Tried to download Firefox setup 6.01 exe_ and my computer wouldn't allow said it was corrupt. what to do?
What can I do to update the latest version? How do I know if the updates are really from you? Thanks.
Use Help > About Firefox and hit the '''Check for Updates''' button ''(if it doesn't start the "check" as soon as that window opens)''. That feature will only contact the Mozilla update server and then deliver the update from an official mirror website. It is all done through secure connections, no chance of the update coming from an non-official mirror.

I just purchased and Asus laptop, using Windows 8. I tried to download Firefox, and was warned (by Titanium) of all types of viruses, etc. etc.. I therefore deleted everything . What is this all about? I have been using Firefox on this computer for some time now and have not encountered any problems.
This may be a false positive.
Did you check the support forum for your software to see if this has been reported by others? -
I am trying to download the newest version of itunes and my computer says that it cannot find bonjour file? it will also not let me remove the existing bonjour or itunes program? any help?
Try the following user tip:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates -
Please see question
Go to a suitable download page eg: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html]
Download firefox, use the save option rather than install.
Save it directly to the flash drive, or to somewhere on your computer and copy/move it the flash drive.
However if IE is not working possibly you have some sort of setup problem so firefox may not work either. -
I have tried downloading Firefox multiple times. I have windows 8. When I click on Start download and box at the bottom comes up and asks if I want to run, save, or cancel. I click run. The next box that comes up is a time bar like pop up that says 0% extracting...it never goes any further. That box stays on the screen for a couple of seconds then nothing. There are no more pops, Firefox is no where to be found on the computer. Any ideas on a step I need to take to get it to download completely?
Try this:
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
*Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon -

every time i try to download firfox as a browser it tells me the file is corrupt.
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.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

I downloaded Firefox 3.6. It asks me if I want tot save it. I enter save. Then it goes to the introduction to the features of Firefox. How do I go beyond that. Also, if I leave the site, ie-get off the internet, then get back on later, the website again asks me if I want to download and save Firefox 3.6.
After you download '''Firefox Setup 3.6.3.exe''', you must double click on this file. Usually, you can find this either on your desktop or in your Downloads folder.
Your Downloads folder is located inside Documents. -

I tried to download Firefox for Vista. It gets to the run screen, I hit run, it seems to download but then the window dissappears and I still don't have Firefox installed. I have tried this several times.
Don't use '''Run''', save the Firefox setup file and do the installation separately from the download.

When trying to download firefox 3.6.12.dmg to my Mac, OS 10.4, no matter what site I download it from, it will not install. There is always some error message. I'm trying to download it again now, and I know it will be the same thing again and again. Can anyone open a window for me, since the door is constantly being slamed in my face?
ThanksSame proble here, although the Firefox system requirements says it is OK to have PowerPC G3 G4 or G5 ( I have G5 2GHZ)
My solution; very simply use timemachine to restore the previous Frefox 3.x
worked great in 3 mns -

I tried to download Firefox 4.0 on my Mac Intel running OS 10.6.6. I get a message that it can not download because libsmime3.dylib is open. And now FirFox 3.6 has disappeared. What do i do?
FireFox can't open lots of files it isn't suposed to. DMG is opened by the Mac osx as a virtual volume file you just drag the FireFox icon to where you want it installed. Check your desktop for a FireFox volume... like a drive. Double click the DMG file if it is not there. This is how Mac works it has nothing to do with FireFox, many apps install this way!
