Task Manager shows its running,but after closing,it won't open. Are there settings to adjust in Windows,or on Internet Options?

How do I install Firefox 4 on to my HP Splashtop (i.e. on the QuickWeb setting)?

My HP Mini has a setting called Splashtop or QuickWeb where I can just start using the internet without loading all of the windows software, however my homepage has recently started showing a message that my firefox browser is outdate and may be prone to attack. I hav tried downloading the firefox 4 to a usb drive but I cannot get it to run. Can anyone help? In the normal mode I have had no problem updating firefox.

I cannot uninstall or install firefox

I was having trouble with flash player not working and decided to uninstall Firefox. ADD/REMOVE Programs cannot remove it. It says: "An error occurred when trying to remove Mozilla Firefox (3.6.16). It may have already been uninstalled."
I also cannot delete the Mozilla Firefox folder from Program Files.
Lastly, I cannot install a new copy of Firefox. The wizard crashes and says:"Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous uninstall of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" Rebooting does not fix the problem.

Installing firefox 4 in Linux Ubuntu

Downloaded Firefox 4 beta3. I'm on Linux (Mint-ubuntu).
I am assuming it detected my OS, because it offered no choices.
(got a .tar.bz2 file)
I was expecting a self-installing file (like Chrome and Virtualbox provide) where one can just click on the file and it installs (just like in windoze). (you guys really should make it as easy as for chrome - not everyone on Linux is a geek).
I have no idea how to install this. If it's just to extract, I don't know the conventions on where to send it, and have it add the program to the Mint menu.
Could you please provide with detailed instructions or point me to the correct file for download? Thanks very much.

Hi,
This is really easy using PPA. Just copy 'n' paste these two commands into a console/terminal shell.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox-4.0

Hey I have a toshiba laptop and I cannot install firefox because the laptop runs android and there's only version for linux...and if u can tell me how to install adobe flash player too...Any advices??

This is a known problem, but we don't have a solution for it. If your device has the Toshiba Market app, you might be able to download a (possibly outdated) version of Firefox from there.
