Unable to download firefox web browser....stops at 1MB

using google chrome or win exporer 8 whilst trying to download mozilla firefox it stops at 1MB and when I say run the message is file corrupt.

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

Downloaded firefox web browser but it doesn't show up as a shortcut on the desktop or in my start up menu and those items were checked when i downloaded

i think my question says it all...i downloaded firefox 5.0.1 and it went thru the process. It asked if i wanted a desktop shortcut and have it in the startup menu and i had those boxes checked. But when everything was done it isn't anywhere. I just bought a new Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E420 with windows 7.

Sorry to hear things went pear-shaped during the installation.
To create a desktop shortcut, please do the following. 
#Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. 
#Right click the file called '''firefox.exe''' and choose "'''Send To'''", then "'''Desktop (create shortcut)'''".

Why am I unable to download Safari web browser to mountain lion?

I have mountain lion on my mac. I deleted Safari from it. Now I cannot download Safari from the internet to Safari. Is there a way I can get Safari back onto mountain lion?

Safari isn't available as a download from the Apple website anymore, so you have to reinstall OS X in order to get Safari back. Hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and reinstall OS X

When I start mozilla firefox web browser, sometimes I see a message saying that "a Mozilla Firefox is already running, please close it or restart your program", while I don't have one running at that time. What is the problem?

When I start mozilla firefox web browser, sometimes I see a message saying that "a Mozilla Firefox is already running, please close it or restart your system". As a matter of fact, there is no firefox browser running at that time. Since I cannot do anything about it, I have to restart my computer before I can use the web browser, which bothers me dearly. What is the problem?

Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting to close Firefox. The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window, it does not necessarily close Firefox .
'''The only proper way to exit Firefox is to use Exit through the File menu''', not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
''Menus hidden: then use Alt+F then X.''

Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "Processes"
tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
"'''Restartless Restart'''" extension for Firefox 4.0 only (2 KB download )
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/249342/
use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching
to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry
about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
Uses keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.
'''Windows 7''' users can use '''Ctrl+Shift+Esc''' to get to the Windows Task Manager quicker than starting with Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Cannot open .jnlp file when asked to open with firefox web browser in ubuntu 11.10 using firefox 6

After upgrading to ubuntu 11.10 the firefox 6 browser cannot download and open .jnlp file from the interactivebrokers website. Usually I go to the IB website and download tws.jnlp file which is opened in the firefox web browser. But now when I click on the Open with Firefox Browser button, the firefox browser opens a new tab and display the same open window again.

Seems that after upgrading to 11.10, jnlp files open with firefox instead of javaws (Java Web Start).
If you right click the file on the download folder and choose "open with" you can manually select java web start.
Ubuntu bug...
You can right click any .jnlp file and select "properties", go to "Open With" tab, mark Sun Java 6 Web Start and click "Set as Default". Should fix it. I don't know what would happen if you have the default ubuntu java instead of Sun's. Maybe this wouldn't be necessary.

Firefox opens all adobe files with firefox web browser. I disabled add-on, but it still does it. How can i disable this feature?

All adobe files now automatically open in firefox web browser, even when opening them from widows explorer. I want all adobe files to be opened in adobe reader as a default. Yet I disable the plugin Adobe Acrobat 11.0.9.29 and it still does this. I can't use firefox this way.

When you open a PDF file that you saved to your computer, by double-clicking the file, does it open with Adobe Reader or with Firefox?
If the PDF file opens with Adobe Reader then follow the instructions in [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]] to set Adobe Reader as the application for Portable Document Format (PDF) in your Firefox Options for Applications.
If the PDF file opens in Firefox when you open it from your hard drive, even though you have Firefox 33 installed, try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox:
#Download the latest Firefox version (currently 33.1.1) from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] and save the setup file to your computer.
#*Note: You can use [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/?scene=2#download-fx this link] for the online (stub) installer or choose the full installer for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page].
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the Exit button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#[[Uninstall Firefox from your computer|Uninstall Firefox from your computer]].
#Reinstall Firefox using the setup file you downloaded before.
WARNING: Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data.

I have an audio problem when ever I use my Firefox web browser that makes a sharp audible sound simiular to a video game gun shot sound effect when ever I go into a new web page?

I have an audio problem that when ever I use my Firefox web browser it makes a sharp audible sound similar to a video game gun shot sound effect when ever I go into a new web page? I change to a new site or page a page on a site, I get an audible gunshot ping trpe sound? It happens almost every time. Its very annoying and is driving me nuts???
Any body out there had this happen also or know how to diagnose and fix this type of problem? I would hate to have to delete my whole Firefox program and have to start over again. If that is the case I will probably just scrap it and go on to try Google Chrome instead. I already have GC partially set up. I really have liked Firefox up to this point. I know add ons can cause problems at times but I haven't added anything new lately and this just started happening?

"Use Firefox Web Browser (default)" instead of trying to render a page starts FF again

Expected behaviour: Firefox actually trying to open a document.
What happens: Firefox, ''as the default option'', re-feeds a document to itself in a roundabout way that leads only to repeating the same choice. If "Do this automatically..." box is checked, this causes ''spamming tabs or windows recursively''. Which certainly constitues a bug.
Happens e.g. when trying to open HTML pages that have ".asp" extension due to being saved with original server filenames. Which also is the easiest way to reproduce this bug. Same files renamed or ''hard''linked as "*.asp.html" open normally, thus it happens only due to "Open with: Use Firefox Web Browser (default)" choice not working correctly. I didn't find addons to circumvent this, either.
Version: 26.0 (Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0) - but a web search shows that the same happened 10 years ago and under Windows.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

I want to get a phone number to directly call Mozilla Firefox and I also want to enable the Norton Search in my Mozilla Firefox web browser like it's enabled in

I want to enable the Norton Search in my Mozilla Firefox Web Browser just like it is enabled in my default Internet Browser of Google Chrome right now today!!!!

Hello,
We do not have a phone # for technical support unfortunately. There are issues with Norton Toolbar causing Firefox to crash; This has been fixed in the 2013 version of Norton but not in 2012 yet. If you have 2013, it would be easier to contact Norton as they have a better understanding of how to guide you.

Sorry Chris but I don't even get that far - after download latest Firefox - I cannot get the installation to work. I get dialogue box with "0% extraction" then nothing also cannot get Opera to install. The installation stalls at the same point of extracting the download. The only browser to work is IE8. I think it is more a Java problem as everything worked Ok until I took a Java upgrade.
