Downloads area

Hello

The Downloads box, when I click on the arrow down "Show more downloads" extends to a large box with NO OPTION to close. It remains open and takes up the entire screen. I've only been able to move it to the side, but not yet able to close for weeks (unless I restart my computer, but who then, when I click on view more downloads again... it happens again).

There is no red/yellow/green option to make the box smaller, larger or close it!

I tried to search all and still no answers and it slows down my internet browsing too (which often makes the crash).

See screen capture attached.

On Mac, the profile folder is located here:

  • ~/Library/application support/Firefox/Profiles / < profile >.

In Mac OS X v10.7 and later versions, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.

  • downloads are not staying in my library of downloads window

    Hello

    Until today, I had a lot of downloads in my download library. I usually, keep them here for easy access. All in all my downloads suddenly disappeared. I don't not touch clear all. Can I get my downloads, I had in my library? I did change something by mistake or can I change so that my downloads are still in my library until I have decide to delete them?

    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes, this should be the correct file.

    You can try to restore the version 08/12/2015 of places.sqlite and follow these steps:

    Make a backup of the current bookmarks a JSON in the Manager of bookmarks (library)

    You can save this copy on the desktop for easy access.

    You can use the button on the page "help > troubleshooting information" to go in the current profile folder and closing of Firefox.

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file

    Make a backup copy of the current places.sqlite file in the profile via the Windows Explorer folder in a safe place (e.g. office).

    Delete the temporary places.sqlite - shm and places.sqlite - wal to avoid problems with these temporary files.

    Restore version 08/12/2015 (8 dec) places.sqlite via Windows Explorer.

    Launch Firefox to see if that has restored the download history.
    You will lose these last few bookmarks and history of the sites you have already visited once the restore point (08/12/2015).
    If you have created bookmarks again last week, then you can restore the backup of bookmarks that you created.
    If it did not work so you can restore the backup of places.sqlite and delete places.sqlite - shm and places.sqlite - wal before launching Firefox.

  • Why did I get a notification saying "automatic downloads are not enabled on this unit, to allow them to go store parameters.

    I received a notification on my iphone saying "automatic download are not enabled on this unit, to allow, travel to store settings" is a normal notification because its never blown upward before and I had the phone for a year, the notification also happened on my ipad recently as well (well enough a day after notification jumped on my phone). Sorry if I seem paranoid I just hope that theres anything malicious on my device and the security has not been compromised.

  • notifications are not correctly rejected when several downloads are started from priv├⌐s.

    When a download is started from a private tab notification is automatically rejected at the end.
    If several downloads are active, it won't.
    notification by the full download will show the status and the name of the current download, while the notification belonging originally to the current download will keep displaying the % the current download had when you have finished uploading else.

    Thanks for the report! I filed a bug in Bugzilla to track this issue.

  • I can't double click on my downloads when they appear in the download area. I really need to be able to do to things such as Flash Player update.

    I am trying to download some things using FF. It appears in the download area, but when I double click top that nothing happens. Please help me with this because I can't make the necessary updates etc. I need to know why I can not download anything.

    If downloads are gone, it is possible that Windows deletes the downloads based on security policies defined in Internet Explorer. I realize realize that sounds strange, but it is related to the functionality of Firefox to submit downloads to your virus scanner and marking them as having come from the internet.

    To test this theory, you can try to disable the scan function. I assume you have good "real-time" antivirus protection that checks all the files saved on your hard drive. (If not, you should really get that, and you can make free use of Microsoft Microsoft Security Essentials for now until you have time to consider all the options available.)

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the filter box, type or paste the scan and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone to change its value.

    Firefox should now ignore download Windows security. Does it change how Windows handles the file?

  • With Firefox 5.0.1 downloads are incomplete (.part) help!

  • Why downloads are not checked to see if they can be resumed?

    When I download something with Mozilla Firefox it doen't check to see if the download is able to RESUME that is irritating because I stop either it by mistake or internet is cut because of something stupid like the power out. It is even more unbearable, because the downloads are usually somewhere like 70% then stops. So please when your doing the next Firefox let him have a feature that tells you that, no, you don't want to cancel/pause your download and it could actually be a great browser!
    P.S this last sentence was very sarcastic because I was very angry when I wrote this. All browsers, including Internet Explorer, are USELESS!

    I doubt that if Firefox will receive this type of development any time soon, I have not seen on the list of features planned for Firefox 5, 6 or 7 to be released later this year.

    You should look into the Manager of programs of external download for a feature like this. I do not use one myself, but I saw a few users report a feature like this in their download manager program in discussions like this.

    Downloads are not saved. Windows 7 Home Premium. Refurbished.

    In IE11, use the option "Save as" and specify the location / folder you want to save the download. Once the download is complete check to see if the downloaded file is in the specified folder.

    You can also try another browser such as Firefox to see if you are able to save the downloaded file.
