I want to use Firefox and my husband wants to use internet explorer. Can we do that?

'''vista'''We have always used Internet Explorer as our browser but lately, some of my links will not open. I want to install Firefox because that is what we use at work and my sites open there. Can we continueu to use both?

Yes you can. You can even have Firefox and IE running at the same time.

Google Chrome and Firefox won't open any sites. Internet explore can.

Internet Explorer will run any sites. After installing google chrome and firefox its opens the browser but then when i enter a site, any site, it just wont go... It's not giving me an error message... i push the "enter" key and the busy locator, the circle thing that rotates to indicate the page is loading. it just pops for like 1 sec still remains on the main page.

Hello justinmendoza89, check if your [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet#os=win7&browser=fx16 firewall] or other security software(antivirus, antispyware) prevent firefox access .

What is the best way to be able to run certain websites that aren't supported by safari, firefox, and chrome, in other words only internet explorer?

I really need to do a class online but it wont save progress because it is not supported by safari and only works with internet explorer. What is the best way around this?

Try this with Safari ...
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the menu bar again click Develop > User Agent
Try IE 9, 8, or 7.
An alternative is to create a partition on the Mac hard drive and install Windows using Boot Camp but that is a long and drawn out process and you would need to purchase an Window install disc.

Can not print to my HP officejet 6500 printer. Have to use internet explorer to print documents that are sent

with Firefox as my default browser, can not print documents. Have to change to internet explorer to print.

Hello , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're having issues regarding your print output. I'd like to help! Although you've performed steps similar to a power reset, I'd recommend running these steps before working with the steps found in the document. I would recommend removing the ink cartridges from the printer, and perform a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar. I would also suggest following the steps in this document on Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet 6810 and Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer Series. Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

My Mac (10.5.8) has been crashing this week while using Firefox. The Firefox and Thunderbird updates are the only updates I can think of that are recent. Any ideas?

My whole Mac has crashed a number of times both yesterday and today. This is very unusual. I'm not positive it's because of Firefox's new update, but it seemed like a good guess, and it was usually when I was on various websites (I was going through a lot of emails from news lists and clicking on links). I use Thunderbird for email, and Firefox is my browser of preference. It crashed three times so far today, over several hours, and yesterday I guess it probably crashed about 6 times -- not sure.

Update Soundflower to the most recent version. You have an unsupported edition. http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/downloads/detail?name=Soundflower-1.6.6b.dm g&can=2&q=

Means at the server side, for each request it is creating one thread, but it is creating two threads for the same request at a time when I submit using Internet Explorer.
can u plz suggest me what could be the reason
Thanks
Javed

Hi malco,
Yes it is attatch with submit button. probably you are correct, but it works fine with mozilla... ..... Then what will be the reason ? Actually my code is
<input class="topButton" type="submit" name="do_action" value="Login" onmouseover="this.className='topButton_over';" onmouseout="this.className='topButton';" onclick="doSubmit('Login');">
in doSubmit() is a JS code
doSubmit()
document.forms[0].submit();
Anyway thanks for reply...

I cannot open my Hotmail emails from Firefox. I have been on the hotmail Help Forum and they suggest to use Internet Explorer. Does Forefox not support Hotmail now?

Hi,
I can log into hotmail but cannot open my emails or go to Sent items or anything. I have gone on the Hotmail Help Forum and MANY people are having the same problem. Hotmail say we should use Internet explorer and they do not really answer about using Firefox.
People using Firefox 3 and 4 are having problems.
Also, i downloaded Forefox 4.0.1 and it was not fully compatible with Kaspersky - has this problem also now been resolved?
In summary - is Forfox 4.0.1 NOT comaptible with Hotmail and Kaspersky?

Sorry, I can't help with Hotmail, beyond clearing the cache - I haven't used it for 11 or 12 years now. Surprising that a Firefox 3.6 version would have trouble there, as 3.6 has been around for well over a year and Hotmail problems are usually with a recent release of Firefox.
IMO, if Hotmail support can't help you with Firefox issues on their website and can only recommend using IE, maybe it's time to change web mail service providers. My advice is to signup with a different web mail service, one that takes Firefox seriously. Then set up forwarding in your Hotmail account to have all your Hotmail emails forwarded to that new account. Then slowly transition your email contacts over to the new email address over time. As long as you log in to Hotmail every month or two, your account there should stay active and emails sent there should get forwarded to the new email account. I have done that three times in the last decade, and the first one I transitioned from was still forwarding email thru the two intermediary accounts to my current account until last summer when that service finally changed owners and they wanted all new accounts set up or transitioned to their new software - which I didn't do - and I hadn't even signed into my account there in over 4 years and "forwarding" was still working.

