• Each launch I get a download message block as when the first one I tried to download this file

  I tried to download this file some time ago and obtained the deadlock as on the picture message (quick translation is "blocked, probably contains a virus or other spy software"). After that each launch of Firefox, I get the same message. Cookes cleaning does not help. Also, I can't upload picture here. Or can? At the time of typing this animation download question plays infinitely

  OK, thank you all for the asking. I closed all tabs and still got the message and I have such file as sessionstore.js in my browser profile directory, only the backups to it - sessionstore.bak and folder sessionstore-backups.
  But now I just want to remove this object (Yes, I get another) to download history and pannals messages. So I'm confused - I think that, if she (any file download) has been blocked, then browser should remove them.

• How can I force Firefox to download mp3 files and NOT play?

  Hi guys,.

  I couldn't change the settings of Firefox in this way, that it does not play mp3 files at all (in any kind of player), but allows to decide what with them for example to download the file.

  What I actually did:

  - changed at settings, that I want a dialog or download any file type and NOT use any other option (yes, all of them - not any kind of effect was seen there...)
  - changed especially all mp3-related options to download
  - deactivated ALL plugins and addons
  - about:config -> media.windows-media-foundation.enabled -> false
  - uninstalled ALL types of mediaplayers (Winamp, VLC etc.), but not WMP because it would be very complicated and would cause several bugs
  

  Many updates before (I think it's up to 20 FF or if) you could simply tell FF, I tried to download the file via the settings and now it isn't.

  Is it possible to left I can force Firefox to NOT READ mp3 files in any player and offer my the possibility to download?

  Please do NOT give answers like:

  - right click on the file and save it as ... I allready know that and do not want to use that solution. A few years before it was possible, so it should also be possible to directly click at the file and decide what to do with it. On all the sites I want to use it the possibilities are given and not blocked by the sites or implementations itself.
  

  I thank very you much for your help in advance. I'm desperately trying to find an answer to this question for months...

  Hello TurZ, please set media.windows - media - foundation.enabled back to its default value and turn media.play - stand alone false instead.

• Suddenly, I wonder to download webm files before playing them. Don't you have a built-in player anymore?

  As a Mac user, I've always avoided Sarfari for Firefox mainly because I can't download webm files to watch. All of a sudden, now you do. Is there something that I have to reset, or have you turned into an option as you did with the bar of the add-on?

  Hello, the mobile version of firefox is not available on the windows phone platform: Firefox work on my mobile?

  There was technical and legal obstacles in the app store initially that discouraged mozilla to start any developments in this direction. I do not know the current situation, but given that mozilla is now focusing its efforts on the creation of firefox os as a platform open source web-based, I doubt you'll see firefox on your windows phone device in the foreseeable future...

• How can I download a file inside a link without a right click on it (' save target as ')?

  Hello! Does anyone know if there is some way I can download a file hosted on a link (for example, www.ff.org/test.pdf ) go to config and change my preferences? I want FF keep open media (like pdf and mp3) on the tab when I clik on it, as a general rule. But sometimes I want to be able to download a file, and I can't right click on it because that what I have is the address of someone gave me. If I type that address and press ENTER, FF will open the file in a tab.

  Is there any command I can spend, say, on the address bar which will make me, download the file rather than open it in a tab in FF (as download:www.ff.org/test.pdf)? Will I always have to change my preferences in order to download a file instead of open it when I type the link in the address bar?

  Thank you!

• Select and download the file to the collapsed site works on firefox 31

  On a site using CKEditor and RoxyFileman file manager to download the files, I have always used the button 'Browse' to select a file in my computer, and then you press the Upload button and work done. Updated to Firefox and now when I press the button 31 transfer window "Select the file" remains on the screen and no download.
  Last night I had a report of another user in the same site for this problem. I used the version 30 and that he had upgraded to version 31...
  Checked and no problems with Windows 7 and Windows XP with IE 11, 36 Chrome and Firefox 30 and Linux Mint 17 with Firefox 30.
  On sites with the button 'Browse' classic, there is no problem.

  Problem solved with Firefox 32!
  Now, everything works again as before...

  Thank you Mozilla team!
  I am very happy to see that you take in mind our problems and that you always support our work.
  Thanks again!

• Firefox crashes when loading websites, freezes when I try to download any file and completely freezes when I try to access the Options menu. Help!

  As he says, I had a difficult time with Firefox lately, and I think that it's corrupted. I tweaked the settings according to the suggestions on this forum and others like him, but they made the problem worse. I've updated to the latest version of the browser that has not helped, and I finally tried the "Reset Firefox" button, which was worse than anything. I lost my custom settings and Add-ons for nothing, the problem persists.

  More frustrating is that it completely crashes whenever I click on tools > Options, so I'm not able to make changes to this new configuration. If I export my favorites safely, I will try to uninstall the browser and re - install an older version of it, but of course it now freezes when I try to export the bookmarks file.

