can I use Firefox with other anti virus programs such as avast?
I have heard do not use more than one anti virus.
I just buy avast and want to know if I can keep FF on computer?
The good news is, Firefox is a web browser, not an antivirus program, then Yes, you can use Firefox and Avast.
You were using before another antivirus program installed a toolbar in Firefox? You can remove those as part of your switch. You can see and disable or remove toolbars on this page:
Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category
Does it work?

When you download an anti virus program I get the message of insufficient permissions, why is it I am logged as administrator.
Hi tomholland69,
· What is the full error message?
· You are able to download other programs?
· What web browser do you use?
· What anti-virus program do you use?
Follow these methods.
Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state of the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.
After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.
(a) click Start, run.
(b) type msconfigand click OK.
(c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
(d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
(e) when you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer.

I want to add a new application to the list right click on file-> open with
and also reorder the list so my search app is first / top of the list.
I know that I can use open with-> other and select any application, but it takes too long I should use my intended application in this way several times a day.
Basically, I'm looking for a configurable way configure open with, something more to send to Windows.
Thank you very much for all the advice offered.
The operating system, not you, not control that open with the menu command.

I can't use Roboform with 4.0 beta 10, so I can't use Firefox. How to get back to the beta version 9?
I think that there is a little more for it, but here's a solution that seems to work. After the installation of Roboform 7.1.7, go to: http://www.roboform.com/platforms/browsers/firefox and scroll down to a table listing the three browsers identifying the XPI file to load if it was not loaded automatically. Click the http://www.roboform.com/dist/roboform-firefox-3-4-frozen.xpilink. Firefox will ask you if you want to allow this should be installed. Let him. Finish installation, restart Firefox 4.0b10, and you'll see a Roboform 7.1.7 toolbar works. I did it on two computers, and everything seems to work.

Can I use Firefox Sync on a public computer, like I did with Xmarks?
I'll miss Xmarks. How can I use Firefox Sync when I go to an internet café?
You cannot use an Internet café to access bookmarks, the add-on Firefox Sync is limited to synchronization data, it does not include an option to access the bookmarks from any computer online. There are other companies that offer online access to favorites such as Google Bookmarks and Delicious bookmarks.
Xmarks can continue, but you will have to pay to use it, for details, see http://blog.xmarks.com/?p=1945

To tell you the truth, I'm sick of these scam sites and if someone can recommend a trusworthy site or know where I can buy a CD at good / so please let me know. Regards, Darren.

How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?
How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?
It is not in the file menu or tools. I get nothing when searching for help. FF still knows how to do it, say to update extensions.
I know that I can do by saving my session, coming out, reboot and restore the session but is there a single command to do this?
Thank you. -David
I have attached a screenshot showing how to select restore automatic session just above the setting of the Home Page where it says "When Firefox starts".
With this set, you can restart Firefox manually out using the menu-
- "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
- (menu bar) File > Exit
-and then restart Firefox.
If you want a real reboot with a click of button, you can check something on the Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

Since this morning updated (01/11), my policy is so tiny that I can't read anything. This, even after the DOUBLING of the size of my font in tools. Unless this is addressed, I can't use Firefox more, because I don't SEE anything.
I tried NoSquint (looked simpler) and that did the trick... I am now back to where I was before this upgrade. Thank you.

Since I changed the Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit operating system, I can't use Firefox browser except change the browser in safe mode. When I start the browser is not open and it displayed a message
