Using safari and I want to download Firefox
I recently upgrade to Snow Leopard from Tiger which uses safari, I am a photographer and would like to to register my copy right Image to the copy right office is washington DC over the internet.. The beta works with Firefox... I wanted to know what steps I would need to do to download Firefox on my mac book pro... The pros and cons... is it straight forward simply download firefox and then I can use either safari or firefox when I want? I am not a mac or computer expert just fumbling my way through as I need different application and so on... Thanks for taking the time to help a novice out..
When I upgraded to snow leopard I didn't know I had to upgrade aperture as well as other software, now I do.... so I was hoping to save time and some headaches by asking the safari/Firefox first...
Good luck with Firefox.
I like Firefox for several reasons, one of which are the great add-ons you can get. I don't go overboard with them, but there are some privacy and security add-ons that I wish Safari had.
On the other hand, Firefox is just too painfully slow on my Mac, and even more of a resource hog than Safari, that it's just not viable as my first browser of choice.
I even tried using the Furbism "optimized" Firefox build for my particular machine, and an example of how processor-heavy Firefox is: I had three or four tabs open, and the entire application minimized in my dock. In my Activity Window, it was still taking over 50% of my CPU's capacity!
Maybe you'll have better luck with your machine. By the way, you have to go to Safari preferences to choose your browser of choice, even if it's not Safari.
Cheers!

Explorer will not open and I want to download Firefox, but have no browser. What can I do?
Internet Explorer will not open on my husband's laptop. There is internet service, but no browser. I want to download Firefox but have no browser to open. Is there a way to download it on a thumb drive and then upload it to the laptop?
Download the Firefox installer on another computer and copy the file to an USB memory stick.

firefox crashes on opening, every time, and very speedily; I have sent reports in, when it began, without receiving any help; since then I've been trying delete firefox and reinstall it, but have miserably failed; I have very little time to play around with it, so have fallen back to safari, but I want to get back to it as simply as possible! I am the opposite of a computer nerd, as you can imagine! But I know what I like ...
Simple help, please? Many thanks.See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash...

i'm using macbook and i want to upload videos in vimeo, they informed me that safari 5.1 is no longer supported. what should i do? please advice, thank you!
If there is an indication of minimum specification in browser support, flash player plugin or other limits that have recently been changed, those should be available from Vimeo support.
The expectation of several things to be continued in an older OS X such as Leopard 10.5.8, has been showing its age and various browsers supporting that system online are fewer now. Safari has no upgrade version for this old of OS X. You may be able to use a different web browser to see if it would work.
There may be a later version of Flash that could work, or maybe not. A few browsers may do OK, I have a version of SeaMonkey (not the PPC version) in my MacBook1.1, running in Leopard 10.5.8. The last version of FireFox is no longer updated, but I have that too. The iCab browser (shareware) may do OK, you can test it since it runs freely w/o license.
For overall better web experience, you may need to look into the MacBook specifications and consider an upgrade to both the OS X system (buy/install retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD -- then download Combo Update 10.6.8 v1.1) and see if the computer can support more chip RAM installed. Of course if the hard disk drive is running full, make an external archive of your created content and a backup before considering upgrading the OS X and any applications.
With Snow Leopard 10.6.8, you have better browser support, newer Flash player plugin, and a few features that may be better for your overall experience with the MacBook. However it may ask for more resources than a basic Leopard 10.5.8 system, generally most reviews appear to be good. I have a MacBook1.1 (mid-2006) coreduo 1.83GHz model; it can run Snow Leopard 10.6.8 as a last upgrade & nothing further for mine.
While OS X 10.6.8 is a portal to attempt further OS X upgrades via Mac App Store, etc, the hardware of the early older MacBook may find better usefulness left at Snow Leopard. If you have several older applications written for PPC hardware (they run under Rosetta, an option in Snow Leopard no longer available after it) you may choose to keep the upgrade path at OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard even if there is a hint your MacBook could be upgraded to, say, Lion 10.7.5. You'd lose support for older applications not written to Universal or PPC.
Good luck & happy computing! -
I want to download Firefox on a flashdrive so I can then download it to my home computer which is not connected to the internet. When I download Firefox, it won't let me change the path and so tries to download on a public computer, which isn't allowed. The reason I want it on my home computer is because I'm creating web pages and I want to view my html pages using a variety of browsers, including Firefox.
From another computer, go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/, click "Free download" button, click "Save File" button, select your flash drive in "Save as" window. "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" file will be saved in your flash drive.
You just need to insert it in your new computer and double-click on "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" from Windows Explorer and follow instructions. -
I would like to use Safari AND firefox, how can I achieve that?
For certain things I need to be able to use Safari and would like to know if you can help me to do that without getting rid of Firefox.
Thanks, BneedsWhat browser is currently set as the default browser?
If Firefox is set as the default browser then it is possible that links that open the default browser will now open Firefox.

You may have to set Safari again as the default browser.

When I turn on firefox the sound of an alarm begins and keeps going. I did not download or add or open anything. A sound like the old pacman game initiates the never ending alarm. It does not occur with safari and ends if I close firefox.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I opened firefoxdont have google open in a tab!!!!!!!!
(if you are one who opens FF and it opens google then immediately open another tab to go to a site then just visit the site from the page that opened without opening a new tab)
OR
if you have cool preview then disable that
(the sound is for the celebration of 30 years of pacman and you can play the game on google's homepage) -
i have an ipad 2 with ios 6 and i want to download ibooks using the itunes on my laptop .but the ibooks is compatible with ios 7 or later.i need ibooks urgently and how do i download the compatible version in my windows laptop.
Download the iBooks app to iTunes on your computer. Once it's downloaded, go to the Purchased section in the App Store on the iPad, select iBooks and you should be prompted to download a compatible version.

So I just updated to the newest update that was available for safari and iTunes but now it won't let me go on the Internet using safari and it also won't let me sync my songs ,,,,,(it takes forever to backup my iPad AND my iPod) so what can I do ?
If you're on windows try the following:
This worked for me an hour ago and has allowed me to sync ok. Still haven't tried downloading the new version 5 to the phone yet as I'm still backing up photos etc just in case.
1. Quit itunes
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
4. press ENTER
5. Reboot your machine
6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
7. Good luck -
hello everyone! i have a new macbook pro and i want to download aperture. my app store says it is already installed (on my old macbook pro). how do i install aperture from the app store in this instance please?
Are yoy sure that Apeture is not in the Applications folder of the new system? If it is move it to the trash and the App Store will let you download Aperture from it.
You will need to make sure you use the same Apple ID you used to purchase it in the past.

Question
I would like to be able to take a website that I use ofter and drop it on the firefox screen below the url. Then I will have a quick access. How do I do this? I currently use this on my laptop, but recently bought a new computer and downloaded firefox and lost a lot of features that I enjoyed.Hi Ruthannw,
I think you are talking about the [[Bookmarks Toolbar]]. That article will show you how to add sites to the toolbar and even how to display the toolbar if it is hidden in your new Firefox install.
Hopefully this helps!