  Thus, apart from trashing it and starting over... any suggestions?

  For the record, it's Firefox 28.0 (do not know what version it was the beginning of the sentence), and the window "On Firefox" said that it is up-to-date. I am running Windows XP.

  Thanks for any help or enlightenment, you might be able to provide.

  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 http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
  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: Uninstaller or the use of Firefox and not run a third remover as part of this process, because who could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. These can be recovered, unless they have been backed up on an external device!

  Please report back to see if this helped you!

  Thank you.

• Firefox 28 tries automatically to download a file when it starts

  I just upgraded to Firefox v28 and noticed new behaviors.

  Whenever I run firefox, it now automatically tries to download a file of help from hp from the following link.

  http://h20565.www2.HP.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.BINARYPORTLET/public/KB/docDisplay/resource.process/?spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay_ws_BI & spf_p.rid_kbDocDisplay = docDisplayResURL & javax.portlet.begCacheTok = com.vignette.cachetoken & spf_p.rst_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-resourceState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c00821546-1%257CdocLocale%253Den_US & javax.portlet.endCacheTok = com.vignette.cachetoken

  How can I stop firefox from doing this?

  I want to thank all the people who offered a solution to this problem, I appreciate the time that other friends have made to offer suggestions.

  I only noticed the problem after the upgrade to v28, but I don't think that it is linked to that.

  I downloaded MalwareBytes AntiMalware and it ran. It found 2 problems. I deleted them and recharged v28 and now everything seems to be fine.

  I could have some kind of infection, but it would be the first for years, since I run several firewalls and the latest Kaspersky and no one caught anything.

  In any case, the problem seems to have disappeared (permanently I hope).

  Thank you all.

• Firefox opens an Explorer window when I download a file

  Firefox has started recently to open a window of the Explorer, whenever I have download a file. It's better Explorer, actually, since I use that to replace the version of Microsoft. The folder that opens is the destination target. Thus, it creates several tabs, but I expect that it will open just to the top of multiple instances of Windows Explorer if that's what I used.

  So if I download a dozen pictures, I get a dozen tabs open. This does not happen with IE or Chrome. I have several extensions installed, but I went through the options of Firefox and all relative to the downloads and none of them seem to have anything that could cause this. I checked from the Applications under the Firefox Options tab, which seemed to be a likely cause. But I don't see anything. And I don't remember changing anything recently, anyway. I can't see anything in the Explorer best that would cause this behavior. That is borne out by this is not occurring in other browsers. And I have not changed anything there, either.

  I tried to download something with NetVideoHunter and I get the same behavior. But this does not happen with DownloadThemAll!

  I tried search it online, but queries that I use are apparently too similar to those of other issues, because nothing of what happens is still close to my problem.

  As it becomes very annoying, any help would be greatly appreciated. Firefox is my favorite browser and I am not prepared to give up on this. But I'd hate to reinstall it, since I set up just the way I want it. And I'm not even sure who could solve the problem.

  Thank you

  Hello msd2013,
  Thanks for the reply, its good to know that your problem has been fixed.

• Downloading .docx files gets gibberish

  I have Firefox installed 26.0 (although this has happened in previous versions). I lived all the previous questions on this problem, but none that I see. It goes to third-party access to my web site. I have an example of web page I have up that has the problem to http://flory.net/gabl/docx.htm.

  When I click on the link on the page above (a 2007 office word .docx document), I get a page of gibberish as if it downloads the file as a text document. I went through all the steps I could find to support fix it to without success, including resetting all values by default, etc.. .doc works fine, but I can't find anything in the Options/Applications which will allow me to change/add info to handle .doc or .docx.

  Unlike Internet Explorer, which looks at the beginning of the file itself to reach an opinion on its content-type, Firefox relies on the information provided by the web server. In this case, the server sends "text/plain" and Firefox that honors. The server must be updated to send a better content-type for DOCX files.

  Attached screenshots are: dialogue Page Info and dialogue of headers from the Web Console.

• Download csv file don't ask where to store the file

  Firefox is set to "always ask me where to save files.

  I have a WebService to download a file download.csv via a POST request (must be a POST request and not a GET request due to data problems).
  I use jquery.fileDownload.js on the Web site to achieve. When you press the download button, the 'Opening download.csv' screen opens with the option 'Save file' preset. After pressing OK, a window of the Explorer must take place in order to choose the location of the file. But it is NOT shown. Instead nothing more happens.

  What could be the problem?
  P.S.: in other browsers it works fine.

  Hello gnittala,

  Thanks for your reply.
  1 MIMEType is set correctly.
  2. When you use this configuration, the file is downloaded correctly.

  Now I discovered, what was the problem:
  the jquery.fileDownload.js plugin was removing the iframe internally used too early, before the Explorer window could not be displayed. Keeping the iframe longer (at least until the Explorer window is displayed, or more easily reuse in next download call) solves the problem.
