Why can't I use firefox as my browser on my iPad

Why can't I use firefox as my browser on my iPad also why can't I access adobe flash

Flash is not supported on any iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Apps such as Skyfire claim to support flash, but their reviews are mixed.
In terms of Firefox, you can only install apps (i.e. programs) that are available in the iTunes App Store, not normal PC or Mac software - the iPad runs iOS, not OS or Windows. If the makers of Firefox havn't created an iOS version of it then you cannot run it.
Edit : some websites (especially news sites) have their own apps in the App Store

Why can I not use multi-touch gestures on my original iPad with iOS 5?

Why can I not use multi-touch gestures on my original iPad with iOS 5?

It would appear that apple has managed to p1ss off alot of ipad one users in one fowl swoop, what makes it worse is that fact we were the early adoptors who got asked, why do you want a big iphone for? and then spent time showing people how good it was! actually promoting it for apple! and then to get this kick in the teeth is frustrating! i wish i had known about xcode before!
however!
keep sending feedback, i must have sent twenty yesterday and will keep sending them untill i get a reply from these idiots! and wont stop untill i do, the more feedback sheets we fill in the more they will have to listen, it takes less than a min, i just asking the same question! moaning on here wont do anything, feedback might
also note they have changed the website now, but they have not changed the iOS5 spash screen :
(•          AirPlay Mirroring for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S
          •          Multitasking Gestures for iPad
          ◦          Use four or five fingers to pinch to the Home Screen
          ◦          Swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar
          ◦          Swipe left or right to switch between apps)
clearly they were planning on releasing this update to us, otherwise on the spalsh screen it would have stated ipad 2 only, note in the sentence above it states it CLEARLY makes a reference to ipad 2 for airplay, so, whatever the problem, they can fix it and they know it works!

Why does my apply laptop shut off Safari when I try to watch videos online? Also why can't I use Firefox with this(I used to)

Why does ma older apple laptop cancel Safari when I a m watching videos online? Also,I used to be able to run Firefox but now message states "can't use with this operating system"?

You can't use Firefox, because your operating system, OS X, is a version 10.4 or earlier.
Firefox "upgraded" its Mac compatible version, so that it will only operate with OS 10.6 or later.
Your Safari also might quit, because it too has an upgraded version with greater stability geared toward 10.4 and later. Perhaps you are using system 10.3 or earlier.
It is also possible that Safari quits, because the video sites you watch have changed to be compatible with newer browser versions with later Flash Player compatibility, like Adobe.
It is difficult to find browser compatibility or stability for earlier than 10.4.
What the above post is showing is in the drop down menu in the upper left of your screen. Click on the blue Apple for its drop down menu. Click on the first in the list, About This Mac. That's where you'll see the version as shown in the previous post.
If you upgraded your Safari, even that could be a problem, because it might not work as well with your older operating system. I haven't tried the following link, but it offers the Safari versions that fit each system. You can try downloading the one that matches yours. If that doesn't work, you can always upgrade again.

Why can't i use firefox on my mac

Microsoft protection say i need a code, but they want to send it to an email address that's obsolete. When I try to use my present one (which they have had in the past) i can't go any further.
I need to get into firefox so i can edit my webpage. I don't want to sinc it with my phone

Hi patriciastoj,
You can add these to the exclusion list in Microsoft's Protection, but I was not aware this could be installed on a Mac?
*C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla/Firefox for 64 bit systems
*C:/Program Files/Mozilla/Firefox for 32 bit systems

I am having trouible with Pogo/Java. I was able to play games but now it says I have a problem. I can use Internet Explorer but it is so slow. Why can't I use Firefox anymore.

When I log into Pogo it will not let me play on-line games. Oops, something is not right...
Java Not Found or Not Working
Explanation:
This error means Java (one of the technologies built into most browsers) is not working correctly on your browser.
You must have Java installed on your computer in order to run Pogo games, and it must be functioning properly. Either you don't have Java installed yet, or the Web browser you're currently using doesn't support Java or you have Java (or Javascript) disabled in your browser.
How to Fix the Problem:
Java is a free download that is required to play Pogo games. Not all computers come with Java pre-installed.
If you haven't played Pogo games before and are getting this error, you probably just need to install Java on your computer.
For instructions on installing Java for your operating system and browser click here.
If you believe Java might be installed but disabled for your browser, please be sure to enable the plugin for your browser. If you need help, click here.
If you already have Java installed and it is not disabled, your Java may be out-of-date or is no longer working. In that case, your Java might need to be upgraded or reinstalled. If you need help, click here.
I have done what they say but I still cannot get on-line like I was able to about a week ago.
Do you have any suggestions?

This has been fixed in Firefox 3.6.15, use the "Check for updates" option in the Help menu to install it.

Why can't I use Firefox 5 with my Devry on line classes?

When I sign in it come to a scream that said I should use 4.0 instead of 5.0? It also said that some of my programs won't work?

iTech, First change your apple password, than go to 'setting' and than click on 'Facetime' and make sure your facetime email is right than retry. Also calling apple support can help you or the best way is to go down to the apple store for direct help. I really hope that what i have told you have helped and try to reset your iphone.

Why can't i use the older googlemail address on my ipad 2

Using an Ipad 2, I can't seem to get access to my googlemail address? All I get is a page asking me to upgrade to Gmail and change all my settings. Is this a technical problem or is it just because Google and Apple don't get along with each other?

You need to use the iTunes backup you made on your old computer and restore it to the new one.

Why can't I use services like Instant messanging with my IPAD and I can on my MAC?

With my IPAD I cannot use IM or view certain videos , but with my MAC desk top I can, what software can I add to my IPAD to allow the same functionality as my mac

You can IM on the iPad, if you look in the AppStore Yahoo has an app and so does AIM.
What kind of videos are you wanting to watch? Are they divx/Xvid, .h264 etc? The iPad reads MP4 video format so searching Google for Convert X(X being the video type) to MP4

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.

Why can't I use adobe flash player to open attachments

Why can't I use adobe to open attachments - have downloaded latest version but still get a black page

You're probably using IE11. This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser, at least until Microsoft gets their act together and fixes IE..
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Why can't I use Roboform with the new version?

You keep asking me to upgrade to the new firefox, but it does not use Roboform. Why can't I use roboform? Without Roboform, I can't use Firefox!

Firefox says to update to 6.0 but roboform will not work. Should I update to firefox 6.0 or not?
