Firefox won't let me re-install

I periodically uninstall and then re-install Firefox. This time it asked me to reboot my computer in order to complete the uninstall process. I rebooted, and attempted to re-install Firefox. After selecting the "Standard" installation and pressing enter, a message pops up saying that I need to complete the uninstall process by rebooting before I can install again. In short, it never seems to recognize that I have rebooted no matter how many times I do it. Please help. If you are not sure how to fix this problem, maybe you can direct me to where I can find my bookmarks....I really need them. Thanks

You can re-download purchased apps for free as long as you use the same account used to originally purchase them. Click buy, a popup will appear saying do you want to buy, your credit card will be charged, click yes, another popup will appear saying you already bought do you want to re-download, click yes.

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. how do i fix the problem

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. It use to allow me to open multiple windows before but for no apparent reason it stopped. I uninstalled it and re-installed but I'm having the same problem. How do I fix the problem
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== several days ago

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Firefox won't let me attach my Microsoft Office to my hotmail email account!

'''Firefox won’t let me attach my Microsoft Office document to my hotmail email account!'''

You are in the right area, this is the support forum.
You should not make the profile read only, that will cause problems, for instance you will not be able to change settings or add bookmarks.
Before you go any further try to make a copy of the current profile including the sub folders and files, and any accessible previous profile. (For instance are you using a disk image of the hdd prior to it being wiped, does that have the old profile on it) this suggestion is made because some of that information is likely to be useful, but is being put at risk of being deleted or overwritten.
Have a look at
*[[preferences are not saved]]
* and [[backing up your information]]
A potential problem is that you may have tried to restore from a Windows backup, they do not always work, and may need another clean re-install, but note do NOT delete the profile it is the program files that may need deleting.
Try the following in this order, testing after each stage
# return the profile settings to their standard privileges
# use firefox in [[safe mode]] no need to make changes in the options dialogue window, just click on continue
# try a new profile
#* see [[Basic Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile]]_8-make-a-new-profile
# back up your profiles (see above) then try a clean reinstall http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall

I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??

I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??
Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
Please help!

Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.

If I post a Word document on my website, I want to share the link. Firefox won't let me do that. It forces me to download the document. It won't go to the link. How can I get it to do that? Can I?

My question was already detailed: If I post a Word document on my website, I want to share the link. Firefox won't let me do that. It forces me to download the document. It won't go to the link. How can I get it to do that? Can I?
Here's an example. I want Firefox to go to this link:
http://www.therevdrcharleswallen.com/CV2008.doc
It won't. Explorer will go there, but Firefox won't. I don't want to open an extra document. I want to visit the site in my browser.

Firefox can't handle MS Office documents and you will have to open such a file in an external Office program of viewer.

Firefox won't let me upload files to nearly any Web site, so how can I fix this issue?

Whether it is gmail, Facebook, or more specifically this site (http://www.carnivalentertainment.com/index.htm), Firefox won't let me upload any type of file. Of course, if the Web site offers a standard uploader then I have a better chance of having a successful upload, but if it is not offered, then I am basically out of luck.

Dmitri2217Did you notice that the post you are replying to is almost a year old?
Apple is not reporting any problems currently.

Won't let me click install

Hi, I have Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard all ready to install on my MacBook Pro with serial number (validated) and internet (but all windows/programs closed), but right when I get to the window that says "install" or customize, it won't let me click Install. It changes color when I click it, but does nothing.
I tried to quit then put disc back in, but no dice.
Ideas?

copy the installation files from your cd to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
make sure you have no antivirus/antimalware running. if that fails, start in safe mode and then install from that directory.

Firefox won't let me select options from drop down menus, on the previous version nor on the current 4.0 version that I just downloaded.

If I am on a site and trying to get information etc, and I have to choose from a drop down menu of any kind, Firefox won't let me choose anything. I can't answer the next question regarding This Happened because I can't select from your drop down.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Firefox won't let me change proxy setting

the setting for acsessing the internet have changed from no proxy to manual proxy confuration, firefox won't let me change the setting. I've gone to firewall and changed the permissions but it didn't fix problem. I can acsess internet through internet explorer. What do I do??

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Firefox won't let me "book mark" any more

1. Firefox won't let me bookmark anymore. It puts the window up and I fill it in but it keeps telling me it didn't go through.
2.I am looking for comments about folks' experience with the newest version of Firefox and can't find it. I recall finding it before and reading lots of comments about problems with version 5--which I didn't download for that reason. Now you have a new version and I would like to know what folks are experiencing with it.

I don't know what you mean about storing them. I saved them. I had a number of "folders" that contained websites I wanted to access quickly. These seem to have disappeared. I have no way of remembering all of them so can't re-create them.
Is there something that got "turned off" when I downloaded the new version of Firefox?

Firefox won't let me use any of the links-I can't add new links by clicking on the + box. I can't delete or add links. I can't even open one of the links at the top of this page Thanks

Firefox won't let me use any of the links-I can't add new links by clicking on the + box. I can't delete or add links. I can't even open one of the links at the top of this page

I'm not sure what you mean by "the + box". Is that a feature on one of your toolbars?

Firefox won't let me allow a security certificate

I need connect to work remotely, but firefox won't let me. Says it can't verify the gateway and it's not safe to connect to the server. It doesn't even give me any option except to view the certificate. when I do that, it just ways that Windows doesn't have enough information to verify the certificate. Help!

Thanks -- however, I did previously and marked it as an exception. Now it says that it is a valid certificate, but I am still not allowed access -- I get the same message.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F). 
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. 
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

Firefox won't let me open extra tabs at all

When I try to hit the "Divided by" sign beside the one tab that is open, it does nothing. It won't let me do it manually under the file menu either. The only way I can search multiple web pages at the same time is by opening new windows, which is not the most easy to work with on a laptop.

Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' which has been reported to cause the problem with new tabs not opening. Ask.com needs to fix the problem with their toolbar.
