I downloaded Firefox 4.0 beta but can't open when clicked on icon or programs list

I downloaded firefox 4.0 beta on my Dell computer ( Vista ) on 2-23-11. I have internet explorer but cannot get into my blackboard learning system at Salt Lake Community college with that. Apparently, firefox is the preferred. My class is online, so this creates a real problem. Help, please, and quickly if possible. Thanks, Sally

After saving the file which is likely called "Firefox Setup 4.0.1.exe" you need to run it to install Firefox 4.
If you do not clear the downloads from the download manager, you can run the installer from the downloads manager. Open the download manager, then right-click on the Firefox setup file and select Open. As soon as you start running the setup file, close Firefox. You need to do this so that the setup file can replace the files in the Firefox installation directory.

    Any ideas?

  • Why is it that everytime I try to download Firefox 4 my Adobe reader can't open it because it is a damaged file? Because of this I am not able to download it. Not sure I want to since I see so many other people having problems with it.

    I will start the process of downloading Firefox 4 and then get the message that my Adobe Reader can't open the file because it is damaged or sent through an e mail. I was not in my e mail when I tried to download the update. This isn't the first time that this has happened. I gave up downloading updates in the past just because I would encounter this same problem.

    When you start the download, are you chooseing Save or Run?

  • I downloaded pages, completed file sharing but can not open the documents on my ipad

    I have pages on my ipad2, I went through the file sharing instructions for 2 files.  I can not open them in pages.  When I go to Documents, copy from itunes, the files show but cannot be selected.

    Quit Pages and restart the iPad and try again.
    In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Make sure that they are compatilbe file extensions on the files or they will not open ... .doc, .docx, .pages

  • I have just downloaded firefox onto my laptop but it wont open. I keep getting a message that says: 'The connection has timed out' Can you help

    This is the message i get after a few seconds of trying to connect:
    The connection has timed out.
    The server at search.bearshare.com is taking too long to respond.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    Is this when you install the EXE, or when you are running Firefox, or some other time?

    Dear GBI,
    welcome to this forum! I gather from your information that you are not ON-LINE when you try to open the message. Most likely you are using a phone-in acount and somewhere in your acccount settings, messages over a certain size (e.g. 30kB) are left on the server. You have to decide that you want to receive them, reconnect to your server and than the whole message is downloaded to your computer! Hope this is helpful, otherwise give more detalis about your mode of connection ad type of account (POP, IMAP, ??. Success Frank

  • HT201272 i have downloaded Breaking Bad in itunes but can't open and watch any episodes. What can I do?

    i would like to watch breaking bad. It says downloading 4 hrs when done. It starts to download again! Why?

    Ok - success!!!  The songs are on my iPhone now!
    What I did....first I went in iTunes on my Mac and knocked the stars back to 1 star so they they would fall off my top rated.  I synced again with the iPhone.  No change yet.
    Then I went back into iTunes on the Mac and manually DELETED the songs and moved them all to the trash.  I emptied the trash.  Then I synced again with the iPhone.
    Then I just ripped the CD again in iTunes, then five-starred each song, so they went right into my Top Rated on the Mac.  Then one more sync with the iPhone and voila!  There they are!  Phew!  This was weird, and soooooo un-Apple like....but it's cool, and it's all good now.
    Cheers!!

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 and now I can't open my Primus mail

    The message I receive is that my Primus is no longer supported. How do I get back to Firefox 3?

    I'm running Lupu 5.2 (Linux Puppy) both I suspect the following will work for any O/S
    Install the Firefox Add-on called '''Remote XUL Manager'''
    After the installation, click on '''Tools'''
    Then click on '''Remote XUL Manager''' and
    Add the following domain: '''webmail.primus.ca'''
    Hope it works for you also !

    I have to agree, fixing something that was working fine and replacing it with the new crap has led me to switch browsers.BIG FAIL MOZILLA
    Why do people do this shit.
    Turn off updating to keep your good working version or you will be forced to use the new version that is missing some well used features.

  • Firefox has run before but can't start any more

    Firefox has run before but can't start any more.
    I tried the solutions proposed but it doesn't work

    Hello,
    See this help Article :
    [[Firefox won't start - find solutions]]
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In case you want to do something straight away, try 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 [[Install Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the 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.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found here.
    '''''WARNING:''''' Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
