I have downloaded Firefox 4 times, using MSN9 and IE8 browsers. I cannot install Foxfire and everytime I try, I get a "This file is corrupt" message. Suggestions?

Excuse me...I meant Firefox...NOT FOXFIRE. Duh on me. I'm not sure what other details you need? I'm on 56K dialup. Dell PC. Windows XP Professional. I have Malwarebytes and Windows Defender virus protection software, but neither one has alerted me to any type of problem with the your Firefox download file when downloading or attempting to install. I simply get a flyout which reads "Corrupt file." I can only assume it is a Micrsoft Message.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • I have downloaded firefox three times but nothing happens. No prompt to drag icon to bar. I have a mac

    I have downloaded firefox three times. There is no prompt to drag firefox icon from application?? to my bar on my Mac. Have I successfully downloaded firefox? It appears I have not done so. Help

    This is the Firefox Start Page that was used in Firefox 3.6 and prior versions. <br />
    http://www.google.com/firefox
    The '''about:home''' default homepage looks a lot like that older default homepage, but it is missing the Google menu items at the top left-side of the web page, along with the '''''Sign In''''' hyperlink for signing into Google services and the '''''Options''''' "gear button" for setting Google search preferences.
    If you want the orange Firefox button to show, instead of the Menu Bar showing, you need to hide the Menu Bar by right-clicking a blank spot on the Menu Bar and de-selecting the Menu Bar by clicking on Menu Bar in that contextual menu.

  • Hi, i have downloaded peppa pig series using itunes, and have tried to sync them to my Ipad Mini and IPhone 5, however it is not working it states "videos from your Itunes libary can not be copied to 'ipad' because they can not be played on this Ipad.

    I have downloaded Peppa Pig series using Itunes and have tried to sync the tv programme to both my Ipad Mini and IPhone 5.  However neither work saying that 'videos from Itunes Libary can not be copied to 'ipad' because they can not be played on this I Pad.  I have downloaded the HD episodes is this my problem or do i need to download a 'video watching' app?  Please help we are going away next week and the episodes were to help keep my toodler occupied on the plane.  thank you

    The error you received kinda looks like the one in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4223
    But the iPhone 5 and the iPad mini should support HD videos. 
    What I would try is downloading the movies directly to your iPad mini or your iPhone.  You will want to do this when connected to Wi-Fi, but you can follow these steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    I hope that helps!

  • I have a JVC GY-HM100U and when I try to get the video files (MP4 format) off of the the SD card I get the error message OSStatus error -12909...any thoughts?

    I have a JVC GY-HM100U and when I try to get the video files (MP4 format) off of the the SD card I get the error message OSStatus error -12909...any thoughts?

    To be more precise: You MUST shoot in mov. Then drag the Clip bins from the card to you hard drive. Then drag the clips to FCP timeline and FCP asks you if you want to change to the right codec and of course you say YES. Now you can start editing. Can not be more simple. This camera was specially designed for use with FCP.

    Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app,  any help?

    What does the error say?
    A couple of thoughts: the file is corrupted or is password-protected. Corruption is more likely to cause Numbers to crash & Numbers cannot open password-protected Excel files. Try using one of the free Office clones & see what happens.

    I need to reinstall my Final Cut Express.  I have a version of 3.5 and then an upgrade to 4. Somehow I have managed to mislay the serial No for 3.5 so cannot install.  Does anyone know how I can resolve this.

    If version 4 is an upgrade only, you will have to have the serial number of the 3.5 full version.
    If you can't find it try contacting Apple with your proff of purchase, they may be able to help.

    Disabling the computer's security software (firewall and antivirus) usually resolves that error.

  • I have downloaded Firefox 3 times and all I get is the 'google search' page. Why don't I get the Firefox browser page? page

    I had Firefox on my old computer and really liked it. I can't remember how I was able to 'mesh' Firefox with my ATT home page. All I have is the 'Google' search page when I open Firefox. The page does not appear to be the same one shown under 'Getting Started', with the various tabs, etc. I'm sure it's something I haven't done correctly but I need help.

    google is block in some country. so make sure you are not the citizen of those countries. 2nd, some net admin of some organization will block google for some unsung excuse. so make sure not their reasons. 3rd, if you really could properly get into google days before, try to use "nslookup" to test www.google.com, if it cannot reply a proper ip version 4 address, then it is not the problem of firefox, it is your network connection or networking setting-up problem. so you need a network-engineer-alike buddy to help you. and how to use nslookup, if you can surf online, try another search engine like yahoo.com to get detailed usage of it.
    good luck buddy.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing 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 [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop 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.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • I have downloaded Firefox 6.. tried 7, and it will not connect once I attempt to open it initially. It comes up with blank boxes and notation states "waiting on firefox".. not sure what to do

    I had an issue with firefox opening zygna games on facebook last week. I uninstalled firefox and reloaded it. Actually tried it last week a few times and today tried Firefox 7 and then Firefox 6, which i now have on computer. When it goes to open initially, the screens come up blank. There is a little popup that I believe asks if i should set firefox as main browser, however no dialogue in the box. The notation on my computer says "waiting for firefox" and it just sits there.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    SOmeone else posted a similar post.  Check your settings to make sure your account hasn't disabled downloads/updates or restricked to a data amount/Wifi only, or secure Wifi, etc.
    IMO you need to go to the Apple Store if none of what I typed is helpful.
    Hope this helps you.....I assume your phone is not jail broken.
