Firefox will not download on mac OSX10.8.5. Stops at 15 seconds to go.

Firefox will not download onto my mac OSX 10.8.5. It stops at 15 seconds to go. HELP!!

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 25.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded

Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

    Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.<br />
    Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

  • Reflow app will not download on Mac with Lion vs 10.8.2 how to solve?

    On the App Store Reflow app will not download on Mac with Lion vs 10.8.2 how to solve?
    After installed the App a message appear can not download the app try again.
    Can anybody help?
    On the I-pad I found no difficulties but that is another workable issue.

    Make a new user Test Account on your computer, then try to download it through there, see what happens.

  • Firefox will not download and neither will any other program, ever since I accidentally deleted it.

    I tried to clear a history and accidentally trashed firefox, It disappeared from my dock, so I opened Safari and tried to re-install firefox. Now, it will not download. Nothing from any site will download at all. What do I do?

    It sounds as though your PC is infected with fake antivirus software. The detailed cleanup instructions vary depending on which fake AV you have. However, as a first step, try this:
    Download the following on a different PC, copy them to a USB flash drive or CD, and then run them on the infected PC:
    Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
    Hopefully these will get you back online safely. If not, search for clean-up instructions for the specific malware.

  • Firefox will not download on my neoware m1000 windows xp embedded laptop

    Firefox will not correctly install on my neoware m100 notebook, os is windows xp embedded and citrix. i have tried downloading and received an error corrupted file message or it just ends at extracting files
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i tried downloading and installing firefox yesterday and today ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

    I had this same problem on a Wyse V90LE Thin-Client running XPe. It ended up that my TEMP & TMP environment variables were set to Z: which was a 30MB RAMDRIVE.
    You might try changing your TEMP & TMP environment variables to some drive that has plenty of space. (100 MB did it for me) Go to CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > ADVANCED TAB > ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES BUTTON and change the value of both TEMP & TMP.
    Hope this helps!

  • Mountain lion will not download on mac air.

    I have a late 2010 mac air, purhcased mountain lion, clicked download and all it does is show me the circling icon at the top of the app store but does not proceed to download it. I can click it as many times as I like but it will not download!! I have restarted computer!! Very frustrating!

    Figured it out. Thanks.

  • Firefox will not download anything?

    I seem to have a problem with Mozilla for Android, namely, that it will not download anything. I can click on downloads and it seems to go through the motions but nothing appears in 'downloads'. The problem started happening when I downloaded, installed and then removed another well known browser beggining with the letter 'O' :-; Unfortunately this browser messes with the stock Android download manager.
    I'm running on a Google Nexus 7 with Android 4.3. Fortunately I can still download with the default Chrome browser. The problem has also ocurred on my Samsung SIII Mini which runs Android 4.1.2 so its not unique to the Nexus tablet. The problem is still ocurring even after a factory reset on the tablet!

    Factory reset did not actually fix the issue.
    However, I discovered something quite weird. When I try to download something, although it appears that nothing happens, FF puts an entry in History.
    If I now go to history and tap on the entry for the download, FF starts downloading the file and then automatically presents me with the option to open in Aldiko or PDF viewer as before!
    Its a pity it doesn't work on the first attempt - but at least I have a workaround!

  • Safari and Firefox will not download from a particular site

    Greetings,
    I own a Dual 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 (FW800) with 2 MB L3 cache per processor and 1 GB DDR SDRAM with the Mac OS X Version 10.4.11
    My Safari version is 4.1.2 (4533.18.5)
    My Firefox version is 3.6.10
    I want to access this site for the information that it contains:
    http://www.gis.mt.gov/
    Safari has never worked with this site.
    Firefox has worked very well for the past 2 years.
    Recently, very recently, both browsers do NOT work with this site. I called the state's technical support and was informed:
    1) That it is a hit or miss possibility for Safari and Firefox to work properly with this site; and,
    2) That the site is optimized to operate with Internet Explorer for Windows.
    I am unable to find and to download a recent version of Internet Explorer for Mac. Microsoft ended support for this browser (version 5.2.3) on 12/31/2006. I did download this version and it did not work.
    Open this site: http://www.gis.mt.gov/
    Click on “Property Map” located in upper left area of the screen.
    On new drop-down, click on the “OK” button
    A new window should appear with a map of Montana, with outlines of its 56 counties. If this map does NOT appear; then, the problem is being shown.
    If this map of counties does appear; then, GREAT.
    On this new window and in lower right hand corner choose a city and click on the “Go” button. A new window with the city shown should appear. If this city does not appear; then, there is the problem.
    In the past I have used the “Property Map” most of the time because it contains information most useful to me. I want to continue using this “Property Map” into the future. The problem is that my results with both Safari and Firefox is a blank window after completing the above steps.
    Help ! ! What can I do different/change/modify?

    There is your answer. Many US Government sites are the same - they simply WILL NOT follow the necessary web standards to make them Apple and/or Safari compliant.
    The only thing you can try is to go to Safari's Develop Menu and try using Internet Explorer as the User Agent.

  • Firefox will not download slottomania.

    Starting today I cannot play the Facebook game Slottomania. Firefox will download until it reaches 90% and then locks up.
    This has not been a problem before today. Having the problem on two different computers.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.

  • Firefox will not download to my computer. tried 4 times

    I could NOT get firefox to update. I tried downloading it, but it would NOT download after 4 tries.
    Can you E-mail me a copy to [email address removed by moderator], - so that I can try to directly load it into my computer. I believe this is due to a virus from one of the other browsers that prevents me from downloading or updating my firefox. all 4 of the .exe copies just says "Failed" on the download arrow.
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    Does it fail on every browser? Also if no download works, it might point to bigger issues that you would want to address before downloading Firefox...
    Make sure that you are downloading from the official Mozilla website:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If you still cannot download, I recommend you download it from another computer and transfer the install file via USB or email it to yourself there.
