I have downloaded firefox several times & try to click the icon & it tells me the address is wrong?
I think I deleted my browser firefox. The firefox icon is on my screen but when I click it, it tells me I have an incorrect address.... that it should read http://firefox.org or some such thing.
I can access yahoo ok but my firebutton is wacked.

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 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. -
In Adobe Send, I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open, it says page cannot be found. This just started happening. What needs to be corrected?
I can think of a couple of reasons for this behavior.
You inadvertently turned off the sharing for the files.
The link that the user is clicking on is incomplete; perhaps it got broken across lines in an email message. Are you sending Anonymous Links or Personalized Invitations? If the former, are you certain that you copied the entire link?
Some things to try.
Have the user send the link back to you so that you can test it. Does it work for you?
If you look at your Sent Files list, is the name in the Sent To column struck through (e.g., John Smith)? That would indicate that it has been unshared.
If you could get back to me with answers, perhaps we can get to the bottom of this. -
Updated firefox SEVERAL times in the last few months and even though everything goes ok with the installation, it never upgrades! I get notices on my college website as well as other that I have an incompatible version and have to upgrade, BUT OT NEVER WORKS!!!
In the "More system details..." for your post, it shows an ancient version:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.17) Gecko/2009122116 '''Firefox/3.0.17''' (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) FBSMTWB
It could have something to do with that acronym at the end, which I think is associated with one of your add-ons.
To see your true current version, you can check Help > About Firefox.
If your true current version is 6.0.2 (today's version), then you may need to clear a setting using the about:config preference editor. Here's how:
(1) Type or paste '''about:config''' into the location bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful if it appears.
(2) Type '''agent''' into the filter box and wait for the list to be filtered.
(3) Right-click '''general.useragent.override''' and choose Reset to return that preference to its default value.
Any luck? -
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 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. -
Got new computer--cannot get Google toolbar to show up tho have downloaded it several times.
Transferred Firefox and other programs to new computer; however, my Google toolbar (especially bookmarks of concern) did not transfer. I downloaded it again (more than once); it shows up on my Tools/Addo-ons as enabled but does not show up on the View/Toolbar section (never since new computer). I uninstalled and reinstalled, but no luck. What now?
Unfortunately, [[Google Toolbar is not compatible with Firefox]] anymore.

it's currently on version 3.6.13 but I have been facing this problem for months. I tried completely removing firefox from my applications (on my macbook) and reinstalling but the same problem persists, with websites detecting firefox version 2.0 instead of 3.6.
You need to reset your user agent string, for details see [[Websites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser]].
