Want to install firefox on win 7 that has no email address - assume firefox has thunderbird

Want to download foxfire to a friends win 7 computer. His system has no email but has broadband and internet service. I cannot see how firefox can configure an account - a new email account. Also in order to get a google account or get gmail, one has to have an email addr. I just did this and downloaded firefox to my mac to test things out. I cannot see how to create another email account besides the one I have with mail 4.4 and using tds.net services. All I want to do is help a friend get email on a win 7 machine - using firefox!!
Why is this so hard?

Firefox is just a web browser and has no email features. Email accounts accessed through Firefox are webmail accounts such as Gmail.
Thunderbird is a separate application, you can install it if you need to set up an email account that is not web based. If you need help with using Thunderbird, you can ask in one of these forums which specialize in Thunderbird:

  • Why don't you have a phone #. I want to install Firefox on my ipad2 and can't get an answer. Apple says Firefox is coming for ipad2...when?

    I want to install Firefox on my ipad2 and can't get help. Apple says Firefox is coming for ipad2...when??? Why don't you have a phone# for support? Safari does not allow me to do what I need to on some websites. Help!!

    Apple's rules for their app store do not allow programs such as Firefox to be run on their iOS devices. We do have a tool to allow access to your Firefox Sync bookmarks and history on your iOS device.

        Hi there T&P63385!
    Look no further! I have the answer for you! You can add a new email account to your android device by following these steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31401
    Now I do want to let you know that your phone has a "main" gmail account. If this "main" gmail account was the one you deleted it may be best that you reset your phone and activate it to your new gmail address.
    The reason I recommend doing this is all of your purchased application information is also tied to your gmail.
    Ensure your personal information is backed up (contacts, pictures, etc) and follow these steps to Hard Reset your phone:http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31308
    Let me know if you have any other questions!
    Thanks,

  • I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.

    I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.

    Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead?  Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

  • When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

    When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

    I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

  • My apple ID is showing someone elses email address and not mine so when i want to buy or update apps it brings this other email address up. please can someone help how do i put it back to my email address?

    my apple ID is showing someone elses email address and not mine so when i want to buy or update apps it brings this other email address up. please can someone help how do i put it back to my email address?

    First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab.  Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
    An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours.  Did you let someone else use your iPhone?

  • Does Authenticated SMTP Ensure that the Sender Email Address Matches the Username/password Entered?

    Does Authenticated SMTP ensure that the sender email address
    matches the username/password entered?
    <P>
    Not by default. However, in netscape.mail.conf, you can set
    RewriteFromUsingAuth and/or RewriteSenderUsingAuth to "Yes"
    which will rewrite the header "From:" and/or "Sender:" to be
    the authenticated sender of the message.
    <P>
    On NT, the keys are in the registry under
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Netscape\Messaging Server\3.0\Dispatch\Config

    I found the answer.
    Apple has turned on an app-specific password for iPhoto and other Apple apps. It's located in the Apple ID management section under Passwords and Security.
    As soon as I entered that new generated password in iPhoto I was able to send a pic with my iCloud.com email address.
    Now I know where to go. Thanks for your help.

  • I want to install Firefox on a USB thumbdrive and use it on multiple computers

    Is it possible to install Firefox on a USB storage device, (thumbdrive), and be able to start up and use Firefox on various machines, (such as at a public library), without having to perform an installation process on each individual machine?

    It was great to get an answer so fast. I knew there was a simple solution, but I didn't have it at the time! Basically, I tend to get really frustrated, really fast with anyone but Firefox.
    Thanks again, you guys are great!!!
