I close Firefox and Firefox 5 install keeps saying "close Firefox application" How can I download and install Firefox 5?

I HAVE CLOSED FIREFOX 4 AND WAS STILL UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE CHECKING OF CURRENT FILES AND INSTALLING MY DOWNLOADED FIREFOX 5. WHAT DO i DO NOW OR HOW CAN i RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM, OR DO I JUST STAY WITH FIREFOX4?

Unless you had problems with an update, one
method would be starting with Firefox 4 to use
"Alt" > Help > About Firefox > "Check for update" or "Apply Update".
You can have updates automatically checked and
wait for your approval or install them through
Tools > Options > Advanced > Updates
Or to instead use your download, if that is what you actually
have. "Ctrl+J" to bring up downloads, start the install,
then when the install starts bring down Firefox with
File > Exit or the "Firefox" button > Exit, and use
the Task Manager's Process tab to make sure Firefox.exe
if not running -- also make sure the plugin container is also
not running. then
When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts (already mentioned). When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

    TRy removing the sim card wipe it clean then insert it again. Your sim card tray might be dusty. Another option is turning your airplane mode on and off.

  • I downloaded, installed and uninstalled firefox 24 yesterday but it had a search engine which I don't want, how can I download without this search engine.

    How can I download firefox without the search engine it automatically takes me to when I open a new tab.?

    its not search engine change homepage you like
    et a single website as your home page
    If you like to keep things simple, here’s how to set your home page in three easy steps.
    Open the website you want to set as your home page. If you want a blank home page, open a new tab.
    Click the icon to the left of the web address, drag it to the Home button, and release.
    Home page Win1
    Click Yes to set this as your home page.
    Try it out: Click the Home button and your new home page will load in the current tab. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
    Set more than one website as your home page
    This is the way to have one-click access to all of your favorite websites. For example, you can set the Firefox home button to open your email, favorite news site, and Facebook all at once.
    Open a new window and load the first web site you want in your home page.
    Click the new tab button and open the next web site. Repeat this step until you've opened all the desired sites in new tabs.
    At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options
    Select the General panel.
    Click Use Current Pages.
    Home page Win2
    Click OK to close the Options window
    Try it out: Close all of your tabs and then click the Home button. Watch all of your chosen pages open up in tabs. Do it again! You know you want to.
    Note: Setting too many pages as your home page can make Firefox take long to start up.
    Restore the default home page
    If you want to delete your home page customizations, this is the way to do it.
    At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options
    Select the General panel.
    In the Startup box, click Restore to Default.
    Home page Win3
    Click OK to close the Options window
    Set what pages open when Firefox starts
    This is a great feature you can use in addition to the home page settings. To save time, you can have Firefox open the pages you were visiting the last time you used it so you can continue where you left off.
    At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options
    Select the General panel.
    In the Startup box, click the dropdown menu next to "When Firefox starts:" and select what Firefox should display when it starts up.
    Show my home page - Displays the home page(s).
    Show a blank page - Displays a blank page. This loads quickly since you don't have to wait for lots of tabs to load.
    Show my windows and tabs from last time - Opens the pages you were visiting the last time you used Firefox so you can continue where you left off. For more information, see Restore previous session - Configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs and windows.
    Click OK to close the Options window .
    Try it out: If you really want to get fancy, you can set a group of web sites as your home page and set Firefox to open the pages you were visiting the last time you used it. That way, you can pick up your work where you left off and have one-click access to your favorite sites.
    Tying it all together
    Firefox is really flexible – "you" decide what works best. Keep it simple and set a single website as your home page or set up one-click access to your favorite web sites and save time by having Firefox pick up where you left off when it starts. What works best for you? Try and see!
    Having problems?
    We have answers:
    If you keep getting the "Firefox has just updated" tab every time Firefox starts, see the article Firefox says it's just updated every time it starts - how to fix.
    If your home page settings are not saved, see How to fix preferences that won't save.

  • I have an older G5 tower Power PC and the OS 10.5.8, but the firefox and safari browers are no longer supporting this computer. How can I download an older version that works with this computer?

    I have an older G5 tower Power PC and the OS 10.5.8, but the firefox and safari browers are no longer supporting this computer. How can I download an older version that works with this computer?
    Or what is the newest OS system I can load onto this computer?
    I think it is from 2006

    Hello,
    10.5.8 is the highest OSX it can run.
    TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
    SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...

    Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.

  • 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.
