Firefox Setup 7.0.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

''Firefox Setup 7.0.exe is not a valid Win32 application.''
The message above is displayed immediately after I click "Run" in the window titled "Open File - Security Warning" which asks to "Run" or "Cancel".

Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

Firefox Home with Search panel does not load/appear. When I click the home icon a message appears that says Firefox is not a valid URL. Never did that before?

Nothing different from the question. Firefox just does not load. When I place the mouse cursor over the home icon and do not click, a message panel seemingly powered by My Yahoo states "drag the AT&T globe to the left of the home icon in the toolbar and drop it there, then select "yes" from the pop up window and you are done." This was an action I did recently (not today) but don't see what this has to do with Firefox

Application builder exe does not load excel

I have used application property node and invoke node to cerate a set of VIs that read and write data to an Excel sperad sheet. This works fine in when running in LabVIEW, however when I run myApp.exe as build from application builder, the data does not get logged to Excel. The file dialog appears to open the XL Spreadsheet but not data gets logged nor is any error reported?
What is going on? All the VI are in the same project folder? Is there some additional addon run-time the must be installed on the target machine? I am uisng LabVIEW 2012 on the development station with Win7 Pro and Office 2010 on both the devleopment station and the target system. Is there one document that describes using Application Builder? It was not clear that I needed both LabVIEW and VISA run-time engines to get my application.exe to run on the target. Is there something simialr I must do to get Office to work as well?

I was finally able to track this back through by starting from scratch and received an error code, which led me to this post:
https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Error-2147319779-Excel-ActiveX-and-Broken-LabVIEW-Icon/td-p/2354776
Deleting the "1.7" items solved the problem.

When I open firefox 4 beta the webpage does not load and i am unable to click on any buttons or access menus

This has only started happening today. When I start firefox 4 beta it opens and begins to load my homepage (google.co.uk) but the page never fully loads and firefox freezes. I am unable to click on any buttons on the navigation bar or access menus. Keyboard shortcuts are also unresponsive.
All that I am able to do on the browser is to use the three window buttons in the top right of the screen (minimise, maximise and close).
After closing the window if I try to open it again I get a message saying that Firefox is already running, but not responding. Once going into task manager and stopping firefox under the processes tab and then restarting firefox the window again freezes as soon as it opens.
I have tried restarting my computer and reinstalling the beta but with no success. I am still able to use firefox 3.6.13 as well as chrome with no problems.
Any help would be much appreciated

I had this too. Starting firefox in safe-mode and disabling all add-ons solved the problem. After re-enabling all add-ons did not bring back the problem.

TS3988 icloud.exe does not load from the installer onto my windows 7 laptop

Installed the iCloudSetup from Apple. Installer said everything installed and finished. When I go to open iCloud, the laptop is looking for the iCloud.exe file and after a few minutes, it notifies me that it cannot find the original .exe file.
I am thinking of re-loading the installer file again and starting over.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!!

There is an app you can download for xp, i havnt tried it because im not going to use icloud but if you go onto the ipad tab and then icloud there is a link on there.

Firefox 3: QuickTime Poster Movie does not load QT media file when clicked

I have a video podcast website (thomasbrin.com) that uses the the Apple-provided JavaScript utility and the QTWriteOBJECTXHTML function call on each of my podcast episode webpages to automatically generate the proper object and embed tags. The page loads with a poster movie which, when a user clicks on, should connect to the podcast media file and begin playback.
This coding technique works fine in Safari and IE but fails in Firefox. Instead, when a user clicks on the poster movie, nothing happens. No errors are generated, the webpage just remains unchanged.
This issue came to my attention from a viewer of my video podcast. I loaded Firefox 3 and am having the same issue my viewer reported.
You can visit this page to see the issue directly: http://www.thomasbrin.com/GOT3mov.html Load the page in Firefox 3 and click on the poster movie.
I've verified that on my system the QuickTime plugin is properly installed and Javascirpt is enabled in Firefox.
I have searched the Firefox and Apple support forums but have come up empty. Any ideas?

