Why can i not pull firefox up as my web browser

when i click the icon it want pull up and i just downloaded it

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8, for the simple reason it was
created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
current version for compatibility.

Why can't I install an app using my web browser?

Often I am at a computer where I can't install iTunes and I want to install an app on my iPad which is at home. For my Android devices all I have to do is click a button on a web page to have it installed. Why can't I do this for my Apple devices? At the library, or a friends house, etc - I may find out about a cool new app I want to put on my device - why should I have to wait until I can go home to get my device, or go to a computer where I can install iTunes? Web browsers are available so many more places than iTunes. This sort of user-unfriendly-ness makes me want to move away from my Apple devices.

Apple does not allow that.

I have pinned Firefox 5.0 to my Windows 7 taskbar. Why can I not open Firefox from a "pinned" link?

I have Firefox 5.0 installed on Windows 7 Ultimate, and the Firefox 5.o icon pinned to the taskbar. With IE9, I can right click the icon, and any site that is in my "pinned" menu can open the browser. This doesn't work with Firefox 5.0. Why?

I would suggest using the Quick Launch instead with Firefox being one of the first so it shows on the task bar. No preloaded or anything just ready to use.

I think IE is a browser interface to Windows, Firefox is self-contained and runs on any system.

Why can i not fix firefox hanging and unresponsive using firefox troubleshooting methods

Hi
Every web page i open/use, Firefox hangs and becomes unresponsive. It does this 10 times or more while i am trying to browse. I have gone through every step in the troubleshooting issues one by one and several times. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times. I have checked CPU, RAM and every other three letters available.
It has hung, been unresponsive, and had white screen 15 times+ while i have been writing this.
I have had my computer taken away and looked at by computer techs, they say it is fine now. No viruses, relevant Malware and relevant security attached.
I use windows 7 premium. This has all just started in the past few months. Laptop is only 18 months old.

Have you tried to disable hardware acceleration?
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Why can I not install Firefox anymore using -ms?

I use to be able to install the downloaded versions of Mozilla Firefox using a simple switch on the command line. The switch was -ms. It worked great through, I think, version 24.0. No versions after that have worked. Is there a reason? It there an "easy" workaround? I've seen stuff that tells you create a config file and add it to the install. Surely there is an easier way? Anybody know something that will work? Appreciate any help with this.

Thank you so much!! This is exactly what I needed and is working.
Appreciate you taking the time to respond. :o)

Why can I not open yahoo or facebook in my browser but can open other

I can't open facebook or yahoo in my browser though, I can open other apps in my browser. why is this? HELP!

Try quitting the browser and restart it.
If that doesn't work, restart your computer. If it STILL doesn't work, download a different browser like mozilla or Chrome... or if you are using mozilla or chrome, try Safari

Why can I not use my Norton Toolbar... It is a very important item... If I can not run norton toolbar, then I do not want the new version of firefox.... How do I go back to my old version..

Question
Why can I not use my Norton Toolbar... It is a very important item... If I can not run norton toolbar, then I do not want the new version of firefox.... How do I go back to my old version..

Norton has had over 5 months to work in their Firefox extensions, since the API's were locked for 4.0. Ask Norton why they pull this crap every time Mozilla releases a new version of Firefox. When Firefox 3.6 was released mid-January 2010, it took Norton until almost April to come up with a working version of their Firefox extensions.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Why can I not get the normal firefox start page instead of the "yourall-in-one page I currently have

why can I not get the normal firefox start page I had with my old computer (operating XP) instead of the "your all-in-one page" I have now I have moved onto windows 7

I have looked as suggested under the Firefox tab but find the following listed as my homepage

Have I actually installed firefox program/start page or have installes something else?

Why can I NOT name a Reminder List the exact same thing as a Calendar?

Remember the good old days when ToDo Lists where automatically related to a specific calendar? I want that back. Why can I not name a Reminder List and a Calendar with identical titles? Why do I have to create a calendar named "Blue Project" and then create a Reminder List and name it "Blue Project 2" or some other iteration? This is totally asinine.

"You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29."
Precisely. How is "loss of functionality" progress or an upgrade? Why should I have to install an extension just to get a "reload" button? What a pile of crap. Why not have a "Use shit interface" tickbox in the Options dialogue so people can choose if they want their version of Firefox to have pants functionality?

Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page. (All the existing templates were 1 page)
But it worked, saving me some steps. When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
Then tried to save it but could not because it was locked. I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
to find it, it was not there. The Finder could not find it either.
So I start over again.
I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new
original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again. I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving. Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

Why can I not print to my HP CM1415fnw from my Mac, but I can from my PC?

Why can't I print from my Mac 10.6.8 to my newly purchased HP CM1415fnw (supposedly air print enabled) but I can print to it from my PC? I thought mac's we're supposed to be easier and this printer is not discoverable wirelessly on my mac or iPad/iPhone/Ipod, but it is from my PC? I can only print from the mac/iPad/iPhone/iPod to this printer IF the wired cable is installed. Seems like HP has the problem, but the mac can't even pull up the printer's web page unless there is a wired ethernet connection. Yes, it is working just fine wirelessly with my PC's on the network.

Go to the Apple contact page and the first section should say something like "To purchase by phone, please call..."
Call this number and order a Snow Leopard DVD.

replace the ?? with your country's address code, e.g. http://www.apple.com/uk/contact/
or if you are from America it's simply http://www.apple.com/contact/

Why can I not print anything from a web page?

Why can I not print anything from a web page?

Thank you, but I still haven't solved my problem. I tried the reset suggestion. But I cannot find print.print_printer preference. Maybe the word "printer" is to be replaced with the name of my printer. But because of the warning that making any changes is a very dangerous thing to do, I hesitated to do anything.
I have located the Print to file option, but it is not checked.
This problem did not exist before the Firefox update of about 6 months ago. Today I downloaded the latest Firefox update, hoping that would solve my problem, but it did not.
Thank you for your continued assistance.
