Firefox 4 for MAC would not upgrade-says I don't have permissions. Now I don't have Firefox on my MAC

I was asked to download the latest version of Firefox. I did so and when I went to install it, I got the error message that implied I didn't have authorization to run some of the features. The upgrade stopped and now Firefox will not run because it says it is locked. I am running Firefox on the PC side of my MAC to ask for the fix. (I'm running Parallels.) I have one of the original Intel MAC laptops. Please give me the link to an older version so I can restore Firefox.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

i downloaded quick time but it wont work! every time i click on my itunes to open it comes up as "error -2096 quick time failed to initialize"
That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

My Mac is not upgrading to OS X 10.6.

My Mac is not upgrading to OS X 10.6.
Software update says there are no new updates...
I would like to updtate to 10.6 to upgrade after to Lion. Any hints?

You need to buy OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Software Update only updates within the operating system level that you've bought. It's still available from the Apple online store in the US at http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA

Firefox for Android will not play mp3

Hi! Why does Firefox for Android will not play mp3? For example the tracks on this page do not play http://audiobook-online.com/?page_id=33 . Firefox for windows plays mp3.
Alexander

Hello,
I've just tested and the mp3s on that page work fine for me. When I first visited the site I see a prompt at the top of the screen: "This page contains plugin content. Would you like to enable plugins".
I clicked Activate and the audio played fine.
If the pop-up doesn't appear then you can try enabling plugins across all pages. See here:
[[How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?|Play Flash Content Without Tapping]]
But be aware that there are security implications with this option. It is safer to keep flash as tap-to-play. There is more information on this in the article.
I hope that helps.

Your post somehow found its way to a little-viewed forum for an obsolete Apple productivity program. I have asked the Hosts to move you to a more active and appropriate forum for your product.

I inadvertently installed the mountain Lion Safari over my existing copy not realising that it would not work with OS 10.7.5 and now I am unable to use it .

It should work, but it's an unmitigated mess. Simplest is to boot into recovery mode and reinstall the OS.

Firefox 4.0 would not run on mac os x, can't get back to 3.6.1

I got a message that 4.0 was available for downloading. I downloaded 4.0 and installed it in apps. when clicked firefox the error message advised me that 4.0 would not run on mac os x.

There's also an outside group that is maintaining a version of Firefox 4 that works on PPC and 10.4. You can get it here: [http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/]

I had to remove and reistall Firefox after it would not open. When I try to install Windows asks for a password for me to download? How do I get around this?

I downloaded Axis from Yahoo. The next day Firefox would not open at all. I removed and tried to reinstall. Now whenever I try to reinstall Firefox, windows asks me to enter a password before I can install. How do I get around this?

Yes, sometimes the problem can happen before the window is able to show up.
As for the administrator password I'll double check if that's normal or also a symptom, but helping you with the password is not our area of expertise, you'd need to get support from Microsoft. Do you know if your account is admin or limited? You can try putting your credentials in.

I have a mac os 10.4.11 and the new version of firefox (4) which is 'not compatable with my operating system' what can I do? I have tried to redownload firefox 3 to no avail.

I was running firefox 3. ? with little difficulty. the new 4.0 upgrade came out and I hit the button to update only to find that I was unable to use it. I had to search my archives, to find firefox 2 which allowed me to find a browser that I could use: Opera. It works well but I can't use netflix watch instantly etc... HOw can this be remedied.

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com
