The saved Firefox extracts when double clicked but does nothing else, nor can I locate the extracted files

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and saved it. When I double-click on the saved file it says it is extracting the files which it appears to do, however even though I clicked run nothing else happens and I can't locate the extracted files to find the extracted executable file. ....Thanks for your help!

For Flash, could you try downloading the "full" installers from this page:
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
In the first table, there are two rows for Windows: one for the ActiveX control for IE, and one for the plugin for Firefox. You might want to grab both. And try the .msi files instead of the .exe files to see whether those work better.
Will either of those install?
It's odd that on a newly rebuilt system your More System Details shows that you have a user.js file, which is an optional settings files used to override your previous session settings. This is not part of the standard Firefox installation, so if you did not create that file yourself, you may want to investigate or delete it. This article has more information on that: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].

  • I changed from IE to Firefox. When I click on a shortcut in an email, I get the message "an error occurred in sending the command to the application" in Outlook. It doesn't stop Firefox opening and going to the site, but is annoying.

  • I'm trying to load photoshop elements 12 on my mac os x and when i click setup.exe i get :    You can't open the application "Setup.exe" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.

    i'm trying to load photoshop elements 12 on my mac os x and when i click setup.exe i get : You can’t open the application “Setup.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.  The premiere elements 12 out of the same box loaded just fine.

    An .exe file means you have the windows version. Go get the mac version:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 12, 11, 10
    but I hope you have a mac serial number.

  • When I click on IDVD nothing happens.  It is like the application is gone.

    When I click on iDVD nothing happens.  It is like the application is gone.

    Hi
    Was it ever there ?
    iMovie suggest's it (as Share to iDVD) - but on Newer Macs - Apple decided it to not deliver iDVD any way.
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • I migrated all data from old PC to new and iTunes successfully transferred to new PC. When I click on a song it says it cannot locate the original. How does one map iTunes file to iMusic to enable play from original files ?

  • In the prior Firefox version when I opened a new tab there would be thumbnails on the blank page below tabs of web sites that I frequented- now the screen is just blank- is there a way to see the thumbnails below again?

    In the prior version of Firefox before I was encouraged to download the newest version... when I would open a new tab: on the blank page below would appear thumbnail versions of web sites I had frequented which was awesome to return to sites without even going to bookmarks. Now when I open a new tab it is just a blank white screen beneath. Is there something I can do to make thumbnails appear again on the screen below when I open a new tab?

    You can change this in Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
    ''(i) Page thumbnails (default)''
    about:newtab
    ''(ii) Blank tab''
    about:blank
    ''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page''
    about:home
    ''(iv) Any other page''
    full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

  • I have a Macbook buyed in New York, Central Park store in january/2009. The screen in start show double screen and then nothing, black screen. I checked the system and is OK, the diagnostic is the screen. Have apple a spare screen???

    I have a Macbook buyed in january/2009 in New York in Apple Central Park Store.
    When I start the computer appears a double scren, then a few of background and then black screen, ilumitated but black screen.
    Perhaps that is a screen fail. Could you please tell me if Apple have spare screen? Can I get a screen, perhaps with some program to assit to customer from Apple?
    Thank you
    Ivan Betancourt

    Ivan,
    This may not be a failure of the screen.
    Try a SMC reset, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Please post back if this does not help. Are you located close to an Apple Store?

  • I can't download firefox. When I click on run, I get a window saying that the author is unknown. When I click on run in the new window, another window says the file is corrupt. What can I do about this?

    I want to have firefox as my default browser. As this is a new laptop, I hasve to download firefox. As per the instructions, I click on "run" to complete the download, but instead of completing the download, a window appears which says that the author is unknown. If I ignore the window and click on run, I get another window which says the file is corrupt and I can't finish the download and have firefox as my browser.
    I have windows 7 and explorer is the default browser and I want to change to firefox, but so far am being prevented from doing so. How can I successfully download firefox?

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

  • I am getting a message "iPad Not Backed Up" but when I click on "ok", nothing happens.  Can't turn it off either because of the lock.

    I am getting a message "iPad Not Backed Up".  When I click on "ok" on the message, nothing happens - it is locked.  Thought turning off the iPad would help but because it is locked, it won't let me slide to power off.

    Have you tried plugging the iPad into power and letting it backup over Wi-Fi?
    You should be able to reset your iPad.

  • Double click song does nothing

    Hello,
    I'm having problems with song playback.
    When I double click or press enter on a song, it does not start from the beginning, it pauses briefly then continues to play.
    Also, songs resume from their last position and not from the beginning. For example, if I listen to 30 seconds of track 5 then switch to track 4, after track 4 ends playback resumes at 30 seconds into track 5 and not from the beginning.
    Thanks for any information anyone can provide. I can give more details if needed.

    Right-click the song(s) that are doing that. Choose Get Info, go to the Options tab, and uncheck "Remember playback position."

  • Since the last firefox update I cannot use Adobe pdf doc viewer nor can I copy and paste in my browser. I am not happy about this

    Since the last firefox upgrade my copy/paste and adobe doc viewer functionality is gone.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == last upgrade

    That is a bug in Firefox.
    You can set the Boolean pref <b>dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page or alternatively hold down Ctrl+C keys until the translate selection disappears that text in the left input text area start flashing.

  • Help!  My computer turns on, but does nothing else!!!!

    When I turn my computer on, the screen lights up and a folder with a question mark appears. Nothing else happens and after a while it shuts down. My computer is totally charged and I've tried taking out the battery, turning it on and off, restarting, etc. Nothing works! Does any one know what the icon means/how to fix it?
    Thanks

    This is the issue your are experiencing:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58042
    Try this:
    1) hold down c key with disc one in the drive
    2)select language
    3)Click on utilites in top menu bar > select disk utility
    If you see your hard drive in there, it will most likely say "xx GB FUJITSU ...", then go back to the OS X installer by quitting disc utility and follow the rest of these instructions. If you don't see a hard drive then most likely your drive has failed, take it to your nearest apple store. Make an appointment with the genius bar before your arrive!!!!! http://www.apple.com/retail.
    4) Select Archive and Install when you get the screen that has a box named "options". Selecting this will save your user's data, you may need to reinstall third party applications after this ( ie. office, photoshop, etc. )
    Hope this helps.
