How to install firefox instead of explorer on a freash win xp install

I am rebuilding my win xp pro pc after a trojan horse killed it (it was ugly!). I want to avoid installing Internet Explorer at all and install Firefox as my only browser. How can I get a complete installation file so I can run it from a disc and get on the web without any other browser installed on my computer. I don't know if this is possible or not, but I hope it is. The only other computer that I have is a MAC portable and I can't get to Windows possibilities on the Firefox site. Any one got any help for me? thanks, Michael

Open this link in your File Explorer: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.15/win32/en-US/ This is an FTP link and it doesn't require a web browser to work. Once you download the installer ''Firefox_Setup_3.6.15.exe'', you can launch it to install Firefox. See also [[Installing Firefox]] for more details.

How to dissasociate Firefox from Internet Explorer?

I have IE 8 and FF 5 on Win7 machine. Sometimes when I click a link in IE, it brings it up in FF. Also, all IE windows I have open also open in FF. I want to uninstall FF because I really don't use it anymore, but am unsure of the consequences because of the actions taken above. Any ideas?
Thanks much...

Can anyone help with this? It is causing big problems for me.
Thanks greatly..

How to get Firefox to display pdf file in browser (Win 7, FF 19.0, AA 10.1.6, IE 9)?

After Firefox updated to version 19, when I tried to view a pdf file, the file appeared in a strange new viewer. Seemed to work OK, but I was concerned (didn't know that it is apparently a new feature of FF 19), and wanted the Adobe viewer back.
After a few minutes of viewing in the FF pdf viewer, a message appeared that said something like-- This viewer may not be displaying the document correctly. Would you like to use Adobe Acrobat instead?-- I clicked yes.
Now, when I click a link for a pdf file, it will either open automatically in Adobe Acrobat (windows application, not viewer within FF), or I'll get a dialog that asks whether I want to save the file or use Adobe Acrobat to open it.
I have followed the instructions here:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-adobe-reader-plugin-view-or-download-pdf-files?esab=a&s=view+pdf+in+browser&r=0&as=s

Delete the mimetypes.rdf file
Delete the pluginreg.dat file
Let me know if you think I've missed any info that would be helpful. Now that I know the new PDF viewer is FF native, I wouldn't mind trying it out.
Thanks!
Who
repair of Adobe Acrobat
If I start IE and click a pdf link within IE, I can view a PDF file within IE, but who wants IE?

Hi madperson,
It seems like there is some progress. After setting pdfjs.disabled to true, when I click on a pdf link, it still only asks me if I want to open the file with (application list) or save the file. However, when I look at the options dialog>applications, the selection for pdf documents changed from use plugin to use Adobe Acrobat Reader (not plugin). I scrolled through the selection list, but the Adobe plugin was not listed. However, when I look at the add-ons screen, the Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin is listed at the top. So, it seems like the plugin is installed, but firefox doesn't know it's there...somehow.
How do I uninstall the Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin and re-install? Can I just do that? Or, do I need to uninstall/reinstall the entire Adobe Acrobat Reader application?
Thanks

Below is how it is being done. This worked perfectly for years. MS Office 2007 does complain that the file extension does not match the data format (it's a tab delimited text file but I'm pretending it's an Excel file so they'll be prompted to view it as a spreadsheet in Excel) but you just click open and it works fine. This issue with IE is new. Let me know if you have any more ideas.

I cannot use a website I need to use, with Firefox 5.0. So, I need to uninstall and go back to 3.5 or 3.6. Please advise. Also, my control panel locks up since Windows Explorer has pbms. Which is why I am using Firefox instead. Thanks for any help!

''I figured it was going to be FAFSA causing your problem.''
Install Portable Firefox 3.6.x to your hard drive for that one website. It won't affect your current Firefox installation at all. <br />

I am a new Mac user and have just encountered a third part software that does not appear to be supported through Safari; thus I am receiving the following message when I attemt to log onto the system:

Why don't you just download Firefox, 4 through 7 are supported, or if you insist on using Internet Explorer, use Windows.

