If your downloads are not working or being recorded:

What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER

Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore advanced settings, and then click
RESET - APPLY / OK

IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on Reset all areas - APPLY / OK

Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if she's here, it is no longer necessary but Java
installs and it causes more questions - have you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again.) Search

Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right.
Allowed are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program, ask

Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you never think malware updated, then

I hope this helps.

  • Downloading files over 2 meg are missing in Firefox but not Chrome or IE

  • Can not find the downloaded file

    I regularly download files, and they will 'always' in the same directory. Now, I downloaded fedora-live-workstation-i686-22-3.iso
    of https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/and (a) I didn't get the usual "save/open" Download dialog and (b) I can not find the downloaded file. The < downloads - tools > FF screen displays the file as downloaded, but not (AFAICT) where he was placed.

    Any clarification would be appreciated. Thank you.

    (OP) Well, I downloaded the same file again and this time everything went as it should. For example, some of my 'facts' above must be wrong, but I don't know who. I suspect some personal deficiencies.

  • Remove the downloaded files.

    When I press Quit, Firefox deletes downloaded files. I don't have clear downloads in the clear now the settings selected. Help, please.

    GoTo setting-> privacy and check if you have selected clear on the exit option and check what options are chosen to clear leaving if selected.

    Hello

  • Downloaded files disappear in 5 seconds. Show all downloads in the drop-down list is empty.

    It is a new problem. Unless I immediately open downloaded files - even a PDF - they left of Firefox in about 5 seconds and I have to go to download the windows folder to retrieve. I tried to change the settings for windows defender, I searched browser.download.scanwhendone in the config, but it wasn't there.
    I have my story never save settings, but still for many years.

    You need to keep the history if you want to keep visible downloads Manager downloads and on topic: downloads page.

    Firefox handles downloads in the downloads folder in the library (history > show history)

    • Downloads are treated as elements of history: history of compensation removes items from included download and vice versa.
    • When the downloads are in progress you see a download button animation on the toolbar for Navigation showing an estimate of the remaining time
    • The download button gets a blue highlight all completed once download to make you aware that there are new downloads.
    • Suspend and resume are in the context menu of an item.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you.

  • Downloaded files disappear instantly at the end

    When I download files (regardless of the type: pdf, jpg, exe, etc.) the download shows progress, the arrow turns green and indicates that the file completed, but there is no file. If I take the office as the location, it will appear there briefly and then instantly disappear at the end. Change my download location (for example, download folder) has no effect. 'Open containing folder' produces no action. Try opening the file produces no action. Search for the file name does not work, the file does not exist. (Kaspersky Internet Security 2014. OS = Windows XP.)

    Thank you.

    You can try this?

    1. In the address bar, type Subject: config and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
    2. Click on I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue on the subject: config page. A list of parameters must appear
    3. Filter the list by typing in the search bar at top. Enter scanWhenDone. Now you should find the "browser.download.scanWhenDone" preference.
    4. Double-click this preference to set the value to false.
    5. Then, try to download something and see if it still crashes.

    Please reply and let us know if this helped you!

    If that does not work, re-enable the pref that has been disabled.

  • Firefox can not play videos, download files or run updates

    All of a sudden my browser isn't more videos. Firefox tells me my ins plugg java are blocked because there are unstable, but I can't update. later I noticed that I can not download files or run updates. What could be the cause of the problem?

    I already tried other things: System Recovery, deleted temporary files, etc. I received an alert from avira anti virus, but this doesn't seem to be a dangerous virus that is causing the problem more I received this alert a day after the trouble started.

    BEGIN scan in "C:\Documents and Settings\Gebruiker\Local Settings\Temp\Ge1lqHQ6.exe.part"

     [NOTE]      The file was moved to the quarantine directory under the name '560cb63d.qua'!
    

    More old version of Malwarebytes (cannot update), can not find malware.

    I don't have access to another computer to download files or updates and transfer... No idea what could be the cause of the problem, it would indeed be the java plugin? and how to solve?

    It turns out that it was a problem with the router/modem, nothing related to malware. I did not know before, but my phone could not also download new applications or updates and a friend's computer had the same exact problems once connected to the network wireless home.

    Not quite sure what caused her but restarted the modem and the router and everything works again.

    Thanks for your help anyway, if tried my phone earlier, maybe I would have thought it more early then

    End of last week I noticed that I had accumulated a large number of cookies. I decided to clear the cookies and history by selecting «Clear history of Firefox closing» I deleted cookies and closed Firefox. Firefox has started closing but stop responding before the end of the fence. I forced Firefox to close (Mac OS X 10.6.8) then restarted Firefox which has always failed.

I tried another browser (Safari 5.1.5) and downloads are normal.
