Why is installing firefox easy on windows or Mac, but a nightmare on Linux?

When I try to run Firefox 5.0 on Linux, I get:
./firefox-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by /tmp/firefox/libxul.so)

== This happened ==
Just once or twice

It turns out that the problem had to do with network accounts, even though it was not clear at first. Redirecting the program to the local machine's cache with a network home redirector script fixed the issue. Thanks anyway.

How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

As long as your license supports both platforms you should only have to download the Mac version and install/activate using your serial number. If you need help finding a link to download the file, please indicate the PSE version you need.

I installed Acrobat XI pro on a Mac but it only shows the features of acrobat reader - how do I activate the pro features?

How do I get Acrobat XI pro on a Mac to work fully, and not just act like Acrobat Reader. i just paid and downloaded it, entered new serial number when requested, but when I open a .pdf I have no pro features showing (such as editing tools, convert to powerpoint, etc). I use XI pro on a windows PC and have no problem there.

Perfect answer. And I feel a bit dumb (should have worked it out, but still finding my way round the Mac). Many thansk for the help.

How to install firefox on a windows 8.1 tablet

! have a new Dell venue 8 Pro tablet running Windows 8.1. How do I install firefox on it?

Save the installer to your desktop, then launch it.
* [[How to download and install Firefox on Windows]]
If the installation progress stalls, try the offline installer instead. Actually, if you don't have a copy of Firefox installed, best to just get the offline installer from the start.

Installing Firefox 31 in Windows 8.1 just gives a blank screen and 'not responding' error

Firefox 31 was installed and running perfectly on my Asus laptop under win 8.1, until this morning. I opened the browser and just got a blank, white screen. Task manager showed Firefox as 'not responding'. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice, as administrator, trying 'reset Firefox' the second time. No change. I downloaded Firefox 29 and could install that. It opens but freezes and stops responding as soon as I enter a web address. I'm puzzled as Firefox was working perfectly until this morning. Has anybody come across the same problem and, better yet, found a solution?

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
and what it does. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder
'''Linux:'''
* [http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/see_all_your_installed_applications_ubuntu_unity Ubuntu Unity]''' {web link}
* Xfce: Applications Menu category sections
* options depends on the package manager and the desktop environment
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

When installing Firefox 35 into Windows 7 running inside VMware Fusion on a Mac, into which folder should I put the downloaded Firefox installer file?

Inside Windows I see a folder called PROGRAM FILES and another one called PROGRAM FILES (X86). Is either of these the correct one to put the Firefox installer program into before I launch the installer? There is also a folder called WINDOWS. Sorry for such an elementary question but I've never been a Windows user; just Macs so far until now. My intention is to download the Windows version of Firefox using a browser on the Mac side of the computer since I have working browsers there. Then I would copy the ".exe" file to whichever Windows folder is correct. Am I on the right track or am I courting disaster?
Also, will there be a preference inside Firefox to make it the default browser in the Windows environment? I'd like to avoid using Internet Explorer.
( I'm writing this from the Firefox browser, v. 28.0 in the Mac OS (10.6.8). I didn't click the "Automatically Add" button for submitting troubleshooting information because I'm not asking about the browser in the Mac OS environment.)
Thank you.

The full Windows install file from for instance https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ is an executable dot.exe file.
It will run from anywhere the user has the correct permissions, incluing the desktop or the downloads folder. It will offer standard or custom installs, usually opt for the standard install and the necessary flies and folders will be created.
* [[How to download and install Firefox on Windows]]
Setting Firefox as the default browser may be done from an option as Firefox starts after installation

After updating to Firefox 3.6.15, Firefox will not connect to the Internet, even after uninstalling and re-installing Firefox in my Windows XP environment.

After downloading the Firefox 3.6.15 update, my problems began. Firefox would not connect to the Internet. When I rebooted my PC, Firefox said that it couldn't access any Web sites. I uninstalled Firefox, then downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.15. I still have the same problem: Firefox will not connect to the Internet. I am running Windows XP, service pack 3. I never had problems with Firefox until I installed version 3.6.15.

I have XP Pro. I tried installing 3.6.15 and could not open it. I did a system restore and 3.6.14 would no longer open. I tried again installing 3.6.15 and got a message that the previous version had not uninstalled properly. Tried uninstalling.
As a precaution I used MozBackup to save my bookmarks etc. and also saved a system restore point.
I then clicked Start, My Computer, drive C, Program Files and deleted the Firefox folder.
I installed 3.6.15 and it is now working fine with all my bookmarks and addons loaded automatically.

Trying to install firefox on my windows computer, it says need to completely uninstall previous firefox. needs to restart. when cimputer comes back on firefox not installed.

