Internet Explorer prevented installation of Mozilla for safety reasons

When attempting to install Mozlla Firefox, an Internet Explore pop-up appeared warning of safety issues with going forward in the installation.

You may be getting a general Internet Explorer warning about installing software from the internet. Obviously you should always be careful.
Make sure to download from the official site: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
It may be better to "save" the download to a convenient location instead of using "run". This will give you a chance to scan the file for viruses if your computer doesn't do that automatically.

Internet Explorer 11 installation WMI Timeout KB2729094

Hey,
I have a lot of Win7 SP1 PCs here on which I receive an WMI timeout error during Internet Explorer 11 installation.
Error is the following (always with the same hotfix):
WMI query for Hotfixes timed out. Query string: 'Select HotFixID from Win32_QuickFixEngineering WHERE HotFixID="KB2729094"' Error: 0x00040004 (262148).
If I run the same query in powershell it takes long, but it ends with success.
Get-WMIObject -Query $('Select HotFixID from Win32_QuickFixEngineering WHERE HotFixID="KB2729094"') -Namespace "ROOT\CIMv
What I already tried was to reinstall the hotfix.
I although applied hotfix KB2834140 of slow WMI and tried to repair the WMI with following batch:
sc config winmgmt start= disabled
net stop winmgmt /y
%SYSTEMDRIVE% >nul
cd %windir%\system32\wbem
For /f %%s in ('dir /b *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %%s
wmiprvse /regserver
winmgmt /regserver
net start winmgmt
for /f %%s in ('dir /b *.mof *.mfl') do mofcomp %%s
But all without success. If I reistall the device installation works without problems, but it is not possible for me to reinstall nearly all my devices newly.
Thank you for help in advance.

I would say that this isn't specifically related to IE11 installation, but is more likely to be due to WMI on your machines, and IE11 installation is merely a victim of the state of WMI on your machines ;)

Internet explorer 6.0+ or Mozilla Firefox 1.5+ ??

Hello fellow forum-readers,
I'm from the Netherlands so my english might be a bit terrible sometimes..
I just got my macbook Yesterday and after finally getting a internet connection i tried surfing to my school site. Unfortunately i get the next message:
This application requires Internet Explorer 6.0+ or Mozilla Firefox 1.5+
[userAgent:Mozilla\5.0(Macintosh;U;Intel Mac OS X 1064; nl-nl(AppleWebKit/533.18.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2Safari/533.18.5]
i tried to download a Mozilla Firefox from the apple site ( it was like 3.6.??) but it didn't worked and i don't know what to do now. Do i need internet explorer or mozilla firefox, what is the difference??
Also when i put, using a USB, word documents on my mac i cannot see the illustrations/pictures that used to be on there?? How is this possible? Hopefully you can help me solve these issues a.s.a.p.
Greetings, Roos

thanx for the quick response.
I've downloaded mozilla firefox now and i' allowed to go on the site. an other problem is that i cannot open files there i need too select a program witch i use to open the documents with...
I've tried allot but i do'nt know what i need to use for that. Every thing is try let's me with a download of the document withs i don't want and doesnt work.
A little bit frustrated.
The site is through fontys.nl you need to log in with a personal code en then i go to elo.fontys.nl ( that's the site with all the documents)
FOr the rest the apple/macbook system is really different and i know i need to put some hours/days in it before i can use it normally so i'm studing on it right now...

Diane,
I have added very few apps to my G5. The majority of my time is spent editing photos with PhotoshopCS3. I have software updates set to run weekly and have always kept them up to date. I really believe it's a disk permissions issue...but repairing them doesn't help.
*+Upon installation, I used Archive and Install.+* While I agree that Erase and Install may sound like a good idea, it makes me nervous. I do have everything backed up on a bootable CMS drive, but I'm a photographer and was hoping to not have to erase the G5.
Yes, as I mentioned in the original post, I've downloaded and installed the Airport firmware update. And all software is up to date.
All was working just dandy before the upgrade. Unfortunately now it's sounding like I may have to erase my hard drive and install fresh.
If I do that, is it just a matter then of dragging my photos from the backup disk to the G5? And documents? Etc?? The thought of getting all my photos and important information back on the G5 seems a bit staggering.

Windows internet explorer 5.0 or above for E61

I would like to install windows internet explorer 5.0 or above for my Nokia E61 phone. How can i do this safely and what memory size would be required for this download?
Help anybody?

I have E61i and need to go into internet to check my Lotus Notes Email through Sametime but I cannot as it seems that there is a problem with JAVA enabling as the msg i get is make sure that JAVA is enabled on your mobile.
The JAVA is enabled already and I checked it but I still cannot get through at all.
Is there a new Java version that needs to be downloaded and installed? and where from?

Right versions of Java for Internet Explorer 8,8,19 versions for BO 4.1

Hi,
Can any body guide me on the right version of Java(Internet Explorer version 8,9,10) for BI Launch Pad 4.1 SP6?

