If you want to open it confirm that you do. You will not be asked that question again after the first time you open it
Unless you are keeping Firefox in the .dmg it was downloaded in. That is to say, if you obtained Firefox in a .dmg, and you have kept the .dmg mounted, and are launching Firefox from the mounted .dmg, then you will ALWAYS get that warning. You should copy Firefox from the mounted .dmg to your Applications Folder (or anywhere you prefer), and then eject the mounted .dmg. Unless you need to install Firefox on another system, you can then delete the .dmg.

How do I stop click-thru "'Firefox' is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"?

Every single time I launch Firefox 20 under Mac OS X 10.7.5 I get the click-thru warning message "'Firefox' is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?". How do I stop this? There are internet postings and previous postings about solving this using Terminal commands for OS X 10.5.x & 10.6.x, but these commands do NOT work in 10.7.x or 10.8.x. This seems to be a Firefox ONLY issue, and solving it by globally turning off OS X security features as recommended before in a previously closed thread seems like a really BAD solution. Is there a "Firefox only" solution, or will I just have to stop using Firefox?

I had upgraded to Firefox 20 using the automatic update process, so the last time I'd downloaded a .dmg and manually installed Firefox was a long time ago. I trashed Firefox 20, downloaded a new .dmg and manually transferred to Applications folder and this persistent message ended. I assume if I'd ever launched from the open .dmg the same error message would result, so the fix offered was a solution even though the cause was something different since I only used the automatic update process and never manually handled Firefox .dmg downloads.

WZZZ,
Thanks, the following command (ran as root) worked for me!
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app
Chrome is set to start on launch, so I'd get the following warning on every start/restart

Get rid of the "*app name* is software downloaded from the internet" popup

Hey so I downloaded Chrome and Firefox, and whenever I open them it says "Chrome (or) Firefox is software downloaded from the internet on *date here*. Are you sure you want to open it?"
Theres no checkbox to say "Do not ask me again", so is there a way to get it to NOT ask me again?
All help is appriciated,
thanks.

Are you launching those apps from a different user account than the account that downloaded them?
From
About file quarantine in Mac OS X v10.5 and v10.6
If you have multiple user accounts on your Mac, the user account that downloaded the file is the only user account that can remove the quarantine attribute to the file. All other user accounts can open the quarantine file, but they will be presented with the quarantine dialog box asking "Are you sure you want to open it?" every time they open the file.

How can I fix my Firefox browser so that PDF files from the Internet do not blur and go out of focus?

When I try to open a PDF document from the Internet, it opens, with sharp resolution; however, within a few seconds, it blurs and seems to have multiple copies being shown on top of each other (ever so slightly mis-aligned). Yet, when I use any other browser, the document opens without losing sharpness.
Also, opening a saved PDF document in Adobe Reader does not cause any loss of sharpness.
Running updated Windows XP; Adobe Reader updated; and Firefox updated.

Firefox's built-in PDF viewer overlays a transparent layer of text over a graphical image so you can copy/paste. It doesn't always line up pixel-perfectly, so if the text is not transparent for some reason, you will see double text.
Could you try switching to the Adobe Acrobat plugin? This article has the steps: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]. Does that one work correctly?

"Firefox.app" is an application which was downloaded from the Internet...

This is a topic that has been posted before but I'm creating a new one because the previous discussion is closed and none of the answers solved my problem.
Each and every time I launch Firefox, I receive the following warning, - “Firefox.app” is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"
For the record, I have tried the following fixes with no success:
- Removed the Firefox folder from user/library/application support both as a user and as an admin.
- I logged in to the Mac as an admin. and launched Firefox. The message continues to pop up after doing this, while still logged in as admin.
- I logged in to the Mac as an admin, went to Terminal and listed the attributes. The "com.apple.quarantine" attribute does exist, however, when I tried removing it with (xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <FILE NAME>), I am told that the attribute DOESN'T exist. Huh?
I am trying to avoid completely removing Firefox and doing a fresh install but it may come down to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I had a similar problem with another application. I downloaded an update to an application from the developer, and then got this message every time I ran the program. There's a script to disable this behavior entirely on MacWorld's macosxhints site.
I didn't want to disable this behavior for good, just for this one program. I realized that I had downloaded it as one user, but the first use (of the update) was as a different user. I logged in under the user ID that I used when I downloaded the application and ran the program. After that, the warning went away.
My guess is that you did something similar. Log in as the user ID you used when you first downloaded the updated FireFox and run the program. The warning should go away.
If you can't remember which user ID you used, try the brute force approach - log in as each of your user IDs and run FireFox.
Good luck!

