Firefox is asking for an administrator password when none exists. I can't install. WHY
I am trying to install firefox. I've used explorer, chrome, opera. None of them are working. It keeps asking me for an administrator password. My account on my computer is an administrator but I don't have a password. I even went and created one and it still says bad login information. I tried to download from the stub, I tried to download from the full version. I'm about ready to give up but I really like firefox. I'm on windows 7
Download and save the full Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon.
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 26.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
You probably need that password to set up the Mozilla Maintenance Service to male it possible to install updates in the background.

i cant install the new firefox 6 on my laptop because it keeps asking for the administrator password during the installation and i dont know what is it for this laptop
I read a way on another forum to fix this problem. Right click on the setup.exe and select "Run as administrator" this should solve your problem.

I'm having a problem where Firefox keeps asking for my Amazon password, even though I tell Firefox NOT to remember this password. In Firefox options, Amazon is clearly listed as a site for which not to save passwords.
Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords. -

When I start firefox it asks for my name, password and computer name everytime
Every time I click on the icon to start Firefox, it asks for my email address and password, then asks for my computer name. I have selected Facebook as my home page but it still asks me this when I go into Firefox. It is really aggravating now, can anything be done as it never used to do this before. Has been doing it now for a few weeks. Thank you.
You need to enter both serial numbers, first the Aperture 3 upgrade number, then the Aperture 2 number.
If Aperture does not accept the numbers, see:
Troubleshooting Professional Application Serial Numbers:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2005
And if nothing helps, contact Apple with aproof of purchase, see:

I have just purchased an iphone and I am trying to get facebook on my phone. When I get the app to upload it is asking for my apple password. I put that into the phone and it gives me a message "your apple id has been disabled." Now when I log into apple i have no problem with my apple id or the password. How can I get my phone to read I have a good account with apple?
you need to contact iTunes store support for that, it's possible that they will refer you to an AppleCare Account Security Team
1. Go to expresslane.apple.com
2. select 'itunes' and then 'itunes store' on the right
3. select a topic and a subject
4. click 'continue' and then 'email'
5. fill out the form and explain your situation
6. they will respond within 24 hours usually
Good luck -
Icloud not asking for id or password when I try to sign in? Valuable travel pics disappeared???
months worth of travel pics disappeared from my ipad and iPhone! I'm unable to contact apple help as I'm in Nicaragua at the moment. When I try to sign in to icloud it does not ask for id or password, it only offers set up options??? Please help, not very iOS literate!!??
Hi appledapple1964,
After changing your Apple ID information, you may need to manually sign out and sign back in on your devices so that they may recognize the update. You may find the following article helpful:

How do you get Firefox to ask for proxy username password in a pop up window?
Previously, about a month ago a pop up message would appear when I would connect to my University's wired network proxy to ask me for my password. In Chormium Browser the following message pops up when I log in http://tinypic.com/r/i77lhi/8. A similar thing used to happen in Firefox, but doesn't anymore. I know it is not my proxy settings that are incorrect as I have double checked them and it is only in Firefox that it fails. I have Firefox set to use system proxy settings and this is the setting that is dictated by the University. It is very possible that I changed a setting while tinkering that prevents such message boxes from appearing or uses an old username and password automatically, but I haven't been able to find anything like this.
Help would be greatly appreciated! I am completely stuck on this.
Thanks

I changed my hotmail password. iPad2 asks for new password which I type in the box but it won't accept the password. No problem with my iPhone. Help!
Can you access your email account through the web interface from a computer using the new password? If so, you may not be typing in the password correctly in your iPad email client. If not, then you've forgotten your new password. Try resetting the password again from the hotmail web interface.
Oops, just noticed it works on your iPhone. -
Firefox is installed on my work computer (v16 on windows XP). When I go to any unsecure website, I get a request for a username and password from a proxy. I don't have one, so I press "cancel." I get the following message (I put the asterisks in):
"This Page Cannot Be Displayed
Authentication is required to access the requested web site ( *******-webproxy ). A valid user ID and password must be entered when prompted.
If you have questions, need assistance with your login information, or feel this is an error, please contact your corporate network administrator and provide the codes shown below.
Notification codes: (1, WWW_AUTH_REQUIRED, *********-webproxy)"
The website in the address bar is: http://*******-webproxy/B0000D0000N0001F0000S0002R0004/http://www.whatever.com/
This started after it upgraded (to which version, I don't remember). I also had another version of firefox installed to my "Local Settings" directory since I can't (un)install programs on the computer. That one was working fine until I upgraded to v.15 or v.16 (or maybe 14... I don't remember), and then I started getting the warning screen for an untrusted connection whenever I went to a secure website (https), I had to confirm a security exception, etc. And even then some pages only appeared as text.
I uninstalled that version, and then installed 17b4, and I'm back to the same problem as the original firefox: unsecure websites always seem to be redirecting through a proxy, and secure ones always tell me the connection is untrusted and I have to confirm an exception. I have "No proxy" selected in the network options. I tried v16 with the same results.
I would love to be able to just go to a website and not have to confirm security exceptions or get web proxy errors.
Internet Explorer works fine, btw.Not sure from your example but it appears that the address doesn't have a full domain, i.e., the part between http:// and the next / is not a valid internet domain name, e.g.,
http://sometext-webproxy/
In that case, it's probably something running on your computer, either as part of your security software, or as a Firefox add-on, or malware.
A standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If you can access sites normally, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
To also disable plugins, you can try here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any change?
