Want to use Firefox as my Browser, can i?

I am trying to install Mozilla Firefox as my 'Web Browser' to use with Google as my search engine, and have been unable to get it done. I use Internet Explorer & windows 7 laptop.

Hello
> I have downloaded Firefox but when I click to open it I get the hourglass icon for a while but eventualy it goes away and nothing happens.
Does this mean you cant start the Firefox installation or open Firefox like Internet Explorer?
As Timox wrote I think you should contact Mozilla Firefox support. Who knows why the program doesnt start
By the way and what you can try:
Download and install Firefox again, maybe its only a corrupt file and make sure that no firewall and AntiVirus is blocking the installation.
Good luck! :)

  • How can I import addresses from one of my address book accounts into webmail at my internet service so that another individual who uses Firefox as their browser can send out emails using those addresses?

    I was able to export addresses to webmail @ sonic.net (csv format via previous gmail user) and read them fine using my normal browser, Safari. However, when trying to use the imported addresses via Firefox, the addresses had a symbol inbetween each letter of the email address and thus could not be used.

    Sorry I put this in the wrong forum. I shall post again to Leopard/mail etc.

    Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

  • Why can't I use firefox as my browser on my iPad

    Why can't I use firefox as my browser on my iPad also why can't I access adobe flash

    Flash is not supported on any iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Apps such as Skyfire claim to support flash, but their reviews are mixed.
    In terms of Firefox, you can only install apps (i.e. programs) that are available in the iTunes App Store, not normal PC or Mac software - the iPad runs iOS, not OS or Windows. If the makers of Firefox havn't created an iOS version of it then you cannot run it.
    Edit : some websites (especially news sites) have their own apps in the App Store

  • Aleks 'higher ed' -- precalcus -- won't run on Firefox for windows; I want to use Firefox, not Chrome or Explorer per the ALEKS recomendation; what should I do

    I tried to join ALECKS. I received a Java warning that Google has not fixed a problem that makes Firefox running on Windows unstable when using a Java version = or > 7.0. I don't want to follow the Alex recommendation to use Chrome or Explorer; using the ALECKS path to install a 6.x version of Java didn't work for me. I want to use Firefox as my only browser. If that is not possible re: ALECKS, I will use the Khan Academy in lieu of ALECKS.

    When I go to Juno webmail using Firefox as my browser, I can't access the address book. With other browsers, as an example, after opening an E-mail, I can click on "Forward", then click on "To", and my address book will open. This doesn't work when Firefox is the browser.

  • I teach online and firefox is recommended, Recently, the email functions quit working. They work with Explorer but not firefox. I want to use firefox.

    When using Firefox, I can work in LoudCloud, which is Grand Canyon University's program; however, any locations from which I send students emails, comments, answers to questions, etc., is no longer working. It works when I switch to Internet Explorer, but I want to use Firefox. It is more user-friendly. Should I re-download Firefox?

    Could you check which mail program or site is set to handle "mailto" links and try resetting it:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
    In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause while Firefox filters the list. You should get one row with a drop-down on the right that lets you choose your mail program or site. If your program is not selected, go ahead and change it now. If it is already selected, try refreshing the setting by changing to another program or site and OK out of the dialog. Then go back and change it back.
    Does that make any difference? If I have misunderstood the email feature you're trying to use, could you describe it in more detail?

    see -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
    which explains how to completely exit (quit) your Mozilla application
    Try closing Firefox completely
    *Close Firefox properly '''File > Exit''', not with the "X" which just closes the window.
    *Use the Windows Task Manager "Processes" tab to make sure that firefox.exe is not running and also that the plugin-container.exe is not running.
    If that does not work, try restarting the system.
    If still no luck try restoring bookmarks from last backup, or better create your own .json backup and restore from that.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox#Creating_bookmark_backups
    *''If you had to go this far, please provide feedback if restoring bookmarks alone fixed the problem. I think I may have done that once with success, but never see that suggested -- I'd try most anything to not lose history or bookmarks. But then I could restore files from my profile and restore latest bookmarks backup from current profile.''
    The following will result in complete loss of history if it comes down to deleting places.sqlite, so rename files rather than deleting. With Firefox down.
    Of course you have backups of your profile you could replace rename and
    replace those files instead.

    There are two possibilities for high resolution with the new iMac;
    The Apple or 3rd party mini-DisplayPort to DVI-D single-link adapter has a maximum supported resolution of 1920 x 1200. Use a DVI-D single-link to HDMI cable if you have HDMI ports on your TV.
    The Apple or 3rd party mini-DisplayPort to DVI-D dual-link adapter has a maximum supported resolution of 2560 x 1600. Use a DVI-D dual-link to HDMI cable if you have HDMI ports on your TV.
    The better cabling that you purchase the more bandwidth available for transmission and the less digital artifacts in your images. More expensive is not always better quality.

  • I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys.  Don't want to use audio text.  How can I get this back?

    I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys.  Don't want to use audio text.  How can I get this back?

    Hey there tjbliven,
    It sounds like you are not able to use the dictation feature of iOS 8, becuase the microphone icon is missing. It seems to me like Siri may be turned off, which would cause the icon to not be there:
    Siri settings - iPhone
    To set options for Siri, go to Settings > General > Siri. Options include:
    Turning Siri on or off
    That should get the dictation feature back for you.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling
