I am trying to download Firefox and it gets to about 95% done and then it stops.

I tried updating Firefox but it kept getting to around 95% done and then it just stopped. After about 10 minutes it would say that it could not download and to try from the site. I tried uninstalling Firefox to do a clean install like someone said online and I am still having the problem. I have tried using 2 different browsers to download it and it still gets almost there and then just stays there. Any help would be amazing

Are you downloading the "full" installer from this page: [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/]? If you are getting the "stub" installer, or choosing "Run" instead of save, try saving the full installer to the desktop and running it from there.
Also, if you haven't shut down and restarted Windows since this problem began, please try that in case there are some Windows Installer issues like an accumulation of queued updates or crashed component.

  • I tried to download Firefox and my antivirus stopped it and kept it from loading. WHY?

    I tried downloading a newer version of Firefox and my antivirus stopped the download saying it found viruses. How can an upgrade on the Mozilla website contain viruses? Why can't I download it?
    Thanks.

    Your anti-virus software might have a problem with the small stub installer.
    Try this instead:
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    *Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon

    Download them to iTunes abd then sync the apps. Make an appointment with Apple and see what the problem is.

  • Trying to download Firefox and as soon as the "run" box appears Explorer shuts down.

    Using Explorer, I'm trying to download Firefox. As soon as the run dialog box opens, Explorer shuts down. What do I need to do to download Firefox.

    Does that happen with anything you try to download in IE, not just when downloading Firefox?
    We are unable to help you troubleshoot or find solutions to IE problems on this forum; this forum is for issues with Firefox only. You will more likely get an answer by posting your question regarding the problem with IE crashing at the following site, then follow the instructions above for downloading and installing Firefox.

  • Trying to download firefox and it comes up as Extraction Failed. File Corrupt.

    Ive been trying to download firefox for two days now. When its done getting the setup file i open it and it Says the file is corrupt. Ive tried numerous things. Norton says less then 5 people have this version. Is it my computer or the site?

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

  • I tried to download FireFox and when I hit the second run to start it an error message appeared stating the file could not be extracted why?

    I did the download for FireFox and when the download was complete a screen appeared asking me to run the program. I clicked on run but at 14% it said file could not be extracted error message. I don't understand why this happened and what do I do now?
    thank you
    Linda

    Don't try to run the program directly when downloading with IE, but save the Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double click on the desktop icon.

  • I have tried to download Firefox, and my screen shows Firefox setup 3.6 at the bottom. How do I get Firefox? I can never get beyond the set up and information screen.

    I downloaded Firefox 3.6. It asks me if I want tot save it. I enter save. Then it goes to the introduction to the features of Firefox. How do I go beyond that. Also, if I leave the site, ie-get off the internet, then get back on later, the website again asks me if I want to download and save Firefox 3.6.

    After you download '''Firefox Setup 3.6.3.exe''', you must double click on this file. Usually, you can find this either on your desktop or in your Downloads folder.
    Your Downloads folder is located inside Documents.

  • Everytime I download Firefox and then try to run it, I get a "file corrupted" message.

    After downloading Firefox 6, I have tried to run Firefox 6 on three different computers and each time I get a message "file is corrupt". I tried it on different computers because I thought maybe there was a problem with the computer that I downloaded it on, but I get the same result. What am I doing wrong?

  • I have tried to download updated and then reinstall itunes and neither work

    I tried to download the new update for itunes and my PC will not successfully download

    Do the following:
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.

  • I tried to download firefox and I keep getting the error message "I E 8" cannot open this page-site cannot be found or unavailable. Can you offer some suggestions.

    The Download banner comes up and appears to be laoding, but it later fails-out/errors out with the above message..."site not available, page can't be opened. Any thoughts on how to fix?

    Hi!
    It sounds like you're having trouble with Firefox for Desktop. I'd recommend contacting the Firefox for Desktop support forum here: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/desktop https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/desktop]; they'll be more knowledgeable and better able to answer your questions than the volunteers here at the Firefox OS forum.
    I hope that helps you!

    I  need help setting up my iso 5 i just keep getting an error message after its already fully loaded, it says error with network.

    If you have a Windoze PC, try temporarily disabling the antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is running and required with that secure OS before beginning the download.

  • I tried to download Firefox on my new Asus, and my Titanium Anti Virus program said it was unsafe; what's up with that?

    I just purchased and Asus laptop, using Windows 8. I tried to download Firefox, and was warned (by Titanium) of all types of viruses, etc. etc.. I therefore deleted everything . What is this all about? I have been using Firefox on this computer for some time now and have not encountered any problems.

    This may be a false positive.
    Did you check the support forum for your software to see if this has been reported by others?