How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

Disabling that"..is an application which was downloaded from the Internet."

Downloaded Camino and use it. Now I do not want that warning anymore on every start. I do not give **** how Apple rates security of the file. I know the application is safe so I want to click some checkbox to disable warning on Camino start:
'“Camino” is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?'
The only unsafe Camino is to Safari as recent version of Safari is really troubled with hick-ups and freezes while Camino seems to be very similar except that it does not have those issues Safari has.

It is really Microsoft way. Can Apple get rid of that troll recenly hired in the company that makes Mac OS X now look like piece of... art that behaves so obnoxiously to a user? I cannot guess where Apple got those new ideas, but they definitelly look like some transplant from Vista and XP obnoxiousness. The only what comes to my mind is some folks that were contracted or hired from Microsoft. Shortsighted with narrow vision and lack of basic education on ergonomics of any user interface.
Hey Apple I dropped Windows because of that! Why do you do this to me now?

Okay. It looks like when copying from mounted .dmg file to Applications folder one needs to start Camino on that account and say once to allow start. This has to be done on account that was used to copy the file from downloaded .dmg.
In my scenario, I have administrative account which is separate from users (and of course my own as I am not administrator daily). So Camino was bothering me until I went to administator account and started Camino once. Apparently it had to make some writings into hidden system files to rememeber the choice and the choice was made across accounts.
I remember that similar issues were in Final Cut Express: you had to start the application from administrative account (the one that you used to install the application) once and after that you could easily go and use the application on other accounts at any time.
Looks like this is some sort of pattern which I considered ill as user really should not need to do that pointless start on account that is not supposed to be used for the application. Installation account and use account should be interpretted as two separate with no overlap of preferences. Now this issue was in FCE,but as far as Camino... it sounds like Apple extends this lame pattern to security control and internal system preferences.

How do I get downloads from the internet to open in something other then text edit?, How do I get downloads from the internet to open in something other then text edit?

Lots of times when I download files from the internet like games or something they will open up in text edit. When it comes up its just a bunch of letters and numbers, it won't actually run the application. How do I get the file to open up correctly and actually run?

Hi, do you have a link to one of these you downloaded that does this?
Basically you, in the Finder, do a Get Info on it, look for Open With & choose the proper application, but might these be Windows® only games?

"Firefox" is an application which was downloaded from the Internet - Open?

Everytime I go to open up programs (for example, firefox) I get a dialog box like this:
“Firefox” is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?
Underneath it says "AppFresh downloaded this file on May 3, 2009". These programs are installed via an administrator, but I don't want to have to click yes every time on my standard account. What can I do?

Peter:
I don't want to have to click yes every time on my standard account.
As noted in earlier posts, you should get that message the first time you launch firefox or any other downloaded application. If you get the message each time, for some reason the computer thinks it is the first time you are launching the application. Are you sure that the application is installed in the application folder? Or are you launching from the .dmg each time? If you are,
double click on the .dmg file.
When it opens drag the icon to the Applications folder and it will be permanently installed. You will need to authenticate to install, but you should not have to authenticate each time you launch the application.
Drag any icon that you have in the Dock to the Desktop
Then launch the application.
If you want to keep it on the dock click and hold on the icon
Select Keep in Dock in the pop-up menu.

This message has not been fully downloaded from the server

When opening an email in Microsoft Outlook 2007, a co-worker’s laptop occasionally receives this message: “This message has not been fully downloaded from the server. Would you like to mark it for download?”. It’s an IMAP account that syncs with his new iPhone 4S. He never received this message when he had a BlackBerry.
From reading online posts, the problem could be how the iPhone downloads the emails. One suggested resolution was to change when the emails/incoming messages delete from the server; however, my co-worker likes the fact that once he deletes an email from Outlook, it’s deleted from his iPhone and vice versa.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Thanks, iPhone newbie

I get that message too. Its not a bug - its a "feature". I only get it if the e-mail contains a bunch of graphics etc which makes the e-mail much bigger than a "standard" text only one. I guess its there so you have the choice to download the rest of it or not. Saves you money if you are charged for data downloads.

Install it directly from Adobe. Ensure that you use the uninstaller before installing.
