Have downloaded firefox update 3 times and it doesn't run

I have just started to use firefox on my pc which has windows 7. I keep getting a message saying I need to update the version of firefox, so I down load it and it says it is downloaded ( I now have it 3 times) but it doesn't run and still keepstellin me I need to upgrade it??? DO I just go back to internet explorer???

Your browser reported to the forum that you are running version 3.6.6. Can you verify that using the Help > About Firefox dialog?
Which file did you download: Firefox 3.6.27 or Firefox 10.0.2?
(If you need to re-download, you can choose from the files on these pages: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all for 10.0.2 or http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older for 3.6.27)
Make sure to close Firefox before launching the installer for the newer version. Do you get any error messages when you start it? It might take a minute for the installer to check itself before you get a dialog.

I have downloaded Firefox 3 times and I still can't open it or get to my mail.

I have an older version of Firefox that comes up every time that I attempt to open the newer version.

This is the Firefox Start Page that was used in Firefox 3.6 and prior versions. 
http://www.google.com/firefox
The '''about:home''' default homepage looks a lot like that older default homepage, but it is missing the Google menu items at the top left-side of the web page, along with the '''''Sign In''''' hyperlink for signing into Google services and the '''''Options''''' "gear button" for setting Google search preferences.
If you want the orange Firefox button to show, instead of the Menu Bar showing, you need to hide the Menu Bar by right-clicking a blank spot on the Menu Bar and de-selecting the Menu Bar by clicking on Menu Bar in that contextual menu.

I have downloaded Firefox 3 times and all I get is the 'google search' page. Why don't I get the Firefox browser page? page

I had Firefox on my old computer and really liked it. I can't remember how I was able to 'mesh' Firefox with my ATT home page. All I have is the 'Google' search page when I open Firefox. The page does not appear to be the same one shown under 'Getting Started', with the various tabs, etc. I'm sure it's something I haven't done correctly but I need help.

google is block in some country. so make sure you are not the citizen of those countries. 2nd, some net admin of some organization will block google for some unsung excuse. so make sure not their reasons. 3rd, if you really could properly get into google days before, try to use "nslookup" to test www.google.com, if it cannot reply a proper ip version 4 address, then it is not the problem of firefox, it is your network connection or networking setting-up problem. so you need a network-engineer-alike buddy to help you. and how to use nslookup, if you can surf online, try another search engine like yahoo.com to get detailed usage of it.
good luck buddy.

Help! I have downloaded Firefox 4 on my Mac which is running OS 10.4.11 and it will not open. It has displaced my previous Firefox 3 . How can I recover previous Firefox (and all my tabs)?

I have downloaded Firefox 4 on my Mac which is running OS 10.4.11 and it will not open. It has displaced my previous Firefox 3. How can I recover my previous Firefox (and all my tabs?)

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

After i have downloaded firefox 9.1 and tried to open it, i get the sentence : it couldn't be prepared properly (default 0xc0150004) and the program does not run

after i have downloaded firefox 9.1 and tried to open it, i get the sentence : it couldn't be prepared properly (default 0xc0150004) and the programm does not run

I couldn't find anything on the error text you posted but I did find lots of google hits on [http://www.google.com/search?q=%22The+application+failed+to+initialize+properly%22+0xc0150004 "The application failed to initialize properly" 0xc0150004]. Is that the error?
In any case, did you try a clean reinstall of Firefox? If not, open the C:\Program Files folder and delete the '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder, if it's there. Next, go to mozilla.org/firefox click the green download button and install a new copy.

I have tried to download firefox 5 times and I never get a toolbar on windows 7.

I have downloaded firefox from the official site several times but when I open the download it does not have a toolbar on top and no back or forward arrows . When I am on a site, if I look at a picture or individual story there is no way to return to the main page. This is using windows 7 and I have plenty of available space.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
You get the orange Firefox menu button when the menu bar is hidden.

*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area

*Firefox menu button > Options

Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.

I have downloaded Firefox update 3 times and continue to be told that I have an uprotected/outdated form and need an update. Why?

I see that others have the same problem, but I see no answers to explain or fix the constant "you need to update your Firefox" request. I am using an HP mini with Windows 7.

For whatever reason, you still have Firefox 3.6. Let's do this:
Go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com]. Download the new Firefox installer. Close Firefox, then run the installer. It will install over Firefox 3.6 and upgrade it. Then, reopen firefox. You should be all up to date now! (If you click on the Firefox button, then go to the arrow next to help, then About Firefox, you can verify you are on version 12

I have downloaded Firefox 4 times, using MSN9 and IE8 browsers. I cannot install Foxfire and everytime I try, I get a "This file is corrupt" message. Suggestions?

Excuse me...I meant Firefox...NOT FOXFIRE. Duh on me. I'm not sure what other details you need? I'm on 56K dialup. Dell PC. Windows XP Professional. I have Malwarebytes and Windows Defender virus protection software, but neither one has alerted me to any type of problem with the your Firefox download file when downloading or attempting to install. I simply get a flyout which reads "Corrupt file." I can only assume it is a Micrsoft Message.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest 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 program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

I have tried to download Firefox multiple times and the welcome screen will not pop up. After download, it remains at the Firefox download page.

I cannot get the welcome screen to pop up so that I can complete the download of Firefox.

After you download '''Firefox Setup 3.6.3.exe''', you must double click on this file. Usually, you can find this either on your desktop or in your Downloads folder.

I have downloaded firefox 4 twice and installed it, and my firefox browser still keeps coming up everytime i open it.

I went through the whole process of downloading the new version, installing it, and then at the end when you press launch firefox, the old browser version still comes up. I have done this twice already and do no understand what the problem is.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See:
* [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
You may also need to check your security software (firewall) and make sure that it doesn't block Firefox.
See:
* [[Server not found]]
* [[Firewalls]]

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 to see if this helped you!
