Unable to download firefox

I am trying to download the free firefox download and the process keeps stopping at step one. I never make it to the works wizard part.

I am unable to download firefox 4.0. It says "The proxy server is refusing connections". I don't know what to do!

I tried to download firefox 4.0 today and now I am unable to connect to the internet from home. It says, "The proxy server is refusing connections." -Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. -check the proxy settings to make sure they are correct. -contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy is working.
I do not know what this means or what to do. Please help!

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection<br />
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
See "Firefox connection settings":
* [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]

Hi Manu,
The best way to download Firefox would be through the official source at http://www.getfirefox.com. When it finishes downloading, drag the Firefox icon to your Applications folder, and then "eject" the disk image.
Regarding other sites, you may be having trouble due to not having the Flash plugin installed. You can download it at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Hope this helps.

Unable to download firefox to my laptop.

Please don't laugh! I am still using Windows 2000 Professional
on my OLD Dell Inspiron lap top. I have tried to download
FireFox with IE (ver. 6) and it continously gives me an error
message "IE cannot download from FireFox setup 3.6.13.exe from mirror2.mirror.tds.net / IE was unable to open the internet
site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be
found. Please try again later". I even tried to upgrade my IE
to a newer version and had a similar message from Windows.
Sincerely, AAFPLLC

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.

I am unable to download Firefox to a new MacBook Air running OS10.7.2? What am I missing?

I have gone to the Firefox site and attempted to download Firefox for Mac (English/U.S. version). I am told that download should start in a few seconds. NOthing happens. I click on "If download does not begin...". I get a brief glimpse of what looks like a tornado spiralling off to the left side of my computer, then, nothing.

Hi ClareKing-
Hopefully this link will work better for you. Get the latest version here: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/]

I have Firefox 4 on Mac OS10.6 and am unable to download Firefox updates.s

I periodically get on my screen a notice of an available update to Firefox. It says to click in order to download. I do so and it goes on forever and continues indefinitely. I also tried to download Firefox 5 manually and when trying to put it into my applications folder got a message that I couldn't 'cause I didn't have permission for all things . I have Mac OS 10.6.7 and it's working fine with Firefox 4.

Exactly what are you getting? A pic of the message would help.
And no. I am not going to click on your link.

Want Firefox on my iPad and I get a message that Safari is unable to download Firefox?

When I attempt to download Firefox onto my iPad from the Internet I get a message sayin that my Internet browser, Safari, is failed to download it. I get this message every time I try.

There is no version of Firefox for the iPad or iPhone. There is an app called Firefox Home which allows you to have your Firefox bookmarks on those devices. Firefox Home is available from the App Store.

Unable to download firefox 4.0, getting a message saying that I do not have sufficient privilages to some of the items.

Tried to replace my firefox with 4.0, but unable to do so.
Error message saying" I do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."

If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions then easiest is to download the full version and 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

Hi,
The issue which you are facing comes when you the certificate installed on the ACS is either not correct or has gone corrupt. You would not be able to install a fresh certificate on the ACS Appliance through console or SSH.
You can open a TAC case and send a backup of the ACS database, they might be able to correct the database. Otherwise the only other option is to reimage the ACS Appliance.
To access an ACS Appliance from the console, you can go to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_solution_engine/4.2/installation/guide/solution_engine/instalap.html#wp1065399
To administer the ACS Appliance, take a backup etc., you can go to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_solution_engine/4.2/installation/guide/solution_engine/admap.html

Am unable to download FireFox. I get stalled on the page after clicking on the green pannel.

I experienced a FireFox crash that would not recover. After several attempts to restart FireFox, I deleted the browser. I find that I can not download the application, now. I click on the green panel of the download screen and get passed to the next 1 - 2 - 3 screen. There is some disc activity and a small window pops up and then quickly disappears. The disc activity continues, but the download process never continues.
