Trying to download current Firefox 9 and states that the "file is corrupt".

Goes through the motions of a download. When I click to run, error message states that the file is corrupt. I have tried to download through Chrome and IE...

It is 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.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • Not really a problem just would like to know if I install firefox 4 beta...will I lose my bookmarks already in my current firefox browers and is that the same for the farmville game bar from facebook

    It should not be a problem, as long as you are careful. Note the delete settings option when uninstalling firefox will delete bookmarks etc for ALL installed versions of firefox.
    Firefox attempts to retain the profile information, that include bookmarks etc when updating. It may still be prudent to consider other backup methods not entirely dependent on firefox.
    The firefox 4 beta will install by default in a slightly different location, you are then able to run either the current or the beta version of firefox. It is recommended you set up a new profile for the new version of firefox. see

  • Why after downloading a pdf am I getting that the file is corrupt and can not open?

    why after downloading a pdf am I getting that the file is corrupt and can not open?

    Probably the file got corrupted during the download?  Download it again.
    If that does not correct the problem, can you share that file download?

  • When I try to setup the updated Firefox download, I get a message that the file is corrupt. What should I do?

    The download for firefox setup 6.0.2 exe was successful, but when I tried to open it, I received a message that the file is corrupt.

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions to update then easiest is to trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • I keep trying to upgrade my version of Firefox but everytime I download the upgrade I get a message stating that the file is corrupted. Firefox keeps telling me I need to upgrade but I can't seem to make it happen. Can someone help me?

    For several months I have been trying to upgrade my Firefox version, which is no longer supported by several software platforms I need as a songwriter, such as Flashplayer, etc. After I download the upgrade all I get is a message that the file is corrupted. I am not very tech-savvy so I need to talk with someone who can explain what to do in layman's terms.

    Which version of Mac OSX do you have?

  • I tried to download this application and the computer says that it cannot verify the author and that the file is corrupt. Any suggestions?

    I downloaded this from the website,http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/, for an application for Stark State college for an employment application because appearently that is the preferred web-browser for them, the download could not be completed because the author could not be verified and it said that the file is corrupted. Any suggestions? I have dial-up, yes ancient but only thing available here,so any suggestions?

    You have an incorrect address. You could refer back to the college but I am sure you need to start with https: and make sure you drop that comma on the end.

  • I paid for and tried to download the song "Cryin" by Aerosmith but it won't let me download the song each time I go to the store and click on available downloads, it looks like it's downloading and I get an error message that the file is corrupt

    I paid for and tried to download a song from itunes but the song won't dowload! When I got to store and click on available downloads it looks like it's downloading but I keep getting a message that the file is corrupt.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • I have been trying to download Firefix 4, and eveytime I try to install it on my computer I get the message that the file is corrupt

    I am using an iBook running OS 10.3.9 - and each time I have tried to launch the download so I can install it on my hard drive I get the message that the file is corrupt and so it won't complete the operation.

    It sounds like you must have Automatic Downloads enabled on the Phone in Settings>iTunes & App Store>Automatic Downloads>Apps>On. That is why the apps are being downloaded to the phone, I would have to assume. You could try turning that off on your phone for starters. Although I don't think that would have any effect on the iPad, it won't hurt anything either.
    Try this and see if the apps show up on the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I have installed Firefox 4 twice, and each time I get a message that the file is corrupt and can't be opened.

    I ordered a download of PagePlus X5 from Serif in the UK. The program is 706 MB. Several times, only 300+ MBs downloaded. The program had .exe but the partial download had .msi. The message that came up was "Setup was unable to find the msi package or patch . . ." Serif suggested I install Firefox as a web browser to see if the program would download. That is what I tried to do, and that is when I got the message that the file was corrupt. Serif is sending me a disk. Is there a disk for Firefox?

    How large is your iPhone's storage? 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB? You can go to Settings > General > Usage, and that will tell you how much storage you have used and how much you have left. If the storage is truly almost full, then you would need to either delete files from your iPhone, or sync less files from iTunes to your iPhone.
    Hope this helps!

  • I bought a song, and it says the file is corrupted and will not download what should i do?

    I bought a song, and it says the file is corrupted and will not download what should i do?

    If you see the "Purchased" option on the main screen of the iTunes Store, here's what I'd do:
    1) Go into your library and delete the file if it downloaded. If not, go to your downloads and delete it from there to stop it from download.
    2) Go to the Purchased pane in the main iTunes Store section, locate the item, and try the download again.
    Also, you may wish to turn off any anti-virus or anti-malware programs before you try this again, as that sometimes is what can be blocking the download. Otherwise, contact iTunes Store Support:

  • Adobe reader (11.3.2) PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!

    i have the latest Adobe reader from the app store (11.3.2) however i am struggling to open PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!
    any help or suggestions welcome

    Would you describe how you transferred the PDF file to your iPad and iPhone?  Did you send it as an email attachment and open it on your iPad and iPhone?
    The file may have been corrupted by Apple Mail, which is a known problem.  Please see Problem #1 in the FAQ document How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems.
    Would you try some experiments so that we can troubleshoot the problem?  During the experiments, please use cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) and avoid sending the PDF file as an email attachment.
    Rename the corrupted/damaged PDF file on your iPad.  For example, add "_damaged.pdf" to the file name.
    Upload the corrupted/damaged PDF file to the cloud storage of your choice.
    Download the corrupted/damaged PDF file from the cloud storage to your Windows or Mac desktop computer.
    Open it in the desktop version of Adobe Reader XI for Windows or Mac.
    Does Adobe Reader XI on your desktop computer display an error message?
    Upload the (good) PDF file on your iPhone to the cloud storage.
    Download the (good) PDF file from the cloud storage to your iPad.
    Open it in Adobe Reader on your iPad.
    Does Adobe Reader on your iPad display an error message?
    We can investigate further based on what you will find.
    Thank you for your help.

  • I'm trying to download Mozilla Firefox, but everytime I try, the download is interrupted by a prompt stating the file is corrupted and it stops the download. Help!

    I'm currently using Internet Explorer and it is SO slow. I went to this site and tried to download Mozilla Firefox. It begins to download and then is interrupted by a window that pops up and says the file is corrupted and it shuts down the entire download. This has happened about five times. Please help!

    The Mozilla site. It's the correct site, I'm sure of it. I'm becoming EXTREMELY irritated with Internet Explorer and haven't even been able to really use the internet on my own laptop because of how many problems I have with IE. I've tried NUMEROUS times a day to download Mozilla Firefox and the SAME thing keeps happening. It'll get to about 3% loaded and say it's an Unknown Publisher and I tell it to run anyway and then immediately after that, it says "Extraction Failed: File Corrupt" and the download stops. PLEASE HELP. PLEASE.
