Internet explorer is blocking firefox from downloading

I was able to do the download but immediately got a message from internet explorer that it blocked my download. I click on run but nothing happens so can't get past that point. I am having so much trouble with IE that I have got to get with firefox. Thanks

  • My favorites didn't transfer over when I downloaded firefox. how to import favorites from internet explorer 9 to firefox 4.1

    None of my favorites from internet explorer transferred to firefox when I downloaded firefox. How can I get my old favorites into bookmarks in firefox 4.1? Thank you.

    Please see here: [[Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer]]

  • I switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox and my bookmarks don't appear to have been transferred. The FAQ's say it should be in a folder marked Internet Explorer in the "Bookmarks Menu", but it's not there.

    Did you see a "Bookmark" tab in your Menu Bar? All of your IE Favorites should be there if you pull it down.
    FYI, It's called Bookmarks in Firefox.

  • Block users from downloading from internet

    I'm curious as to what everyone is using to block users from downloading certain file types (.exe, msi, zip, bat, etc) from the internet? We had websense, now barracuda for a web filter but have major issues with filtering downloads from the internet. The main issues is filtering SSL sites.

    Hello,
    The WSA has a feature called Object Filtering which allows admin's to configure access policy parameters to block certain file types from being downloaded through the WSA. To apply the same settings to HTTPS requests the WSA would need to decrypt the request.
    I Hope this helps.

  • How can i change from internet explorer to Mozilla firefox when entering adobe ID?

    I ordered a photoshop element 13 licence. Everything went fine until I am asked to put my Adobe ID and password. My windows computer in combination with internext explorer cannot open the adobe internet side. When I am using Mozilla firefox I am able to log into www.adobe.com. Therefore I would like to ask if there is any chance to switch from internet explorer to mozilla firefox during login process?

    If you can login on Adobe.com then clearly you are logged in  on Adobe platform.  If you want to login to use these forums then click this link and login in the usual way using Firefox browser:

  • Internet Explorer begins blocking out-of-date ActiveX controls

    On Wednesday 6th August 2014, we announced that as part of our ongoing commitment to delivering a more secure browser, starting September 9th Internet Explorer will block out-of-date ActiveX controls. (Note: The original post stated that the ActiveX blocking
    would begin on August 12th. Please refer to the addendum for further details).
    Please take a look at this important update via the
    blog post as well as the FAQ contained therein and commence testing within your domain.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hello,
    There seems to be an entry missing in the
    versionlist.xml file.
    There is an entry missing for wsdetect.dll (isInstalled Class ActiveX Control) from Java 1.7, I believe (there is an entry for 1.6, 1.5, 1.4 but 1.7 is missing).
    Here is the relevant portion of the XML file:
    <blocklistentry key="{5852f5ed-8bf4-11d4-a245-0080c6f74284}" entrytype="2">
    <versionentries numberofelements="4">
    <versionentry groupname="Java(TM) 1.6.0_81" filename="wsdetect.dll" productversion="6.0.810.0-6.65535.65535.65535" fileversion="6.0.810.0-6.65535.65535.65535" />
    <versionentry groupname="Java(TM) 1.5.0_71" filename="JavaWebStart.dll" productversion="5.0.710.0-5.65535.65535.65535" fileversion="5.0.710.0-5.65535.65535.65535" />
    <versionentry groupname="Java(TM) 1.4.2_43" filename="JavaWebStart.dll" productversion="1.4.2.430-1.4.65535.65535.65535" fileversion="1.4.2.430-1.4.65535.65535.65535" />
    <versionentry groupname="Java(TM)" filename="*" productversion="*" fileversion="*" />
    </versionentries>
    This causes the alert prompt to appear when using Java 1.7 update 67 even though it's allowed by XML.
    To reproduce, please go to a site that uses wsdetect.dll like Wikipedia (like here
    http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Example.ogg) and check if the prompt appears for you.

  • Google desktop and Picasa open Internet Explorer even though Firefox is my default browser

    I am using Firefox 6, and no matter what I do clicking on Google Desktop opens Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. I have set Firefox as the default browser in at least 3 places: In Firefox itself; on the Internet Options section of the Control Panel; In the add/remove programs Set Default Programs screen. This is all in Windows XP professional. The same problem happens with Picasa online albums (when I go from my computer's Picasa to Web Albums). I don't know when this started, but now I cannot get my Web timeline. I have uninstalled Google Desktop.

