  • How can I immediately remove the entries finished in the Firefox download window?

    I had to reinstall it today because of the SNAFU silly Google home page. Previously, when a download is complete, it has disappeared from the downloads window. Not, it stays there and I have to delete manually. It's SO boring.

    Try to set a preference in Subject: config

    • See-> http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
    • Preference to set (see below)-> browser.download.manager.retention
      • 0 (<-c' is a zero) indicates that the download should be deleted at the end (to download)
      • 1 indicates that completed and cancelled downloads should be deleted on abandonment (when you exit or exit from Firefox)
      • 2 indicates that the downloads should never be removed automatically (default)

    Download history can now be managed in the window of the library where you can also manage the history and bookmarks. You can open the library window with

    • Firefox button > history > view history (or history > view history on the Menu bar) or CTRL + SHIFT + H
    • Firefox button > bookmarks > show all bookmarks (or bookmarks > show all bookmarks in the Menu bar) or CTRL + SHIFT + B
    • Click on 'Show all downloads' at bottom of the new interface (see below)

  • Downloads slipped and fell from the download window of Firefox in Outlook email show text file location.

    I have a user who normally can drag the Firefox download window files in an e-mail message in Outlook and creates this file as an attachment in the e-mail message. However, in recent times, the moved .pdf or other record shows only upward as a location of text file as:

    \\file:%downloads%\randomfile.PDF

    It is not a link, it's just text.

    I tried to do a repair of Microsoft Outlook.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 19.
    I tried dragging items from the Office to the e-mail and it works fine.
    I can't drag and drop downloads to the desktop window.

    I just wanted to add that this user is using Windows XP Pro.

    I just tried to back off at 18 and it works very well.

    As for your question Xtinch, I tried to disable all addons in Outlook and Firefox and the problem still occurs. At this point I'm very convinced that it is a bug in Firefox, 19-20.

  • During the download, the download of Firefox window appears and the file downloads to the correct location. However, it shows not listed in the download window. The window remains empty. I have to open each workstation instead.

    This is a new computer, and this problem has occurred since I installed Firefox. The settings in the general tab of the window Options look good. If I accidentally close a file downloaded, I can't return to the Firefox download window to reopen even if Firefox has never closed.

    Options > privacy-> = Remember download history history

    Is this selected pref?

  • Cannot download the software because the entry in the downloads window says "canceled."

    Internet access: Juno dial-up. Browser: Firefox 18.0.2. OS: Windows XP Pro. No antivirus program. I could not download the software of three websites. When the Firefox downloads window opens, it lists the file I want to download, but under this file is called a message that reads, "cancelled - (name of the Web site)." What can cause a download to be cancelled? How can I avoid this and get the download?
    The software which I have been unable to download is: Adobe.com: Acrobat Reader and Flash Player. of kodak.com: the software in support of my camera Kodak digital photo; of mozilla.org: Thunderbird. If I followed the instructions from Adobe and double-click the file name in the window of downloads, the download product, but it seems to be a travesty of download. When it's over, nothing more, and when I search the entire hard drive for the file to be downloaded, it is not found. The data seem to have simply disappeared. I took two screenshots of a cancelled Thunderbird download, but I do not see how to reach this question.

    Why Firefox stop working. I have download Tunein Radio - program - and it looked as if he was installing junkware.
    I stopped the download but it seems to have already installed what is called the file opener. I uninstalled fire opener.

    That may have caused the problem

    Hello, you will find the download links for all supported systems and languages to https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

  • using 30 firefox in windows 7, I get a blank when you restart, if I don't have that one tab open when I close it.

    I have my options set for firefox "open windows and tabs from last time", but whenever I don't have that one tab left open, I get a blank page. If I have several tabs, then it opens with the tab and windows.
    I am running Windows 7 Professional and Firefox 30. Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Quote: it's only when I have no tabs open I get the blank page (instead of the homepage).

    There is always at least one open tab, if it didn't is no extensions installed that hide the bar tab in this case.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
  • Downloads window blank and nothing download - only for PDF files?

    FF 25, Mac Mountain Lion.

    Last week, stopped download PDF files and the downloads window is empty. Tried Safe Mode and clear memory cache, as well as Disable selectively module DownloadHelper. Nothing has worked. Acrobat plugin is not used, I've always had PDF files in Acrobat itself opening.

    It seems to affect only PDF files.

    I do not have reset FF because it's so invasive and time-consuming. Any other solution before I resort to that (or switch to Chrome)?

    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not to open PDF files with the internal PDF reader to Firefox), do the following:

    1. Go to Tools > Options (or Firefox > Options).
    2. In the Options window, select the Applications tab.
    3. In the Search box, type PDF. You should find Portable Document Format (PDF).
    4. On the right referring, you should find a column of Action . To select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDFs in Firefox, choose Preview in Firefox.

  • Firefox blocks window to download wireless tether with Android

    Download Firefox freezes Windows, not good. Here's the situation: I open Firefox, go to a web page that wants me to download a file (as a PDF file, but it does not matter), download the file and BOOM, windows freezes COMPLETELY. The mouse is frozen on the screen, not ctrl-alt-delete, not nothing. I still have the image of the screen, but it froze HARD. My only option is a long wait on the power button. Also, this happens on Gmail attachment downloads, exact same symptoms. (As a note, I'm really open up the files, such as PDFs in the browser.) I have download and possibly open with proper application, on everything. This deadlock occurs regardless if I have just download or upload to temp and open.)

