Firefox updates automatically - see [[Updating Firefox]] - but if you want to update to the latest Firefox version (currently 9.0.1) by downloading the installer .dmg file, just save it to your computer then start the installation by double-clicking the .dmg file. See [[Installing Firefox on Mac]] if you need more help.

  • I downloaded the update and it asks what program to use to install it?

    It downloads the update, then ask what program I want to use to install the download. It gives me the list of software; i.e., Adobe, Office, Notepad, etc.
    So - what software do I use to install it since it is not automatically installing the update itself.
    Thanks, Pat

    Maybe it didn't get the EXE extension.  If it does not have the extension, put one on it and see if that helps.
    If it has a DMG extension, it is the Mac version of the software.

  • Trying to download a FIrefox and when I click on run it asks what program I want to use to open with so I cant finish install

    I've been using FF for years and lately have been having issues with internet access. Worked through the troubleshooting suggestions and got it working, but last night FF couldn't connect to internet after something updated and my Norton anti virus was gone too and I couldn't fix it. The last resort was to delete my ff and download new, so I did. When I clicked on run I got a pop up asking what program I wanted to open it with and of course nothing worked. By then it was 1:30 am so I quit. Today I'm having the same issue and I'm at the end of my rope trying to figure out what to do. I'm so disgusted and can't stand it.

  • When i open firefox, i get asked what program i want to use to open this file.

    when i open firefox, i get asked what program i want to use to open this file. i select firefox to open firefox, and it opens to - Index of file:///C:/Documents and Settings/HP_Administrator/- instead of my home page. this has been going on for months. today i updated my kaspersky intrnet security 2011 and since then fire fox will only open in firefox safe, even if i shut down kaspersky. IE opens with no problems.
    thanks

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    I downloaded an update for my Safari web browser to "snow leopard". When I click on the .dmg file, a window opens up with a .pkg file but when I click on the .pkg file I get a prompt saying that it doesn't know what program to open it with.

    I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

  • In email, when I click on a "pdf" file, how do i get it to just open instead of being asked what program I want to use?

    When I get a "pdf" in an email and I click on the "pdf" button, I am always asked what program I want to use. How do I get the file to just open automatically?

    You can specify in Windows what program to use for a given extension, for instance Adobe Acrobat Reader, for files with PDF extension. How you can connect the program and the extension, is described in this article; [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default "Change which programs Windows uses by default"]
    In Firefox PDF links get opened automatically with Acrobat reader. When clicking on PDF attachments in Thunderbird, however, you will need to associate the program and the extension as described in the above article.
    Hope it helps!

  • My computer just started asking what program to use to run firefox. what happened and how do I fix? Thanks

    I just installed Firefox a few days ago and has been really good. Today my computer will not open Firefox, it keeps wanting to know what program to open in.

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

    You can remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) manually if you can't uninstall.

  • Love Acrobat XI, but when I installed it became the default program to open all my photos.  I'd like them to open in theirr native (JPEG, etc. format) How do I disable the PDF default conversion ? Cant' find anything in Preferences that works.

    Love Acrobat XI, but when I installed it became the default program to open all my photos.  I'd like them to open in theirr native (JPEG, etc. format) How do I disable the PDF default conversion ? Cant' find anything in Preferences that works.

    Sounds like a file association issue in Windows. Right click on the files of interest and select Open With>Choose Default Program and select the program you want used (be sure the "always use" box is checked. The Acrobat installation should not have done this change, but this is the process to make the change on each file type.

  • Changing default program to open a file with Regedit

    Hi 
    Is there a way to change the default program to open a file with another program using a Rededit key. I would like to change the program to open a .g3pp file with vlc instead of media player cause it doesn't read it.
    Thanks

    Why make life hard for yourself? Just right-click any .g3pp-file, then left-click "Open with". That's all!

  • Repeatedly asked what program to oper PDF, Word, Wav, etc. despite defaults being set in tools, box checked

    Despite setting defaults for PDF, Word Docs, Wav files and box being checked. I am asked EVERY time; "what program would you like Firefox to use."

    Can you post an example link that is publicly accessible?
    Sites can cause the download prompt to appear regardless of your settings, using one of two methods:
    * Identifying the file as a generic MIME type using the ''Content-Type: application/octet-stream'' header.
    * Sending the ''Content-Disposition: attachment'' header.
    You can check if that's the case by examining the response headers for the file request in question, using the Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K).
