How do I add Firefox to my docking station so I don't have to open every time I click on the icon?

Firefox 3.6 was on my docking station on my mac all this time. When I saw the pop up for Firefox 4 and its features, I downloaded v.4 this morning but when I try to open the browser, I always have to go through the same step of "opening" the newer version rather having the browser open automatically.

Hi JoAnn,
After you opened the download, you should see a small window with a blue background showing a Firefox 4 icon and an "Applications" icon.
Quit out of all versions of Firefox, then find that window and drag the Firefox icon into the Applications icon. (This moves the new version into your Applications folder).
Once that's done, then clicking the icon on your Dock should launch the new version from the Applications folder.
Hope that helps,
--Jono Xia, Mozilla

  • How do i keep youtube video maximised, while i work on other monitor. (it minimalizes itself every time i click on the other monitor).

    I like to learn things from youtube tutorials.. but the window there is small, so i want to maximise it on my old smaller monitor and work on my other. (like blender tutorials.. where i need to model on main monitor while i watch how to do it on smaller one)
    Problem is, every time i click on my main monitor, maximised youtube video minimases.
    So what do i do to stop this from happening?
    Thank you for answering my guestion. :-)

    From what I've seen I think the labels you use linux, either. The solution I think would be to open Firefox on the desktop, and let it open on that desktop on the monitor you want and then the other task in another desktop on the other monitor.
    Hope that helps, greetings!!

  • After I updated to yosemite my iMovie will not open.  I have found the folders in the applications for both versions 9 and 10 but neither one opens when I double click on the icon.  How do I remedy this?

    After I updated to yosemite my iMovie will not open.  I have found the folders in the applications folder for both versions 9 and 10 but neither one opens when I double click on the icon.  How do I remedy this?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

    A quick alternative to email.
    Copy the files onto a USB drive. Make sure that "Ignore permissions on this drive" is set. (Get Info on the drive from Finder).
    Then copy them from the drive to the destination user account.

  • I updated Firefox, now every time I click on the Dock image my Mac reloads the disc image on my desktop and tells me this is the first time I've tried to open the program. What's going on? This is very annoying.

    I contacted Sony, who spent 90 minutes trying to help me fix this, to be told it is a problem with the program, not the computer. I have deleted every trace of the program then reloaded it, three times, with the same results every time. This all started when I added a bunch of 'extras' from Mozilla. These 'add-ons' remain in the program when it is reloaded, so they may be the problem.

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
    Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

    Error opening file for writing…
    If you receive the above error when launching Firefox on a Windows system, you may be required by Firefox to log in as an administrator. You can either reboot the computer or, if you have an administrator account, you can execute the program as an administrator.
    Find the firefox.exe program file in the Firefox application folder on your system.
    Right-click the icon.
    Select Run As Administrator…. Select The following user:. From the User name drop-down, select Administrator or another user that has administrator privileges. Enter the password required to log in to this account. Click OK.

  • HT201740 How do you open Preview? I click on the icon and nothing happens

    How do you open Preview? I see it in Finder and click on it, then I see it in the dock and click on it. I go to file open and click. Nothing happens.
    Thanks!

    Quit Preview.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following.
    Containers/com.apple.Preview
    Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist
    Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState

  • On my IPad Air there is a red bar that says Google Recording at the top if I have Google open and I double click on the button at the bottom of the I Pad.  Is this eating up my battery and how do I get rid of it?  I am a novice.

    On my IPad Air there is a red message at the top of the Google screen that says Google recording. Is this eating up my battery and how do I turn it off?  I am very much a novice.

    Google is using your microphone.
    Go to Settings>Privacy>microphone.
    Find "Google" in the list of apps on at that page. Remove permission for that App.