    I did a LOT of tests, and this only happens when I am attached to my Droid through "Wireless Tether" which is an ad - hoc connection. Everything works fine if it's a regular wifi connection or a connection through an ethernet cable. In addition, I don't have this problem with Chrome, is strictly a Firefox/Droid combination of attachment problem. I am running version 12 of Firefox. I disabled (set to False) the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone in Firefox option. I also disabled my analysis of files in Windows Defender. Absolutely, I know that I have no other running virus software, and I keep VERY close tabs on all my applications to start (both in files and registry), and I am VERY sure that I don't have a virus.

    It is an easily reproducible problem for me, and it is not a good thing. I ardently Firefox, but I travel a lot and often use my Droid as a strap to access internet, I do right now. All other times (and everything else in Firefox) works absolutely fine with the tie strap, that I have a central computer (I7, 8 GB, and graphics ATI 5870). Whenever I have a problem, I hit out there, but this one is VERY serious.

    I dearly love Firefox and don't want to switch to Chrome, but it is serious enough that he told me he plans. Any advice or a quick fix would be highly appreciated.

    When this happens, the droid shows something unusual? It indicates whether the file is actually downloaded or download is frozen (not sure if there is an application that shows only)? I guess that you attempted to escape Frost by pulling the USB cable, but if not, you could try that.

    Are you using Firefox native download or Download Manager add-on? If you have an add-on, I assume you have tested without it, but if you haven't, please give that a try.

    You can also try the Mode without failure of Firefox to see if your modules or custom settings might be the culprit.

    First of all, I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See your backup information. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).

    Then restart Firefox in Safe Mode to help

    Help > restart with disabled modules

    In the Safe Mode dialog box, do not check the boxes, just click "continue mode without failure."

    I realize that this test is potentially very bad news (lock-up), but... I don't know any other way to determine if that helps you.

  • When the download window appears, or by a download, or just to activate it via CTRL + J, Firefox crashes.

    Whenever I have download, or simply activate the download window (Ctrl + J) Firefox will slow and then hang.

    I changed the download location and download settings several times already.

    I was also able to click on the "Clear list" button in the window download before he slowed down and hanged on me.

    Also try removing the downloads.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder of Firefox right out of Firefox. You can also open the folder via Firefox help (Alt + H) > troubleshooting information > Open the containing folder.

  • I was looking for where firefox downloads files from the web. Everything I can find is the download list window that has only a clear"" button.

    When I download a file from the web, I want to find it in the Windows Explorer window, but don't know where to look. (I use Windows 7 64 bit on an HP Pavillion laptop) Where is - this Firefox download files that it lists in its own small window of download, but you only allows 'Clear' the list, no copy or open, or move the file?
    Where are the actual files to?

    Map of the last file downloaded and saved

    go to the Tools Menu-> Options-> general-> downloads section-> select Radio button option 1 ' save files from "dialog box-> click the"Browse..."button "and from there you can find the exact folder hierarchy where a download was recorded recently.

    If you want to know when a download starts to download and where you want to save the download, performs the following steps:

    go to the Tools Menu-> Options-> general-> downloads section-> place checkmark on "Show the downloads window when downloading a file"-> check out of "close it when all downloads are finished"-> select Radio button Option2 'Always ask me where to save files'-> click OK.

    Check and tell if its working.

  • The download window appears no information since the last update of Firefox

    I had to create a new account to help just to get here.

    Your navig was fucking up like crazy since the last update. I had nothing else to connection problems in several sites. Sites would connect at random, then I wouldn'; t be able to reconnect. I tried to make an account on a new site and had to try 11 times crazy until he has known. and just now, when I tried to ask a question of troubleshooting, my username and password would not work. So I sent a request for password reset. Nothing happened. I sent at least FIVE password reset requests. None of them went through. When I tried to enter a different user name, thinking maybe that was the problem, as soon as I re-typed and clicked any where outside the name space, he would return to the name that was already there. What the hell!

    I didn't still the problem, I first want to contact you about!

    The download window no longer works. I download a file, I click on "Downloads" to see how long it will be, I don't see anything. Gross, white, white. And Yes, I know that some files download so fast, they're gone until I open the window. I mean great videos megabytes and disc images. No indication that they are downloading at all.

    All of this has happened since 19.0 installed. I need to disable the updates in the future to keep the browser working properly!

    Well, I found out what was going on. It turns out it was a confrontation with an add-on after all:

    http://update.DownloadHelper.NET/index.html?TS=1361662188

    So it makes sense why it persists even after reset and reinstalling. Sorry I lost all the time, but I enjoyed your trying to find solutions.

    Although I hope that the problems I've had of logging in and out of sites disappear soon too.

  • Sudden death Firefox on Windows XP Professional

    Hello. Firefox handles beautifully years when he died suddenly. Had a lot of 'terrible WARNING' messages. I don't not updated to the latest version as it said it was for Windows 8, which I am not running. What should do?

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

      Click the close button

      ).

    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

    Please report to say if this helped you!

    Thank you.
