    Whenever I launch Firefox 20 Mac OS X 10.7.5, I get the warning message by clicking "" Firefox"is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it? ». How can I stop this? There are displays on internet and previous assignments on this resolution by using Terminal commands for OS X 10.5.x & 10.6.x, but these commands do NOT work in 10.7.x or 10.8.x. This seems to be a problem of Firefox ONLY, and resolve by disabling the recommended world of security features to OS X, as before in a previously closed thread appears as a solution really BAD. Is there a "Firefox" solution only, or I will have to just to stop using Firefox?

    Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.

  • PDF files downloaded from the Internet, record of error

    Hello

    Files PDF that is downloaded from the internet is put in error while it is stored in one location. He says: "disk you save or the disk used for temporary files is full. We checked its fine all permission. This is not the case for all Seems PDFs. as occurs only for the PDF files downloaded from the internet. Tried all the quick fixes available on the internet, but still of no use. As disabling protected view/view pdf in the browser. Problem is still not resolved. Please help me with this.

    OK, this photo shows that, for this file in particular, he arrived without security (she won't say "SECURE").

    My money is on the files actually being assured, rather than to be wrong in Acrobat.

    That leaves two main possibilities.

    1. all the files you want to secure. It is now a very common practice. If the files are public we could take a look; If not, you could ask the creators.

    2. you have certain processes in your organization that adds security for downloaded files. That seems unlikely, but it is not impossible. And the fact that it didn't happen in the cases we have tested suggests that it is not done universally.

  • my windows 7 disc is scratched - then - I download from the internet

    buy windows 7 pro and does not need 64 disk and now I'm doing but is scratched.  can I drop from the internet and use my key

    Installation may stop if the system cannot copy files. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem:

    Try to clean your Windows installation disc. It could be scratched, stained or dirty. Clean the disc with a soft cloth, insert it in the CD or DVD drive, and then start the Windows installation again. If your installation disc is damaged, you may need to replace it. For more information, go to how to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and upgrades and replace manuals of products on the Microsoft Web site. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246/en-gb)

    Make sure that your CD-ROM or DVD drive is not working properly. If it isn't, the disc may be vibrating too much for the laser correctly read data. For more information about this problem, see your hardware documentation or contact the manufacturer of the CD or DVD drive.

    If your computer has multiple CD or DVD drives, make sure that your computer is trying to locate the files on your drive. If your computer has a feature to disable CD or DVD drives that are not used, turn off readers that you don't use. Otherwise, try to insert the disc in a different drive, and then restart the installation.

    Check for a virus on your computer. Run an antivirus program to scan your system and to identify the necessary repairs. Don't forget to disable the antivirus before you start the installation again.

  • I'll copy Mozilla firefox from one computer to the other. I don't want to download from the internet, I caught the virus of "Babylon" in this way.

    (1) you really have to make it easier to contact support. Get rid of password requirements!
    (2) I would copy safely Firefox from one computer to the other. I don't want to download from the internet. Really, we love and use firefox. I had to remove firefox because it came with the virus of Babylon.

    If you have been Babylon when you installed Firefox you may have installed it from an authoritative source (the only official place and secure to download Firefox from www.getfirefox.comEast). Please, never download Firefox from anywhere else.

    So, for your computers, be sure to download Firefox from www.getfirefox.comand you download the version official, convenient and safe.

    If you get Babylon on your computer, you can remove it easily without having to remove Firefox by reading How to remove the toolbar of Babylon, home page and search engine (Please note that Babylon is not affiliated with Firefox and we actively seek to solve these problems).
