When i run firefox setup all that shows up on my pc four shortcuts that open internet explorer

I downloaded and saved firefox set up and when i ran it a window showed the extraction but then nothing happened. i searched for mozilla and found only 4 shortcuts that open internet explorer.

If your Firefox is in FullScreen '''press F11 key''' OR move your Mouse cursor to the top of the window, right-click and Remove Checkmark from '''Hide Toolbars'''
-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select '''Menu Bar''' and '''Navigation ToolBar'''
-> press '''CTRL + B''' for '''Bookmarks Sidebar'''
Check and tell if its working.

  • Google desktop and Picasa open Internet Explorer even though Firefox is my default browser

    I am using Firefox 6, and no matter what I do clicking on Google Desktop opens Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. I have set Firefox as the default browser in at least 3 places: In Firefox itself; on the Internet Options section of the Control Panel; In the add/remove programs Set Default Programs screen. This is all in Windows XP professional. The same problem happens with Picasa online albums (when I go from my computer's Picasa to Web Albums). I don't know when this started, but now I cannot get my Web timeline. I have uninstalled Google Desktop.

    Hello nanemy1854, set also firefox as default browser in Add or Remove Programs list in win xp, see for more information : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/setting-firefox-default-browser-does-not-work#w_windows-xp Firefox as default browser in win xp].
    thank you

  • Dear All, I can't play flash videos from any web site through firefox because it freezes but when i run firefox as administrator then it works fine (But Google Chrome Plays all videos normally.) . I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help

    Dear All,
    Firefox hangs when i try to play flash videos from any site but when i run firefox as administrator it works fine. (but Google Chrome, Opera & I.E9 Plays videos without running as administrator.) I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

    How do I access websites that warn: "Firefox is NOT compatible with this application. For best performance, please use Internet Explorer 5.0 and above...."? When I try to download any alternate browser, all I get is another warning that the alternate is "not compatible with your operating system." Is Firefox preventing this? The site listed below is a job application site. I've had this same problem with other job application sites also.
    == URL of affected sites ==

    There should be a User Agent Switcher menu item under Tools, which gives you the browser names you can impersonate.
    The menu item name changes to the browser UA you are presently using.
    There is also a User Agent Switcher button, you can add it using View -> Toolbars -> Customize, and dragging the button to your toolbar.
    See http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/features/ and http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/
    You can just start trying IE versions (or the versions it says on the site) until it lets you in.

  • Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

    Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

    Hi,
    Please try disabling all the features under '''Browsing''' in '''Tools '''('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options '''> '''Advanced '''> '''General'''.

  • When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show favorites.

    When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show my favorites.  I've gone to "view" > toolbars and clicked on favorites bar but it won't show my favorites in the favorite bar.   This problem only started
    a couple of days ago.  Before then the favorites bar always showed with my favorite.

    Hi,
    Do you mean the favorites items don't show up in favorites bar or even the favorites bar
    doesn't shown up in IE?
    I suggest you check whether the favorites link existing in the favorites bar folder, you can click the
    in the up right corner, then expand folder "Favirites Bar", or manually check folder C:\Uses\username\Favorites\Favorites Bar
    Or create new favorite item, then check if it works.
    You can also try to launch IE in no add-on mode, then check the issue again, if problem disappears in this mode, then we can narrow down to find the culprit, launch IE by running
    %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -extoff

  • Search add ons popping up when opening internet explorer

    had a verizon tech work on this for hours said must  be in a registery file could not resolve with premiuym support

