I was having a problem with my email in Firefox so I uninstalled it and tried to download it again, hoping a newer version might fix the email problems I was having.

When attempting to download Firefox from the website, I get this installer error "Unable to initialize installer GUI"

Are you saving the Firefox installer to your computer (e.g. desktop)?

You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:

yes it was giving me that error messaging when trying to download to my laptop.

But I went to the above link and it worked great!!! Thank you so much....

Firefox is working great - but I still have the problem with my email ... when composing a New email message, I start typing the person's name in the "To" column and my contacts list comes up and I select the recipient's name - but - the contacts list stays visible on my computer - which hides the rest of the email envelope and sometimes, depending on how many contact names appear, into the message area! I have learned to enter my email message and Subject before typing in the recipient's name, any idea what this problem might be??

thanks, paula
