What is happening when I download firefox, and I get tne icon with the circle with the slash thru it, and " could not be launched -10661"

Someone did some mayhem, to my " new to me " Apple eMac G4. I came home, (the G4 was asleep) when I woke it, the trash was an eject button, I had two web pages minimized, I went on line and Firefox worked as it had before. After, I shut it down that evening, it wouldn't start up the next day, and, when, I tried, to downnload, it, I get Firefox app could not be launched -10661.

Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.<br />
Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For an unofficial Firefox 8 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

  • Browser window gone! Happened when I downloaded bar "partially" to get coupon. cancelled before finished. Deleted it in computer...still no browser

    Made the unwise decision looking for a coupon to download a bar. Canceled before it finished .. went into computer and deleted. Everything there on my page except the browser window/bar My page is I think an AOL Firefox page. When I turn on computer normally I have a big search engine in the middle which I ignore. I go to browser and start www.aol (never have to finish..drop box has log in..click)& Huffington post comes with email available. Have my news & then go to email. I like that! Now NO browser window!! To get to email had to go to history and find past & update! Clicked on browser control...warnings & error! How do I fix this? Not tech y so please easiest fix?!
    Windows 7...apparently Firefox auto took me to 25.0.1.
    Normally have only good things to say...this was my doing...hope you all can help me easily undo!!

    Well now I have lost my Firefox emblem, file, edit, history, etc. & most important can't click on help or settings because all is gone! I was able to get into mail before by going to history and finding AOL.
    Now I can click at top and still have open windows at top and one is AOL...but if lose that & I'm really lost!!
    When on AOL there is only that page...nothing else. At some point yesterday I clicked on settings (I think) & somehow stumbled on page that said the following...
    Config Proxies to access (something) then boxes I'll list not marked but one marked.
    no proxy...auto detect proxy...manual proxy config (Use system proxy was checked) then many many things with boxes not filled in...like HTTP,SSI,FTP, Socks host...below that socks v5 checked.
    Then a box that said above no proxy for...inside said, local host 127.0.0.1
    Below box it said Example: Mozilla.org.net.nz or maybe mz...192.168.l.0/24
    Then an unchecked box saying:proxy config URL:
    I am truly afraid to touch anything but what do I have to lose now...guess nothing. Have read all the problems everyone is having..whats up with all that!! Read somewhere that if I had an AOL proxy setting I have to un-install Firefox & start over. Honestly that is beyond me...my son first installed everything on computer when new. Apparently I had checked for firefox to auto update... knew there were problem's with this...or maybe I just got tired of them telling me & did it myself.
    Where do I, a novice, go from here? I gathered I caused this myself when I tried the d___ bar for coupons. This is when everything happened. Should I go to one of those free places to check for malware? Must go now but will check for response later aft. Thank you for trying to help me!

  • Firefox won't open/connect tp the internet. Explorer opens and connects. Windows firewall turned off. No other antivirus program running. Happened when I downloaded new Firefox update.

    I had the same problem when i dl-ed a new anti-virus softward, but what I did help me reconnect Firefox again!
    Here is what I did,
    Go to open firefox browser-->option-->advanced-->network-->settings-->and change it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network!
    It worked for you, hope it will work for you too =)!

  • My backward and forward arrows are missing when I download Firefox 4.0

    My brother was at my home this past weekend and he downloaded Firefox 4.0 to his Windows Vista laptop and the download worked perfectly. When he downloaded Firefox 4.0 to my Windows Vista desktop, the download is missing the backward and forward arrows are missing and I find it very difficult to use the Firefox application. My brother removed the program and redownloaded the program at least 4 more times and every time the program downloaded with no backward or forward arrows. Both applications were downloaded from the same Firefox 4.0 website. How can this happen and what can be done to correct it?

  • What bookmarks does the firefox give you when you download firefox?