    Hello again bwt80144,
    Thank you for responding to my post requesting additional information. I am going to provide you with some steps to try below to see if we can get this issue of Search Add-Ons popping up on you.
    Step 1: Open Internet Explorer
    Step 2. Click the Tools button
    Step 3. Click Internet options
    Step 4. On the Advanced tab, under Security, select the Enable Enhanced Protected Mode check box
    Step 5. Click OK
    Step 6. Restart your computer
    ***NOTE: Enhanced Protected Mode helps protect your PC and personal data from malware and other attacks. When it's turned on, add-ons such as toolbars, extensions, and browser helper objects can only run if they're compatible with Enhanced Protected Mode. You'll be notified if an add-on is incompatible.
    Now if you are still having issues with the pop-ups you can try the steps below to remove the Add-Ons:
    Step 1. Open Internet Explorer
    Step 2. Click the Tools button
    Step 3. Click Manage Add-Ons
    Step 4. Click All add-ons
    Step 5. Select the add-on you want to delete
    Step 6. If the add-on can be deleted, you'll see the Remove option. Tap or click Remove
    Step 7. Click Close
    If none of the above works I would check my computer to ensure that I did not have a virus. I am providing you with an HP Support document: HP and Compaq Computers - Resolving and Preventing Viruses on Your Computer, which I would recommend that you review and apply to your computer to ensure that you are not infected with a virus.
    Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
    Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

  • How can I open Internet explorer only pages on a mac? The website that I need to access only permits internet explorer

    How can I open Internet explorer 'only' pages on a mac, without creating a drive partition and installing windows separately?
    I've tried winbottler, but it doesn't seem to serve my purpose. The web site that I'm trying to access only permits Internet explorer.

    Microsoft has not written IE for Mac for years so unless you want to create a parition and install Windows, or user a Windows emulator, you're out of luck for installing IE on a Mac.
    The web site that I'm trying to access
    There might be a work around for you since it's just the one site.
    Go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Enable the Develop menu.
    Now click Develop from the Safari menu bar then click User Agent > IE 9, 8, or 7

  • On Mac OS X snow leopard, when I quit firefox 4, all the app tabs I set up get deleted. Is that suppose to happen? on your website it says that when you close firefox and reload the browser the app tabs should be there on start up?

    When I close the firefox browser but I do not quit the program entirely, the app tabs remain as I had originally set them up.
    But when I fully quit firefox. All the app tabs I set up are gone and I have to set them up all over again every time.

    Here's what happened in safe boot mode.
    I click on apple logo > software update > see's that Super Drive 3.0 is checked > click install
    I wait for the install to go through.
    First pop up says " There was a problem installing this update" Quit all apps before installing bla bla bla... I noticed a sound when this pop up appeared. It's the sound of when you restart the macbok. There is another popup behind this saying that software update has been sucessfully installed.
    So what I did first was click "quit" on the popup saying "There was a problem installing this update".
    then I clicked "ok" where it said that the software installation update was successfully installed.
    I get another pop up which is the Software Update window. I let it look for any updates and it then says that my software is up to date. I noticed that Super Drive 3.0 is listed and cannot be checked [x]. There's a Check mark with a green circle around it.
    I quit the software update window and click on apple logo > software update and let it do its thing. Next thing you know, It says that Super Drive 3.0 needs to be updated. I also checked the SERIAL ATA and still shows rev. CP06.
    I just recently installed this mac os X so there is no "important" data on this laptop. I don't have any money for OS Lion or Mavrick nor meet the system req to run it. 2gb to 4gb is expensive for a ddr2 800 200 pin ram

  • Firefox is showing malicious activity when I log into our webmail on cox and Earthlink. Why? When I run my Security program it shows no threats.

    This happens when we use Firefox. It does not happen on Google Chrome.
    Why am I being blocked on Firefox. What can I do?
    My Security Software says that their are no threats.

    I noticed you have a Webroot filtering extension. Can you tell whether the warning is coming from that extension, or from Firefox itself? It would be helpful if you could post the specific wording of the message, or a screen shot showing it. This article has tips on screen shots: [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
    To test how Firefox handles the site without the extension active, you could manually disable it on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. You may need to restart Firefox in order for the change to take effect. You may need to use History > Restore Previous Session after that to get back to where you were.
