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

Mac Firefox has a problem with dropdown menus over a flash

I have notice a problem over the last couple of months when
using drop down menus from P7, and Quckmenu. The drop down menus
appears to clip any flash movies below them when using transparent
settings in css. The recent case the transparent settings where
apply as following: The wmode of the flash movie set to
transparent, no problem with flash covering the menu. #qm0 is my
sub container for the drop down. When commenting out the
transparent settings, no problem on the Mac. The Firefox browser is
2.0, and the Mac OS is OS 10, Flash Player 9. I am thinking this is
Adobe Flash player problem.
#qm0 div a
color:#000000;
padding:2px 20px 2px 5px;
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #000000;
border-top: 1px solid #000000;
background-color: #f9f9fb;
filter:alpha(opacity=90);
-moz-opacity:0.90;
-khtml-opacity: .90;
opacity: 0.90;
My temp work around is to check the http_user_agent for Mac.
If is a Mac, no transparent menus.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Whatsnew page for 3.6.17 has formatting problems with Firefox and I.E.

I just updated from 3.6.16 to 3.6.17n and the whatsnew page, displayed after Firefox restarted, has formatting problems in the lower right hand corner.
I checked it with I.E. 8 and it also shows the formatting problem.
Why wasn't this caught before the page was put into "production"?
The URL is http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6.17/whatsnew/
There is a line with the text "Release Notes » Firefox Features » Firefox Help »" that is being displayed on top of other material.
I wonder what a new Firefox user or an inexperienced user would think of this? They might think that they did something wrong or, worse, they might consider Firefox had problems and they won't use it.
This reflects badly on Firefox.
One more thing, could someone make this textarea taller and wider. It is so small as to cause problems typing and proofing the material.
The URL is https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=desktop&category=d6&search=whatsnew+page+for+3.6.17+has+formatting+problems+with+Firefox+and+I.E.&showform=1
How about upping the cols and rows values? They are currently rows="10" cols="40"

As you have a Power Mac you also have a alternative option to consider which is a third-party build from http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2011/08/601-now-available.html

Who else has a problem with parental controls enabled not being able to run Firefox on the Mac?

Who else has a problem with parental controls enabled not being able to run Firefox on the Mac? (Any solutions?) (BTW. Chrome doesn't work either)

Although FF4 is so nice I'm almost ready to ditch iGoogle!
Please fix what appears to be an RSS/iGoogle issue with FF4...
Gmail is fine, but titles dont show in most RSS feed gadgets and no stories, strangely, apart from this one:
http://www.google.com.au/ig/directory?hl=en&url=www.google.com/ig/modules/builtin_news_technology.xml
Which if you enter the last part of the url reports that
"<Content type="html">
This is a builtin module, so the UserPrefs and Content are ignored."
Any ideas?

Safari won't load web pages while firefox has no problem

Started having problems yesterday and couldn't load any web pages with Safari or get mail. I thought the internet connection was down (it had been down), but the phone gets access via the same home wireless network, and Firefox has no problem loading web pages. Even more bizzare is that the same issue is happening on the iMac and the Macbook: both cannot get mail with Mac Mail or load web pages with Safari, but can with Firefox. This problem seems to correlate with an internet outage - everything worked until the outage, but then didn't work when the internet was back up.

Oh. Another weird thing. When I restart Safari, I can actually load one page. Just the front tab that was open when Safari closed. So odd. I did disable and re-enable DNS prefetching also to no avail also.

Since updating Firefox I have problems with playing Zynga games

since updating Firefox I have problems with the Zynga games I am playing. The functions often stop working so I have to reboot the game. Also there are often a lot of items missing on my screen so I can't play at all

I have this problem, as well, since the upgrade to 4.0.1. After the upgrade, I found several 'Recovered Files' in my Trash. On taking a look, they all had to do with the Crowdstar app. Happy Aquarium, I believe, but there are several folders of them. Some of them could have to do with Zynga's FarmVille.
However, after repeated problems, I installed Chrome 10. to see if the Facebook apps. would work. They did, without problems. That tells me the folders in Trash shouldn't have anything to do with whether they operate or not but it has something to do with something Firefox has done, or not done, with this upgrade. Frankly, I'm baffled and more than a little annoyed. :/
However, thinking back to the upgrade, it happened suddenly while I was on the phone with AppleCare on another matter. It was they who suggested I needed to upgrade my browser and I did it immediately, on-the-spot. It wasn't what you would call a 'clean install' because I was on the phone but also online with AppleCare. The process went so fast, I remember there were things about the installation that didn't quite seem right and I do remember that the earlier version of Firefox was not removed prior to the upgrade. Is there any chance something could be out-of whack because of this? If so, I need to know how to save my passwords, bookmarks, profile, and any other critical info that would need to be transferred.

