I have downloaded Firefox 7.0 after that I got the message that the file is corrupt, what do I have to do now?

The Firefox help page warned me that I was using a vulnerable version of Firefox. I use the release version but that was an automatic update. I downloaded Firefox 7.0 from the original Firefox Homepage so I don't understand why I can't install this new version. I hope you can help me with this problem.

  • I have been trying to download firefox for few days now and it keeps telling me the file is corrupt. what can i do to solve this?

    every time i try to download firfox as a browser it tells me the file is corrupt.

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

  • I download a lot of music thru firefox. After a few hours, the files that I are ready for downloading, just don't download and I have to reset the same by going

    I download a lot using firefox mozilla and after a few hours, the downloads that are set in queue fail to download and I have to reset the same by going to the site and downloading the same again. Is there a solution to this problem?

    Try to use an external download manager.<br />
    Such programs usually have more options when it comes to downloading a lot of files.
    You can use the FlashGot extension to integrate an external Download Manager in Firefox.

  • I keep trying to upgrade my version of Firefox but everytime I download the upgrade I get a message stating that the file is corrupted. Firefox keeps telling me I need to upgrade but I can't seem to make it happen. Can someone help me?

    For several months I have been trying to upgrade my Firefox version, which is no longer supported by several software platforms I need as a songwriter, such as Flashplayer, etc. After I download the upgrade all I get is a message that the file is corrupted. I am not very tech-savvy so I need to talk with someone who can explain what to do in layman's terms.

  • I can't download firefox. When I click on run, I get a window saying that the author is unknown. When I click on run in the new window, another window says the file is corrupt. What can I do about this?

    I want to have firefox as my default browser. As this is a new laptop, I hasve to download firefox. As per the instructions, I click on "run" to complete the download, but instead of completing the download, a window appears which says that the author is unknown. If I ignore the window and click on run, I get another window which says the file is corrupt and I can't finish the download and have firefox as my browser.
    I have windows 7 and explorer is the default browser and I want to change to firefox, but so far am being prevented from doing so. How can I successfully download firefox?

  • I have been using firefox on an older computer, I just got a different computer and have been trying for 3 days to get firefox. I hit download it says its done and when I hit install it tells me the file is corrupt.

    I have tried it over and over from different links and I can not download and install and I can not figure out whyI have enough memory and I'm running windows vista my computer and virus protection are up to date. I have been trying to download firefox from google chrome and IE. I just don't understand why my computer keeps telling me that your file is corrupt when I know I downloaded it before and it was fine.

    hello, the last version that was compatible with os x 10.4.11 is firefox 3.6.28 - you can download it from here: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-mac?s=installing&r=7&e=es&as=s#os=mac&browser=fx35 Install Firefox on Mac]
    afterwards please disable automatic-updates in preferences > advanced > updates so that it doesn't happen again...

  • I have installed Firefox 4 twice, and each time I get a message that the file is corrupt and can't be opened.

    I ordered a download of PagePlus X5 from Serif in the UK. The program is 706 MB. Several times, only 300+ MBs downloaded. The program had .exe but the partial download had .msi. The message that came up was "Setup was unable to find the msi package or patch . . ." Serif suggested I install Firefox as a web browser to see if the program would download. That is what I tried to do, and that is when I got the message that the file was corrupt. Serif is sending me a disk. Is there a disk for Firefox?

    How large is your iPhone's storage? 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB? You can go to Settings > General > Usage, and that will tell you how much storage you have used and how much you have left. If the storage is truly almost full, then you would need to either delete files from your iPhone, or sync less files from iTunes to your iPhone.
    Hope this helps!

  • I downloaded FIrefox 5 but when I try to install iget a message that the file is corrupt.

    I have downloaded Firefox 5 to my "Download" box. When I click on the Firefox 5 icon I get the usual small window that asks if I want to install the program. When I click on the install buton, I get a small popup that says the file is "corrupt" and when I click "OK" it closes without installing. Hard to use new version when I cannot even install it. I have done this twice and am downloading again for a 3rd time

    Uninstall the Inbox Toolbar, following steps here:

    Then retry opening Firefox.
    You can also try opening Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] (use Continue in Safe Mode first).
    If that works, reopen Firefox Safe Mode, but use the dialog option to '''Restore default search engines''' as shown at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode#Safe_Mode_window and press the '''Make changes and restart''' button.

  • Downloaded Firefox yesterday. Every time I open the Firefox browser, it starts in Safe Mode even though I have shut down and restarted my computer several times

    I have Windows OS. I downloaded Firefox yesterday. Every time I open the Firefox browser, it starts in safe mode. I have restarted my machine several times -- Firefox still starts in Safe Mode. My favorites from IE copied to Firefox fine, and Firefox is now my default browser...it just keeps opening in Safe Mode.

    I downloaded the toolbar. When I was done using the computer, I put it to "sleep." The next time I "woke" the computer and went to Firefox, the toolbar was gone. When I downloaded the toolbar again, I got a box in the upper left hand corner of the screen stating Firefox BLOCKED the toolbar, and did I want to allow it. There was NO option to allow always-it's just a one time deal. When I shut down for the day, I expected it to remain, but no-next time I fired up firefox, NO TOOLBAR. I pulled up Inbox dollars again, clicked on download toolbar, got the box stating it's blocking the toolbar, etc, etc, etc. Unless Firefox upgrades daily, or in some cases, several times in one day, I'm going to stick with my description that the toolbar magically disappears EVERY TIME I OPEN
    FIREFOX!!!
    I don't profess to be any type of computer whiz, I'm totally self-taught, and it's not beyond the realm of possibility that I'm doing something wrong. I've been using Firefox for about a week, so I'd welcome any help!

  • When I try to setup the updated Firefox download, I get a message that the file is corrupt. What should I do?

    The download for firefox setup 6.0.2 exe was successful, but when I tried to open it, I received a message that the file is corrupt.

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions to update then easiest is to 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 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Firefox 4.0.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
