Firefox is dumped whwn downloade to windiws pc via IE browser. you know this happens, why no fix?

IE is stopping browser upgrade to firefox or other like Safari. when you press download and save it does not appear caise IE prevent the download.
my other comp is a Mac so it wont down load it cause its not correct for the machine. i was hoping to load it to a stick to carry it onto my PC that way.
you must be losing lots of customers due to this IE tactic.

Probably an issue with your security zone setting in Windows or an anti-virus application.
You can use your Mac to download a Windows version of Firefox from here: <br />

    Hi, on my fathers pc sometimes when downloading multiple tabs start opening and I cannot stop this happening. Could anybody please help me? for example, trying to download TomTom Start 25 user manual

    You get that problem if you select the Firefox program to handle a file if you get an "open with" dialog.

    Anytime I open Firefox I get the following message: It is strongly recommended that you apply this update as soon as possible. When I try to do it, it is showing that it is trying to connect to the update server but nothing is happening

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    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.
    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.

  • Often, Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted.

    Hello,
    Often, the Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted. This happens especially when many apps are running but even though there are plenty of memory resources available.
    I have tried to find if something is using Firefox in the background, but have no way to know what that would be.
    Their are no apparent viruses detected.
    Firefox is version v5.0 and occurred in earlier release.
    System is Windows 7 (64bit).

    well, it's not the same hardware and it's a bit different.
    I managed to pass that stage somehow but I still have a problem
    I don't use the built-in creator tool that comes with Spyrus as it doesn't know how to append a pre-staged media that was created by SCCM that should apply the Windows file system to a second partition and the WinPE to the first partition.
    I managed to do everything. my only problem is that the WTGCreator that comes with SCCM 2012 R2 creates the 350MB partition with FAT32 file system.
    when I boot from the device I get the WinPE, I can choose a task sequence and then it fails when trying to apply the wim file. the error tells me that the 350MB partition is FAT32 which is not supported (even though it chooses the second partition, which
    is all the rest of the disk space)
    what I did was adding another task that converts the 32 Fat partition to an NTFS partition and then the process continues and finishes successfully! but that's a workaround.
    I'm trying to make this process as smooth as possible without having additional steps

  • I am having issues with my iphone6 bluetooth connection in my car.  When going to settings under bluetooth, it is unable to find any devices.  I did not have this issue until I downloaded IOS 8.0.2.  Do you know if there has been any resolution yet?

    I am having issues with my iphone6 Bluetooth connection in my 2013 Mercedes C Class.  When going to settings under Bluetooth, it is unable to find any devices.  I did not have this issue until I downloaded IOS 8.0.2.  Do you know if there has been any resolution from Apple yet?

    Hi susan from WSL, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that when your Bluetooth accessories, such as your car connection, do not work as expected it can be very frustrating. In this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps provided in the attached article. 
    If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit
    Cheers,

  • Trying to download VirtualDj from app store: how do you know it is downloading

    Seems like it is just spinning. Are there any indicators to let you know the process is working

    Hi ..
    Click the Launchpad icon in your Dock to see the download status bar.
    Even on broadband high speed internet it can take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour or so to download and install Yosemite.
    Your Mac may restart several times on it's own during the process.

  • Firefox crashes every time i try to open any page - do you know why this is happening - it only started when i downloaded the new verion of firefox.

    firefox has started crashing every time i try to upload a new page. This has only started happening since i downloaded firefox 4.

    The CrashIDs are what is needed. Do not attempt to attach or paste the reports.
    #Run Firefox in safe mode does that prevent crashes ?<br/>[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    #Disable all plugins
    #Repeat and this time try in Windows safe mode. use the F8 key <br /> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7
    So you are saying it works ok as long as you avoid certain pages such as this Forum. That makes me wonder if it could be malware that is blocking access to assistance.Run malwarescans with multipe and up-to-date tools.
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • How can I check whether new versions of Firefox are compatible with my add-ons? I specifically need to know this regarding Zotero as I would very much hate to loose my reference data base when changing from one version of Firefox to the next ...

    Is there an add-on that can help me with this? Or do I just install the new version and hope for the best?

    Firefox 9.0.1 is a real old version and is no longer supported - Firefox 24.0 is the current release version.
    Open the Add-0ns manager tab and click on '''More''' for each extension that you have installed. Near the bottom of each "More" there should be a link that will take you to the download page where you can verify compatibility.
    Or use this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/is-it-compatible/ - but I'm not sure how well it will work when you are so many versions 'behind the curve'.

  • Firefox cannot load pages that other browsers can, but the 'help' page for this issue did not fix the problem.

    I am troubleshooting an issue occurring on a family member's pc. Immediately after changing their "search" settings from "Yahoo search" to "Google search", they found that Firefox was unable to load any webpages. After troubleshooting the problem, I found the "Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can" help page, and attempted each of the solutions listed. None of those solutions fixed the issue. Also, I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox; the issue persists. However, the 'new' version of Firefox remembered the tabs left open when the 'old' version was deleted, so some temporary files likely persisted.
    Are there any other steps that can be taken, or is Firefox on this computer no longer an option?

    Start with this;
    Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
    Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
    Check the settings.
    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
    to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
    updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see
    '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.]''' {web link}
    If there is still a problem, go to that computer and do this;
    Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press '''Enter.'''
    Under the main banner, press the button; '''Copy Text To Clipboard.'''.
    Then in the reply box at the bottom of this page,
    do a right click in the box and select '''Paste.'''
    This will show us your system details.

  • Firefox is opening a tad labled Custom search. How do you turn this off?

    Without my asking Firefox stated opening Google Custom Search instead of regular search. I would like to get back to regular search.

    Indeed the Application builder forces "run when opened" to true for top levels VIs. If you don't want your VI to make any real work when the application starts, you should simply put a do-nothing loop in the beginning of the VI that will loop until the user presses a boolean. It will be more intuitive for users to press a Run button on the FP than clicking on the white Run arrow in the bar.

  • My Applications folder and Mac HD is gone from finder and cannot locate it anywhere.  Also now getting download errors on everything and they cannot complete.  This happened with iPhoto tonight.  Any ideas?

    I don't realize when this started because I don't download apps that often or look for my applications folder.  But I cannot find my HD anywhere.  I know it has been less than two-three weeks since the last time I specifially accessed the applications folder.  Its odd because tonight I tried downloading iPhoto and got an error that it was unable to download ... try again from the app store.  I did this twice with the same result.  Any help would be appreciated. 
    Thank you.

  • Keep getting firefox not responding for about 2 months now Can any one help me figure out why and fix this?

    I'm using windows 7 64 bit system, for past 2 months keep randomly getting firefox not responding. Wait about 10-20 seconds for all tabs to respond.

    This is a bad hardware error, Baseband Error. Some have reported getting through this error by Restoring iPhone with the SIM Card removed. Try that. Try restoring with different computer. Search Web some more for other thoughts.