If you are asking because some site is requesting it, you can "fake" it by changing the User Agent in Safari to IE.

Can also be done in Firefox, using an Add-on. Post back if you want to know how.

[SOLVED] How to install and run (on debian) a separate, downlevel version of firefox for the F5/firepass VPN?

(Note: my problem is similar to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/931534?e=es&as=aaq another current problem] except that
* OP is running windows (I'm running a debian linux)
* OP is asking a more general question (how to fix?) while I'm asking for details on a proposed fix)
I'm currently running
$ lsb_release -ds
Linux Mint Debian Edition
$ cat /etc/debian_version
wheezy/sid
$ uname -rv
3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Mar 4 22:48:17 UTC 2012
$ iceweasel --version
Mozilla Iceweasel 13.0.1
I'd like to continue running an uplevel iceweasel ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation_software_rebranded_by_the_Debian_project which is firefox]) but apparently need to run a downlevel version in order to run a particular vendor-supplied plugin. How best to do that (i.e., with minimal performance degradation, and without affecting my package management)? Or is there another way to solve the general problem (running the F5 Network Access Plugin)? Why I ask:
My employer is giving me remote access via a SecurID token and the F5 Network Access Plugin (F5NAP). The latter is in fact a browser plugin, which seems to me an odd way to implement a VPN, but it's the only offered option. Unfortunately,
* the only browsers supported for linux are Firefox 3 and Firefox 8 (per [http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm_compatibility_matrix_10_2_1.html this]--scroll to "Linux Operating Systems")
* my primary laptop runs LMDE (see above) with Iceweasel 13 (from the mozilla.debian.net repository), which I want to keep. (It's the uplevel browser, dammit !-)
So I first tried to install the F5NAP on my iceweasel, hoping it was sufficiently like the listed versions. I browsed to my employer's site, logged in using the token, and followed the link to install the plugin. Unfortunately, that failed: the xpi began running, but then quit with the message
> F5 Network Access Plugin could not be installed because it is not compatible with Iceweasel 13.0.1
Hoping for a simple workaround, I told the often-useful User Agent Switcher plugin to emulate Firefox 8, but no fix. Hence it seems like I will hafta
* install Firefox 3 or Firefox 8
* run that downlevel browser whenever I want remote access
* run the uplevel browser for everything else
This definitely seems like a kludge, so I am open to alternatives. Meanwhile I'm wondering:
# Which of the F5-supported downlevel browsers (Firefox 3 or Firefox 8) has the smaller memory footprint?
# How to install the downlevel browser so that it does not interfere with my uplevel browser's configuration, operation, and updating via debian package management?
# How to run the downlevel browser so that its operation does not interfere with my uplevel browser? I know firefox typically wants to run singleton.

@[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/160087 verdi]: thanks for your helpful suggestions. The "fix" (actually a kludge, but I gotta work with what F5 and my employer give me) was:
# Install/run latest Firefox 3 (despite there being [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932269 no 64-bit version for linux]) using [https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzDAFHgIxRzKbmJDUGZqTzhfbDg this bash scriptlet].
# Create a [https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzDAFHgIxRzKQjRyQndqUTJpRXM run script] to start firefox so that one can
#* choose the appropriate profile (I was unable to set it from the script without startup error)
#* run multiple instances (I don't want 3.x firefox touching my uplevel profile)
# Run Firefox 3.x with the runner, then point it to my employer's site to install the [http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm_compatibility_matrix_10_2_1.html F5 Network Access Plugin] (restarting firefox as required).
The gnome-terminal tab from which I invoke the runner spews a bazillion "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" errors, but the plugin runs, and I can SSH normally (though more slowly) to servers on the VLAN from another terminal tab.

how to install internet explorer 8 in windows 8 pc.

Hi,
Internet Explorer 8 is not compatible to install in Windows 8/8.1 PC.
As Rob suggested, we could use Internet Explorer 10 (In Windows 8) or Internet Explorer 11 (In Windows 8.1) developer tools to emulate IE8,
Using the F12 developer tools; Or build a Virtual Machine.
Besides, here is the download page:
