I can't load Firefox on my XP computer. Turn round and round in circles
I can't download Mozilla Firefox on my XP sp3 computer powerful.
"Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a software restriction policy. For more information, open Event Viewer"
I am not able to carry out this instruction. 71.
You are able to help please. I'm about to buy a new computer to be upgraded in several months and several friends recommend Mozilla Firefox for this. After years of IE, I want trialuse MF. John.
Solution. Laughing out loud
I went into MS "Event Viewer" and came across 3 warnings. The last 3 times I tried to install FireFox. I opened them and saw:
The C:\DOCUME~1\JOHNMI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\7zS5.tmp\setup.exe has been restricted by your administrator by location with policy rule {9ed6ab7b-4937-4314-b9dc-868bd7bd379f} placed on path C:\Documents and Settings\ * \Local Settings\Temp\7z*\*.exe
I went into Regedit and searched "local settings."
I finally found the full link:
«C:\Documents and Settings\ * \Local Settings\Temp\7z*\*.exe»
I deleted all the words and came out with fingers crossed.
Went to the Mozilla Firefox folder and clicked on the exe to install.
He extracted and (no error) Firefox burst into life.
I now have the operational FireFox browser.
I hope this can help others or open a path in spite of being a no tech effort.
Thanks for all the help that you have shared. Appreciated.
Take care. John.

I CAN'T LOAD FIREFOX UPDATES BECAUSE I CAN'T CONNECT TO THE UPDATE SERVER
When I receive a notice of software update, I click on the button update. a bar chart appears with a moving line of dashes. under the bar chart is a note saying: the connection to the server to update... that never happens.
so I did not install the updates even if at least 4 are available.
Hello, sorry to hear that, but if you have a problem with the firefox update the best way is to download and install the new version.
1. download a copy of the latest http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html firefox
2. Trash , install the current application of Firefox to do a cleaning.
3. install the version you downloaded.
Do not select to delete your personal data, your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

Hello
I was struggling to connect to the support site yesterday and while this problem has been resolved, I was advised to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox from the system noticed that I was using an old. I was using Firefox 33 without major issues or problems at all. However I went ahead with the update, which gave me the 34.0.5 version. If good so far until what I went to play some of my regular TV series, I had followed with the previous version, only now he would not play at all.I know these TV series, comming from abroad might contain some harmful content to my machine or others, but I am well covered and as I say earlier they were playing fine in the previous version of Firefox. Just earlier the same day.
I will be grateful if you could throw some ideas in this.

HI Juanverano,
Is not a problem, Mode safe mode disables acceleration addons and hardware. If this continues and it is not an add on what will be the next step to try to disable acceleration:Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.
You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).
Then perform the following steps:
- Open the Firefox Options (Preferences on Mac or Linux) as follows:
- In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button
then select Options Preferences on Mac or Linux, or Windows.
- In 28.0 Firefox and earlier versions, click on the Firefox orange upper-left button, then select the 'Options' button or, if there is no button up Firefox, go to tools > Options.
- In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button
- In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
- You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
- Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:
