I'm trying to re-install Firefox 6.0 on my Windows 7 PC but can't because my computer won't create the right temporary files.

My computer crashed and I did a Windows 7 system restore. Everything seemed fine but afterward, Firefox would not launch -- I just got a popup box saying Firefox was already running and that I had to either shut down the program or restart my computer. I restarted my computer several times but it did not work.
I then uninstalled Firefox and tried re-installing it. I then received a popup box saying 7-zip, another program I had installed, couldn't create the temporary files needed. I uninstalled 7-zip, thinking that would solve the problem. Instead, I still get the same message, even without the program installed. I'd appreciate any advice ASAP -- I work from home and have hundreds of bookmarks and tabs that I use every day. Thanks so much!

Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I am trying to launch Firefox 9.0.1 on Windows 7 but the application window isnt visible even though there is a firefox.exe process running in task manager.

I am trying to launch Firefox 9.0.1 on Windows 7 but it isnt working. I try to launch it and the application window does not show. When I look at the task manager and then look at the Applications tab, Firefox isnt listed. If I go to the Processes tab, there is a firefox.exe*32 process listed. Each time I double click the Firefox icon, a new firefox.exe process is spawned but there is never a visible instance of the Firefox application.
There are no errors in the application logs. I end up just having to kill the processes.
I tried launching in safe mode by holding down the shift button but the same thing happens.
Any suggestions on what to try? It has never worked since upgrading from version 8. I tried un-installing and re-installing

I went through everything mentioned in the link you posed and nothing detailed there resolved the problem.
The Profile folder didnt exist so I created it. Made sure the perms were good and that it was not read only.
There are no default folders appearing under the profile folder when I start Firefox.
I have Firefox installed to my E drive.
Nothing happens. The process appears in the task manager but no application shows up.
Cant start it in safe mode, cant run the profile manager.

I clicked on the icon to install Firefox 4, saved it to my desktop but it would not install? Help!

On the page to install Firefox 4, I followed instructions, saved it but it never installed. What should I do?

Open the Security & Privacy preferences. Change the option for "Allow applications downloaded from:" to Anywhere.

I have windows xp and installed Firefox version 4. and it informed me it disabled something because it was incompatible but I did not write it down. do you know what that is? after that, my laptop cannot start cmd.exe any more.

Trying to re-install iWork '08 on iMac 10.5.8, but told serial number is invalid.

Trying to re-install iWork '08 on iMac 10.5.8, but told serial number is invalid.

I still think you're looking at the wrong sticker. The retail boxes do have stickers which are marketing info usually identifying the marketing number & whether the package is a single-user or family-pack license box. I'm sorry, but I can't find my iWork boxes & stickers to scan to show you right now as we are packed to move in the next couple of weeks.
The serial number is a lot more than four digits. Mine is 23 digits plus hyphens, a mix of letters & numbers. It also is not on the installation booklet. As I said before, it's on a sticker (there are two identical stickers) on a separate CD-size piece of paper. The stickers were intended to be removed & affixed to the installation booklet, which you may have done.

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Han,
You should be able to install CC on a second computer, licensing rules allow you to install on two computers.
Please first try signing out and back in: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes and all other Apple software to see if that makes a difference? Use the exact instructions in this article.

It's the other way round: first, you install Parallels, and then you can install Windows 7, 8, Vista, whatever you want. Or Linux. For more information visit the Parallels website.

You didn't mention what web browser you are using so it's hard to say.
One quick thing you can try if you need to log into the class right now is to download a different browser. Assuming you're using Safari, some possible alternatives include Firefox by Mozilla, and Chrome by Google.
If you continue to experience problems please provide more information about the iMac, version of the Mac OS, and which browser version you are using. Most browsers have the ability to block pop-up windows. You just need to check your options. Here's what it looks like in the current version of Safari.

I havev installed a new Hard Drive on my laptop but cannot find my Photoshop Elements product box with the serial number to install Elements 10 or Elememts Premier 10. How can I find out the serial / installation codes for these?

I havev installed a new Hard Drive on my laptop but cannot find my Photoshop Elements product box with the serial number to install Elements 10 or Elememts Premier 10. How can I find out the serial / installation codes for these? I saw a reply however, it was not my name and assumed it was for someone else. Now timed out. Can UI still have help on this matter please?

If you registered PSE before, go to the main page of adobe.com, sign in and go to your account and you should find the serial number there in your purchases.

Instead of printing it, try saving it as a pdf from the print menu, and then printing the pdf out.