Okay, problem solved. And, of course, it was a very simple solution.
Baby Boomer, if you read this post would you please retest this page (http://www.thomasbrin.com/GOT3mov.html) in Camino and let me know if it works for you now.
The issue with the Camino browser got me thinking about the differences between the Gecko rendering engine (used by Firefox, Camino, SeaMonkey, and more) and the WebKit rendering engine used by Safari. I realized that Safari may be better at inferring MIME types than Firefox et al. In other words, since the target file in my Javascript script is clearly a QuickTime file (it has a .mov extension after all), Safari implicitly assumes the correct MIME type. On the other hand, Gecko-based browsers may be more strict and require an explicit reference to a MIME type for certain media files (like QuickTime) to load properly.
So, all I did was add an attribute pair to my script that declares the proper media MIME type and it works.
Here's my old script (without the script tags):
QTWriteOBJECTXHTML('BrinPoster2.jpg','640','376','',
'HREF','http://www.thomasbrin.com/QTEncodings/GOT3NS.mov',
'TARGET','myself',
'CONTROLLER','False');
Here's my new script (without the script tags):
QTWriteOBJECTXHTML('BrinPoster2.jpg','640','376','',
'HREF','http://www.thomasbrin.com/QTEncodings/GOT3NS.mov',
'TARGET','myself',
'TYPE','video/quicktime',
'CONTROLLER','False');
The explicit MIME type made the difference.

Firefox Setup 7.0.exe won't open in XP-ProSP3; Why?

I have a fresh (reinstalled after formatting harddrive) XP-Pro installation with SP3. I started rebuilding my system after doing the system installations last night. I rebooted before running Setup 7.0. I have no other information but the error message that came up on the screen. It is:
Firefox Setup 7.0.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

That error is displayed when the download is corrupt. You should be able to redownload to fix this and if that doesn't work empty the cache of the program you are using to download Firefox with before trying to download again.

Firefox 26 does not load the home page. Instead, it loads the previous session (and that includes all the tabs). It does not matter how Firefox is closed.

Firefox 26 does not load the home page. Instead, it loads the previous session, irrespective of what has been entered in "Options". The browser is running in Win 7.0 64-bit; Norton Internet Suite 21 provides the security functions. There are certain "cloud" solutions also running such as Google Drive, Box, Skydrive and Cubby. The browser behaves similarly in all my machines (the setup and OS is similar to the one described above) and no amount of resetting of "Options" seems to affect it . Nor is it affected by the manner Firefox is closed. It is obviously a bug that needs to be fixed.

u wait for firefox next update
otherwise
1. go to firefox tab .
2. click on help ->trouble shooting information.
3. reset ur browser .
ur problem is solved

Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223

As far as I can determine, Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 (identified on the Plug-ins list as "Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223") when I access most of the pages on the MSN website. Whether it will display any specific video is unpredictable but it displays about one out of five.
If I place the mouse cursor on the blank black video display area (for which no controls or buttons are displayed), and click the right mouse button, then either (1) the context menu is the same as for clicking the mouse cursor on an empty part of the page, or (2) the context menu is not displayed at all.
Apparently, Firefox has failed to load the plug-in, but does not display any error message. Neither is there any error message displayed by the plug-in.
If you think I am willing to undertake a trial-and-error odyssey through various "do this and see what happens" recommendations in "Knowledge Base" articles and the like, then think again. I don't have the time to make the effort, and I will use Internet Exporer instead. It ought to work with MSN just fine. :-)
Since I did not develop Firefox, this is not my problem to solve. It's your software, not mine, and I didn't make the mistakes, so you fix it.
By the way:
Either Firefox Help does not display the version correctly, or your Troubleshooter doesn't obtain the data correctly. Help says version 33.1 and Troubleshooter says 33.0. YES I KNOW THAT FIREFOX 33.1.1 IS AVAILABLE. SO WHAT?
Troubleshooter also identifies the Shockwave Flash plug-in as "15.0 r0" but the native Add-ons feature identifies it as 15.0.0.223 -- which is the version that Adobe uses.
The last line of the Troubleshooter's "educated guesses" just has "* 5.1.30514.0". I have no idea as to what that refers to and I doubt that anyone else would have one either.
Well, maybe those numbers are good enough for "educated guessers" but in my experience computers do not make "educated guesses" even if software developers do.
Enjoy!

