Why won't Firefox download?

Firefox would not search so I uninstalled. Now it will not download at all. Internet Explorer works. Firefox worked last night but would not work today.

Turns out my Norton firewall was preventing Firefox from loading. The firewall recognized the old Firefox. When the Firefox updated itself, the Norton firewall no longer recognized Firefox and blocked it. I had to allow the new version of Firefox. That simple.

  • Having done everything possible, why won't firefox download?

    Hi. I have a Dell Inspiron running on Windows 8 (not 8.1). When I get as far as the download page it simply won't download. Nothing freezes, it just won't download. I've gone via different support sites, run malware, turned off firewalls and antivirus, but nothing works. I downloaded it onto my pc (also running Windows 8) with no problem. Please can you help?
    Thanks, Andy

  • Why won't Firefox won't download?

    Why won't Firefox download? It completed the set up stage then stops.

    If downloads hang at the last minute (just before reaching 100%), the cause might be antivirus software which tries to scan the file and during that process hangs the Firefox instance.
    In order to fix the problem, try disabling the scanning as follows:
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page. A list of settings should appear
    # Filter the list by typing in the search bar at the top. Type in ''scanWhenDone''. '''You should now find the "browser.download.scanWhenDone" preference'''.
    #Double-click on that preference to set the value to ''false''.
    #Next, try to download something and see if it still hangs.
    Please reply and tell us whether this helped you!

  • I don't have a computer on which to convert a digital booklet in iTunes to a useable form for iBooks.  Why won't it download using the cloud like all the other media I purchase on my ipad?

    I don't have a computer on which to convert a digital booklet in iTunes to a useable form for iBooks.  Why won't it download using the cloud like all the other media I purchase on my ipad?

    LP content can only be downloaded on a computer's iTunes (or 1st gen Apple TV), you can't download them on an iOS device - and I haven't seen anything that say it will change in iOS 8. If you don't have a computer then at the moment you won't be able to download/view LP content
    About LP : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3823
    After you buy an album with iTunes LP on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, the album's songs will download directly to the device. The iTunes LP will download to iTunes on your computer when you choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.

  • HT201272 I typed in a digital copy code to get Rise of the Guardians on here because I bought the blu-ray, but the digital copy won't download no matter what I do. Why won't it download? Right now I am very angry for not getting the digital copy.

    I purchased Rise of the Guardians on blu-ray, I typd in the digital copy code that came in the case, the ituns extras downloaded, but no matter what I do, the digital copy of the actual movie won't download. Why won't it download? I've tried everything I could think of, but nothing works, it just simply does not want to download.

    Ok, a new digital copy of Rise of the Guardians started downloading automatically at no extra cost, I admit that I was thrilled, but now my happiness is gone because the new digital copy of Rise of the Guardians simply won't play. Nothing works with it except for the iTunes extras again. I'm getting really tired of this. Why won't it play and why give a digital copy if it refuses to work? Please someone help me out here!

  • Why won't firefox search?

    Why won't firefox search when I type anything into the search bar? It lists everything I've typed in before but when you click search it just sits there doing nothing. If I use the search bar in the top right corner it searches just fine, but nothing from the central search line.
    Also what is the line below this for? if I mouse over it I get a pointy finger, but it is blank and remains blank.

    If you can't clear that saved form and search history then there may be nothing to clear.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why won't firefox close

    Why won't Firefox close properly? When I close the program and then try and restart it, I get an error message which says "Firefox is already open....." I then have to go into the Task Manager to close it down.
    How can I fix this problem?
    Thanks

  • Why won't iPhoto download after i have bought it from the app store and installed mavericks

    why won't iPhoto download after i have bought it from the app store and installed mavericks?

    Sorry no mind readers here so you have to tell us details, context and any error messages - just stating an abstract problem that could have thousands of causes is not enough
    What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? what has changed since it worked? How are you trying to open it (clicking on the icon in the Dock, double clicking on the application in the applications folder, ???)?
    Anything else you can tell a total stranger who can not see you or your computer to let them assist you?

  • Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easilly down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

    Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easily down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

    Hotmail has been having a few hiccups lately I'm afraid.
    If you don't see any emails when you log in, or nothing appears after some time, click in the middle of the grey bar on the left which has the word "'''Inbox'''" in it. This usually causes them to magically appear for some strange reason.
    I've read on on a few blogs that Microsoft is working on the problem, but don't hold your breath.<br><br>
    If this suggestion resolves the problem for you, please click the '''Solved it''' button next to this post after you log in into the forum. This will help others searching for a solution to the same problem.

  • Why won't FireFox 4 play mp3 files that have been created since the FF update? It will play mp3 files created prior to the FF update. All of the mp3 files have been created in the same manner, as bounces from Logic Pro 9. Thank you.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
    Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

  • HT1924 why won't itunes download on my pc. I get an error message saying not correct 64 bit download??????

    why won't itunes download on my pc. I get an error message saying not a correct 64 bit download???

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Why won't my downloaded CS5 design Premium file load?

    I downloaded the creative Suite CS5  for Windows from the Adobe CLP website and I got a file named:  DesignPremium_CS5_ LS1.7z which will not load on my Windows machine.
    Did I miss a step... What mistake did I make and why won't it unpack and install?

    You should have also downloaded a small .exe file with the same name. If you cannot find it then you can manually extract the .7z archive using 7Zip: http://www.7-zip.org/

    See this migrate iTunes library post for tips on moving an iTunes library from one computer to another.
    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device to move your media from a device into a new library if you've failed to migrate the library.
    See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy to make sure you don't lose the content that is in your library.
    If/when something goes wrong with the device you should restore it. If all the content is in your library where it should be then this should be an easy task.
