How can I download Firefox 4.o to upgrade from Firefox 3.6.16, if after following all instructions the 2-minute download process is completed, but the download window is empty, and Version 4.0 is not installed?

A pop-up box in the lower right corner of the screen says the download is complete. But a search of the entire hard drive does not locate the files. I've tried restarting Firefox, restarting Windows---and even shutting down and restarting the computer---after each attempt at downloading, with no different results. I've also tried disabling other programs like V-Tuner and Eudora before downloading. I have no trouble downloading other files, including my original installation of Firefox plus the upgrades. My current version of Firefox (3.6.16) is still working just fine; I tried to upgrade only because 4.0 was announced on-screen today, and I thought I might as well have the latest thing. My operating system is Windows 2000, which I see listed as compatible.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

    If you are using the old Firefox Start Page - http://www.google.com/firefox - Google has something messed up on that page. I'm starting to wonder if they are charging Mozilla for the click-thru's to the Firefox download page??
    The new default Firefox Start Page / homepage - '''about:home''' - doesn't give users that incorrect message.

  • Firefox will not load Java in Linux - even after following all instructions on net I can find - what am I doing wrong??

    The problem I've got is I'm currently running Puppy Linux on my laptop.
    Now I've tried everything I can to get Java working under either Firefox, Chromium or Seamonkey (I have all three browsers on my computer).
    For firefox and seamonkey I have tried the following -
    downloaded the tar.gz file for java
    unpacked it to /opt/java
    gone to /user/lib/mozilla/plugins and run the command
    ln -s /opt/java/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
    to create the symbolic link to the plugin
    checked that the plugin is executable (actually even tried giving everything full permission to read/write and execute it)
    For Chromium done a similar thing but put the symbolic link in /usr/lib/chrome-linux/plugins folder instead.
    Restarted the web browser, even tried restarting X Server in case the browser is running somewhere in the background.
    All three browsers can pick up all the other .so plugins in that folder except Java.
    When I click check plugins on firefox I get to the page about "Missing Java? - For your safety Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version".
    However the version I've downloaded is Version 7 Update 9 which is exactly the same one that is available as the latest version from Java themselves (it was only downloaded from that link a couple of minutes before, I've even tried re-downloading it just in case there has been an update within those 5 minutes).
    If I go into the Java folder and run ControlPanel the Java control panel pops up and it knows where Java is installed and everything.
    So what on earth is going on? Am I installing the plugin in the right directory? I'm guessing so as that is where all the other plugins are stored and Firefox, Chrome and Seamonkey are picking all the others up fine, or could there be an older version of Java lurking around somewhere on my system that Firefox, Seamonkey and Chrome are all trying to use?
    I've also tried downloading the RPM and installing that into the /usr/java folder and replacing the symlink from /opt/java to the one in the /usr/java folder and still nothing.
    I just really can't understand it 'cos it's picking up all the other plugins like Gecko and even installed Flash in the same way and that works fine.

    Thanks cor-el looks like Oracle need to update their linux installation instructions then. If only I'd have known that before doing all sorts to get it working.
    I now have Java in Firefox, Chrome and Seamonkey :) :) :) :) :).

  • How can I get my data on my homepage from Firefox 3.6 to 4.0?

    I downloaded the update to Firefox 4.0 and now much of my data does not show up on my homepage, e.g. My stock portfolio is completely missing and when I press "Menu" to make changes or refresh it doesn't work at all. This is also true on all places where there is a "Menu" button.
    How can I correct this situation?
    Thanks, Jim Smothers

  • How can I transfer/copy my entire iPhoto library from one iMac to another iMac whilst keeping all the folders and subfolders intact?

    We recently purchased a new iMac for our office (8 GB memory, 2.7 processor, version 10.9.2) and we need to copy the iPhoto library from our other iMac (version 10.9.4) onto the new one. The photos are essential for our work and there are around 53,000 of them all organised into folders and subfolders and then the photos are manually ordered within the albums.
    We have tried connecting the computers but when we tried to access the iPhoto library on the new iMac it says that iPhoto is locked and we do not have permission to view it. We updated iPhoto on the old iMac as we thought that might be the problem but the message still appears. We've been advised to use an external hard drive but we're worried that will corrupt the organisation of the library. We have also been told not to do it over AirDrop / the Server because of the sheer quantity of photos.
    Any advice on how to safely do this would be much appreciated.

