In trying to download Firefox 4.0, it "paused" at 37% of the way and will not finish the download. Why?

I could not open NY Times articles today because Firefox would not let me. I reported this twice. I received a window telling me to update Firefox ~~ and I'm trying to do this. As I said, Firefox download4.0.dmg paused and will not finish the download. It's been over 10 minutes and I don't know how to proceed.

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar to get the new appearance.<br />
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
You can place the Tab Bar on top.

  • When I close firefox it warns me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is cancel or OK.

    This just started. When I close firefox it warns me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is cancel or OK. When I say OK and restart Firefox all my tabs are going:-( This happens every time now. I know how to get my old tabs back but every time I close Firefox it always warns me that I am closing multiple tabs.
    Tanks for helping me get me Firefox working correctly again

    Do not use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the "Browsing History".
    *Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.

  • Movie rental froze during download and will not finish downloading or let me reorient it?

    I rented a movie on iTunes for my iPad and began watching the movie. I needed to pause to goto work, but when ingot home the movie rental would not open. I went into iTunes and it showed that it needed to download. It downloaded till the end where it says processing,but then froze there. My movie rental counted down and then ended,but it still shows as downloading in iTunes and will not let me clear it or recent the movie.

    I have this same issue.  It has happened with two movies I rented.  Actually, I watched most of both movies but they are both still on my iPhone despite the 24-hour expiration.  Both movies are frozen at the "processing" step.

  • Firefox is about 80 percent downloaded onto my new iMac computer and will not finish.

    I have a new iMac computer and tried to download Firefox. It downloaded about 80 percent and stopped. what should i do?

    Are you updating or downloading the full version?
    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Syncing downloaded movies from itunes to ipad which then suddenly stops and will not finish the sync stating itunes could not copy  "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. restored the ipad to factory settings, reinstalled itune

    I have had to format my PC running windows 7, and reset my ipad 1 to factory settings, i then installed latest itunes on the PC authorised the PC and re downloaded several movies via itunes previous purchases, all was well until i tried to sync the ipad to the PC, only some of the movies synced onto the ipad, otheres stalled the sync stating itunes could not copy  "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. I have to pull the plug on the ipad just to get itunes to unfreeze, but it still will not sync these movies. and one help

    Hi
    I was having the same issue with music and movies but it had been ok before. The sync would freeze on a random file and then i had to take out the USB cable to clear it. After trying all sorts of things i saw someone mentioning about Anti virus and firewalls. I am using McAfee so i disabled it as a test. After this i could sync music and movies without issue!!!!! So in my case the firewall/anti virus was causing a problem. McAfee updates itself a lot so I am guessing something has happened in a recent update that impacted iTunes.I am not sure if this kind of thing is also causing your problem but it sounds very familiar.
    Hope this helps.

  • Icloud is only downloading 438 of my439 songs and will not finish.

    I have been trying to use my icloud to back up my music and it is only partially finishing. I cannot get it to complete. I do not know which song is not being downloaded.

    Yeah for me the music on my 4s keeps stopping and I have to click to the next song sometimes keep clicking until a song plays........Why? they are not greyed out they are all there matched ....big glitch and not worth the wonderful Icloud experience I thought it was proposed to be. Everything where u want it? not for me . I'm back to plugging it into the mac and loading music the way I have been from the 1st ipod/itunes......Icloud is not  just does not work for me and with that being said I upgraded to Snow leaopard and then downloaded Lion ..just to have the service along with match......and am now experiencing major connection issues with the airport and 1tb Time capsul....Why release it if there are so many issues? I have been a hard core Apple guy for at least 15 years and now wondering if the path they have chose to include the masses is hurting their ability to release stable systems....oops there it goes again my time capsul shut down on its own and restarted my download which ironically erased the whole kitten caboodle. Yup ..they need a new slogan ...JUST WORKS! NOT!!!!!!

  • I purchased a song and will not finish downloading, says try later.

    WWill not download, try back later.

    Make sure you are connected to a good wifi connection. Do a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Once the phone restarts, check to see if the download starts, if not, tap on the application icon. It should go into the download/waiting status. You may have to tap it more than once.

