We cannot get firefox installed on our new laptop with windows 8, what do we need to do?

I have a Windows 8.1 platform on a new computer. When we try to download firefox the button comes up to push run. After that Norton scans and states that it is safe but a new program with very few people using it. I click on the spot saying that it is safe, and it goes away, but the program doesn't run. I've also tried to download it and then run. it will download but when I try to run it Norton comes up and the same thing as above happens.
I've also tried turning off Norton for 1 hour and tried the same 2 things as above with the same results.

In case Norton is objecting to the "stub" installer (the download has the word "stub" in the name) try using the full installer. You can download it from the following page, just scroll down to your preferred language:
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
Does that one work?

  • Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

    I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    Try installing from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise

  • Hard drive died.  Need to reinstall on new laptop with windows 7 64 bit system,  Need to get activation code for CS3 Web Premium.

    Hard drive died.  Cannot uninstall CS3 to remove copy registration. Need to reinstall on new laptop with windows 7 64 bit system,  Need to get activation code for CS3 Web Premium.

    Thank you Bob.
    Just to clarify - in terms of backing up one set of these, would that just be so I had it on disk and didn't need to re-download from Adobe if the installation got corrupted somehow?  Or do I need a backup for some other reason?
    Thanks

  • I had to change a password stored in Firefox, and now I cannot get Firefox to remember a new password.

    As stated, I was required to change a password, yet the old password still appeared in the field, so I went into settings and deleted the old one, but now I cannot get Firefox to save the new password. And yes, I have wasted a lot of time attempting the "solutions" on the help sites, but nothing has worked. Thank you for any help.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving form data like name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox store form data like names and passwords.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered
    Note that Firefox won't auto-fill saved form data automatically when autocomplete=off is used, so you need to double-click the empty name field to get a drop-down list.

  • Unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8

    unable to install itunes for new computer with windows 8
    states this app unable to run on this PC

    Hello jgrn76,
    It sounds like you are getting an error stating that the iTunes installer cannot be run on your computer. I would try downloading the 64 bit version of iTunes from here:
    iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (64-bit)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1615
    If issues persist when trying to install it, I would try running through the steps in the article named:
    Issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1926
    Otherwise, would you mind elaborating a bit on what the error message says, word for word?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Installing CS2Premium upgrade onto new laptop with Windows 8

    I am trying to install a Creative Suite 2 Premium upgrade onto a new laptop with Windows 8.  The upgrade is from Photoshop 5.0, which I also have the original discs for, but is not installed on this new laptop.  Therefore, the upgrade is not being recognized.  I tried putting the 5.0 disc in and having the installation search for it as verification, but that wasn't working.  I realize both of these programs are ancient, but they are what I have.  So be it.  :-)  Can someone help me figure out how to get my CS2 upgrade to install? 

    Hi tensuns,
    You can download the CS2 Setup from the below mentioned link also please use the serial key mentioned in it.

  • I had an early version of photoshop (2.0 I think) that worked perfect on windows vista. I bought a new laptop with windows 8.1 and the photoshop won't install. Which version of Photoshop compatible with Windows 8.1 is closest to the older photoshop?

    I think you mean Photoshop CS2.  Photoshop 2 is from around 1992.  The old Adobe activation servers were taken down. CS2 is about a decade old Adobe made a new download for old customers that legal customers can download and install. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

  • I bought a new laptop with Windows 7. My computer name in Windows has changed, and now, my Ipad can't find Itunes

    I bought a new laptop with Windows 7. My computer name in Windows has changed, and now, my Ipad can't find Itunes, and Itunes can't find my Ipad. [email protected]

    Ok, if reinstalling iTunes as suggested above does not resolve the issue of iTunes recognising the iPad then try this -
    Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
    Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
    Thirdly, make sure your lead /connections are no faulty.
    Fourthly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
    Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
    As for making your new laptop your 'home computer' follow these instructions -
    1. Without connecting your iPad to your computer -
    A) Install iTunes / make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed.
    B) Go to the Store tab and click on "Authorise This Computer".
    C) Go to Edit, click on Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and click on Devices. Put a check mark in the box next to "Prevent  iPods/iPhones/iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK and close iTunes.
    2.  Connect your iPad to your computer -
    A) Start iTunes (it will not start automatically because of the action at 1(C) above).
    B) Right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select "Transfer purchases".
    C) When the transfer has completed, right click on your iPad again and select "Backup".
    D) When the backup has completed, left click on your iPad, click on the Apps tab, and put a check mark in the box next to "Sync Apps", and then click on "Apply" (bottom right).
    E) Unless you want to always do a manual sync (as I do), go back to Edit, Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and uncheck the box next to "Prevent your iPod.....".
    F) Finally, on your iPad, check that everything is syncing properly. If not, go back to iTunes and check all settings.
    NB You should not lose any apps. However, any 'purchased' missing apps can be downloaded again FOC. As with updates, this must be done with the Apple ID under which they were originally 'purchased'.
