When I click on internet explorer,(I use also w/ Firefox), a file download appears called firefox.exe preventing IE from opening
I use IE as well as firefox. When I click the icon for IE, A file download box appears called Firefox.exe. I cannot open IE because of it. When I select run, Firefox opens. When I select save, a Firefox icon appears on my desktop. When I click on that, I get an "application not found" message.

Hello. I have windows xp. When using Firefox as my home page, I get awful screen interference of lines verticle and horizontal. When I switch to Internet Explorer I don't get them. I want to keep Firefox as server.
Here is something that you can try:
# Click on Tools and then click Options.
# Select the Advanced panel
# Select the General tab
# Uncheck Use hardware acceleration where available.
# Click File and then click Exit.
# Start Firefox normally.
Once you have followed those steps, you'll want to follow these as well and see if the lines are gone.
Click the Help menu and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
Let me know if this has eliminated the problem. -
Not sure if this problem is with firefox or with my computer in general. I can't seem to get the download to work because the only option I get is to "save" the file, not "run" or "open"... Thank you for your help
Firefox does not have a built-in "Run" option on downloads for security reasons. If you "Run" an item, your anti-virus/anti-spyware may not have an opportunity to fully examine the contents until it is already installed on your hard drive. Result: damage, if infected, is already installed on your system.
With that in mind, you can install the following add-on, but you accept the risk mentioned above ('''NOTE:''' the developer has not updated this product -- OR any of his other 7 extensions -- to be compatible beyond Firefox 3.6.x; therefore, when you upgrade to a more current version of Firefox, you may lose the functionality of the add-on if the developer does not update it.):

I have Mac OS 10.4.11. My Mac Laptop Pro has a new hard drive and has been completely refurbished by Apple. However ever since, I have not been able to obtain the correct Firefox. Prior to the replacement of my hardrive, I had Firefox and used it for many years. Not being able to download the correct Firefox is frustrating. Firefox 4 will NOT work on Mac OS 10.4.11. But every time I click on a download of 3.5 or 3.6 the download turns out to be Firefox 4. I cannot use Firefox 4, do not want Firefox 4 but it keeps trying to plant itself on my computer even though it will NOT work on my computer. YIKES!!!!
There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html -
Even when I copy the http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html url directly to the Windows browser it still will not show the FireFox download links. Has anyone else run into this problem?
Thanks to whoever posted a reply to someone else telling them to copy the download on another machine to a ubs memory then plug it into the offending machine. It worked!

I don't know what I did to make this happen. I am not sure how to change it back.
ThanksWhat version of OS X are you running?

Why does my laptop use a proxy server for mozilla or chrome when i check in internet explorer it sais my system isnt but it is it jumps back to a proxy server in mozille when i tick no proxy ?? help please im not wizzy thanks
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Disable set as background from right click in internet explorer 8,9,10,11 by GPO in Win Serv 2008 R2
Hi.
How to disable ''set as background'' from right click in internet explorer 8,9,10,11 by GPO in Win Serv 2008 R2.
People in my domain can set their background by right click in the pics on their IE, I enabled by GPO a wallpaper by default in ''Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop > Desktop Wallpaper'' and I enable too the ''Administrative Templates
> Control Panel > Personalization > Prevent changing desktop background'' at login people have the corporative Desktop but they can change by IE. What can I do? thanks.
<u5:p></u5:p>Hi,
I test this issue, actually, in IE 11, the option "set as backgroud" is grayed out after I applied policy Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization > Prevent changing desktop background, but seems not suitable for
other versions of IE.

Two recent emails (Yahoo! Mail) each contained multiple attachments which were presented to me as zip files which were in a format that my computer could neither open or convert to files I could open. One was two Word documents; the other was five one-page PDFs. I tried with Firefox on two different computers with same results. When I switched to Internet Explorer, I was able to open the attachments each as separate Word or PDF files, with no trouble. Am I doing something wrong?
instead of writing such an essay, you could have explained better what you tried to do to get them.

Using iPad. Having trouble with settings and trying to update. When I click settings, then general, I do not get the option to update software. Need to update iOS from 4.1 to 6. Also unable to purchase iBooks. Thanks much
Settings>General>Software Update is only available in IOS 5 and above.
If you are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software.

Using iMovie. I selected "New Movie" from the menu. Now when I click on "Events" all I see is the movie. There are no imported video cups to select from. What did I do?
At the top middle of the screen is a clips filter. Make sure that "All Clips" is selected.
