I can't install Firefox. Get a message saying "can not open output file" Firefox version 3.6.6

Firefox stopped working after updating. I uninstalled it and downloaded latest version 3.6.6. Before that 3.6.3.
When I try to install, I get a message "Extraction Failed.. Can not open output file" . I trie d former versions, all with the same result. I've already ran several antivirus and anti-malware, spyware.. etc.
Everything else works fine, except for Firefox...
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after update ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.86 Safari/533.4

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
If you keep having problems then disable your security software (anti-virus) during the download and installation of Firefox.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

  • I have done the latest updates on my photoshop, it is version 14.2.1. What I try to open a file from my Nikon D800 camera NEF file, I get a message saying Photoshop cannot open this file.Can anyone help me with this?

    The message says Ïf you are attempting to open a RAW file, make sure you have the latest update installed. I have completed all the latest updates today but still get this message.

    Sorry to hear your Adobe experience has been less than stellar.  I'll try to help...
    1.  Photoshop 14.2.1 is now two releases out of date.  You might want to go to your Creative Cloud application and ask it to install Photoshop CC (2014).  Earlier this year Adobe released 2014.0 as a separate install that can live side by side with 14.2.1.  Then just a few days ago they released 2014.1 as an in-place upgrade to 2014.0.
    2.  You may be able to update Camera Raw directly to version 8.6 by a link from this page:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    Best of luck to you.  Please let us know here if these things help.

    When you click the download link on [http://getfirefox.com GetFirefox.com], you should be asked if you wish to Run or Save the file. If the described situation happens when trying to Run the download, try instead to Save it and put the file on your Desktop or a similar place where you are certain that you can find it again.
    When the download is complete, try double-clicking the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from My Computer). This should start the installation.
    If you notice in the Explorer window that the file seems to be lacking the Firefox orange/blue icon, rightclick the file and select Properties. The picture should look somewhat like the attached picture (except that mine's in danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it does NOT look like this, please describe the contents or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File type" - it should be "Program"; if it's not, we'll have to look into what the problem could be here.
    Slightly off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit out of date (IE 6, where current version is IE 8), so I would strongly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system updated. If this is a company system (like a Terminal Server thin client machine), this may not be possible, and your system administrator will most likely have to help you.

    Hello, I'm trying to install on my Ifhone emoji free, but I get a message saying "Can not connect to itunes store", what can I do?

    Restart your modem, router (if you use one), and Mac.  Then try again.
    If the problem remains, consider http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    (This problem has nothing to do with iSight.  Therefore, I have asked
    that the Hosts move your topic to iTunes where you may get better help.)

  • When i try to start itunes i get a message saying that the MSVCR80.dll file is missing and to reinstall itunes.  When I try to reinstall itunes it tells me that I have an Error 7 (windows error 126).  Can anybody tell me what this means?  Thanks

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • How do I reinstall iWeb 3.0.3?  I inadvertently opened an html file of my website and tried to open it with iWeb '09. I get a message saying "Can't open file" etc., etc. I've tried reinstalling the updated version. Iweb will not open.

    How do I reinstall iWeb 3.0.3?  I inadvertently opened an html file of my website and tried to open it with iWeb '09. I get a message saying “Can’t open file” etc., etc. I’ve tried reinstalling the updated version. Iweb will not open.

    Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. Then launch iWeb and see if it opens. 
    What happened was trying to open the html file reset the file path that iWeb saves in its preference file to tell it where to go when you launch iWeb.  Deleting the pref file and launching iWeb creates a new file and iWeb looks in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for the Domain.sites2 file it uses to create your site.

  • Tried to install Firefox but an error message "Extraction failed - cannot open output file" always pops up, without a reason. Why's this happening?

    Tried to install Firefox but an error message "Extraction failed - cannot open output file" always pops up, without a reason. Why's this happening?

    Try to disable your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes it work.
    You may need to delete the temp folder (%TEMP%) to remove the old files.

  • Trying to make an in app purchase. Keep getting same message saying can't connect to iTunes store?

    trying to to make an in app purchase. Everytime I get a message saying can't connect to iTunes store

    Hello Cpsbcs,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning in-app purchase issues:
    If you don’t see your in-app purchases
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID you used to make the purchase. Sign in with a different Apple ID if you need to.
    Check the restrictions on your device to make sure in-app purchases are allowed.
    Check your purchase history in iTunes on your computer to make sure you were charged for the purchase.
    Restart your device.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD

    When trying got save a document I get a message saying "can't open untitled.page" and it doesn't save or if it does i can't open it. why.

    I think I found out how to solve this - I turned off iCloud documents and data, and now I can save and don't get the "can't open untitled.page" and am now able to properly save!
    Hope it works for you.

    Can you please be more detailed? When are you getting this - what is causing it? Any specific tool or while starting Photoshop itself?

    Oh? That's "reset youtr laptop"?
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
