Opening Firefox Setup 3.6.12.exe

Every time I open Firefox a window pops up saying"You have chosen to open Firefox Setup 3.6.12.exe which is a: Binary File from: http://daimajin.mirror.aarnet.edu.au Would you like to save this file? - is there a way I can prevent this pop up window from appearing? - I have installed Firefox previously on my computer and have never had this problem before.

Do you see that file in Tools > Downloads?

  • Every time I open Firefox 4 I get a popup box saying: "OPENING FIREFOX SETUP 4.0.1.exe, Binary File from..." with different download link addresses

    Every time I open Firefox 4 a popup box keeps trying to get me to run setup again. The box always reads: "Opening Firefox Setup 4.0.1.exe, Binary File from...." followed by a link address, which is different every time. Recent addresses: http://mirror.umoss.org.......also http://mozilla.mirrors.tds.net....also http://mozilla.ussg.indiana.edu
    and so on.
    Help! Thanks!

    I am having the same problem and it seems to have just started (6/15/11). I have tried reloading the program several times and even the first release of the 4.o with no success. The same scenario also occurs when I click to open a new "tab" after the browser is already launched.

  • Keeps opening Firefox Setup 3.6.8.exe even though it's installed, what do I do to prevent this?

    When I'm using the internet the firefox setup 3.6.8.exe keeps popping up asking me if I want to save the file. I tried installing it and it just installed Firefox again, afterwards when I opened up firefox it asked me if I wanted to save the file or not again.

    You're welcome

  • I have installed version 6.0.2. Everytime I start Firefox, a popup opens up titled 'opening firefox setup 6.0.2.exe' and offers to save the file. How do I stop this from popping up since I already have the version offered?

    The update was attempted automatically, I think. When it would not complete it said download and run the update manually. I did that. Every time I start Firefox the Firefox Setup 6.0.2.exe file is offered up to save.

    * see [[firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]
    Probably you have accidentally added the new page as an addition to your home pages, or Firefox is having problems with your settings; it may help to close down with the <br/> '''Firefox button -> []Exit'''; rather than just quitting the application.

  • I have "chosen to open Firefox Setup 5.0.1.exe" and saved the file but nothing happens, my version has not updated, I don't know what the next step should be and I'd be grateful for help with this issue.

    I've tried to do this several times on several days, on an HP a1620n running Windows XP Media Edition, Version 5.1. Nothing happens after I get the Download Complete message. Thanks.

    Thank you! My solution was slightly different, but in the end, seeing what was going on in the Help menu in the browser did the trick. Turned out I had been stuck for who knows how long "downloading" a version 3! Also had a toolbar to disable but not the Ask.

  • I have a message upon installation that says the publisher of Firefox setup 6.0.2.exe couldn't be verified?

    "At the end of the install cycle I have a message that says the publisher of Firefox Setup 6.0.2.exe couldn't be verified. Are you sure you want to run the program?"
    Should I continue or is there a problem? Thanks.

    Try:

    It is also possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

  • Firefox setup 9.0.1 exe won't extract (cannot open output file)

    I downloaded firefox 9.0.1 and it won't extract and install on a win7 computer. It says cannot open output file. I had previous versions of firefox for 10 years. I tried disabling AV and firewall also. Please help. Nate

  • I download Firefox then get this message: Firefox allow the "firefox Setup 19.0.2.exe couldn't be downloaded

    I'm running Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and Internet Explorer 9. Firefox downloads then stops with the message above. How can I resolve this. I really want to use Firefox

    Tyler: It wasn't just Firefox but also other .exe files that I couldn't download in IE9. Not sure what happened, I used to be able to do this but some update must have killed this. I've had some weird problems for the past 3 days.
    I just bypassed IE9 by using Google Chrome that I had installed. This ran the Firefox download and install with no problems. So I'm set.
    I don't know what happened to my IE9 but I think I'll stick with Firefox for now.
    Thank you

  • Where is firefox setup 7.0.1.exe saved. Cannot find it after downloading it.

    Trying to download Firefox 7.0.1.exe for my IronKey. I click save but it does not allow me to type where to save it and I cannot find it once it is saved.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • C:\Users\Linda\Desktop\Firefox Setup 5.0(1).exe could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

    This is the error message I receive when attempting to download/install Firefox 5

    That was a great idea, and I thought it might work, but it didn't. I turned off the Windows Firewall and tried downloading/installing and it seemed to work as it had me restart computer but my Secunia PSI still said it errored. Any other suggestions?
    The strange thing is I have Firefox 5 web page and it seems to work as 4 did. I also checked the control panel and Firefox 5 was listed and not 4.
    Thanks for your help
