I now have installed Firefox to replace Internet explorer 9. Do I still need an other antivirus program like Mc Afee or Norton for protection of my laptop?

At this moment I have Mc Afee installed but this will expire within a few weeks.
Do I have to extend this if I use firewall instead of internet explorer?

Yes you do.

Installing firefox brings up internet explorer script error

I've clearly installed some kind of malware, etc... Now, I'm trying to install firefox completely new and right upon startup, directly after asking if I want to run the install I get a popup "Internet Explorer Script Error"
An error has occurred in the script on the page.
Line: 3
Char: 4412
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0
URL: http://d1w1h2aw6b6mz2.cloudfront.net/?v=7&aff=A004
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
If I click no another of the same window will show up with different text. If I click yes, then the installation window has a a blinking textbox that I was seeing in firefox before I uninstalled it, "You may be the 1,000,000 visitor". The installation window itself reads about ConstaSurf program.

And... after Firefox gets installed, before you run it, try creating a clean profile that won't be affected by your earlier settings file and extensions.
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button. I recommend using the default location suggested (i.e., skip the button that lets you change the folder). Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Cleaner?? If so, we can point you to articles on restoring your last bookmark backup to the new profile, and moving over any other critical data.
Or you can try to clean your old profile, which might be less work in the end.
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

Can I install windows essentials in firefox instead of internet explorer

recently installed windows essentials on internet explorer in order to use windows live mail, but would like to have it on firefox. Didnt see a firefox option on the download.

By default if AV software is installed Firefox will use it for instance to scan downloads. Firefox has its own rudimentary Phishing and malware protection
* see http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/security/#secure
** http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/firefox2/
IIRC Windows Essentials does not specifically install on a single browser. I think my Windows machines have that installed and firefox uses it.

Swf link not working in Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer but works in Safari

Hi,
I'm sorry but Im a real newbie and really need help!!!
On the homepage of my website I have put a swf file that I linked to another page in my website through the div a href link and it displays great on safari and links, however in other browsers, when i try to click on it, it comes up with the link at the bottom of the browser (where it sometimes says Done), however it doesnt actually link, it jsut stays on the homepage.
Here is the coding i put in:
<div id="products2">
          <p>
          <a href="Our_brands/index.html">
            <script type="text/javascript">

          </script>
            <noscript>

            </object>
            </noscript>
          </a>
          </p>
        </div>
Could someone please tell me where I am going wrong?
I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thank you in advance!!

I'm doing it for a client and they dont want it put up on the server yet, I wish I could put it up bc I have no idea what I'm doing!
Basically I wanted a swf file from Flash to display a range of products (I have turned all the products into buttons) and then I put coding into all the buttons to on release getURL which work in the swf file, however when I put the swf file into dreamweaver, the buttons worked in hover state, but the action scripting didn't work to link the swf file to another page in the website (the index in Our_brands folder).
So i decided to make it link to the index.html in Our_brands folder from wrapping the swf box in a div tag and linking the div tag <a href="Our_brands/index.html"> which links it great in Safari but wont link in Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer.
Does that make any sense?
Sorry if it doesn't.
Thanks for the quick reply as well!!!

Hi,
This is [[How to make Firefox the default browser]]

How can I go back to previous version of firefox cause 4 sucks and I am going to have to go back to internet explorer?

This version is horrible, and I want to downgrade back to previous version if I can't then I am going back to internet explorer, the search engine is an aberration...just trying to perform a search for hotmail sign in page and had to click on have a dozen responses before I find the one I want where before was right there at the top. If I cannot go back to a previous version, just tell me so I can start using internet explorer, it is horrible as well but at least search engine was not as frustrating to use!!!!

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

I have installed firefox 3.2.64. When i click on the desktop icon nothing happens. The windows task manager says mozilla firefox is running but I can't see it anywhere. What might the problem be?

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.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
*Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
*Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML

Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
Try a different port on the computer.
Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
Upgrade itunes to newest version.
Is you USB cord defective ?
Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
Delete or Disable any antivirus program on your computer ?
I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
We could do this for hours.

There is none. Whatever you do to get rid of the older versions will inevitably do damage to shared components and other stuff of the new versions as well. That's just how it is with this approach... Uninstall the older versions, run the cleaner tool then reinstall CC 2014.

I have installed Firefox 4 but my tabs are NOT on top.

I have installed Firefox 5 on my PC laptop running Windows 7.
My tabs remain where they were, below the address bar.
I also tried to change the width of the tabs. I installed Custom Tab Width but cannot make it work. I can find nothing to click on that will give me the menu of choices.
Are these related problems? Two unrelated problems?
I would appreciate help on both

It that extension doesn't work then you may have another extension or theme interfering and in that case you may have to use CSS code in userChrome.css to make it work.
