I understand the latest version cannot be protected by "Avast" antivirus. Is this correct? I have stopped using firefox for this reason.

I understand the latest version of firefox cannot be protected by Avast antivirus. Is this true? I have stopped using firefox until it can accommodate avast.

You can look at the new pre-release version of Avast.

    Airparrot is your only option in my opinion. I have not tried it myself yet but here is a link to their website. They offer a trial so check it out.

    i have a HP laptop, when i try to do certain things that require flash player it tells me i need to install the latest version so when i try it says its already installed. i have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions and it stll isnt working. I even checked the activex filtering and that doesn't seem to be the problem.

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

  • Another web browser has hijacked my Firefox and I cannot see how to get rid of it. In the meantime, I have stopped using Firefox on my laptop because I do not trust this other web browser.

    A website I was using to find out some transport information has hijacked my Firefox on my laptop and I am unable to get rid of it. I do not trust this other browser so I have stopped using Firefox altogether on my laptop until I find out how to get rid of this other browser. I have an Apple MacBook.

    Hi there and thanks for replying. I am not quite sure what you mean by 'restore back to the troubled date'. Would you please explain how I should do this?

  • I cannot seem to download the latest version of Adobe Flash to my Mac 10.7.5.  It stops at 95 percent finished.  Any helpful hints out there??

    I've been trying for some time.  It seems to install fine until it reaches 95 percent finished.  Then, it freezes up and nothing else happens. 
    I've tried deleting all the old files under Adobe Flash and re-installing the latest version for mac. 
    Nothing. 
    Any leads on this???  Thank you for your time!

    katiafromasheville,
    have you tried downloading the standalone version of Flash Player? If that downloads completely, then you should be able to install it successfully.

  • I have OSX 10.6.8 and i am told i need 10.7.4 to get the latest version of imovie how do I go about this?

    I have an iMac running OSX 10.6.8. I currently have iMovie version 8.0.6 and would like to upgrade iMovie to iMovie 11
    I am told I need Mac OSX Version 10.7.4. How do I go about upgrading the operating system.
    Many Thanks

    Not so. iMovie 11 works fine with Snow Leopard.
    As for upgrading your operating system:
    You can purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • When I try to update firefox to the latest version, it comes up with a corrupt file error and won't install. Same for adobe flash player.

    It seems that as of yesterday 05/10/13, anything that is downloaded will not install. Tried updating to the latest version of firefox, but that give the error of corrupt files.

    It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files
    *browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • I have been using Firefox for over 10 years with minimal problems, but recently (within the past 2 months) something has changed and I cannot get any sound to play, even on previous web sites that did work. I'll just have to go back to IE!

    Windows XP, Firefox 3.6.13 version, I am thinking it would be better to back up to a previous version of Firefox that did work! What was the latest version as of October 2010?

    Thanks to some hints in several strings, I went back to the Control Panel in XP, clicked on Sounds and Devices, clicked on Audio, then changed the default device to the Realtek HD Audio output I have on my computer. Now I can hear You Tube video sound and other Internet audio fine, at least for now. I will come back if it stops again. Thanks to all who posted.

    Hi nomadsjangle,
    <u>'''Short answer,'''</u> downgrade to Flash 10.3, Firefox should then work ok, and hopefully RealPlayer will be fully functional.<br/>For instructions see [[flash 11.3 crashes]]
    Sorry you are having problems. I am not sure why you decided to blame Firerfox for this problem.
    If you pay for and install RealPlayer why do you blame Firefox when you need to uninstall it to play video ? Why not blame RealPlayer, FlashPlayer, or even another browser!
    This is a known issue and developers from Firefox, Flash and Realplayer have been involved with this for a few weeks. There have been a few changes in that time but no full solution that suits everyone is available, or likely in the immediate future AFAIK.
    I suspect your problem is due to the fact that FlashPlayer 11.3 introduced a security feature known as ''protected mode''. (Flash 11.3 may also have other issues with Firefox) RealPlayer (certainly the versions current when Flash11.3 was released) has problems with this. Real player is or was causing problems with use of Flash to view videos on Firefox with Flash 11.3.
    Note FlashPlayer will be installed on the Operating System as a plugin, and may be used by more than one browser (although it needs different software for IE).
    Downgrade Flash to 10.3 then if you still have problems post back, confirm the Flash Player version you have now,and the RealPlayer version.
    Note
    * if you use the Adobe uninstaller you may need to reinstall FlashPlayer on IE
    * take care not to follow advice from plugincheck FlashPlayer etc to upgrade to the latest version, until this issue is resolved.
    * this is a temporary solution, you should upgrade again once this is resolved.

  • Can not connect to the internet. This is a new problem since I have been using firefox for years.

    I can not connect to the internet. I called mediacom due to the problem and they connected me to internet explorer. They indicated I should contact you for help in connecting to the internet. It appears firefox has made some kind of change since last night since I was using firefox for my internet connection last night. Something has changed. Your help will be appreciated.

    The only way that file opens thru IE8 for me ''(but not actually in IE8)'' is by using the Zip Utility (then IE closes) that is in WinXP and then opening the two image files in the Windows Fax and Picture Viewer.
    I think Firefox is trying to display that file because the MIME-type is for '''''text/plain''''' instead of the appropriate MIME-type of '''application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml''' or '''application/vnd.google-earth.kmz'''
    That is something that needs to be configured in the server that is hosting that file type. Sorry, I don't know how that can be fixed. The one support person here that might know lives in Europe ''(I believe)'', so you might need to wait for an answer.