    Hello nanemy1854, set also firefox as default browser in Add or Remove Programs list in win xp, see for more information : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/setting-firefox-default-browser-does-not-work#w_windows-xp Firefox as default browser in win xp].

  • Mm_menu.js HTML5 changes Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox

    Mozilla Technical Support,
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/bg182625(v=vs.85).aspx
    mm_menu.js is an output of Dreamweaver and enables drop-down menus. Microsoft is eliminating
    document.all and replacing it with document.getElementById
    to comply with HTML5 standards
    I modified mm_menu.js as Microsoft recommended (so I thought) and it worked perfectly well in Internet Explorer. However, I couldn’t get the drop-down menus in Mozilla Firefox. What do I need to do to get mm_menu.js to work or does Firefox need to make additional modifications?
    FYI, I tried using the following quick fix which resulted in the Internet Explorer page displaying incorrectly:
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"/>
    See below for the modified version of mm_menu.js
    It would be nice if the same javascript worked in both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
    Thanks,
    Robin Rembish

    Yeah, it would have been nice if IE had followed web standards over the years before IE11 came out so that programs like Dreamweaver would have "gotten it right" from the beginning, instead of their users having to "patch" the code output by Dreamweaver to make it compatible now. That's what the "like Gecko" is all about = make it work like Mozilla.
    Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

  • I created a web page in MS Word and saved it as html; it has lots of graphics; the graphics load perfectly in Internet Explorer but in Firefox there is simply white space where the graphics should appear

    The web page is not live: I just load it on my computer. When I convert the .docx file to .html, the graphics are saved by MS Word in the usual folder as image001.png, up to image032.png.
    I'm sure this is a trivial problem but I can't crack it.
    Many thanks. RS

    Does that "local" page work in Internet Explorer, but not Firefox?
    If so, it might be a \ vs. / problem with the file path for those images.

  • Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

    Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

    I found this on another forum and it worked for me.
    This problem usually has to do with TCP/IP or Winsock requiring a reset.
    Winsock entries tells Windows 7 how to access your network services. Additionally, your TCP/IP protocol can
    be corrupted. The TCP/IP protocol is a stack of 4 layers that includes several transport layers, but when this stack is corrupt you will constantly have connectivity issues.
    You need Admin access to enter the codes below. Windows button + x, then choose Command Prompt (Admin)
    netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)
    netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)
    You may have to reinstall Chrome and Firefox or reboot to have the chnage take place.
    Hi,
    This seems to be the only solution to my problem, however this is temporary. Any advice on a more permanent resolution?
    I have also tried  to disable  "Automatically detect settings" under: "Internet Options/Connections/LAN settings/Automatically
    detect settings".
    This has no affect.
    Thanks,

    Can you verify that you have it enabled in your settings?

  • I've downloaded quicktime but every time I try to play a video on the apple website using internet explorer it asks me to download quicktime. If I use safari it works fine. Any suggestions

    I've downloaded quicktime but every time I try to play a video on the apple website using internet explorer it asks me to download quicktime again yet if I'm safari it plays fine. Any suggestions?

    That sounds like IE wants you to install the QuickTime ActiveX control.
    Go back to the page you're getting the message on. At the bottom of the screen, can you see a long rectangular box asking you to allow/install something? (Sorry, it's been a while since I've seen the box in question, so I can't recall the precise wording.)
    If so, allow/OK in that box. After the ActiveX control has gone in, can you see the videos in IE?

  • How do I get my Favorites from Internet Explorer put on Firefox when I don't even know what file my original Favorites came in when I used Internet Explorer?

    I understand that if I go to "File" and then to "Import" I should be able to somehow get all my previous files that where with the Internet Explorer browser relocated to the Mazilla browser...but I don't know how to do that. Give me detailed help please.

    It did merge them after a fashion, glad I took a backup first even if I did only perhaps create 3 or 4 bookmarks today. So if I have bookmark separators, it's going to figure out which group to put them in (no way). Anyway I thought they would just go down to the bottom of the bookmarks menu like the other method, like when I export and import bookmarks in Firefox where they do go to the end of the Bookmarks Menu folder and would simply delete one folder.
    Anyway this would not be typical because I don't want any bookmarks from IE.
