I cannot get the Firefox setup wizard to run on my laptop, which runs Windows XP.

I have a Compaq Presario which runs Windows XP. I have 1.12 GB of RAM, a 1.59 GHz processor, and more than 30 GB of space on my hard drive. I can download Firefox, but I can't get the setup wizard to run. After I get it downloaded and try to run the wizard, my computer hangs up. I have tried both saving it and running it right off the bat. Neither way works. I need to have Firefox on my machine, so any way I could get help with this problem would be great. Thanks.

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

    I have changed the keyboard on my iBook G4 (OS 10.5) to a Japanese JIS Keyboard but cannot get the Keyboard Setup Assistant to run and recognise it. Some symbols don't match. What can I do to get the new keyboard recognised/installed? The keyboard setup assitant looks as if it will open when clicked on but does not.

  • I just downloaded Firefox 17 on my pc. I cannot get the Firefox toolbar to come up. Only an option to set Yahoo as homepage comes up.

    When I click on the Mozilla Firefox shortcut, only the Make Yahoo! your home page comes up. It tells me how to make it my homepage, but you need the Mozilla toolbar to do so, and there's no finding the toolbar. Very frustrating. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times, and it ALWAYS comes up with this Yahoo thing.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #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) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    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!

  • How do you get the right fonts to lock, running Windows 7 on a HP Laptop

    I just purchased an HP Laptop DV7 with Window 7 installed on it. I have tried everything I know to get the fonts to adjust and stay. When I use Control + they enlarge but when I go to different pages I am continually doing this. Nothing is staying at the font size I pick. Letters are very small and very hard to read.

    The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.

  • I cannot get the Firefox to search old mail for previous saved emails. It always says none there, even when I see them. Can anyone help?

    When I want to find an old e mail in the old mail file and type the name in the box and search, the new Firefox will not find anything. I did not have this problem with earlier versions of Firefox. Can someone help? Thanks

    Thank you very much!
    I have already sent the feedback to online support feedback yesterday, but still waiting for reply. And I have just send thr Apple Support Express Lane. Hope can have someone reply!
    I have called Apple Store Online today, but they said I should call TNT and they will send my enquiry to others to handle. But reject to tell me who is responsible for the issue.
    TNT keeps to tell me they have deliver the item but no one answer. And I told them I have informed them on no one at the delivery address to receipt the good. TNT just do so to claim they have already do their work.
    Do you know the mail address can be contacted to solve this problem?

  • I currently have one input but need to run two loops. I cannot get the two while loops to run so that they both pick up the same data, they are both picking up alternate samples. How can I get them to both pick up all of the values?

    The system I am trying to create calculates a number of values based on an input. I need to make the calculations and display the values for an entire production run and for each hour. The only way I know to do this is to create two while loops, one looking at all the values that are received and one looking only at the values for hour long periods.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks
    RossH

    Why do you think that you have to have two loops to accomplish this task? Why not use one loop and accumulate the same data into two data sets based on the two sets of criteria?

  • Firefox 13 and 14 will not install properly on my windows 7 starter. Also I cannot get the Scrapbook addon to work. Can you tell me why ?

    I have tried to install Firefox 13 and 14 on my netbook, running a Windows 7 starter OS. The installation begins to go smoothly from the setup.exe file; but after the installation seems complete, and I press the 'Open Firefox' button the firefox programme can be seen to start opening because it accumulates about 50mb of private bytes RAM on the windows task manager or on the 'process explorer' utility program by sysinternals. '''However the firefox screen/window never opens up and so firefox does not seem to be properly installed.'''' Also I have had problems with getting the Scrapbook" addon to install properly. I have another computer, a laptop, running XP Home, and I can get the Firefox 13 or 14 to install but it is on this other computer that I cannot get the 'Scrapook' addon to install properly; There is no notice on the Addon page saying the 'Scrapbook' addon does not work on Firefox 13 or 14, and the addon does install, but not properly, so it does not work.
    I have the old Firefox setup.exe files, and so I have managed to install an old version, firefox 3 or 4, on an external hard drive. I have successfully got this old firefox to work on the XP Home laptop from an external hard drive, and can successfully use the 'Scrapbook' addon in this way.
    I cannot understand why I have problems with Firefox 13 or 14. I think I first noticed the problem about 'Scrapbook' with Firefox 12.

