When I try to download Firefox for Windows, it unzips the file and says it cannot find 7-Zip file and stops download

I have windows 7 on a desktop. I had firefox before which worked fine then I attached a router to my computer that may have been defective and may have damaged the computer. I took the router off. Firefox suddenly reverted back to the start up page of when you are new to firefox, e.g. here's how it works, and stopped loading my normal home page. Even though I entered the tabs I wanted for my startup home page every time I shut down my computer it went back to the beginning thinking I had only just loaded it. I did lots of system diagnostics but nothing appeared to be wrong with my computer so I uninstalled Firefox, restarted, then downloaded it again. When I download it, it says run or save and I choose run. Then it extracts the file and a message comes up that says "7-Zip. Cannot find file. Then nothing more happens. No files are downloaded to my computer and it's as though I never tried to download it.

SAVE the installer to your hard drive (do not use the "Run" option); save it to your Desktop so that you can find it. When the download is complete, close whatever browser you have open, click or double-click the file you downloaded and see if it installs without a problem.
The downloader is a self-extracting archive and should not need or use 7-zip. I have 7-zip installed on my system and it does not interfere with nor is it used in the Firefox install process. Hopefully, you have not set the downloading of .exe files to be associated with 7-zip.

  • HT1926 when i try to install Itunes for windows I get a message that says the older version of Apple Application Support cannot be removed contact technical support group.

    I also get a message that says the Apple Mobile Device Support cannot be removed.
    then Itunes ends the installation due to errors.
    These two files show up in the control panel and when I try to delete them it says they are on a network resource that is unavailable.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Application Support entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, and Restart the PC. Try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Thunderbird stopped downloading emails from the web server and now when I try to add a new account I get a message to say it cannot find the email server.

    Thunderbird was working and then for no reason it stopped downloading emails from the web server. I can access my emails in the web server okay. I have tried to remove my account and then add it again as a new account but I get a message saying that Thunderbird cannot find the email server. I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird but with the same result. I have also tried to remove the default mail server but have been unable to do so. How can I fix this?

    I figured out a workaround.... Since I can get e-mails to populate via iSync and my other computer is running Leopard (it's a powerpc chip and can't run Snow Leopard), I added the account on the other computer and got the new account to populate into my SL machine with iSync. I don't like that I can't actually add the account directly, but at least this got me working.

    Hi annarepublic78,
    As per the above mentioned error, your Win CS6 download was not complete, either it was in process or was interrupted. This is the only reason you see the MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.7z.crdownload. Here .crdownload means the download is in process.
    Please try to download it again on the Desktop and please make sure that the download completes successfully(without the .crdownload extension).

  • When I try to load firefox it only shows in the bar at the bottom of the screen. I can highlight it but when I click on it, it just returns to the bar.

    When I try to load firefox it only shows in the bar at the bottom of the screen. I can highlight it but when I click on it, it just returns to the bar. Can't get it to maximize. Please help.

    The "System Tray" is located at the very bottom right of your screen and is a list of most/all running applications that will show in this list.
    For your SysFader issue, this "may" be the problem:
    1 Find the "My Computer" desktop icon and right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Properties."
    2 Click on the "Advanced" tab. This will load a new page of options.
    3 Select the "Visual Effects" tab at the top of the window and deselect "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing," "Fade or slide menus into view," "Fade or slide Tool Tips into view" and "Fade out Menu items after checking."
    4 Click "OK." This will remove most if not all of the Sysfader effects, at the same time correcting related errors that used to come up during opening a new file or program.

  • Successfully installed Firefox on my new laptop, transferred folders etc. I cannot find a British English dictionary to download to version 31.1.

    Successfully installed Firefox on my new laptop, transferred folders etc. I cannot find a British English dictionary to download to version 31.1., running on Windows 8. help, plese.

