I can't download Firefox because it doesn't recognize me as either the Adminsitrator or Current User.

There are 2 options to choose from: Current User (with my name on it) and Administrator. I am both the current user and the Administrator. When I choose the Current user option, nothing happens. When I choose the Administrator option and include my Administrator password, nothing happens. Firefox never used to be this difficult to download before. What happened? I've been trying to do this for more than 3 hours now! :(

Hello, if the above the-edmeister's reply does not help, then try to boot the computer in [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows Safe Mode with network support] (press F8 on the boot screen) and then see if that allows to install Firefox from the the-edmeister's above link.
thank you

Can't download Firefox because it says must close Mozilla Firefox first. Can't find anything open.

Have been on Mozilla for months. Lost it a few days ago and can't get back. Can't download because it says must close Firefox first. Cannot find open Mozilla Firefox.

Create a new profile to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Where can I download Firefox 7 from? I know this isn't the latest version but I need to explicitly install this (old) version.

''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/913188''
I need to download Firefox version 7 (even though it is old)

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

Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:

Where can I download Firefox 7 from? I know this is not the latest version, but I need to explicitly install this particular version.

I simply need to be able to download (and install) Firefox 7, even though this version is outdated.

Hi barryr,
You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. That page is no longer being maintained by Google.
You should try changing your home page to:
about:home
If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
Hopefully this helps

I can't download Firefox 4 because my Mac says I "dont' have sufficient priviledges", and I'm the Administrator!

I can't download Firefox 4 because my Mac says I "dont' have sufficient priviledges", and I'm the Administrator!

Click applications... utilities... disk utilities. select your drive and click "check permissions" and let it run. when this is finished, click on "fix permissions" and let it run.
This should solve your problem.

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all.

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. I went to the forums and tried all the suggested fixes but none worked. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all. I tried a system restore twice and it did not fix the problem.

I would imagine it's the MyWay Searchbar which is classified by most anti-malware scanners as adware, or even worse as spyware. I say that because I see "SmileyCentral" in your list of plugins and that's an add-on for that particular toolbar. You can disable that via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins.
There are a number of toolbars which won't work with Firefox 4 anymore due to the enhanced protection mechanisms in the browser.
Mozilla recommends that you only install add-ons from its own security site @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured Generally speaking, those have all been tested and approved. The exceptions are those currently under review which are marked with a yellow banner to warn users that they haven't passed Mozilla's labs yet.

How can I download Firefox for my Android but decline Google's policy block?

Google demands that I accept all the policies they list before I can download Mozilla Firefox. The reason I want Firefox is because Firefox respects my privacy. Google does not respect my privacy and wants to sell my stats. THAT is the reason I want Firefox! How can I download Firefox & decline Google's unacceptable demands?

By default you cannot. Android's permission model is based on you trusting the app you are installing to use the permissions it asks for with care.
If you are willing to root your phone and install a custom version of the Android operating system CyanogenMod allows you to granularly approve and revoke permissions from the app you are running.
This is a somewhat dangerous process and if the wrong things happen you could wreck your phone.

Can you download firefox on iPad 2?

How are you supposed to view videos if you can't download firefox to sites that require it? Why doesn't apple allow flash player?

Firefox does not run on iDevices. There is no flash for iDevices. It has nothing to do with Apple. The problem is with Adobe who owns flash.
Please Google the issue as it's been discussed and beaten to death already.
There are some alternative browsers that work with some flash sites - SkyFire and Puffin.

Hi, I have HTC Legend on Android 2.2. I just can't download Firefox on my phone, what should I do to get Firefox on my phone?

Hi, I have HTC Legend on Android 2.2. I just can't download Firefox on my phone, because after scanning the QR code and clicking on the link "download for Android" there appears a "Not found" mistake window which informs me that requested file has not been found. What should I do to get Firefox mobile on my phone? Thanks in advance.

So its really useful that you guys do NOT mention this in the linked sys req page:http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/platforms/
but in the deep in the system hidden wiki page. Please change that! So much people try to download FF mobile beta and have no clue why they cant even download it.

I fixed it myself. I accidently deleted part of the original download of firefox. I did not uninstall all of it. Then I tried to uninstall another portion of it and it would not let me. So I went to my trash can lol and restored then uninstalled and am now reinstalling and it is working Yeah. I do not know how I uninstalled part of it and not the rest. See I thought I had downloaded the wrong firefox because it was acting up on me and the website did not look right it said something about maintenance file Anyway it is fixed. Yippeee

Are you clicking "Run" or "Save"? Try clicking "Save" then running the downloaded file.

Download problems, also can't download Firefox update

Just recently, I am having problems with downloading attachments or even e.g. a bill. I also can't download Firefox update which is on my screen when I log on. I have looked at the ;'Download' box and a message repeats:-
Server does not support RFC 5 746 See 2009/3555
I haven't experienced this problem until today
I am not very computer savvy although I have been on line for over 10 years

Ok, let's first try to update your Firefox. Go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], download the latest version of Firefox, and install it. Then try downloading what you tried before.
If it doesn't work, Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.

How can I download Firefox onto a disk from my Windows PC, and then take the disk to my Mac and upload it to use on the Mac? Safari does not work anymore.

My Mac assures me that I am connected to the internet, using Airport and also ethernet, but Safari never gives me a home page. Can I download Firefox onto a disk using my Windows PC and then take the disk to the Mac and upload Firefox to use on the Mac ?

You can grab a "full" installer (.dmg file) from this page (scroll down to your preferred language):

If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and an Intel Mac, buy Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store and run Software Update.

The last apple ID used on my App Store is stuck how do I change back to my apple ID? I can't download anything because its not asking for my apple ID and password, help?

help, the last apple ID used to download in my ipad2 is stuck, I can't download anything because its not asking for my apple ID and password, how do I change it back to mine?

Again, this only affects you if someone *redownloaded* content with a different ID. In my case, I emailed iTunes Store support, explained the situation, and they reset the counter. I recommend you try the same
If you read discussion boards, this is a significant change from a year ago, when Apple told people in the same situation to go f&$# themselves. Clearly it's dawning on them that this is a stupid policy, and my guess is if people keep complaining they'll change it to something more reasonable. Remember, it wasn't that long ago you couldn't re-download content at all.
Apple can't really afford to play hardball on this. Sure, the hardcore fanboys will always say "Thank you sir, may I have another" whatever Apple throws at them, but the rest of us will just switch to Amazon, which has none of these restrictions.

I can't download Firefox because it doesn't recognize me as either the Adminsitrator or Current User.
