasons given above) are slowing down Firefox. BUT, although I have downloaded it, and expected Firefox 5.01 to proceed to an automatic installation, it didn't. What do I do?

  • Server 3 downloaded but does not install. HTTPS proxy error

    Hi all,
    Thanks for looking into my problem.
    I had a running OSX Mountain Lion with working OSX server 2.2.
    I upgraded to Mavericks (works fine) and server app 2.2 showed does not work. That is normal.
    I purchased the new server 3 app (i.e. OSX server for Mavericks) and it downloaded fine.
    But when I click the server app icon and the dialogue for installation starts it does not continue to install.
    The first question in continue, the server app then shows the license, after acceptance it starts a dialogue
    "To configure OSX server on this Mac an administrator account is required. Please enter your password"
    Upon entering the correct username and password a cryptic message appears:
    "An error occurred while communicating with the secure Web-Proxy-Server. (HTTPS)"
    (Or something like that: this was translated from German dialogues)
    I cannot find any feedback what this is about. The server 3 app ends then and the server software does not install or configure the OSX server to get it operational again.
    My Question:
    What is wrong or am I doing wrong?
    How can I fix this?
    Some more data:
    The original OSX server installation was an open domain server.
    Upon checking the DNS name as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5300, the scutil --get HostName resolves the correct machine name (FQDN) but the host command does not resolve the correct DNS entry.
    I am really stuck on this.
    Can anybody please help?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks already

    Hi all,
    I read that one should disable the SSL on a OSX server with Open Domain, prior to installing server 3. To double check: where is that configuration option hidden? How can I do this after upgrading the OSX client to Mavericks?
    Seems I have not done that prior to upgrading OSX from mountain lion to mavericks. Now server 2.2 is disabled and I cannot access the server and installing server 3 app does not work.
    Some details:
    As described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5300

    Disable SSL
    If you have SSL enabled, disable it before upgrading.

  • "Download Linked File As" Does Not Work

    As others have noted, although Safari is an excellent and fast browser, there is one feature that is quite annoying, namely that all filed download by default to a single folder selected in preferences. Internet Explorer (and Firefox, I believe) by default allows the user to save to any folder selected at the time. In each thread I've read noting this problem, someone answers that the solution in Safari is to right click on the link and select "Download Linked File As" then direct the browser to the folder. The problem is that this does not work as Safari downloads only the link (or something else) but not the linked file. For example, if the linked file is a PDF, under "file type" PDF does not appear, only "All Files" and once the download is complete you have an entry in the desired folder but not the file itself. (This is true even if you append the proper suffix to the file name; no actual file.) Is there a solution here or does it really take several steps to get a downloaded file into the folder of choice?

    I just checked a pdf and "Download linked file as" does give me option to save where I want for pdf, jpg files and others.

  • Windows 8.1 ..Firefox download setup file locks up on "Installing" window

    When the Firefox downloaded setup file is run (Firefox Setup Stub 31.0.exe) , 1st thing appearing is a window saying "Firefox Setup...Your about to enjoy..." It has a green moving downloading bar that continues to run forever without any result. I let it run for an hour without any change to the window. On the bottom of the window it says "One moment, Firefox will launch as soon as the install is complete" To the right of that, it has a CANCEL button. WHAT IS WRONG...HOW CAN I GET THIS TO INSTALL?

    Thank you very much, Tyler...IT WORKED!!!!! I now have Firefox again.
    I have to say though, right before I tried your suggestion, I did an UPDATE/RESTART. It took a long time for it to complete, so it must have loaded more Windows updates and maybe that was the problem.. but maybe not, too.
    Anyway....THANK YOU!!!!!

  • Firefox is already actif but does not respond. and even after changing the default properties the problem comes back (Read-only)

    everytime I close Firefox, it select the option "Read-only".
    I stop the proces via Task management and then I can start Firefox again. I close it and the "Red-only" option is back again.

    Do you get this error only after closing and restarting Firefox or always?
    In case of the latter:
    Do you still have a default profile and is the profile as you see in the profiles.ini file marked as "Default=1" still present?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Try to delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new profiles.ini file and a new default profile.

  • Firefox is already actif but does not respond

    this is the message I receive after a visit to the internet and after firefox was closed.
