Can you successfully install any other programs? Maybe try installing Thunderbird, since it probably has a similar install procedure - you can always uninstall it later. It sounds like something in the install process itself is breaking, not connected to Firefox directly.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Technically the install/uninstall process on a Mac is
1. download disk image
2. Expand disk image
3. drag firefox to the extension folder.
To uninstall, drag Firefox to the trash.
JZ, do you have stuffit expander? I could make a zip file of the firefox.app and you could unzip it.

Actually, Macs should unzip without stuffit now, IIRC.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
(sorry, out until just now taking Matilda to her first movie, Wall-E, which turned out to be a total happy success, yay!)

Whee - internets are working again! I unplugged and rebooted *everything* (modem, router, all peripherals) and whatever was clogging up the wireless tubes seems to have disappeared. Whew!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Mom and Dad are in the market for a new TV. Mom asked me the difference between plasma and LCD. I'm clueless. Can I get a clue from the hivemind please?

Plasma costs way way more. That's the extent of my knowledge.

Wasn't there once a problem with image burn or something with LCD? Which, I believe they have since solved.
