Is Firefox available on MacBook Air?

I recently bought an iPad as I thought I'd be able to use it for my university studies. We already have a desktop Mac. I have discovered that I can't get Firefox on the iPad, and my uni studies require Firefox (I understand so that pop-ups and flash are allowed). I am thinking of selling the iPad and buying a MacBook Air but I want to first make sure that I can get Firefox on the MacBook Air. Please let me know whether this is possible.

Hey Jen.Mar,
You should be fine if you are buying a MacBook Air. Take a look at the system requirements for Firefox version 9:

I love my MacBook. Hopefully you'll love it too!

  • After updating Firefox on my MacBook Air (OSX 10.6.8), it has ceased to work. I open it, but it never gets beyond the Connecting... message.

    I have always used Firefox on my MacBook Air. But since updating to the latest version of Firefox (7.0.1), it freezes as soon as I open it - there is a constantly running "Connecting..." message, and the little circle turns continuously, and there is a blank page. Eventually, I get an error message saying "Connection Timed Out" - and it does not matter which website I try to contact. All my other browsers (Safari, Chrome" work fine

    Hi franverdi-
    It sounds like you've run into issues from the upgrade. I've found a Support article that helps with issues of not being able to connect after an upgrade:
    [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]]
    I hope that helps!

  • Any help removing ICSPA from Firefox on my MacBook Air?

    Good you found the answer. It was really a question for the MacBook Air forum.

  • Hiya. Since I upgraded to Firefox 36 my MacBook Air battery has been draining horrendously quickly. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    Since I upgraded to Firefox 36 a few days ago my MacBook Air's battery has been draining at a horrendous rate when I've got Firefox open. For instance, just now when I'd not got Firefox open, my activity monitor told me I've got two hours usage, but as soon as I opened Firefox (even with not having a window open) my usage was instantly downgraded to about 50 minutes. I'm having to recharge the lappy every four hours, which is ridiculous - and wasn't happening until I installed the upgrade.
    On top of that, since I installed the upgrade, Firefox has crashed at least once a day, which hasn't happened at all in the nine months I've had this MacBook Air.
    This isn't like you guys! What's happened?

    Hi Cathy, it is mysterious why Firefox is so busy. Often Firefox has cache maintenance and other tasks that make a lot of disk accesses, but they shouldn't run continuously.
    Could you try operating Firefox in its Safe Mode for a while to see whether that makes any difference? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

  • Migrating FireFox passwords to Macbook Air from powerbook G5

    Planning to buy macbook air is possible to migrate saved passwords form firefox using the assistant?

    Local backups are just that - local to the computer. When your computer backs up to TimeMachine it saves what has been changed since the last backup - not including caches, etc. and that would include local backups.

  • HT204053 iCloud option not available on MacBook Air

    Why is the iCloud option not available on my MacBook Air?  It's not under the System Preferences in the Apple dropdown...only the MobileMe options are still there.

    iCloud won't appear in System Preferences in Snow Leopard. But, you can get some of the features of iCloud working with 10.6.
    Mail AND iCal work just fine. See this article: http://bit.ly/LvVCR2
    I use the iCal info on two of my own Macs and it works fine. The Address Book hack is a maybe. Read through the comments associated with the blog entry. Some folks have gotten the AB hack to work by locking the plist file.

  • App store update continue to show available on Macbook Air when one is not actually available

    My macbook air continues to show an update available in App Store, but when App Store is then opened, one does not show available.  Also, neither my iPad nor iPhone 4S shows an update like this.  Remains through restarts, shutting down, etc.  Any ideas?

    First, the App Stores for OS X (Macs) and iOS (iPhones/iPads) are two completely different things.
    Next, are we talking a system update or an app update?
    Either way, under Updates it should show up with an Install button. No? Then it's probably an app which you've earlier been hiding from the list of purchased items. You can unhide it it your account (follow the Account link e.g. in the right pane under Spotlight).

  • I'm running firefox on a Macbook Air 10.6.8, and the bookmark folders in the bookmarks drop down menu don't open when I mouse over them or click on them. How do I fix this?

    I've run diagnostics on the mac air, reloaded firefox, and tried eerything I could think of. The 'show all bookmarks' page works perfectly- it's just the dropdown menu that has problems. All the folders have numerous items in them except for one- which only has two. That one works- the pop out menu for that folder comes out on the left side. All the arrows for the folders are on the right side (pointing right) of the of the drop down bookmark menu, pointing at the right edge of the computer screen. The dropdown menu appears on the right half of the screen, close to the edge. Strangely, my main computer is an iMac desktop, and my mozilla bookmarks dropdown menu folders open on top of the dropdown menu, not out on the side.

