I can download firefox, but when I try to run it, windows 7 asks me to select a program type to run the *.exe file

I am running windows 7 with IE 10. I want to switch to Firefox as my browser. I am able to download the Firefox Setup 22 0 exe, but when I try to open or run it, windows prompts me to "choose the program you want to use to open this file". This happens with both the Firefox Setup Stub 22 0 exe (274kb) and the Firefox Setup 22 0 exec (21,239Kb). I can't find any program on Windows to run this exe. Same thing happens when I try to run the troubleshooter exe.

Hello annsboland
Do you have also problem with others exe files ?
try to create a new user account in Windows 7 and check it again

thank you

Uninstall the Inbox Toolbar, following steps here:
http://toolbar.inbox.com/faq.aspx?faqid=2876&faqmod=WST_Install#1
Then retry opening Firefox.
You can also try opening Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] (use Continue in Safe Mode first).
If that works, reopen Firefox Safe Mode, but use the dialog option to '''Restore default search engines''' as shown at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode#Safe_Mode_window and press the '''Make changes and restart''' button.

Make sure you are using the most recent version of iTunes and QuickTime. They both can be downloaded free of charge.
If your iTunes is up to date, remove the SC Info folder.

I downloaded Firefox but when I try to open it - I get the following error message: Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessable."

I have had firefox on my computer but last night my granddaughter seems to have loaded Yahoo - and my firefox was missing. I went online and attempted to download it again. I uninstalled the Yahoo but cannot get the Firefox to open. It does seem to download successfully. I removed everything Yahoo from my computer but one thing will not uninstall - that is Yahoo!BrowsePlus2.9.8 I did return my browser to explorer until I can get firefox back up

I downloaded Firefox but when I try ro use the site it does not do anything, just ask the question, do you want to restore the last session, what do you suggest I try?

I have repeated the download trying to solve the problem but I get the same results. I used to have Firefox and used it all the time, I do not know how I lost it, but one day the browser just quit. The bookark, favorite works just not the browser.

On the second issue, please see this thread on how to determine the cause of the JavaScript error: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/729606 Javascript pop errors stating: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help]
On the first issue, I haven't associated single letters with sites, so I'm not sure how that feature works. I usually type a few letters then arrow down or click on the one I want.

My LR will load but when i try to load PS it asks for a key code.. i have purchases the CC

Ok, Below is what worked for me somewhat.
Okay ... try downloading and saving a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe to your PC from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now download a trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.php
Open the iTunesSetup.exe with WinRAR, and try to run the standalone install of Apple Application Support from the AppleApplicationSupport.msi you find in there.
It works now BUT there are still problems. It is not allowing or recognizing my Cd/DVD player and i CANT burn. Looking still for this fix.

Contact iTunes support. Only they can fix this.

I am unable to successfully install itunes 10.5. I can download it, but when I go to install the program it says that a program could not be run and it won't give the name of the program. I have the vista 64-bit system.

That would be my first guess. You might be trying to install the 32 bit version of the program.
Update the thread with more info on your apple software etc if its a 64 bit install you're trying to perform.

Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.

Hi Pat. I've done that, it opens up the install window again. If I click on install it says it's already installed. Nothing comes up that allows me to accept the end user agreement. I just retried and the same thing happens.
I appreciate your help.