    <blockquote>
    First of all, you're using Firefox 34.0.5 as your details say.
    This addon called "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary-/?src=search British English Dictionary]" is the most used addon currently.
    Reply if this doesn't help.
    </blockquote>
    Naeem, Thank you, point taken about the version number - I simply saw the download page state that each of the dictionaries I tried said "Not available for 31.1.0". What actually happens is that any of the dictionaries I download are not recognised by Thunderbird. The spell-check pane appears, but does not highlight any misspelt word nor give any suggested replacement. I have found a dictionary downloaded to "My documents/ Downloads" but when I double click it the system cannot open an "xpi" file. Is this because I do not have Windows XP but Windows8. I also checked the download site for "Other versions" which all say not suitable for my system
    ? I fearI am confused! PS the spell checking has just worked on this message!

  • Cannot see where or how to download Firefox for Windows

    I can see how to download Firefox for Mobile, but not for my Windows desktop machine. Am I missing something obvious???

    Please try this page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/
    and this is the direct link: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-7.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US

  • When I try to update to Itunes 11 I get an error message saying that Itunes has an invalid signature and wont be installed. I use Windows 7.

    Everytime I try to update to Itunes 11 I get an error message saying that Itunes has an invalid signature and can't be installed?  I have tried to install it two times and get the same message each time. Any solutions to my problem?? Those who have installed ITUNES 11 is it hard to work with? maybe im lucky it wont update?? I don't know.

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • I downloaded firefox for adroid tablet from the app store and all I get are horizontal lines on home page, no text. Should I uninstall it?

    Some sites work but home page is only streaks of color no text in the body of page. Address is ledgible and a few other items like icons.
    Should I uninstall and then reinstall?

    Hi oneLmicheLe,
    Thank you for your question, I understand that you have downloaded Firefox for Android and that there are some issues with the display.
    Yes, please reinstall Firefox for Android from the Google Play Store. Did this help?

  • For some unknown reason my app for Remote no longer works.  It says it cannot find my itunes.  I have tried to remove it and signed out and back in all that jazz but it didnt help.  Anyone else have a solution for this?  Thx.

    For some unknown reason my application "Remote" no longer works.  I deleted it from my phone.  Signed out of Itunes and back in.  Turned back on home sharing and all that jazz but it says it cannot find my itunes library.  Is anyone else having this problem and if so how did you fix it?  Thx.

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
    ~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

  • Where can I download firefox for windows whils using a linux CD?

    My current version of Firefox has become corrupt. When I try to download a new version with Internet Explorer or my current version of firefox it goes to 53% unpacked and then it comes up with file corrupt. I have had the same issue before and have solved it by using a linux CD to download a windows version and it unpacks and installs great. I now cannot find a place where I can specify which version I want and it insists on using the download for Linux which is useless for me.

    Thank you for your quick reply. I have downloaded it using UBUNTU Put it onto a different partician and have burnt it to a CD and installed it. Its now working perfectly.

  • When I try to open Firefox, a window opens that says Firefox has stopped working. The only thing that makes firefox works is Re-installing it, and it's only temporary, beacause as soon as I close the window, it stops working again.

    When I click on details, it says Problem Event Name is BEX. The window that pops up is the same that would show up if Firefox freezes.

    You can try opening the file "as a copy" from the open dialog. You can also try the blind export to .idml: Adobe Community: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.
    and there's a tool for Windows you can try, if you have access to a windows machine: INDDRecovery — a program for restoring corrupted InDesign documents
    After that, it's a question of how much money you want to throw at it. Markzware.com has a paid recovery service that will probably work.

  • When I try to open Firefox 4.0 I get an error message saying that it is not a valid Win32 Application. What do I do? I am using Windows XP Sp3

    I downloaded Firefox 4.o exe. When I tried to open it I got an error message stating that it was not a valid Win32 application. I am using windows XP SP3. How do I get it to open?

    [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] has steps that you can try. It sounds like you may have something that is hanging your browser on exit (probably an extension or a locked profile) and the steps on that page should help clear it up.