    I figgered it out. The resolution of the screen was set at 600x800, so the bookmarks dropdown menu took up more space than usual. The pop out folder contents didn't have enough room to pop out. With a resolution for a slightly smaller display the drop down bookmarks menu functions perfectly.

  • Firefox 13.0.1 stops responding when removing cookies on my MacBook Air

    Firefox 13.0.1 stops responding and I have to force it to quit when I try to clear cookies on my MacBook Air using
    Tools->Clear Recent History->cookies selected
    Preferences->Privacy->Clear Recent History when Firefox Closes->cookies selected
    In either case, if I do not select cookies I have no problem.
    Preferences->Privacy->Show Cookies->Remove All cookie has no problem.
    I can recover simply by forcing Firefox to quit then restarting Firefox. I then deselect cookies in both cases and Firefox acts normally.
    I do not have this problem on my MacBook Pro. Both the Pro and Air have been rebuilt from erased discs within the last several weeks.
    This is similar to the thread "Firefox Stops Responding After Adobe Flash 11.3.300.262 Installed" (should be .257)" but in this case I do not access a flash site, FlashBlock is installed, and Flash is disabled. The recovery from this problem is very intrusive since I have to delete every file that says "Firefox" and reinstall Firefox.

    Curiouser and curiouser.
    I have tried the new Flash on my MacBook Pro using Firefox 13.0.1 at the same USA Today Crossword site, puzzle 6/25/2012 and I do ''' not''' have this problem.
    The variations I see are
    * I used the same DMG to put Adobe Flash on both machines and they are both at 11.3.300.257, 11.3 r300
    * I used the same DMG to put Firefox 13.0.1 on both machines
    * The MacBook Pro is 15" (late 2011) OS X 10.7.4 build 11E53
    * The MacBook Air is 13" (June 2012) OS X 10.7.4 build 11E2705
    * Both are the latest available OS X levels for their respective platforms.
    * Both platforms have been built from erased discs and Apple recovery discs within the last few weeks. (The Air was rebuilt yesterday, 6/24).
    * The OS X 10.7.4 software is at different build levels and additional software has been installed to support the Air.
    * I have Shockwave Director 11.6.3r633 installed on the MacBook Pro
    My findings:
    * On the MacBook Pro, Firefox at the specified Flash site work as advertised
    * On the MacBook Air, Firefox at the same flash site stops respondings and must be force quit.
    Open questions:
    * Must I have Shockwave Director also installed?
    * Does the OS X software build level have an effect of some sort?
    * Does the model series of the MacBooks - late 2011 and June 2012 - affect the problem. The Air has only been available in the within the last few weeks and I ordered it the day it became available.
    Does the pointing circle become "shift one left" or "shift one right"?

  • Adding another screen for MacBook Air

    I have a late 2008 MacBook Air, and am looking to add an additional screen when working in my home office---drag and drop screen to screen.  Does anyone have suggestions on docking station or way to this?

    BTW:  I am aware on how to do this, when you can plug the mointor directly into the laptop or there is a specific docking station.  I am just looking for the best options available for MacBook Air.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    I have a Macbook air & iPhone 4.
    what do I need to do if I want to buy a book (ebook) or an application that is not available in the iTunes store in my area i.e. Africa (Egypt)?
    Do I need to open a different account in the iTunes store in the other area i.e. USA ?
    Please advice
    Thank you

    You can only buy content from your own country's store i.e. the Egyptian store if you are in Egypt - you need to be in a country to use its store, so to use the US store you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account. If there is an app or any other item that you would like to be buy that isn't currently available in the Egyptian store then you can try requesting that it be added, but unless the app's developer or rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

    I have a MacBook Air 2011, running Lion 10.7.2, and Safari won't load any pages. Firefox loads everything just fine. What's going on?

    d Pacifist to reinstall both the Safari
    application and the WebKit framework
    was that before the 10.4.6 combo was applied?
    Nope, I tried the Pacifist route after applying the combo update.
    It does sound as if webkit is busted at the moment.
    What version of osx is on your install disks?
    Not sure, I'll have to check them.
    I'd like to avoid a archive & install, but I'm beginning to think it's my only remaining option.
