Why does my windows phone say it is unable to download file type when trying to install firefox browser?

I have no restrictions on phone. I tried to be safe and use security features like... Safe search,cookie block and such. However it keeps saying unable to download file type when I try and install any of the up to date browsers. This is interesting to say the least. Because my browser is already using the most up to date version. I have internet explorer using a windows 8 nokia

hello, the mobile version of firefox isn't available on the windows phone platform: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/will-firefox-work-my-mobile-device#w_other-operating-systems|Will Firefox work on my mobile device?]
there have been technical and legal hurdles in the app store originally which discouraged mozilla from starting any developments in this direction. i don't know about the current situation, but since mozilla is now focusing its energies on creating firefox os as open source web-based platform, i doubt that you will see firefox on your windows phone device in the foreseeable future...

  • HT201413 I purchased an album online with my ipad2 directly from the artists website.  I received an email containing the link to allow me to download it.  I tapped on the link and the MSG came up saying Safari is unable to download file.  Any ideas?

    I purchased an album online with my ipad2 directly from the artists website.  I received an email containing the link to allow me to download it.  I tapped on the link and the MSG came up saying Safari is unable to download file.  I have downloaded apps before with no problems.  This is the first music download I have purchased on my ipad2.  Maybe it has something to do with the security on the email I received from the artist containing the download.  I have the latest iTunes OS and apple iPad 2. O.S.  Any ideas on what to do?

    You can't download music via Safari on the iPad - you will need to download it on your computer, add it to your computer's iTunes, and then sync it to the iPad.

    Hey there Frank0619,
    If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
    Issues installing iTunes for Windows
    These in particular: 
    Make sure you have an administrator account.
    To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
    To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Download the latest version of iTunes.
    The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    Disable conflicting software.
    Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig: 
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
    Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
    Restart your computer.
    Install iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • When trying to install Firefox in my laptop (Win 7) I recieve a message that says File is corrupt and I cant install it

    I have a Samsung laptop with Windows 7. I tried to install Firefox several times and every time keeps coming this message "File is corrupt", not letting me open it.
    Plus, I have the Norton antivirus and I don´t know if this is a problem caused by Windows version or the antivirus program.

    First repair permissions and restart your computer.  Reinstall the latest version of flash player.  Again repair permissions and restart your computer.

  • Why does my App Store say all my apps are up to date when they're really not?

    I'm in the process of updating my iPod touch 5G to iOS7, and before I do so, I would like to update all my apps to their current versions. However, no updates are showing in the App Store; it says they are all up-to-date when they really aren't. I had about 13 apps to be updated. Is this a glitch as a result of the Apple Store being increasingly optimized for iOS7? I haven't even updated to iOS7 yet; I'm still running 6.1.3. I can manually search for some of my apps in the App Store and update them way, but that's too much of an convenience. I'd like them all to be in the Updates section. Can someone help me out with this?

    Mine was doing the same thing, open the store and go to updates and the screen will then refresh and tell you Itunes terms of service have changed.  You'll have to agree to the new 54 pages of terms to get any updates

  • Why does MScomctl.o​cx throw a server exception in my LabVIEW executable when trying to set the ImageList?

    I am using the Microsoft Toolbar Control 6.0 (SP4) toolbar to display 32x32 pixel buttons.
    In development, this toolbar works flawlessly. Once the program is compiled, however, the function iToolbar: ImageList(putRef) sometimes gives the error "Error -2147417851 occurred at The server threw an exception. "
    This error does not alway happen, and when it doesn't happen, everything works normally.
    Anyone have an idea why this error is being generated?

    I managed to strip away my entire application and limit the problem to just the toolbar and images. Please see file included.
    If you want to play with it, you will have to make a build script. Your system will need to have activex components installed.
    Mscomctl.ocx is required.
    As I said above, this code fragment works ok in LabVIEW development mode, but occasionally fails when built into an executable. When it fails, it seems to fail many times in a row. It doesn't seem to be a timing problem because there is only one thread.
    Has anyone else out there had this problem and found a solution?

  • When trying to install firefox the program does not accept my administrator password but I know I am using the correct password.

    Firefox's installer program does not accept my administrator password. The program won't load. I tried it with version 8 several times a couple weeks ago. Now I just tried it with version 9 a couple times. No luck.
    I have been using Firefox as my default browser for may years and would like to continue using it.
    thanks

  • I get a message when trying to install firefox 3.6.10 that says "your computer must be restarted to complete a previous uninstall of Firefox." I have rebooted repeatedly, but still get this message. How can I get past this?

    I attempted to do the update on Firefox 3.6.9 and it said that it could not update because Firefox was still running even though it did not appear in the list of processes in the task manager. I decided to reinstall Firefox and the above message now is displayed each time I restart my computer and attempt to install Firefox 3.6.10.

    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xuab2q88.default is the location of the cache folder for your default profile. If the updates folder isn't there then it looks that Firefox hasn't downloaded an update.
    You can download the full version from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    Delete the Firefox program folder: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    That will remove all Firefox program files in case some are locked or protected by security software.<br />
    That should allow you to install a full version of Firefox 3.6.10
    Your Firefox profile data is stored elsewhere and won't be affected.