Hi,
If there is enough time to validate SP06 against MS Windows 10, and if the enterprise market demands it (i.e. our maintained customer-base) then it would certainly be considered.
However, Win 10 isn't out yet, and if SP06 comes out in only few months.. then the timelines aren't favourable.
Realistically, we don't anticipate enterprise organisations to be adopting Win 10 as soon as it comes out.. It's a fringe requirement. But that said, our SPs are designed to offer additional PAM support, so let's see.
Regards,

I cannot download software or export secure Certificate from Firefox, but can with Internet Explorer. This is crucial for meeting a deadline with an international patent Filing Today. Pls help - 555-555-5555. Sheldon

I tried to download an e-filing client software from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) website [http://www.wipo.int/pct-safe/en/download/download_client.htm] using Firefox. Clicking the link to download yielded no activity. I eventually tried the same link in internet explorer and it worked. This occurred last week. I have a deadline to complete an international patent filing today; and in order to do so online, I had to request a Secure Digital ID from WIPO. It was approved and received early this morning (Central European Time Zone); and the accompanying guidelines suggested that I use the same computer and browser to retrieve the ID. This meant that since I use Firefox as my default browser my request was also made and had to be retrieved in Firefox. Following the WIPO support instructions I ran into exactly the same problem of inactivity when trying to "Backup" my newly installed ID certificate per WIPO instruction, so that it may be imported into the e-filing software. Please help as soon as you can as my patent deadline is merely hours away. Please also see a response from the WIPO helpdesk below:
Dear User,
we hereby provide the following solution / answer to your request:
Subject: Certificates (use of and different types)/26708 Answer from PCT-SAFE Help Desk:
Unfortunately, apart from revoking your new certificate and then re-enrolling using Internet Explorer, I do not see many options.
We cannot do support for external software, like Firefox, but I had a quick glance at Mozilla's support side and it seems that you might be able to resolve your problem by starting Firefox in safe mode, and/or disabling all your Firefox extensions. I have to stress the fact that this is not a procedure tested and approved by the PCT-SAFE team.
As this is an extremely time-sensitive issue please also contact me by phone so that we can work through the solution in real-time. I can be reached at 555-555-555 - Sheldon

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Attempting to download from a secure server

Just to follow up on my findings. My last issue regarding the digital certificate was not at the time of initial download into Firefox, but my application required that I backup the certificate into a folder which can then be accessed to sign a submission generated by a third-party Client software.
After finally steering away from the digital signing route by opting for a non digital filing of my project, I later revisited the Firefox certificates list only to find that the 'Backup' button still didn't work or respond in any way whatsoever; however since I only had a single certificate on my list... I threw my hand up in the air and tried the 'Backup All' button... guess what - that worked!! My browser then navigated to a file browser which allowed me to save the certificate to a folder of my choice. Of course this was after the fact as my deadline had already passed and and I had the Administrator who initially granted my secure ID revoke it once I was blocked from downloading it by Firefox.
Just an update/FYI for y'all... But I'm not sure if this type of anomoly is due to a glitch on my computer or a glitch on the browser - but it certainly did catch me off-guard during a deadline.

Javascript in Dreamweaver error in internet explorer but not in mozilla

Hi,
I had a friend create a image viewer of flash files for my
site so when you roll over an image it would show the flash SWF.
However it stalls in internet explorer but works fine in mozilla.
How do I make it work on both here is the code that was used :
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function loadSwf()
document.getElementById('swfLayer').innerHTML = "<object
type='application/x-shockwave-flash'
data='images/Multimedia/orbit.swf' width='400'
height='300'><param name='movie' value='orbit.swf'
/></object>";
function loadSwf2()
document.getElementById('swfLayer').innerHTML = "<object
type='application/x-shockwave-flash'
data='images/Multimedia/banner.swf' width='400'
height='300'><param name='movie' value='banner.swf'
/></object>";
function loadSwf3()
document.getElementById('swfLayer').innerHTML = "<object
type='application/x-shockwave-flash'
data='images/Multimedia/logo.swf' width='400'
height='300'><param name='movie' value='logo.swf'
/></object>";
function loadSwf4()
document.getElementById('swfLayer').innerHTML = "<object
type='application/x-shockwave-flash'
data='images/Multimedia/babypicture.swf' width='400'
height='300'><param name='movie' value='babypicture.swf'
/></object>";
<div id="linksLayer" style="position: absolute; top:
390px; left: 440px; width: 492px;">
<a href="javascript: void(0);" onmouseover="loadSwf();"
style="color: #999999;"><img
src='images/Multimedia/orbit.jpg' onmouseover="loadswf();" />
<a href="javascript: void(0);" onmouseover="loadSwf2();"
style="color: #999999;"> <img

<a href="javascript: void(0);" onmouseover="loadSwf3();"

Where can I find Internet Explorer or Netscape to download for my iMac?

I have a website for some studies that says Internet Explorer or Netscape are the required browsers.
I've tried to open the website using Chrome and Safari but an error message comes up in a big red box.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Internet Explorer is only available for Windows and Netscape was discontinued. There was a Internet Explorer version for Macs, but it was years ago and only for PowerPC-based Macs.
First, you can try enabling the Internet Explorer mode in Safari to see if you can access to the site. To do it, first open Safari, go to Safari menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Advanced, and mark "Show Develop menu in menu bar". Then, close Preferences and go to Develop menu (on the menu bar) > User Agent, and choose one of the Internet Explorer options

Text quality from websites noticeably inferior to Internet Explorer, is there a fix for this?

The quality of text on websites is quite poor with thin type and fuzzy definition, however pictures are good. The quality is noticeably worse than IE8 on the same computer.

Firefox uses your system-level setting for ClearType font anti-aliasing. Internet Explorer has a separate setting so you can use ClearType in IE even if you aren't using it system-wide. This might explain why you see a difference.
Can you check your ClearType setting using the steps in this article:
[http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306527 HOW TO: Use ClearType to Enhance Screen Fonts in Windows XP (MSKB 306527)]