I have FoxIt. If Firefox has security problems, work it out for FoxIt. There are no circumstances I will accept Abode "bloatware" in my laptop or my eeePC netbook.

My computer regularly crashes, because it has limited resources. Today, it had crashed overnight because of a power outage and extremely low battery. It had nothing whatsoever to do with "security problems due to not updating Adobe PDF Reader".
I have FoxIt PDF Reader.
If Mozilla thinks Firefox has security problems, fix it. Make Firefox work better with FoxIt. But don't tell me I need Adobe "bloatware" in my limited resources older laptop or my EeePC netbook. There are no circumstances I will accept Adobe products in a computer in my control.

I posted above as '''Anonymous''' because I cannot Login. This site reports ConnieD is an invalid user name.
I don't have an answer: If I delete Adobe Flash in Add/Remove Programs in Vista, Firefox browser will still function minus Adobe Flash?
I rely on my computer for communication, not for "entertainment" or intrusive advertising.
I have moved my bookmarks off Firefox.
If I don't have an answer, I will '''delete Firefox''' to get rid of Adobe Flash and Adobe Flash security problem's "notices".
Firefox isn't different enough from other browsers to have to keep Adobe Flash. I think I only dislike "pop-ups" more than Adobe bloat, Adobe intrusiveness into privacy, and Adobe Flash bandwidth hogs and "refreshes".

I have been a loyal customer for years and have a hot spot because internet options are very limited in our rural area. I have stayed with 10G since the beginning. Most months I don't use the 10G. Verizon has no problem with me paying for Data I don't

I have been a loyal customer for years and have a hot spot because internet options are very limited in our rural area. I have stayed with 10G since the beginning. Most months I don't use the 10G. Verizon has no problem with me paying for Data I don't use. This month my daughter comes home from College and she accidentally uses 24G.....14 over get blind sided with $140.00 in overages. I called Verizon today......stopped in to the store today......My neighbor told me they waved charges for her one time. Lots of charges.....But I'm am getting no help. Not even an offer of a payment plan to help me out. I went back just 6 months and I have over paid for 19G.....Seems like they would like to help out their loyal customers!!!! Does anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with them? We are not wealthy....or I would just pay this and walk away......

There is a big misconception in what customers believe a cell carrier is obligated to do.
You pay a set price to use up to that amount of xx data. It makes no difference if you use it to the paid limit or way under. Its like peace of mind when you don't have to worry about a data counter.
Your daughter used the data, your plan is quite clear of what overage charges are. Why should or would Verizon wireless just forgive the charges because you are a customer? Your daughter used the data, get the money from her. That is the responsible thing to do.
There is no "I have been a loyal customer so please remove the $120, or $250, or $2,000.00 since I did not mean to use it"
Your electric company, or gas company or any other company does not remove valid charges. Why should Verizon wireless?
Just pay the invoice and don't think you are being mistreated because Verizon is a business and not a charity.
Good Luck

Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi. Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact. WiFi signal strong on both devices. What gives?

Is the router to small?
Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

TS1702 I had this Scrabble on my iPad2 and began to have connection problems, it would lock in the "connecting" position. This is not the first time Scrabble has had problems with interface. Typically customers delete the Ap then download it again to rein

I have contacted EA about this and can find no help. I had this Scrabble on my iPad2 and began to have connection problems, it would lock in the "connecting" position. This is not the first time Scrabble has had problems with interface. Typically customers delete the Ap then download it again to reinstall it. During the process you sign in and approve the purchase KNOWING that another window will open saying that you have previously purchased it and that there is no charge. So what happened this time? It will not connect and all of my saved and current games are wiped out. I want my money back, this game interface is pretty junk and operates like some ancient DOS program,,bug,bug,buggy. I want my money back.

Go here:

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago. I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2). I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on. Very annoying. Suggestions please?

What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band? Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on.