    No idea exactly what you did
    if you followed the instructions
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    then you have exactly the same thin on your new system that you had on the old
    If you do something differently - like import the library instead of simply opening it - then it will not work
    did you dimply drag the iPhoto library from the pictures folder of the old machine to the pictures folder of the new machine and then launch iPhoto on the new machine?
    and to help it is important to use word correctly since that is the only communications method we have - in iPhoto folders do not contain photos - you view photos in events and you can organize them using albums (which view photos) and folders (which hold either albums or other folders - folders never have photos in them) so your description of the problem is not at all clear since it uses folders incorretly

  • How can I remove a mobile as a machine from firefox sync?

    I have 3 Windows PCs and an android phone, all running the latest firefox versions. All of them participate in firefox sync.
    Now, on the windows version, there is an option to disable/remove a machine from participation in syncing. This actually means that the relevant account is removed from the firefox sync servers.
    What is the equivalent on the Android version? I can see that there is an enable/disable sync toggle, but does this actually delete the mobile account as a machine from the firefox sync server storage?

  • How can I turn OFF my Yahoo email password from Firefox memory. since it was hacked last week.

    Some time ago I let Firefox remember my Yahoo email username and password. Last week someone hacked into my Yahoo email account and used my email address list to send out lots of yucky spam to them. I have changed my Yahoo password, but now, just for safety's sake, I want to have that password blank whenever I sign in. How do I toggle the Firefox memory OFF so that it doesn't remember my new Yahoo name and password? I would prefer to log that name and password in myself from now on.

    I'm back on Firefox 13.01 and the webmail and Yahoo Home page appear to be sorted.
    From another similar problem, I learned that going into Tool/Options - Network Settings, and changing the proxy setting from AutoDetect Proxy to Use System Proxy, or No Proxy gets rid of the password pop-up problem.
    I've been using 13.01 for the last 10 minutes or so, with Yahoo as my home page, and I've ended and started FF five or six times, and each time, my it went straight to my homepage without requesting a password. E-mail looks to be working fine as well.

  • How can I easiest migrate my settings when upgrading from CC - CC 2014

    Have upgraded several times before (CS5 -> CS6 for example) where settings such as workspace, keyboard shortcuts, actions etc. were easily migrated.
    Now, with Creative Cloud, I would assume an even more seamless upgrade. I was a bit disappointed by the whole concept of installing a *new* app ("Photoshop CC 2014", alongside "Photoshop CC"). But even more disappointed when I saw none of my app settings were migrated.
    Is this a "feature" or me doing something wrong?
    (I would hope the latter, but afraid this is a feature after I talked to a guy on support chat)

    There was a lot of discussion on this one. Adobe wrote sync of settings only work between dot releases, see: Photoshop Help | Sync settings using Adobe Creative Cloud
    Considerations: Migration and Sync Settings
    Sync Settings synchronizes settings between installations of the same major version of Photoshop. For example, settings are synchronized between a Photoshop CC version 15.0 installation and a Photoshop CC version 15.1 installation.
    Sync Settings does not synchronize settings across installations of different Photoshop major versions. For example, Photoshop CC version 14.1 settings are not synchronized with an installation of the 2014 release of Photoshop CC (15.0).
    Migrate settings from one major version to another
    You can migrate presets/settings from one major version of Photoshop to another in one of the following two ways:
    When you first launch the newer version of Photoshop, you are prompted to migrate the presets/settings. Choose Yes.
    At any point in time, select Edit > Presets > Migrate Presets to migrate settings.
    For more information, see Preset migration. 
       Note:
    The main preference file is not migrated as part of presets migration.
    This was discussed for example by other users in the topic: Syncing settings from CC to CC2014

  • Please Help... i lost my macbook and there are so many accounts that haven't been logged out yet. how can i block my old macbook? (block from everything)

    There are so many accounts that haven't been logged out yet. how can i block my old macbook? (block from everything like it cant be used at all again)

    It should be unnecessary to point out that leaving one's computer logged into anything that requires security is foolhardy. The reason there's a login process is so you will have the opportunity to log out and thereby secure your account. Failing to do so completely defeats the purpose and leaves you wide open to catastrophic consequences.

  • Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

    Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

    It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
    Here is what I have tried...
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.
