Firefox starts downloading netbeans-7.....exe file everytime it is started

I had downloaded
http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/netbeans/7.0/final/bundles/netbeans-7.0-ml-javase-windows.exe
I downloaded it twice now, have installed the application and removed it from the list in tools-> downloads, Still, FF will start this download every time I restart Firefox. I am using FF 4.

It is possible that anti-virus 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.

Reinstalling CS2 from downloaded 3 x .exe files (due to activation issues

I downloaded the 3 files from Adobe to reinstall CS2 but after disk 1 it asks for disk 2. If I click the exe file on the hard drive it wil not work. If I burn a disk adn put in the disks as requested it wil not work. Any help would be welcome - loading onto an XP system that had a correupted drive. Thanks

the 2nd file extracts to an incorrect directory.
to resolve, move each extracted disk's files to the directory created when the first disk extracts. ie, extract all 3 files. move all the disk2 and disk3 extracted files to the directory created when extracting disk 1.

Nothing happens when I download disk 2 exe file to continue installation process. Help!

I am trying to install cs2 (reinstalling). I click the disk 1 exe file with no prob, but when it says to insert disk 2, I click the exe file and it doesn't respond. I tried burning a cd and then insert the disk as prompted and still no results.

Yet no result. I get the same old browser, with no new features.
Also, I rebooted my pc. But to no effect.
Help pl
Thanx

It looks that the update wasn't successful because your "More system details" list still shows a Firefox 3.6.18 version.
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 5.0.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.
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 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox 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.

Firefox stops downloading and corrupts the file after I exit the brower. It didn't do this before I updated it to 3.6

Back then, before I had updated to the newest version of Firefox, I could close all the browser windows and still have the downloads remain active. However, now that I have updated my Firefox to its most up-to-date version, whenever I close all the browsers, the download who stop. Even though the file is nowhere near completion, the program would think it's finished downloading and ends up corrupting it. Is there any way to revert back to the way it was when I first had Firefox? Thanks.

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Firefox Hangs Downloading and Displaying PDF Files

I've had a problem with Firefox for several years where it hangs in the middle of the file when downloading and displaying a PDF file. Typically it downloads a few hundred kilobytes and then stalls.
Recently I upgraded from Acrobat 8.1 to Acrobat 9.1. The problem remains. The problem may not occur on all PDF files.
I suspect the problem is related to the Plug-in, as I just installed the Foxit PDF Reader and Firefox now handles the PDF file without problem.
Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?
Thanks, Kent

Thanks for the replies. I don't think I was clear enough with my question.
What I want to be able to do is to click on a PDF file in my Firefox browser and be able to save it as an Adobe PDF file, not a Preview PDF file, in any folder on my computer, rather than just the specified default location for downloads. This way I can save, for example, phone bills in the phone bills folder and bank statements in the bank statements folder without having to save them to the desktop, "Get Info" on each, and change the "Open with:" box from Preview to Adobe Reader.
Fortunately, thanks to Michael's post, I found an add-on from Firefox that allows me to do just that: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/636
Thanks for your help. Now, within my Firefox browser, I can choose whether to view or download PDF files, always in Adobe rather than Preview, and when I save them I get the option to choose the location each and every time.

I´m not able to download the mac version of photoshop and lightroom, I always get a download of an .exe file, which I cannot handle.

No mac version?

Hi peter314,
Please download CC desktop app via Free Creative Cloud | Download Adobe Creative Cloud free trial and then start downloading Photoshop and Lightroom.
In case that also comes in .exe then download PS and LR via Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links – Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools
PS: Please follow the VERY IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS or else the download will not start.

I have installed version 6.0.2. Everytime I start Firefox, a popup opens up titled 'opening firefox setup 6.0.2.exe' and offers to save the file. How do I stop this from popping up since I already have the version offered?

The update was attempted automatically, I think. When it would not complete it said download and run the update manually. I did that. Every time I start Firefox the Firefox Setup 6.0.2.exe file is offered up to save.

* see [[firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]
Probably you have accidentally added the new page as an addition to your home pages, or Firefox is having problems with your settings; it may help to close down with the <br/> '''Firefox button -> []Exit'''; rather than just quitting the application.

Downloading changes setu.exe to setup.exe.part-can't run the file

Any time I download a setup.exe file the file extension is changed to setup.exe.part. The executable won't run to do the install. I've tried the same executable downloads with other browsers and it works fine. Suddenly Firefox seems to be altering the file I'm downloading.
1. I use the Download Manager and download to the Desktop (as I have chosen in "Tools".
2. I always save the file since the "Run" button is not available when starting the download.
3. The file for some reason now always saves as xxxx.setup.exe.part
4. The executable will not open and I always get an error dialog that offers me a search on the web to try to open the file.
Please help.
Thanks

Can't access FTP server to download tftp.exe file

I am trying to update the firmware on my WRT54GS v5 router. I had no problem downloading the firmware, but can't access the FTP site for the TFTP.EXE file. It won't work in IE or Firefox. I can't get it through my router, or wireless thorugh my neighbor's router.
What should I try?

