Firefox Community Forum

Firefox was my default browser until I had to install Microsoft 365, which I think is repeatedly blocking my attempt to restore Firefox as my default browser. Every time I try to download it stops two-thirds of the way through.

I was doing puzzles on my sons account because i cancelled my previous account but decided to reactivate Facebook on Fire fox. My sons account was on Edge but I put my new account on Fire Fox. I reactivated my new account on 6/29/24 got a new computer with Windows 11 and when I try to access it, it tells me to download it. What I need is to be able to activate it on my Windows 11 in order to use it. If you need any more information I will be glad to give it to you. It was downloaded from my old Windows 10 on to my Windows 11. Hope this make sense to you.

Windows 10 pro OS is persistently repeatedly blocking every attempt I make at Installing Firefox.

Basis: the exe. / installer, is potentially harmful to the PC.

My investigation: Is 4GB RAM sufficient to reasonably run my Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 420s(4401-7SG) PC? OS Windows Pro.

sir, lately i had problems with syncronizing FIREFOX between two computers. seems one has an "old" version. i cannot "install" new versions; i download, but then, how to "install-activate". then i checked on "entry-passwords"...hélas, i do not understand your explanations... the technical terms.... what is the account for... etc. i am 80 years old, and i guess you, the IT community, can't care less.

Firefox installation error on 2021 MacBook - Compressed data is corrupted or the split compressed file is missing.

The same thing happens when you download with Safari and Chrome browsers. I would like to know how to solve this. Thank you.

Currently the Helper tool blocks my use of firefox on nonAdmin desktops, and in doing so, looks like a spoofing scam popup seeking my password. After updating Firefox to 148.0 on my M4 MacMini Sequoia 15.7.4, using an Admin account/desktop, on Firefox launch on a non admin desktop, the helper tool popup requests admin credentials !?!? As a 74yrOldNontechie Mac user since 1984, I thought that in the Mac world, when an Admin installs software on one desktop, that application then crosses all desktops used on that machine, ie if the software is really installed, even nonAdmin desktops should already have the Helper Tool. My internet facing desktops are never admins, hoping to deny Admin powers to any Internet attacks on my internet facing desktops, and my rarely used admin desktop goes on the net only for software download access/updates. How do I get Firefox to work on my NonAdmin desktops? Why does the firefox install NOT include the helper tool on nonAdmin desktops?

Error message reads: The disc image couldn't be opened. The operation couldn’t be completed. Input/output error.

It appears from the help page that many people can't seem to get Firefox to download on a MacBook Air but there is not solution provided.

HELP?!

Hi, just tried to access Firefox via an existing PC desktop short cut and it said "The item "firefox.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete this shortcut?" Not sure why it's suddenly done this.Should I delete the app via "Add remove" and re-install.

I'm running fedora open access software 64 bit. when I hit download firefox the computer runs it and it seems like it does it but I can't find it in downloads and it basically doesn't complete. What to do?

Hello, I use Windows 10, I downloaded Firefox using Microsoft Edge. Once it is installed, it creates an Icon then when you double click it, it does not open, even when I try to open as administrator and it opens, it does not look like a Firefox page because it is a blank page. My browser is Opera, but I opened Firefox from Microsoft Edge. Email me at [email removed]@yahoo.com please.