Try to install FireFox computer says needs to reboot to uninstall deleted FireFox , when computer restart no install.

Had the same drama with Windows 7 64 bit this is what I was told to do and it worked for me!!
Close all applications and reboot the computer.
Delete any downloaded or partially downloaded installer files.
Clear the browser cache (of whatever browser you are using to download FF) and the Windows Temp directory.
Delete the directory C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
Shutdown any anti-virus software you are running.
Download a new copy of the full installer from www.mozilla.com
Run the installer.
Restart the anti-virus program.

I'm unable to install Firefox onto my Windows Vista computer because when I download the .exe file, it doesn't show up anywhere on my computer.

I click on the download button on the Firefox website and it processes as if it is downloading. Once it is finished processing, I'm unable to find the file to install it with the install wizard. I tried it by both running and saving the file. In both cases, the file just vanishes.

Why cant install SB Audigy in Windows XP?

Sorry for posting again this matter. Just i still cannot install my Sound Card (SC) Audigy Platinum in Windows (even XP or Vista) anymore. The problem is, one day I installed a new LAN card, after rebooting my computer, the SC Audigy stop working. Then I try to install the drivers (from original CD) again, a message like this "...Cannot find any Sound Blaster products in your computer, pls make sure it is plugged in already..." appear, the result is that i cannot install the drivers (even Windows can detect my SC as a new unknown multimedia device). Afterall, i try to remove all other PCI cards (LAN card, firewire card because i worry that some conflict in IRQ occured) and install a new fresh Windows Xp, but the result also same, the message appear again. But one strange thing is, if I manually instruct Windows to install drivers by show it the \CD\Driver folder in the original CD drivers, then it works but the sound quality is very bad and cannot use EAX also remote control also. Pls help me with this problem. Thanks a lot!

Did your friend install on W2003 or upgrade from an older version of the OS?
When trying to run programs on an OS that is not certified for the programs, it is hit-n-miss whether the OS actually has the support files needed for the programs.
Think about this: the Oracle environment needs OS support in the form of DLLs and other files. The contents of the DLLs are made visible as APIs. Each time Microsoft releases patches, it is possible that the APIs that Oracle used are changed. This is extremely true when a new version of the OS is released, and even more true with stripped versions such as XP Home.
If your friend installed and then applied patches, [s]he may have hit the proper API combination. If you appled patches first, you may have skootched your APIs to the point that Oracle can not longer install.
Even if you happen to get it installed, you run the risk of getting clobbered any time you install a new Microsoft patch. The risk is minimized when you use a certified combination of the OS and application.

After installing Firefox 4 the window minimizes at random, how do I fix this?

The title pretty much sums it up.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

I did instal Firefox 4 to my G5 Mac and can not use it, how do I remove it, deinstall it.

I downloaded Firefox 4 to my G5 Mac, 1.8 GHz PowerPC, Mac Version 10.5.8, cannot use it. Want to know how do I deinstall it. I have the Firefox 2CD, can I use this to deinstall.
Thank you, Georgia Simms

Unfortunately, Firefox 4 supports only Mac OS X 10.5 and above on Intel hardware. The system that you are currently using is no longer supported by Firefox (details can be found [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html here)].
 You can revert back to previous version of Firefox by following these steps:
# Open the Applications folder.
# Drag the Firefox application to the Trash.
# Download and install Firefox 3.6 from [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html here].

Why won't Firefox 3.6.17 on Mac load certain web pages but will load others?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.17 on Mac (10.4.11), can anyone explain why I cannot access Yahoo, Google, Cnn, Bing, but can access other sites? Those web pages starts to load, then display (Untitled) in tab with a blank page. I have cleared everything in my cache and cookies and reinstalled Firefox and nothing helps. This problem started a few days ago and previously there was no problem and I didn't make any changes to Firefox. Thanks for the help.

Found a solution to the problem. The permissions for the firefox.app file were not set to admin - read-write. After adding this permission using the get info menu item when right clicking the file name in the applications folder, the tab now automatically opens when clicking on Email link.

Can I have my registered CS6 software installed on both a windows and mac simultaneously?

How many computers can I have my registered CS6 software simultaneously installed on? If it is just one computer and I wish to install it on another one, I assume I need to uninstall on the original first and simply repeat the installation process?
One more question: Since the software came with two installation discs, (windows and mac), does that mean I can simultaneously use the software on a windows computer and mac computer?
Thank you.

Not sure what you are saying. You can install and activate on 2 systems, but generally standalone installs have platform-specific serials and can only be installed eitehr on Windows or Mac, not both. However, your description seems to indicate a TLP volume license, so that would be possible.
