I can install, but not run, firefox 4 on windows 7 fire edition. can you help?

.....

I use XP not Windows 7, but the current user and the administrator may be subtly different. I do not use Windows 7 and can not advise but just be aware you may not necessarily see the top level administrator account easily (See for instance ---> [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744293%28WS.10%29.aspx MS link] : <-- clickable link --- ''"Enable and Disable the Built-in Administrator Account"'' )
I am not certain I understand what a ''fire edition'' is, unless this is a reference to Firefox 4.
I would not expect that you would normally need a password run or use the browser Firefox 4, although you probably need a login name and a password to login to and start using your Operating System account in Windows 7. Obviously you can not start Firefox without using an Operating System - such as Windows 7. You may need a password and a login to make full use of this current forum, the Firefox Support messageboard.
Presumably at the moment you are using Internet Explorer 8, as your browser.
Have you tried reading the linked articles I mentioned in my first post, the light blue text are links, and should open ok with Internet Explorer.

    I was running Foxfire 3.6.9 and wanted to use FTP Program add-on and it did not appear to load but appeared but then would be installed but not run or appear under tools. So I deleted Foxfire 3.6.9 and down loaded to 3.5.9 so it could get FTP and it is doing the same could not install. Even after I registered my copy. The last time I used this program it showed up under tools and worked great. any suggestions on whats going on and how I can get around this?.by ralphd3g

    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

  • Can generate, but not view CHM R8, Windows 7

    Please help.
    I can generate but not view or open a CHM file. I'm using R8 and Windows 7.

    Hi there
    And where exactly is the CHM when you are trying to open it?
    Local C drive?
    Network?
    If it's on a Network, CHM files don't work well on networks and the content is generally blocked.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Elements 13 will not run on my Windows XP.  Can I exchange???

    I purchased Photoshop Elements 13, but cannot use with my Windows XP.  How do I exchange for Elements 12?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem, and I am struggling to get in contact with Adobe. Either there is no phone support to get ahold of, or the customer service chat is not available. This is extremely frustrating so if you can give me a tip on how to proceed that would be highly appreciated. I've tried the link you provide above, but I don't get through to Adobe do discuss this matter.
    I'm located in Sweden if that has something to do with it.
    Thanks,
    Magnus

  • Adobe Flash Player 10 installed but not running

    I installed Adobe Flash Player 10 from the adobe site, and it said that it installed successfully, but when I try to watch videos on facebook or youtube it says I need to download flash player.  I tried installing it again, but the install window just popped up again and said it was already installed.  I restarted my computer several times, but flash player still won't run. I need help please!!!!

    Hi, ok. I'll give you the instructions that you need to follow. Now McAfee must be Disabled otherwise it will block the Install of that Shockwave Flash Object. In addition to Disabling it, you will have to check it at certain steps in the process, since it will re-enable itself and block the Install.
    First, some pre-Un/In steps to take. Go to Tools, Internet Options and make sure Security is set to Medium for the Internet Zone. You can do this now. Next, take a look in the system tray and know how to disable any applications that use Flash(messenger services, etc.)
    Download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Download the Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer and SAVE it to your Desktop:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    Disable any apps in system tray that would use Flash
    Disable McAfee
    Close all browsers, you'll just be looking at the Desktop
    RUN the Uninstaller. When it is finished, Reboot(restart) your computer. Allow it to fully Reboot. Then check McAfee for all of the components that you Disabled to make sure it did not re-enable. Then Reboot again(to clear out old files) Then check McAfee again.(If McAfee has re-enabled either time you check, then Disable as you did before)
    When fully Rebooted, RUN the Installer for Internet Explorer. Reboot Once.
    Now Re-enable your McAfee if needed; since it may have already re-enabled after that Reboot..
    You may want to print this out so it will be easier to follow. When you are finished, go to the test site and post back the results.
    Then go to the add ons and see if the Shockwave Flash Object is now Installed and Enabled.
    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • CS3 will install, but not run in Windows 7 64bit

    I bought a new HP e9220y last weekend. It has an AMD Phenom II Quadcore CPU and 8GB ram running Win7 64bit Home Premium. I installed Illustrator CS3 successfully and all files appear to be in the proper folders and programs are present on the start menu. But when I click on Illustrator or Bridge or anything else it installed, the wait cursor spins for about 10 seconds and then nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times. I've run the MS cleaner utility. I've tried running in compatablility mode for Vista and Xp. No luck.
    I tried downloading and installing Illustrator CS4 and it ran fine. No problems. I have a case open with Adobe tech support with all this but the four people I talked to all had no clue. It's been open and pending their reply for 5 days now. I guess they are stumped.
    I read somewhere that someone else with my same processor had the exact same problem, but that was a couple months ago and that forum had no resolution.
    Does anyone have a clue where I can start to solve this problem? Obviously, d/l'ing CS4 is a solution, but I was really hoping to avoid the added expense. I am already going to have to get a new scanner because mine doesn't like win7.
    Help?

    Turns out this is a system specific problem (AMD Quad Core)  and a solution was discovered by someone in another forum. He wrote:
    "Apparently the licensing software for adobe hated the amd quad cores, but they released a patch which corrects it. I found someone who did this in a random AMD forum and it works great."
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401528.html
    I had to turn off my Trend Micro software to get this patch to run, but it worked!

    If using -cp . does not work (don't forget the spaces), then either VierOpEenRij.class file does not exist in the current directory or the class inside the VierOpEenRij.class file is not named VierOpEenRij
    I don't know how , It used to work but now it just
    fails :(
    is it possible that i Intalled something that
    interrupte the proces ?Anything is possible.

    Have tried to uninstall and reinstall.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • Unable to copy paste from a popup that is part of a specific software. I can do this in IE, but not in Firefox

    We use BMC Remedy (ITSM) to track our work and it has a popup for the expiry date for each ticket. When I click on the link, a box pops up with the information, everything except the expiry date can be highlighted, but it is the expiry date that I need to copy. I can copy this info when in IE, but not in Firefox. We are not allowed to install anything on our computers directly from the internet.

    You are using a version of Firefox that is 10 versions behind it's supported version. It is not safe to use on the internet. Please either update to Firefox 30, or contact your company's IT department for an update.

  • I can view my pictures in Classmates in IE But not in firefox

    I can view my pictures in Classmates in IE But not in firefox. I can vie pictures on Facebook fine. I tried every settingsuggested in help unless I missed something.

    With the site that you are having problems with on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see the [[site identity button]] article) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
    First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
    Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
    This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see [[Images or animations do not show]].
    Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.
