Message when I try to install Firefox 3.6

Hi,
I always use Safari however I need to do some on-line training using Firefox. My current version is 3.0 so I went to update Firefox to 3.6 and got this message.
"*Downloading / Users/ karenh /Downloads / nkioGqsz.dmg.part*
/ Users / karenh / Downloads /nkioG.dmg.part could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.
Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location."
I haven't directed the upgrade to be saved anywhere so there maybe some default issue. I'm not sure where to start. Any ideas?

HI,
In Firefox, go to Firefox/Preferences then select the Update tab.
Check: Firefox next to: Automatically check for updates to:
Relaunch Firefox and see if it will update automatically.

Have a look at the solution to a similar problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/921375?s=%22Your+computer+must+be+restarted+to+complete+a+previous+upgrade+of+Firefox.+Do+you+want+to+reboot+now%3F%22&r=0&e=sph&as=s
If that doesn't work, you can uninstall FF and do a clean install. You'll prob lose your bookmarks, history, etc, though, so if you do this set up Sync first! https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync-and-how-do-i-use-it

HT5225 "This disc does not use the GUID Partition Table Scheme...". I keep getting this message when I try to install OSXLion. It has something to do with a repair Apple performed last year. I use a 17" MacBookPro. Any suggestions?

"This disc does not use the GUID Partition Table Scheme. Use Disc Utility to change the partition scheme". I keep getting this message when I try to install OSX Lion so that I can upgrade my 17" MacBookPro to move to iCloud. My harddrive was replaced last year by Apple because of a fault by the manufacturer and I think this is the cause of the problem. What can I do so that I don't lose my content.

When you click the partion tab. There is option on the bottom of the window. Click on that there there are these options.

When you click the download link on [http://getfirefox.com GetFirefox.com], you should be asked if you wish to Run or Save the file. If the described situation happens when trying to Run the download, try instead to Save it and put the file on your Desktop or a similar place where you are certain that you can find it again.
When the download is complete, try double-clicking the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from My Computer). This should start the installation.
If you notice in the Explorer window that the file seems to be lacking the Firefox orange/blue icon, rightclick the file and select Properties. The picture should look somewhat like the attached picture (except that mine's in danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it does NOT look like this, please describe the contents or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File type" - it should be "Program"; if it's not, we'll have to look into what the problem could be here.
Slightly off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit out of date (IE 6, where current version is IE 8), so I would strongly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system updated. If this is a company system (like a Terminal Server thin client machine), this may not be possible, and your system administrator will most likely have to help you.

Please try this: Copy the files formhistory.sqlite (or formhistory) and places.sqlite (or places) if they exist and delete the entire Mozilla folder in %APPDATA% and also the Firefox folder in Program Files. [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information Please see this.]

When I try to install Firefox on my brand new desktop (which uses Windows 7) it tells me the file is corrupt. What is up with that?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

When I try to install Firefox, windows asks me if I want to allow this program to make changes to my computer and then nothing happens whether I say yes or no?

Question is asked by "user account control"

Even if you are logged on with an Administrator account then you should still not run Firefox with Administrator permissions.<br />
I would assume that is already installed, but if this is happening when you try to install Firefox then you need to right-click the Firefox installer and choose Run as Administrator to make sure to get the proper permissions to install the Firefox program and create the required registry keys.<br />
Then you need to confirm that you want to install the program.<br />
If Windows blocks the file because it is downloaded from internet then open the Properties via the right-click context menu and check the Security tab.

How do I resolve the "Mozilla cannot find runtime" error message when I try to start Firefox?

Mozilla Firefox updated to version 36.0. When I click on the Firefox icon to open it I receive the message: "Mozilla cannot find runtime" I receive the same message if I try to open Firefox by selecting "firefox.exe" from within the Program Files. I subsequently uninstall Mozilla Firefox and reinstall it. It will open and run normally right after the re-installation. Then if I close the program and try to re-open it again, I get the same "Mozilla cannot find runtime" error message.
The only way I can get Firefox to open is if I uninstall and re-install it every time I want to open it after the initial re-installation.

<blockquote>
Hi Adriel,
The "Mozilla cannot find runtime" problem has returned. It occurs in two situations:
1. When Firefox tries to download updates using "updater.exe" (version 36.0.0.5531), which causes my "Norton Internet Security" program to notify me with the message: "Auto-Protect has removed security risk Suspicious.Cloud.9.B" This message is shown every time "updater.exe" activates.
</blockquote>
I also have experienced this during several upgrades, not just the latest. (I am using Windows XP and Norton Security Suite.) Norton identifies c:\program files\mozilla firefox\updated\xul.dll with the Suspicious.Cloud.9.B virus and removes the file. I can set the Norton installation to accept xul.dll but it would make more sense for a Mozilla expert to contact Norton and work out a permanent solution, for all who are facing this problem.

I get an error message when I try to open Firefox, telling me I cannot have multiple copies open.

I'm using a G5 Power Mac. I have several internal hard drives. I also have two copies of Firefox. I have started up using a different drive and now when I try to open Firefox, I get the message that I cannot have multiple copies of the program open at the same time, but there not...

The user-agent detection was incorrectly identifying FF4 as a mobile browser, in turn redirecting to a mobile version. Install the following addon to workaround this problem until it's fixed: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/xhtml-mobile-profile/

Error message when I try and install Evernote Clipper Add-On

When I try to install Evernote Clipper Add-On I get an error message. "Firefox cannot modify Add-On" Any advice out there?

This can happen if you try to install an extension that needs to be unpacked to be able to work properly.
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then check for problems with the prefs.
You can delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Note that Windows hides some file extensions by default.
Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
