I am trying to download Firefox 4 but I get a window that asks me what Firefox should do with this file. I have no idea which program Firefox should use to download the file!! Help!

What should the default program be for downloading this type of file? How can I get Firefox to download these without asking me which program to use?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Firefox 3.6.x can be found here:

I'm trying to download the latest version of firefox. I get a pop up window that asks me what to open it with. I've tried adobe reader 9, acrobate reader 5, and real player. None work

OK, I'll take you through what happens. When I click download firefox 4 I get a pop up window that asks "what should Firefox do with this file?"
Below I have two choices:
_Open with (choose)
_Save File
So I go to choose and pick an application.
So I choose Acrobate Reader 5.0. Acrobate gives me a popup that says "Acrobat could not open firefox 4.0-4.dmg because it is either not a supported file type or because the fire has been corrupted....
So I try download again (I should point out that I am currently running Firefox 3.6.16) The popup that asks me to choose a file to open firefox 4.0.dmg pops up again.
So I choose Adobe Reader 9. Nothing happens. So I cancel.
So what application should I go to to open Firefox 4.0.dmg

When I try to download applications such as Internet Explorer, Yugma, and iTunes in Firefox, I just get a window that says "save" or "cancel", but never one that says "run" so I don't think it's actually installing anything. It shows up in a "download" window, then the icon shows up on my desktop. When I click on it to launch it, it says "open with" and I get the same "save/cancel" window. It's a continuous circle. What am I doing wrong??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I don't know. I never downloaded apps through Firefox until all of a sudden Internet Explorer didn't work. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

What application are you choosing to open the files with?
Because of how integrated it is with windows IE should work. If it's not working, something more widespread could be wrong with your computer that would also prevent other browsers from working properly. Of course we'd love you to stick with Firefox, but you should get help with IE, too.

Ow do I sync a movie downloaded to iTunes, but I get a message that says "cannot sync movie to iPod because this computer is not authorized". What do I do to fix this?

How do I sync a movie downloaded to iTunes, but I get a message that says "Cannot sync movie to iPod because this computer is not authorized"? How do I fix this?

And I assume you have already checked to see if your iTunes purchases are authorized by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer?
Some have been able to resolve this issue by removing the downloaded purchase and redownloading it again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for more information on redownloading past purchases.

I have downloaded firefox but cannot get tv thru Sol Times newspaper, what can I do

I want to watch UK tv via Sol Times Newspaper.
I have downloaded firefox but cannot download the Add-Ons that I have to download so that I can view UK TV. What can I do???
Sadly I am not computer literate and need your help. Many thanks.

You mentioned in a different thread that you cannot download Flash without deleting Internet Explorer. That should not be necessary. Anyway, your "More System Details" shows that you have Flash 12 installed, so you shouldn't need to reinstall it unless we determine that it is really broken.
When on the problem site, do you see a notification icon to the left of the address, up in the address bar? It would look like a piece of Lego. Could you click that and see whether it indicates anything about the status of Flash, or any other plugin?

I use a web site called ACRIS- up until yesterday I could access all parts of the site, including calling up images of deeds. Now I can no longer get the images via firefox, but can them via windows explorer. Why? How do I fix this?

I use a web site called ACRIS- it allows me to access NYC Finance dept records- specifically images of deeds. Up until yesterday I had no problem. Then without any apparent reason I could access all parts of the site, but could not access the deed images. First I thought it was a problem on their end, which sometimes happens, but after waiting 24 hours I was still having the problem. Then I tried windows explorer and it worked without any problem. How do I fix this?

Hi jeffbeal,
First question I would ask is what has changed recently? Did you add any new extensions or add-ons?
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
Hopefully this helps!

I cannot download firefox, when i try i get a window that asks to run as admin or user, i have selected both and when i try the download stops

i have been trying to download firefox, everytime i do i get a window asking me to pick a user, either admin or user, i have tried selecting them and when i hit ok the download is gone

Save the Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double click or trey the right-click context menu and use Run as Administrator
You can find the latest Firefox release here:
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

I can not find firefox after it downloads. I keep getting a box that says I can't run it under this user, when I put in my user name and password it disappears

The download appears to work ,it extracts the files then a box comes up saying I can't run it as this user( with the name of my login),. gives me the option to check my login name or check administer with a password. I have tried both, I am the only administer on the computer. Using windows vista. I have searched and some of the things like turorials etc are on my computer but I can't get the actual browser to open and there is no shortcut for firefox. Currently I am using IE since chrome kept freezing up, so does IE.

Can you give me a screenshot of the User Accounts window in Control Panel?

Help - Disconnected Server Setup: Which program do you use to copy the updates off with?

Hi,
I am in the process of upgrading our Disconnected WSUS Network up.
My new configuration is 1 Server running 2012 Datacentre which hosts our online WSUS server and 1 Windows 7 Enterprise PC (both in a workgroup) in the same subnet which has a bluray "robot" burner to burn the actual updates attached to it.
I have to use physical media due to the security policies in place. My "disconnected" Server is running Server 2008 R2 and is in a domain.
The problem I have is that previously I used ntbackup on our 2003 R2 Internet connected server, created the full or incremental backup as needed and transferred it to our Server 2008 R2 domain computer. I then used the ntbackup tool created for server
2008 to extract the updates. This has worked fine.
I thought with Server 2012 R2 I could just use the Windows Server Backup feature as a direct replacement for Ntbackup and transfer the backup. However when I transfer the backup and attempt to open it on my 2008 R2 server I get a message that the global
catalog is corrupted. I tried this a couple of time to make sure I didn't have bad disc's and to rule out a dodgy burner.
I have now spent the week researching how to fix this and have come to the conclusion that the 2012 backup file is not compatible with the 2008 version of Windows Server Backup.
I have attempted to recover the catalog using http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725765.aspx but don't get the option too. I have also ran up some VM's on my test lab with the same configuration and attempted to transfer a couple of MB and these
failed instead of the 86GB i used initially in work.
Since I failed at this route I have tried to find another program that can accomplish what I need but have reached a dead end. I have tried Rich copy but this fails to copy the ACL's over. I have tried Winrar but I'm not convinced about the ability
to do a full and incremental backups. Have also tried wrysnc but again this didn't work.
Any help with what programs other people use would be very very appreciated.
Thanks
Ray

Hi Ray,
According to your description, are you looking for compression utilities?
Due to this forum is focusing on the issue of WSUS, to get better help, please post your question on the Windows backup forum.
Here is the address,

Besides, why don't you use the removable hard disk? It's quite fast and cheap.

Trying to install Firefox, but keep getting a message that I have to restart computer to finish a previous install of firefox.

I have restarted my computer numerous times and I get the message every time.

Run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).
If that doesn't solve the problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