  • Downloading a tv episode causes iTunes to wait and will not finish download

    I purchased the complete season 1 & 2 of Game of Thrones which came with a digital download.  I have downloaded all but one episode of season 1 and all but one episode of season 2 BECAUSE the download for both goes into a perpetual wait condition.  Both downloads have stalled at 1.8 mB of 2.22 gB and 2.18 gB.  Any suggested fixes?  I am running Mavericks and i tunes 11.1.3.

    I have done all of these things multiple times, at least twice before I opened the Help Desk Ticket.  No change after doing the process.
    This was a reply to an earlier "Help Desk" person
    Yousuff,
    I followed your instructions to no success. The exact same two episodes refuse to download, with the exact same conditions I reported. I do IT for a NASA contractor so I understand the support process companies use & getting through the beginning troubleshooting process for remote users, so let's move on.
    1) I don't see the issue as related to downloads being enabled or marked finished 38 other items successfully came down before & after my initial issue.
    2) The problem is repeatable with the exact same results.
    3) My machine has been shutdown since yesterday morning. I booted it, launched iTunes & am now in the same state as before, both episodes stuck @ 1.8 mB in the download & it will stay in this state until I restart iTunes, now matter how long I wait.
    4) My machine is running Mavericks & iTunes is 11.1.3 (8). Our internet provider is Comcast. My mini is on a wired network.

  • When Firefox opens my MSN homepage is out of date and will not update

    When Firefox (v 4) opens my homepage is out of date and will not update to the current date even when reloaded

    I'd recommend you delete the URL to your homepage which is causing the problem via Tools | Options | General and then go to the MSN homepage again and click the button "Use Current Page".
    MSN may have changed the coding in the URL which is causing Firefox to load an outdated page with your current settings.

  • I attmepted to down load firefox to my laptop. The download stops at 70% complete and doesw not finish.. I have tried downloading it twice.

    I am attemptin to install firefox on my laptop. I have tried it 2 times. Both times it stopped at 70 or 80 percent conmplete and did not finish . The first time it timed out because it was taking to long.

    Currently there is no Flash support for Firefox on Android. Fret not though, there are mobile developers working on front-end Flash support currently and if all follows through you will see Flash support in the near future in a future release of Firefox Aurora.

  • The computer says that my flash players is out of date, so I tried to update,   The download starts by stops at 25% and will not continue.

    the computer says that my flash players is out of date so I tried to update.  The download starts by stops at 25% and will not continue.

    Had the same problem (stalling at 25% or 30%).
    This worked for me:
    1.     Reboot computer or use Activity Monitor to force quit any prior Adobe Flash installation process that may be still running
    2.     Download Adobe Flash update using this link (assuming you are using Safari or Firefox): Flash Player for Safari and Firefox - NPAPI 
    3.     Mount flash player by clicking on flash drive icon on desktop
    4.     Right click on Flash file
    5.     Choose 'Show Package Contents'
    6.     Open 'Contents' then 'Resources'
    7.     Run file 'Adobe Flash Player.pkg'
    8.     Reboot computer.

  • Ever since the most recent firefox update, every time I try to download anything firefox stops responding and will not do anything until I restart it. Can I revert back to a previous version, or is there a fix for it?

    Every time I try to download anything firefox stops responding and will not do anything until I restart it. Can I revert back to a previous version, or is there a fix for it? When I restart firefox, then the download continues and all is well until I try to download something new (which I do quite often).

    You may well find this article of interest and help in sorting out your problems: [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]] The article does contain a link for previous versions, but also points out other troubleshooting advice that may be more appropriate in some instances.
    Another useful article is [[Basic Troubleshooting]]
    I hope you sort out your problems either by downgrading or finding the cause of the problem.

  • Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty.

    Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty. It now has a blank bar under the launch pad and no matter how many times I try re-downloading it or restarting my computer it does not work. I use too play starcraft and other games on this computer although new patched/updates have made it that I can no longer do that now. Really frustrating having to deal with this especially after buying this computer upfront and now out of warranty.

    Go to your Applications folder and find a file called "Install OS X Mavericks".  Send it to the trash and delete it.  Then try the download again.
