Why can't I successfully download and install Firefox?

After unsuccessfully trying to remedy Firefox hanging every time I opened it, I uninstalled it and tried re-installing the latest version. This has been another disaster as the first couple of tries I could not even get the download to start. Once downloaded, I started on the install only to have a box appear with a message that Firefox couldn't find the required file (without specifying the file's name) and then it appeared to quit. I've similarly been unable to download a British English version from the Mozilla download site since. While I find Mozilla/Firefox files on searching my hard disk, I have no means of installing.

Then you may have an unstable Internet connection.  It takes me less than 1 second to download the complete installer, and I am about 10,000km away from the Adobe download servers.
Try downloading it somewhere with a better connection, e.g. a library, then transfer it using a flash drive.

  • Can i use this download and install on multiple computers?

    Can i use this download and install on multiple computers?

    I assume you're talking about the Lion installer?  If so, yes, you're allowed to use it on any machines authorized with your Apple ID (which I believe means a maximum of five machines).  This is, of course, meant for family use...  I'm not sure about business use, but I'd suspect you need one copy per machine at a business.  If you're in that situation, you may want to wait for the $69 Lion flash drive Apple will be releasing next month sometime, as that won't be tied to an Apple ID.  But check with Apple to be sure on that.

  • Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud.

    Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud and never will be able to.

    That is true - I apologize for not being specific - what I was mainly referring to is iLife applications. I have a notice on the App Store that says 3 apps need updates, I look at the apps and they are huge so since my connection is so slow I use my work connection and d'load the files from support to my Windows machine and carry them home, once d'loaded my MacAir states it cannot install, the update must come from the App Store.
    I do the same thing for large Leopard and Lion files and I can install them without error, it is just the App Store files that the system stops.

  • Downloaded and installed Firefox Sync, restarted and now can't find it.

    Downloaded and installed Firefox Sync on XP SP-3 computer. Restarted Firefox as instructed. Can't find Firefox Sync. Nothing popped up on restart as instructions stated.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After Firefox Sync downloaded

    After a bit more pecking around on the phone I found it under the personalize, View all HTC widgets screen.
    Thanks though for the quick response and pointing me in the right direction.

    Why do i need to download and install a huge piece of software just to purchase a gift for someone?  It seems like very bad business practice to me!

    Stores only have gift cards, and because I live in a different country to the person I want to send one to, that isn't practical.  Installing itunes, seems excessive, especially as I would first have to install wine on linux, just to buy a gift for someone.

  • I need to download and install firefox to my D drive. How do i do this as i'm not given a choice?

    i am out of space on my C drive causing me to run disk cleanup several times a day and then can only gain right at 200MB. I need to download and install a fresh copy to my D drive but i am not given an option on where to download or install to. How do I download and install Firefox to drive D?

    You need both SP1 and SP2 to be able to run Firefox. <br />
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/system-requirements/ <br />
    And getting rid of SP3 probably isn't wise from a security standpoint.
    Have you looked through your "data" to see what '''''can''''' be moved over to the D:/ drive? Also you should consider moving the Windows TEMP files over to the D:/ drive.
    Also, with WinXP it is a good idea having at least 15% of each logical drive "free" so that the Defrag service can be run; TEMP files cause the most fragmentation on the drive.

  • How do I download and install Firefox 6 instead of the latest version (I'm currently running 3.6.23)?

    I don't want to update to the very latest version of Firefox because I'm using a Learning Management System for my online master's program that doesn't currently ensure compatibility with the latest version of Firefox. It only ensures compatibility up to Firefox 6 right now. How do I download and install Firefox 6 instead of the latest version? I'm currently running Firefox 3.6.23.

    Firefox 6 is no longer supported and the usage of such versions that have known security vulnerabilities is not recommended.
    You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

  • Have an imac with snow leopard and Firefox 3.6.13. On a prompt downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.16. Firefox opening Screen still shows 3.6.13. Have done this twice with the same result. Any help?

    Imac, processor Intel core i3, Mac OS X version 3.6.6.
    On opening Firefox 3.6.13 firefox screen suggests downloading latest version. Have downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.15 (sorry typing error in previous entry). On opening Firefox, screen still shows 3.6.13 as the operating version although "Get info" shows that updating has been done. Thinking I may have made a mistake I have done this twice with the same result. The screen is still telling me to update.
    Not really a problem using Firefox but I would like to know which version I am using.

    Your user agent in the More system details list shows that you have the Firefox 3.6.15 version
    *Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Firefox/3.6.15
    Where do you see "3.6.13" ?