Please refrain from posting scattergun boilerplate suggestions.
Please post specific instructions that will resolve the problem. If you don't know why the problem occurs and how to remedy the problem, then don't bother.
Realize that the problem did not occur with the previous version of Adobe Flash Player, but began after it was updated to 15.0.0.223. So it is is apparently specific to that version, and it may reflect a flaw in Adobe Flash Player. There's no way to actually report it to Adobe. Posting a report in their "user forum" just produces replies like the one that you have posted in reply to my OP, so what is the use?
Evidently you presume that Firefox does not have a bug, that something else doesn't work and you may be right. However, if Firefox does have a bug, then nothing that you have posted will correct it, and experimenting according to your boilerplate will be nothing but a waste of time and effort.
Again, the problem is not that Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 does not run, but that it does not run when I attempt to view most of the videos on MSN. It does display videos from YouTube and other websites with an occasional specific exception. If the failure occured on more websites, and with all MSN videos, then maybe your suggestions for investigating it would have more merit.
For what it is worth: the problem occurs in Firefox Safe Mode and without Firefox Safe Mode. Disabling or enabling any extensions or other plug-ins has no effect.
I established that while investigating why Firefox 33.1 started producing crash reports every time that it initially displayed the New Tab page when I visited MSN (Firefox 32 did not do that). I also checked whether the actions that I took to troubleshoot that behavior affected Adobe Flash Player on MSN. They didn't.
Apparently the crash reports occured because Firefox could not find or could not load the "thumbnail" images for website pages that I had previously seen (they are often deleted by ''CCleaner''). The crash reports stopped after I made a couple of changes to the configuration for the ''SandboxIE'' sandbox in which I run Firefox.
Frankly, Firefox "Safe Mode" is something I don't need, because I run Firefox in a ''SandboxIE'' sandbox, which is a much more comprehensive security measure than anything implemented by any specific application. At the moment I don't recall whether Firefox Safe Mode is enabled, although I probaby re-enabled it after disabling it during the crash-report investigation. But it didn't make any difference with regard to Adobe Flash Player in that context, so there's no reason to repeat it.

Michael's Weekly Ad does not load in Firefox, but it loads in Internet Explorer

My wife and I have different computers, and she is interested in many ads for craft stores and the like. As such, she's been telling me how the Michael's Weekly Ad (http://weeklyad.michaels.com) does not load on her computer. Just for a kick, I thought I'd try it on mine, fully expecting it not to load, but then it did. I have double-checked everything I can think of; I have completely updated her add-ons (which turned out to be useless anyway because after disabling ALL of mine, the ad still loaded), I checked to make sure our version of Firefox match, and I have tried using search engines (Google) to locate any similar problems to no avail. Is there any explanation available (and ideally fixing whatever is wrong)?

A lot of content on that page is loaded via JavaScript, so she may be blocking some scripts on that page if it sin't displaying prolerly.
If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

A game that used to load in old browser does not load in Firefox, despite installing new version of the Adobe Flash player as instructed?

I used to have Internet Explorer as the browser on my laptop but had loads of problems. I installed Firefox as I had been told that it was more efficient. I play several application games within Facebook and one of them - Treasure Island Adventure Game - does not load whatsoever. It states if game does not load within 10 seconds to upgrade my version of the Adobe Flash player. I did that and re-started my laptop and the problem was not solved. I even deleted the application then loaded it up but it still did not make any difference.

Acrobat does not load "Edit\Preferences\Color Management\Color Setup" properly.

When you convert a CMYK document with DeviceCMYK color space to profile, Acrobat X/XI Pro does not take the Working Space selected in "Edit\Preferences\Color Management\Color Setup" as the source space of DeviceCMYK object properly. But, after you change the "Settings" to any other setting (Like Jappan General Purpose 2) and confirm, and then change back to your wanted setting, thus, Acrobat will take the Working Space to convert color correctly. I tryed this many times, it reapears every time. It looks like that Acrobat does not load the "Color Setup" properly. Is there any one knows the reason of the problem? Is this a bug of Acrobat?

Could this only be a problem with clean installs of CS3?
