Why will Firefox not download on my computer?

I have Windows, and have clicked the Firefox download button SEVERAL times....then I will click Run. It loads its 60 second thing and then nothing happens after that. I have gone to the support forums and tried all the other websites (ninite etc.) and suggestions for that and nothing works. Please help!

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Why will audiobooks not download automatically to other devices?
I always have to connect to home computer and sync!

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download so they are not included in the automatic downloads. You will need to sync them to get them onto other devices/computers

Why will firefox not start on my laptop? can't uninstall or open the profile manager either. it simply does not run. it used to work fine until i had to restore my system.

had firefox 4.0 & have been a user of firefox for a few years now. never had any problems. had to do a system restore after my computer detected a virus of some sort & i couldn't do anything. the virus kept popping up a bogus add for me to buy an antivirus program. had to restart laptop in safemode to initiate the restore. ever since then firefox has not opened. can't even uninstall it or open the profile manager. anything that has to do with firefox will simply not run/open at all. i'm stumped.

System restore can cause problems as well as solve them, it has probably completely mucked up your Firefox installation.
Try deleting your Firefox installation directory, the default location on 32 bit Windows is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
Now re-install Firefox, it should pick up your current profile folder so you should not lose your bookmarks, passwords etc.

Does Firefox not start in Safe Mode?
* Click the Windows logo orb on the taskbar to bring up the Start Menu.
* In the search box, type firefox.exe -safe-mode and press Enter.
* If the little Firefox Safe Mode window pops up, click the Start in Safe Mode button.
* For more details, see [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If Firefox doesn't start in Safe Mode, does the profile manager start? If yes, create a new profile and try starting Firefox in that profile.
[[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

Why will FireFox not work on my system? (Windows 7) Help.

This is the error message I receive when attempting to open FireFox
"Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
I do not like using any of the "Brand-X" browsers and I wish to have FireFox working again. My operating system is Windows 7.
Please help. I do not know what to do.
Thank you,

Could you try starting Firefox in the Profile Manager and create a new profile? Here are the steps:
Start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
This should display a dialog. Normally, at least one existing profile is listed, but it sounds as though yours will be empty.
Click the Create Profile button and choose any name you like for the profile. Skip the option to customize the folder location and save your new profile. Then select it in the box and start Firefox in that new profile.
Does it run?

Why will firefox not allow me to change the home page

I am running firefox on vista laptop and since one of the upgrades of firefox I have now a automatic homepage of http://www.searchqu.com/406. I have tried to change it several times to various pages and it does not hold the address, not even a blank one. This happens even if I only close the browser for a split second. Can I please get some advise on this matter.
Many Thanks
Simon Donnelly

Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.
* Preferences that have been modified are shown as '''bold (user set)'''.
* Preferences can be '''Reset to the default''' or changed via the right-click context menu.
-> In the '''Filter bar''', type '''searchqu'''
* This will show all '''searchqu''' related preferences.
* '''Reset''' all '''searchqu''' related Preferences to their Default values (right-click a preference and click '''Reset''')
-> Close the '''about:config''' tab and then Restart Firefox.
Check and tell if its working.

Why will iTunes not work on my computer?

I cannot get iTunes to work on my desktop computer. I had a crash some time ago and think it may have to do with a missing driver. I hope someone can help me with this problem. I can access iTunes on my laptop but it is not convenient.

What computer is it?
Have you tried to fully uninstall the program and reinstall it?
If it is Windows Based, try these articles to uninstall,

Why will Firefox not open links on website I create with Dreamweaver?

When i create a link to another web page, I cannot open the link in Firefox. I can in IE, but not in Firefox. I am working in Dreamweaver CS6

Such code should be working.
Do you see the correct URL popping up at the bottom of the screen when you hover such a link.
If that isn't the case then right-click the link and use Inspect Element to check what Firefox sees at that position.

Why will Firefox not open Windows Live when Internet Explorer will?

As above

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Why will Firefox NOT play videos, yet IE will??

If I can't find help here for Firefox, where can I?

When you load a web page with a clip / video / audio, what happens?
Does the page load? Is the area for the player created? Does anything
happen in the player? Is this one site or everywhere?
PS, you have the latest Shockwave player.
With the last Firefox upgrade, some plugins are no longer
enabled until you enable it.
Type '''about:addons'''<Enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
On the left side of the page, select '''Plugins.'''
Go thru the list and set each to '''Ask To Activate'''
BTW; At the top right is a link to check your plugins.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

Adobe Edge will not download to a computer running XP

Adobe Edge will not download to a computer running XP in case anyone is wondering.
I just spent a frustrating hour finding this out the hard way.
I do wish my cloud home page announced that face in big writing just above the Edge products that I could see from my XP computer.
I have put this into this forum, as a search on Adobe Edge will not download on Adobe forums during that frustrating hour produced nil results.
Sigh......

Whenever you looking for a specific app and if it's not listed on the CC Apps page, you should immediately route your thoughts to "may be it's not supported on the OS configuration" and to confirm that you are always welcome to review the tech specs page for each product (categorized separately for each product), quoted down below the CC Apps page (I agree if "Tech Specs" link can move up the page that will be helpful, Good and valid input for CC Page design)
Must seem like such a natural train of thought to an Adobe employee. But it's not how non-tech people think.
Unfortunately this post betrays the fact that Adobe does not understand how many of its customers, especially newbies, work in these situations.
No-one goes to a download link, fails to find it and 'immediately route your thoughts to "may be it's not supported on the OS configuration"'.
Hiding the download icons (for whatever "valid" technical reasons) simply wastes the user's time and starts a guessing game which creates confusion, frustration and anger.
The first thought is usually confusion, followed by wild guesses along the lines of:
Perhaps the website is broken or buggy
Perhaps my browser is broken or buggy
Perhaps my computer is broken or buggy
Perhaps I have done something wrong and must reinstall my software and/or operating system
All very unnecessary.
Confused, they then post in the forum.
Take a look throughout the forums to see this sentiment time and again.
Add a note to the Cloud homepage for non-geeks who don't think technically.
It's not that difficult.