    I am not sure how but all of my mozilla firefox bookmarks were erased. I do not know if I will ever need them but I would like to put them back in case I do. Thanks

    Hi Dennis,
    Firefox does not really include much in the way of bookmarks when you initially download it.
    *What did you have a set of bookmarks on another version of Firefox ?
    *and was that on the same or a different computer ?
    * Presumably these were bookmarks that you saved yourself ?
    If you have been using Firefox for a while or have imported bookmarks from some other browser then you will have a collection of bookmarks, that Firefox stores in a folder and set of files called the profile.
    If you update Firefox. Or if you uninstall it (without explicitly deleting the profile) and reinstall again Firefox looks for and trys to provide the previous bookmarks and history.
    What has happened have you reinstalled Firefox on a new computer ? <br> if so see
    * [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    Otherwise maybe these are appropriate
    * [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
    * [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]]
    If you try to provide a bit more information about what happened maybe I will be able to give better advice. I am not sure at the moment exactly what your situation is ragarding any previous bookmarks.

  • When I download firefox, using recommended setting, or my own, all the sub files/folders like plugins, modules, updater end up on the desktop as well as in the file location. And when I try to put them into the file location, they don't. And when I delete

    When I download firefox, using recommended setting, or my own, all the sub files/folders like plugins, modules, updater end up on the desktop as well as in the file location. And when I try to put them into the file location, they don't. And when I delete them, FireFox won't open. I tried deleting FireFox and reinstalling it multiple times, and a message pops up sometimes that says FireFox may not have installed correctly, so I follow the steps, but all the extra icons on my desktop don't go away. This has happened every time I have downloaded FireFox. The browser itself works, but I need to know how to get rid of these icons, but still be able to use FireFox. This is on a new computer, with Windows 7.
    == I downloaded FireFox. ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6

    Managed to solve this myself. Just went to properties > hidden.

  • Why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this also happen when I download.

    why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this is also happen when I download. if I does not move the mouse, the download process stops or stagnant ormanaged to download but not full

    hey, just to keep you updated - there is now a fix available for firefox 25, which should address the particular problem of pages not loading unless the mouse is moved.
    if you have downgraded to firefox 24 to work around the issue, please go to ''firefox > options > advanced > update'' and turn automatic updates back on. then go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' which should trigger the update to firefox 25.0.1.
    <br>in case you need to download the setup file for firefox 25.0.1 separately you can do so from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox

    my friend gave me his iphone 4s and the phone is asking me to activate it under my friends apple id and password. my friend and i were wondering what would happen when we activate the iphone 4s? we don't know if it ist going to unlock it so we can use it or if it is going to activate his phone again into the iphone 4s

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

    Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
    Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
    What Operating System is the computer running?

  • What's happening when Word opens and saves a document?

    Hello,
    I got very unspecific question, but I don't know where to start. I have an open xml document which gets generated by a third party tool. If I open the document using open xml sdk it looks VERY different from how it looks like when I opened and saved it before
    using Word 2013.
    I'm trying to get an understanding on whats Word doing! From what I've seen it's doing some remodelling on the xml file, since it looks very different (other and way more descendants than before) and I would like to achieve the same thing using open xml.
    Although this might be already to much information: The generated word documents contains html code with links to pictures. After Word has touched the file the picture is inside a drawing element, before it's not but in Word both versions look the same.
    I'm thankful for any help you can give me.
    Cheers Andreas

    Hi Cheers Andreas,
    >> If I open the document using open xml SDK it looks VERY different from how it looks like when I opened and saved it before using Word 201
    >> What's happening when Word opens and saves a document?
    This forum is discussing about Open XML developing. This is not exactly an OpenXML SDK questions. To be frank, I do not know exactly what Word opens and saves a documents either (this is the implementation details of the product).
    If you are interested on it, the forum below might be more appropriate for you:

    >> From what I've seen it's doing some remodelling on the xml file, since it looks very different (other and way more descendants than before) and I would like to achieve the same thing using open xml.
    What do you mean by “other and way more descendants”? Do you mean that you want to add new nodes in the xml document? In my option, different objects in word have different nodes. You could refer the link below for more information about Word processing.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/office/cc850833.aspx
    If you have issues about OpenXML SDK, since it is a new issue which is different from your original issue, I suggest you post a new thread for the new issue in this forum. Then there would be more community members to discuss the question.
