What do I need to download a server like Firefox. I'm on my new Lombard that i just got and apparently, it came with very little as far as software.
Do I need stuffit or what??

What do you mean server? Firefox is a browser. Is that what you meant? If so and you need to extract a .SIT or .SITX then yea you need to get stuffit in order to extract the file you need to install Firefox.

That's what I meant - browser. My mind was elsewhere. I'll see if I can't go and change that title.
I downloaded stuffit and it still says, "Explorer cannot open this." I think I just extracted .SIT off stuffit. I'll try again and see what happens.

Didn't work. I'm doing something wrong. It's trying to open in Quicktime. When I download the Firefox, it's not downloading the installer. What do I do now?
This is getting frustrating.

Explorer cannot open it? OS X doesn't have explorer... :eek:
It sort of sounds like you're trying to install the Mac version of Firefox onto your Windows PC heheh. :biohazard

Yes OS X does have IE - it came with it. I finally ended up downloading the 1.0.1 version til I can upgrade the memory. That might have been the problem. Once I get more memory then I'll upgrade the browser.
