Hey people

I need to put Mozilla Firefox on hold while I download Adobe. Can anybody give me a step by step instruction guide on how to do it?

Thanks.

I don't understand Ross, you can't put software on hold.........you can close it down.....if your installing adobe, you should not need 2 close firefox down, but you may need 2 restart the computer after it installs

I'm trying to install Adobe Flash and it won't let me because Mozilla is blocking it? I already have earlier version of it installed. I've just bought a brand new lappy.

I'm stuffed up with a head cold and my terminology isn't the best. lol

Hey Ross, I assume its windows 7.

If Mozzila firefox is running in the background and you can't close it then:
press -"ctrl", "alt" and "delete" together then click on start task manager
then select "processes". Now you have to find firefox in the list and click on it, then click on "end process:

If that doesn't work then try to reboot PC and start again

God help you Rossco....lol.

I think Flash just wants Mozilla to be closed whilst it installs. Make sure Mozilla is closed and then try again. If not as Kris said should kill it good.

If that doesnt work add beansathome to your MSN and I'm sure he'll sort you out.

No worries. My fault.

I think I'd better slow down until I'm feeling better. Got a new lappy with Windows 7 and Office 2010. It's all a bit daunting at the mo. Very frustrating. lol

I'll have to get my old computer out and go through them, again. At least I've still got them. lol

Hey Rossco but your gonna kick yourself............ I've just downloaded Chrome and if you had kept Mozilla, you can transfer all your browsing history and bookmarks to Chrome, sorry mate but only just found out now.

Do you have any browsing history on Explorer, or did you do all your browsing with Mozilla?

hahahaha yeah I know the feeling mate...... I just tried trasnsferring but could work out how to open the transferred bookmarks.............. it transferred the browsing history though.............. which was nice. I have to say Chrome does seem to be noticeably quicker!!!!!!