    It seems your Mozilla installation is broken. Try the following steps to fully uninstall Mozilla Firefox:
    1. Uninstall Firefox as you would normally do.
    2. Open a command prompt as administrator.
    3. By using the cd and rd command, remove Firefox AppData and Roaming folders, for example:
    C:\Users\USERNAME> cd AppData
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData> cd Local
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local> cd Mozilla
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla> rd /s Firefox
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla\*.* - Are you sure? (y/n) y
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla> cd ..
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local> cd ..
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\> cd Roaming
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming> cd Mozilla
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla> rd /s Firefox
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\*.* - Are you sure (y/n) y
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla > exit
    Remember to press Enter each time.
    4. After that, open a hard disk clean-up tool (such as CCleaner or Windows built-in) and remove all temporary files from your computer.
    5. Restart your computer. Download '''again''' the Firefox package from [http://www.mozilla.org/es-ES/download/?product=firefox-14.0.1&os=win&lang=es-ES Mozilla official servers] and try to install Firefox. If the problem persists maybe your computer has a problem or is infected with viruses.
    About the Scrapbook add-on, I could get it to work. It has no icon when docked to the toolbar, but you can anyway open it. Right-click a button on the toolbar, click Customize... find the Scrapbook icon, drag it to the bookmarks bar so you can see the icon and click on it to open it. Whenever you need to save a page, right-click that page and choose Save page.

  • I have requested and accepted the most current Firefox program updates with my windows vista system. They are not registering but I am told they are downloaded. Then I cannot get the printer option to work with any version of firefox. in English

    I have taken the firefox updates when offered to 4.4. I have the browser as an aside to Internet Explorer 9 as a backup browser. When I use Firefox I am being told my system is not up to date and I need a newer version. I download the version and keep getting told I am not current with firefox. When Firefox DOES work I cannot get any printer icon or settings to enable and allow the printing of a page. I have to use IE9 to get the printer to work. Using eBay I cannot get the uploading of pictures from my computer to consistently operate even though I use small JPG files under 500KB.

    There are a lot of IntelliTXT like ''ad'' pop-ups possible.
    If your current Adblock Plus filter settings aren't blocking some pop-ups then it is best to take this to the Adblock Plus forum.

  • I use the older style firefox and cannot get the password manager to remember one of my passwords, how do I do this

    I use the older style Firefox browser and cannot get the password manager to remember one of my main site's password. how can I do this?

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • Since I downloaded Firefox 5 I cannot get the links to work for accepting or receiving gifts for Farmville & Frontiersville, what can I do

    Since I downloaded Firefox 5 I cannot get the links to work for accepting or receiving gifts for Farmville & Frontiersville, what can I do. When a request is posted on my FB page and I click on it to send or receive a gift it just shows that its "connecting" and sits there for several minutes then only sometimes actually goes to the gift. How can I fix it. My other computer that is still on firefox 4 does not have this problem.

    Hello AKBOB, if exist a problem with update or permissions then the better way is to '''download and install the new version'''.
    1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

  • In wunderlust-brown content slideshow I cannot get the content to show in IE 8

    I am using wunderlust-brown content slideshow. I cannot get the content to show in IE 8. The picture shows but no content. I narrowed down the problem to a missing CSS attribute - .WLBSlideShow .article
    If I add .article to the end of the .story attribute (.WLBSlideShow .story .article) then I get content in IE 8 but the page no longer works properly in Firefox or Chrome.
    I want to know what CSS code is supposed to be in this file for the .article attribute. It is a simple problem and I hope I can get a resolution quickly.
    Thanks.