To download the TFTP.exe file on your computer click Here.
Once you download the TFTP file on your computer, now connect your computer to the Linksys router and Follow the instruction below.
Double click the TFTP.exe file and click run.
For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned. By default, the router is 192.168.1.1...
For Password- Enter the password you assigned the router. By default, the router’s password is “admin”.
For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...
Click Upgrade button to start upgrading. A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
Once the Upgrade is done press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

What is the second exe file when downloading Reader 11.0.3 and what is it used for?

I downloaded Reader 11.0.3 for Windows 8 yesterday and in doing so it tried to download a 2nd exe file. When I googled the name of the 2nd exe some sites said it is a virus (so I cancelled the download of the 2nd exe). Is it a virus or what is it? I don't have the file name with me but will post it later when I have the file name.

Thanks for the info,but before selecting "download now" I unchecked the "Yes, install Chrome as my default browser and Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer - optional" box so if that is what it is, then it should not have tried to download. It prompted for a run or save on the first download, I installed the first download and after it completed, then a run or save prompt came up for Install_reader11_en_gtbd_chrd_dn_aaa_aih.exe. Since I didn't choose to install anything else and I didn't know what it was, I ggogled it and a number of sites had hits for it, including the forums here where others were complaining that they couldn't install or uninstall reader with that exe running in background. Other links said it was a trojan horse, loaded viruses, etc. so I didn't save or run it. The first of the two exe downloads installed reader and it seems to work fine though.

Can EXE files be used on the MAc?

I'm not sure if this is in the correct category, but I am trying to download a program (Rhapsody) that I used on the PC. Whenever I click to download it (there are no OS options but it system requirements it says Mac OS 10.4 or higher) it automatically goes into my downloads as an .exe file. I was under the impression that .exe files are for Windows and not the Mac.
If I did try to open a Windows file, would it crash the Mac?
Also, someone recently told me that an intel mac is not a real mac and intel is made by Microsoft... I have never heard of this. He said that intel macs don't work the same as "real macs" and I could have problems because it's intel. Is that correct? Is my Mac Mini version 10.5.8 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo a Mac 10.5 or a Mac intel, I am confused about this.
Thank you!

.EXE files will work with Intel Macs running virtualization. Boot Camp is prebundled with Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6, allowing you to boot into Windows, if you have a copy of Windows to install on your Mac that is compatible with that version of Boot Camp. Additional virtualization titles are below*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
That said, your statement here is a bit of a oxymoron:
Whenever I click to download it (there are no OS options but it system requirements it says Mac OS 10.4 or higher) it automatically goes into my downloads as an .exe file.
The place giving you that download has either mislabeled the download, or is missing the download. At minimum, it should have bundled a .dmg, .gz, .sit, or .hqx document to run on 10.4. Virtualization under 10.4 is available, but it is not going to run as Boot Camp, because 10.5 is where Boot Camp is prebundled. You'd have to use Parallels, Virtualbox, or VMWare to install the .exe under 10.4 on an Intel Mac. Since you have 10.5.8, you already have Boot Camp capaibility. One problem people might run into with Intel Macs, is older PowerPC applications that access PowerPC only drivers or plugins, or need Mac OS 9. Ask the place that makes the software, if it relies on such things. If it does, inform them that they are woefully out of date, as Macs started coming with Intel chips January 2006. Find an alternative software title in that event.

Updating Flash - 'error has been encountered' and exe file vanishes

On an Aspire one netbook that I've not used for some time, so loads was out of date. I've just updated firefox, and that was fine.
But I keep getting warning messages about adobe flash being out of date and vulnerable, so have tried to update that too. I've tried about half a dozen times, and every time manage to download the update exe file, but every time it fails to fully install and gives this message: "Error has been encountered. Close this window and try downloading again."
I've gone back to the download page, and checked various possible causes. I've closed firefox first - no difference. The exe file seemed to vanish from the downloads folder, so this last time I copied it to the desktop. After the error message appears - the exe file has disappeared from the desktop. Weird.
I've tried switching off the warning message on the webpage (in case that was also blocking the newly downloaded file even when I wasn't connected to the internet, but it doesn't seem to make any difference).
Maybe I don't really care whether adobe is working or not, as I don't use the netbook much anyway - but I feel very uneasy with that warning message on so many web pages. I've tried searching forums, but it was all a bit beyond me.
Thanks for any help.

hello, can you get adobe's setup to work when you use the ''EXE-installer for Windows/Plugin-based browsers'' from [https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html]?

Oracle 9iAS v1.0.2.2.1 iSetup.exe file

Hello!
Could anyone arrange me a copy of a working iSetup.exe file for
Oracle 9iAS v1.0.2.2.1, because the one that i downloaded does
not work at all when i double click on it!
I downloaded the iSetup.exe file that corrects the CD-ROM
problem, but i overwrote the one that came in the zip files.
I already downloaded the iSetup.exe again but it does the same.
Thanks in advance,
Paulo.

Maybe this is a bit of a simple question. But, do you remember how long you waited, when the progress bar indicated 100%? The installation progress status does indicate "100%" for a while, doing some "last minute" stuff, before moving on to the "Configuration Tools" phase.
Yes, as Ashesh stated, Oracle9iAS 10222a and Oracle9i Database can co-exist on the same machine, as long as they are in separate ORACLE_HOMEs. And, yes, the structure you described (\oracle\database and \oracle\iASHome) does qualify as "separate ORACLE_HOMEs".
Cheers!
