I am filling out a med school application on an HP laptop with Windows. When I accessed the application it said I could not do it with Windows --- that I had to download firefox which I thinkI did . Still can't fill out the application on my HP. Got my wife's Apple and it works fine. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I think you got an adware or other bad software on your system. While some web sites may want you to use their comm program, the site you should be on would not tell you what program to use. Also, did the message include a link for Firefox? Was the download from Mozilla? If not you may have a bad version. What is the web address you are having trouble with? Is the FF program you have from Mozilla? Have you tried Windows internet explorer anyway?
