Trying to download Firefox and as soon as the "run" box appears Explorer shuts down.

Using Explorer, I'm trying to download Firefox. As soon as the run dialog box opens, Explorer shuts down. What do I need to do to download Firefox.

Does that happen with anything you try to download in IE, not just when downloading Firefox?

  • I tried to download FireFox and when I hit the second run to start it an error message appeared stating the file could not be extracted why?

    I did the download for FireFox and when the download was complete a screen appeared asking me to run the program. I clicked on run but at 14% it said file could not be extracted error message. I don't understand why this happened and what do I do now?
    thank you
    Linda

    Don't try to run the program directly when downloading with IE, but save the Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double click on the desktop icon.

  • I tried to download firefox and I keep getting the error message "I E 8" cannot open this page-site cannot be found or unavailable. Can you offer some suggestions.

    The Download banner comes up and appears to be laoding, but it later fails-out/errors out with the above message..."site not available, page can't be opened. Any thoughts on how to fix?

    Hi!
    It sounds like you're having trouble with Firefox for Desktop. I'd recommend contacting the Firefox for Desktop support forum here: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/desktop https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/desktop]; they'll be more knowledgeable and better able to answer your questions than the volunteers here at the Firefox OS forum.
    I hope that helps you!

    Download them to iTunes abd then sync the apps. Make an appointment with Apple and see what the problem is.

  • Trying to download itunes and keep getting message 'the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation' and therefore cant download - any ideas

    trying to download itunes and keep getting message 'the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation' and therefore cant download - any ideas

    Let's try something relatively simple. Download and save a copy of the installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet):
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
    Does that go through any better for you?

  • I tried to download Firefox and my antivirus stopped it and kept it from loading. WHY?

    I tried downloading a newer version of Firefox and my antivirus stopped the download saying it found viruses. How can an upgrade on the Mozilla website contain viruses? Why can't I download it?
    Thanks.

    Your anti-virus software might have a problem with the small stub installer.
    Try this instead:
    *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

  • Trying to download firefox and it comes up as Extraction Failed. File Corrupt.

    Ive been trying to download firefox for two days now. When its done getting the setup file i open it and it Says the file is corrupt. Ive tried numerous things. Norton says less then 5 people have this version. Is it my computer or the site?

    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 and installing work.

  • I am trying to download Firefox and it gets to about 95% done and then it stops.

    I tried updating Firefox but it kept getting to around 95% done and then it just stopped. After about 10 minutes it would say that it could not download and to try from the site. I tried uninstalling Firefox to do a clean install like someone said online and I am still having the problem. I have tried using 2 different browsers to download it and it still gets almost there and then just stays there. Any help would be amazing

    Are you downloading the "full" installer from this page: [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/]? If you are getting the "stub" installer, or choosing "Run" instead of save, try saving the full installer to the desktop and running it from there.
    Also, if you haven't shut down and restarted Windows since this problem began, please try that in case there are some Windows Installer issues like an accumulation of queued updates or crashed component.

  • I have tried to download Firefox, and my screen shows Firefox setup 3.6 at the bottom. How do I get Firefox? I can never get beyond the set up and information screen.

    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'm trying to update firefox and my computer says the file is not recognized..? HELP!

    I'm upgrading my super old firefox to the 8.0.1 version and I've tried installing it twice but when I open the downloaded file my computer gives me a warning:
    The following disk images failed to mount:
    Image:
    Firefox 8.0.1.dmg
    Reason:
    not recognized
    Please help?

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    *Firefox 9.0.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 Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
