Trying to download firefox for my mac
When it gets to dragging the firefox icon into the applications folder, the icon has a white circle with a diaganol line through it, like a 'no entry' sign. If i drag it in anyway it downloads to the folder but when i try to open it it doesn't work - the error I get is that it is not supported on the system... I have quite an old Mac, think its called a G4, it runs Opera and Safari, but I want Firefox!!
I've had this happen before, if I remember correctly it's just because of a corrupt download. Try downloading the .dmg files again and they should work. The other problem is it may be a permissions error. Where are the files located that you're trying to mount? Try putting them in your home directory. My first guess would be a corrupt download though.
I was suprised to find no information in the support database, or on google for this erorr with disk images.
Hope this helps.

I want to ask how I download Firefox for a Mac
I have just bought an Apple Mac Workbook and I don't want to use Safari. I want to use Firefox. Is there a specific website where I can go to download Firefox for a Mac?
You can find the latest Firefox release (currently 6.0.2) for all platforms here:
*Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html -
I'm trying to download firefox for my laptop...but when I start to download when it says who the file is coming from it does not say Mozilla or Firefox or anything familiar so I want to make sure I am on the right page and downloading the right thing so I don't invite a virus onto the laptop
If apps are popping up that need an update and it is the "friend's" Apple ID, those are apps that he downloaded to your iPad.
Anyway...Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID>Tap the ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID. -
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.

Capetowncrooner I would recommend utilizing a different web browser or beginning the installation process within the Creative Cloud Desktop application. You can find more details at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

I have tried changing the permissions for my hard drive/Account and all files below it but this prevented my Mac from starting; hence, I keep reinstalling the OSX (this is why I am currently on 10.6.4 instead of 10.6.6).
Additionally, even though I keep uninstalling Firefox (throw away the icon and get rid of "org....plist" (except in one user account in which I am not allowed to trash)) the icon always appears in my Dock when I startup (it is a icon with a slashed circle on top of it).Try doing a clean install.
# Download the Firefox installer from http://www.mozilla.com
# Trash the current Firefox application
# Now try installing the new version of Firefox ([[Installing Firefox on Mac]])
Doing the above will not remove your user data, that is stored elsewhere in the [[profiles|profile folder]], though if you wish you can back that up first
If you are still having problems with privileges see [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963?viewlocale=en_US troubleshooting permissions issues in Mac OS X] -

I tried downloading Firefox onto my desktop, a Mac OS10, version 6.8. The download command on your site isn't working, neither is the alternate choice mentioned in the text of your message.
I deleted your site and application recently, since it got hung up while trying to update to a new Firefox version, as you recommended. Today, I was just trying to start over.

i tried to download twice but get the same message. the first time, percentage of dowload was less then 2%. the second time, download had progressed to about 30% before i get this message. i'm using xperia arc with latest software update.
Google controls the download servers for all Android packages. Only suggestion we can make is to try downloading on a reliable WiFi connection.

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"

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!
