How can I get FF to run install apps?

When I click on a download link for a upgrade app (.exe file) in IE, I am given the option of running or saving the file. I usually just run it.
In FF, I am not given the "Run" option, so I have to save it, then navigate to it, run it, and remember to delete it.
Is there some option I can set to get it to allow me to just run the program and not have to save it?

I'm sure that IE also downloads and saves the file somewhere (probably in the cache or in %temp%), but you probably won't notice it.
You need to remember downloads to be able to use the above posted steps.

How can I get Flash Player and install it?

I29/Aug/2010 17:37
TO: Adobe Forum
I am running Windows XP Home, and using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 as my browser.
When I go to download and install the latest version of Flash Player, the ONLY option I get is to quit. In other words, I cannot download and install Flash Player. This even occurs at Adobe's own website.
How can I get Flash Player and install it?
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Barry Karas

First, you can manually download the installer here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Second. On both my Mac (OS 10.6.4) and My PC (Vista Home Premium) I have had nothing but trouble with Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash player, Flash apps and Flash sites that require access to web cam or microphone or both.
The last time Flash Player worked well with Firefox was 3.6.4, but I uninstalled 3.6.8 and went all the way back to 3.0 on both systems.
Just a heads up. If you download the manual installer, and it still doesn't work, it ISN'T the Flash Player. It's Firefox. IE, Opera and Safari all work with it.
Go to oldversion.com and get an older build of Firefox, uninstall 3.6.8, install the older one, go to Tools, and Options and turn off automatic checking for updates, so it doesn't try to take you back the the 3.6.8 "busted @$$ joint" that doesn't work worth poo.
Maybe when they release 3.7, Firefox will have their act together with Adobe and Flash Player.

Hello to all
another option is to download and install the portable firefox version from the next link, if you want to use it occasionally : http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./
portable version is more flexible, and you can delete it any time without worries
please read the [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2249039 ultimate guide from '''the-edmeister''']

how can i get this software to install? there are no product keys on the dvd sleeves

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See:

IPod Nano 2nd Generation is requesting 4 digit code. I have never set a lock code. What is this and how can I get my Nano running again?

There is no other way to bypass the combintation lock other than to connect the nano to iTunes and restore it to factory settings, erasing all content and settings from the iPod.

I recently had my cracked iPhone 4 screen fixed, the lady who did it told me my light sensor was broken.. How can I get a new one installed?? i noticed there was something wrong when I talk on the phone it will mute, hold or speaker the calls. It's very annoying how can I fix the light sensor

Was your cracked screen fixed by an Authorized Apple Service Provider? I may be wrong, but I didn't think they fixed such things.
Regardless of who fixed it, and whether it was an authorized repair or not, I recommend bringing it back to the agency that fixed it in the first place. But note if the repairing agency is not authorized by Apple, you may not want to spend much more money on repairs there for this unit.

How can I get a refund from an App that I bought?

How can I get a refund from an app that I bought? I bought an app called Package for MS Office on the 8th of January and I also reported a problem and they have not got back to me with a response. It has been 3 weeks now and I am still waiting for a reply back. Very disappointed.

I have now got an openoffice which I got from the internet. But the main thing is I paid £20.99 for this app and It is irriatting that the people who work for apple havent got back to me when I first reported a problem. I reported to them again and hoping that they will eventually get back to me.

How can I get Firefox 4 tot install on my Mac OS 10.5.8 ?

Firefox asked me to download the latest version, 4.0. I clicked "install" but received a message that my Mac is running on an OS version that is too old. I checked Firefox to see which version Firefox 4 runs on and it says Mac OS 10.5. My Mac is running on OS 10.5.8. How can I get the latest version of Firefox to install? Thanks.

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor; your system is a PPC Mac.

The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 (which you have installed) still supports the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

I still can't get it to work that way. I changed my cfexecute to:
<cfexecute name="C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" arguments="/c C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\#cmd_filename#" outputFile="C:\testoutput.txt" timeout = "90"></cfexecute>
And I changed my bat file to have:
<cfsavecontent variable="cmd_content">
cd\
TSC.exe /s "#newString#" C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\#FileName# Mary (for Telephone)
</cfsavecontent>
The output file is showing:
C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\bin>cd\
C:\>TSC.exe /s "3.....P.....4.....Z.....8.....U.....7.....X....." C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\3P4Z8U7X-105724.wav Mary (for Telephone)
I still can't get it to run the exe. I have watched the process list while running this and the exe doesn't show up. I tried cfexecute on the exe directly before trying the bat method, with hard coded arguments, and it still didn't work. I am so lost right now this makes no sense to me.

What is an 'SPL-2.dmg' file and how can I get it (the driver) installed?

subject line is question

*My question to Samsung:*
"SCX-4200 driver for Mac OSX.5.5
After downloading the driver from
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/download/supportDownDetail.do?group=&type=&sub type=&modelnm=SCX-4200&language=&cate_type=all&mType=DR&dType=D&vType=L&cttID=2047002&prd_i a_cd=06010300&dispnm=SCX-4200,
the following error message is displayed: 'The following disc images failed to mount - image: SPL2.dmg; reason: not recognised.'
Please advise."
*The reply from Samsung:*
Thank you for contacting us regarding your SCX-4200 and the recent issue you have experienced.
It is difficult to say why this error may have occurred, it may be that the file has been corrupted during transfer. You should try deleting this file again and re-downloading it or possibly even try downloading the file from an alternate location such as below -
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=uk&C ttFileID=2047002&CDCttType=DR&ModelType=N&ModelName=SCX-4200&VPath=DR/200810/200 81028145509765/SPL2.dmg
Should you wish to discuss this issue further, please feel free to call our IT Helpdesk on 0845 726 7864 quoting your reference number."
*Having tried all that, I did phone them, only to be fobbed off, +'Try re-installing from the CD you got with your printer. If that doesn't work it must be their ([Apple's]) problem.'+*
My MacBook is trying to mount it, according to right-click 'Get Info', using DiscImageMounter, which only returns the error message (above), 'The following disc images failed to mount - image: SPL2.dmg; reason: not recognised.' Disc Utility doesn't tell me much more. What should I do with it?
My printer (Samsung SCX-4200) clicks and warms up when it's sent a command to print, but that's the end of it - it won't do anything else, which is why I went looking for the driver in the first place. Note the Samsung Download Centre site at _http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/download/supportDownDetail.do?group=printsolut ions&type=printsolutions&subtype=monomultifunctionproducts&modelnm=SCX-4200&disp_nm=SCX-4200&language=&cate_type=all&mType=DR&dType=D&vType=L&ct tID=2047002&prd_ia_cd=06010300 says this driver was updated/uploaded 28/10/2008, but I can't get the **** thing to install. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Probably also worth noting: the printer works fine with Windows on my MacBook's BootCamp partition.