Why can't I open or read my email in firefox. This problem started last week, and now I have to use internet explorer to read my emails.

On Oct. 28th problem started when I went to email preview page and could not open or read any emails. I have been using Firefox browser for several years and never had this problem before the above date. If I want to read emails, I have to use Internet Explorer now.

You may have zoomed the page by accident with Ctrl and the mouse scroll wheel.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

Why don't I see the 'Emoticons' and 'Format' tabs when composing a message in the new Yahoo Mail, using Firefox, but I do when using Internet Explorer?

I have been using the new Yahoo Mail on Firefox. But today I noticed that when I write an email (Compose/Reply/Forward), I cannot format it. Only the 'Attachments' tab is present, but the 'Emoticons' and 'Format' tabs are not.
But when I do it using Internet Explorer, all those tabs are present and I can format and do whatever.
Is there something wrong with my Firefox? I have restarted my computer, I have shut it down, but my Yahoo Mail remains problematic when using Firefox.

Firefox only allows you to save executable files. If you want to add an option to run them you can use the OpenDownload² add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902

How do I access websites that warn: "Firefox is NOT compatible with this application. For best performance, please use Internet Explorer 5.0 and above...."? When I try to download any alternate browser, all I get is another warning that the alternate is "not compatible with your operating system." Is Firefox preventing this? The site listed below is a job application site. I've had this same problem with other job application sites also.

There should be a User Agent Switcher menu item under Tools, which gives you the browser names you can impersonate.
The menu item name changes to the browser UA you are presently using.
There is also a User Agent Switcher button, you can add it using View -> Toolbars -> Customize, and dragging the button to your toolbar.
See http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/features/ and http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/
You can just start trying IE versions (or the versions it says on the site) until it lets you in.

I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working. HELP....

I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working.

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.

I am unable to view some (but not all) videos in Firefox. But I can view ALL videos when I use Internet Explorer. Please help. I do not want to use IE.

as stated, I am unable to view some videos in Firefox, but I am able to view them when I use Internet Explorer. How can I view all videos when using Firefox. Thank you.

That is Flash.
You do have the Flash player installed according to your More system details list, so Flash should be working.
*Shockwave Flash 10.3 r183

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I updated Firefox and now Realplayer can't download any videos( download button in upper right corner of video don't pop up and there is no download option if I right click) if I use Internet explorer it works fine, I also went in to make sure I had it checked to pop up it is?! So it's not just youtube for me its all videos!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== the last firefox update
''locking due to the age of this thread''

haven't tried it myself but saw this earlier in a blog somewhere:
"try retro installing FF v3.6.3",
makes sense 'cos I've only been experiencing the same problem with mozilla & realplayer combo since updating to latest FF v3.6.4
noted that under IE realplayer plugin still works fine, button to 'download this video' comes on as before.....
from what I read retro install will pick up all your bookmarks etc. do no worries there
naughty, NAUGHTY mozilla people! you were 'bombproof' until today....what happened? good luck sorting it out though!!!! I still luv you!

Trying to download yahoo messenger and I keep getting a connection error. But it stats must use internet explorer to fix. I only have firefox, no internet explorer.. anyway to get around it?

Once again, I am trying to download Yahoo messenger and It only has tips for Internet explorer We only have Firefox (mozilla) installed and so I need help getting around this in order to install.

And they do offer a compatible version. As I am running running Netflix on my first generation iPad just fine.
You'll need to first "purchase" the non compatible version either on a newer device that can run it or on a computer running iTunes using the Apple ID that is on the first Gen iPad.
After that is done, you should be able to go into the App Store App, and find Netflix under the Purchased Tab. Tap on it to download it and you should be warned its not compatible, but will be offered the compatible version.
