Had to remove firefox and now can't download to re-install

Due to 'someone' downloading something and getting malware, which should now be gone, but to clear completely removed firefox. Now using IE (yuk) tried to download FF. The firefox setup screen comes up and the rolling progress bar is going across the page but for 20 mins nothing more.

hi again, please perform all these steps if you suspect that you have malicious software present:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

  • I had access to firefox and now can't call it up. When I try to uninstall and reinstall, I still can't access it. Any ideas what I've done? Tnx.

    That about sums it up. Don't recall anything specific that led to this.

    Whats the Model number of your Camera. As you have uploaded the wrong firmware of your Camera. I think you can download the Latest firmware from the European website and upgrade the firmware of your Camera using TFTP tool utility.
    Go to ftp.linksys.com/pub/network... and download TFTP.exe File on your computer. Once done connect your camera to the Computer and provide a Static IP to your computer. 
    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 192.168.1.115...
    For Password- Enter the password you assigned the camera. By default, the camera’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 camera, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your camera...

  • Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes for my ipod how can I find this or how can I put my music from my ipod onto itunes

    Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes, how can I transfer it from my ipod into itunes, or how can I find the original one?

    Expanding on what The Fiend said, the license to play music from a CD is tied to and stays with the CD. So if you sell or give away the CDs, the license to play the music goes with them, at which point you legally no longer have the right to the tracks. You need to keep the CDs if you want to keep the music.
    As for transferring the tracks from your iPhone back to your computer so you don't have to re-import all your CDs, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:

  • Removed Safari and now can't install it.

    For some odd reason, Safari stopped autofilling email addresses in Yahoo mail. I'm not sure if it was something I did, but it definately happened. The first thing I did was to "reset" Safari. That didn't help. So, I decided to download Firefox to see if autofill worked in Firefox. It did. So, I had the bright idea that I must have inadvertently done something to Safari to make it stop autofilling. In continuation of this bright idea, I decided to remove Safari and reinstall it to see if that fixed the problem. It didn't. So, then I thought, "well, perhaps there were some files or other things hidden deep in the emac that I needed to remove in order to completely get rid of Safari". So, I went into spotlight and got rid of every last thing that had the word Safari in it.
    I went to apple.com and downloaded Safari 2.0.1. When I tried to install it, I got to the part where you choose where you want to install it and I got the message "You cannot install Safari onto this drive, it requires MacOS 10.4.2. I find this odd, since I have 10.4.6.
    I DO NOT have my emac reboot/startup disk. I have somehow lost it.
    Does anyone have any recommendations for me?
    Thanks, Rich

    smithsfan,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    It sounds as if you trashed some of the Library and even framework files, not just the user preferences. Do you have a separate Restore DVD or an Applications disk? If so, you can use that to reinstall Safari including it's library files, then use the 2.0.1 installer.
    General Safari troubleshooting is in Safari quits unexpectedly
    You can call Apple and ask about ordering a replacement OS disk; with proof of registration (i.e., the serial number inside the optical drawer cover) you can order a replacement for considerablly less than buying a new Tiger Install disk. That would let you use Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4 to reinstall Safari.
    (Worst case, you can always use Firefox as your normal browser --- I do, since I prefer it's sidebar for viewing bookmarks, plus it's a consistient interface when using Firefox on that other computer OS.)

  • I had to reset Firefox and now cannot find the calendar, how do I get it back?

    I was removing files associated with web.longfintuna.com from my PC. I then reset Firefox. When I open Firefox, all my email, bookmarks.etc. are there. However I cannot find the calendar. I had it before and now cannot locate it.

    When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data).
    You will lose extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you've made.
    It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

  • Downloaded latest version of Firefox and now can't open any Excel files

    The problem started right after I downloaded the latest version of Firefox (4?). When I try to open my Excel files I get a Windows error message and then it says that Excel can not find the file.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • Updated Firefox and now can't send messages in Facebook but can if I use other Internet Applications

    Since the update of Firefox, when I try to send messages to friends in Facebook I get an error message stating that "message failed to send". Have not been able to find a work around. Have cleared History (Cookies and Cache). Facebook messages work on our other laptop which has not been updated and if I use other Internet applications like IE, My Opera etc

    Hi,
    You can try updating Java to the latest (7u9) and restart Firefox: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7u9-downloads-1859586.html
    Please make sure to choose either '''Windows x86 Offline''' or '''Windows x86 Online'''.
    If problems persist you can then reset Firefox and start afresh.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    If you would like to take a listing of the add-ons, important preferences/settings etc. to quickly replicate the previous profile, please open '''Troubleshooting Information''' via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H'''), '''Copy all to clipboard''' and paste it into MS Office Excel, or OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc, or notepad. However, it would be a good idea to check for the existence of the issue immediately after the reset.

  • HT201272 Switched to new Mac (10.7.5) and now can't download any iTunes purchases.

    Since I've switched to my new Mac, I can't download any of the (music) purchases I make. (I used a cable between the two Macs to make the original transfer of "all my stuff" from the old Mac to the new, so the iTunes stuff I had then is on the new Mac.)
    I can see the download buttons, but when I push them, it stops it immediately and tells me I don't have the authority to do it.
    I'm the sole person on the iTunes account. It doesn't matter whether I make the purchase on the new or the old computer. I even tried deauthorizing the old computer, so that the only one on the account is the new one, and it still won't let me download what I purchase. I did find something where I originally only had Read privileges, but I added Write as well, so that should be OK. Not sure what else to try.

    OK, I'm replying to my own question, because I've figured it out... sort of.
    It seems that when I transferred computers, it set up my e-mail/Apple ID as a separate user! Why it did this, I have no idea.
    I went into the User folder and found that I was barred from accessing any of the stuff under that ID. It was not enough to simply give myself Read & Write permission; I also had to use the little pulldown under the gear symbol that applied it to all the items IN the folder.
    No idea why It would do this, but now it seems to have downloaded my stuff—at least some of it. (I know that one album is missing a song—?!) I'll have to check more completley later to make sure that it's ALL there.
