Firefox will NOT install on my computer

I have a brand new computer that I am trying to instal firefox on. When I hit the install button, nothing happens, no matter how long I wait. The popup blocker is turned off, and I am connected by wi-fi. Why won't it connect. I would much rather have firefox that explorer, but this is very frustrating!

Hello jscher2000. My operating system is Windows Vista, and my browser is Google Chrome. I can't remember this message appearing on any other installation. Previously, when using Firefox, I received the same message while trying to upgrade. At that time I was able to switch between browsers - I can't do that now. Some faulty "speed up" software deactivated several programmes. My computer wouldn't start after this.
A restore point had to be used so it could function again. Despite being connected to the internet I couldn't open any browser initially. Fortunately Chrome started when I selected a programme which I'd installed on it. Just a bit of history... Pardon the ramble.

Firefox will not install on my computer. It was previously running. Then just stopped. I uninstalled and tried reintalling and it looks as though it is installing then does not complete.

Ran multiple anti-virus/malware to rule out. Everything is good. Registry error perhaps. Pleas Help. Maxthon browser sucks.

The Installation File is downloaded. UAC is disable. I am running AVG Interner Security 2011. I disable all security and When I open the instalation file, it says extracting, and the staus bar goes to 95%. I then get the circular waiting icon, then nothing. I can see 3 Firefox related files in the Processes of the Task Manager.
Firefox Setup 1476K
setup.exe 2840K Firefox Installer
setup.exe 2864K Firefox Installer
This is not a result of trying to open the installer multiple times. Each time I end the processes before trying again.
I sincerely appreciate the help.

Firefox will not install. I keep getting a message that I have to restart my computer in order for updates to a previous version can be installed.

Every time I restart the computer and try to install firefox the same message keeps appearing. I attempted to uninstall the earlier version of firefox using "programs and features" in windows but the same message came up and thus I was unable to uninstall using that method. I have used a third party uninstall program which appeared to delete all traces of firefox including registry entries but I still have the same problem.
I am now in the position of not being able to load any version of firefox. HELP

Same problem here. I installed version 4.0, then removed it and tried to install 3.6. Now no version Firefox will not install. I keep getting a message that I have to restart my computer in order for updates to a previous version can be installed.

Firefox will not install addons

After getting a new computer and installing Firefox 12 on it, Firefox will not install addons. The only way that I can get it to install anything is by downloading the .xpi file and manually installing it. Unfortunately, I cannot download the .xpi file to one of the addons that I need to do my work, so this is a problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Down loaded Mavericks, will not install on my computer because it says "this hard drive is used for time machine back up".

Down loaded mavericks, it will not install on my computer because it says" this hard drive is used for time machine back up". So I used my old computer hard drive for back up and reloaded the program but it still says the first hard drive is being used.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Make sure you have selected your MacBook Pro's hard drive as the destination to install Mavericks. If so, you have the "Backups.backupdb" folder in the root level of your hard drive.
That's the folder used by Time Machine to store backups of your files, and the Mavericks installer understands that your internal hard disk is the Time Machine drive.
To fix this, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type:
Then, delete "Backups.backupdb", empty the Trash and run the Mavericks installer. Finally, install OS X Mavericks

Firefox will not open on my computer

From sometime last night to today (11/18) Firefox will not open when I click on the shortcut link from my desktop. I've tried to add another profile by clicking on start/run/firefox.exe but that doesn't even work. What would be the next step?

Do any error messages display when attempting to open Firefox?<br>
In the task manager, is the <code>firefox.exe</code> process running?
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back soon.

Itunes 11 will not install on my computer??

Itunes 11 will not download on my computer. Itunes pop up saying it will not recognize my device unless I download latest version which I have done but still getting same pop up????

I figured it out. Just got off the phone with support took about an hour. First I uninstalled iTunes , after doing that it did not help. Finally realized The internet search engines I was using wasn't allowing me to download. I was using Firefox and explorer. So I downloaded google chrome. I went to iTunes.com and tried it again and then it finally asked me if I would like to run program. Finally worked. Hope this helps.

Firefox will not open without restarting computer

I do not shut down my computer as we use "Log Me In" so I and another person can log in from wherever we want, anytime. About 5 months ago the problem started. I can open FF when I come in every morning, but when I come back in the afternoon or later in the evening, Firefox will NOT open.. It does nothing.. I can click to open, use the drop down and select open, nothing happens. I have to restart my computer every afternoon in order to get Firfox to open.. So I have begun transferring all my links to IE as it does not have any problme like that.
