I'm unable to install Firefox onto my Windows Vista computer because when I download the .exe file, it doesn't show up anywhere on my computer.

I click on the download button on the Firefox website and it processes as if it is downloading. Once it is finished processing, I'm unable to find the file to install it with the install wizard. I tried it by both running and saving the file. In both cases, the file just vanishes.

  • I'm unable to install the newest version of itunes on my pc, the promt says that there is a problem with the windows installer package, but I have downloaded the exe more than once. Is anyone able to help?

    I'm unable to install the newest version of itunes on my pc, the promt says that there is a problem with the windows installer package, but I have downloaded the exe more than once. Is anyone able to help?

    Yes, I had found a similar solution also.  I'm running XP Pro, SP3.  I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair.  Then run the 10.5 exe.
    While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess.  Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes.  Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing.  I haven't begun to work on that.

    Nothing in the Acrobat 8.x product family is compatible with Windows 7 (or any contemporary OS).
    The Acrobat 8.x product family passed into End of Support way back -- (November 2011).
    The current release of Acrobat (XI) is compatible in Windows 7.

AND I am up to date with all service packs and Windows updates.

  • Unable to install JRE 6u24 at Windows Vista 64 bit

    Hej
    When I start I see a dilalog window popup and then it is removed imeediately. I am not able to see the text. Then nothing happens. When I go through all running processes I see that 3 instances of msiexec.exe have started. One of them takes 13% of the CPU and will run for ever.
    Any suggestions?
    Regards
    Anders

    Do the following:
    1. Ensure that you are a member of the Windows Administrators group. If not, you will not be able to perform the installation.
    2. Ensure that any previous attempts to install have been terminated (refer to the Task Manager)
    3. Decrease or disable UAC. Refer to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off
    4. Once you have completed the above (reboot may be necessary), right mouse click on the JRE installable you downloaded (i.e. jre-6u24-windows-i586.exe). Select "Run as Administrator"
    Be sure to do this from the local machine and not a remote machine. For example do not do this using VNC, Remote Desktop Sharing, ect.
    Also, if you have older JRE versions installed, I would recommend uninstalling them and rebooting first.

  • Firefox used to automatically open pdf's when I downloaded them, but now it doesn't. Can I reset it to open pdf's automatically?

    Not sure what to add except that it's more convenient for pdf's to open automatically when I download them, but I don't know how to make that happen.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think it started when I switched my downloads to a different folder (on my desktop), but it didn't get fixed when I switched back to the download folder.

    Foxit Reader is for Windows only.

  • I can't install firefox on my windows vista, when i download it and extract it, it ask for the administrator password. My account is the administrator to I click current account and it does nothing.

    Download firefox, extract, it ask for administrator name and password or you can click current account (current account is administrator in my case) I click current account. The window goes away and nothing else happens.

    i have this problem too but its done now,
    just right click in your firefox.exe than choice run as administrator.
    its work on my windows 7....

  • How can I install firefox on my I-pad? safari won't download the file. Safari sucks.

    Safari will not load files. How do I get fiefox and google on My I-pad?

    There is no version of Firefox (whether mobile or desktop) for the iPad or iPod touch or iPhone.
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms#Other_Platforms
    iPhone/iPad/iPod
    We have no plans to release the full Firefox browser for iOS. The iOS SDK agreement requires apps to use Apple's own JavaScript engine (or none at all, like Opera Mini which downloads pre-rendered pages from Opera's servers and cannot run JavaScript code in the client). Because of this, we have no supported way to distribute Firefox's rendering and JavaScript engine to iPhone users.
    However, you can download Firefox Home for iPhone, an iOS app that uses Firefox Sync to deliver Firefox bookmarks, browsing history, and tabs to your iPhone or iPod Touch.

  • I just started using firefox version 26 official. I noticed that after downloading one exe file firefox did not security scan. Earlier version always did.

    I just started using Firefox version 26 official today. I noticed that after downloading any file Firefox is not performing security scan. Earlier version always did. Does FF26 do security scan at the time of downloading itself? or security scan has been removed from the Firefox 26? i like the new UI of Firefox but i am security conscious.

    You can check the <b>browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and if necessary reset this pref via the right-click context menu to the default value.

  • I re-installed Firefox on my laptop; but other users did not get the program installed under their log-in; how do I fix this?

    I recently un-installed Firefox on my Windows Vista laptop; when I re-installed it, the program is only available to me (the administrator of the laptop); two other users are not able to use the program. I've tried "right-clicking" on the Firefox icon, clicking on Properties, then Security, and adding the two other users to the list, but after clicking on "apply" and then "OK", the other users still don't have access to the program. How do I fix this? Thanks!
