Downloads of Firefox "failed." Have reset FF, experienced "download problems" troubled doc and uninstalled/reinstalled FF w/o chance. Safari is able to download.

Recently, I am unable to download anything in FF. Briefly, it is as if the download, but the file is corrupted and the other to the file in the DL Manager, it just says: "failed."

I tried resetting FF. No luck.
Then I tried all steps "download problems" support doc. No luck.
I tried with all disabled add-ons. No luck.
In desperation, I searched "Firefox" and moved two folders called Firefox, enforcement and a .plist file in the trash (always here) and redownloaded Firefox and reinstalled. No luck.

If I click on a .pdf file will be visible, but it will not download. It is not just .pdfs that fail, it is any file I try and download.

  • Why not Firefox 23 show the bar menu, bookmarks bar or dock despite uninstall/reinstall, reboots, etc., well than Safari works well?

    FF worked fine until today, when all of a sudden it stopped display of the menu bar, bookmarks, navigation and even my dock! All I get is a display full page of Google. It happened when I went to the top to check the history - got the beachball, typical of FF and the history, I found. So I had to leave FF and open it again, and the page is screwed in place, that's what I got. FF gave me a lot of problems over the years, but it's brand new. I work on my Macbook Air friend, do not know what version of FF she had, but I uninstalled (by trashing it), restarted and downloaded the latest FF. same problem. I did a disk utility repair permissions, no effect. I'll have to do to Safari because there is literally zero controls in FF - not even a place for a URL. I don't know when FF 23 came out, so I don't know if that's what she already had. Of course, troubleshooting information is not available, nor 'assumptions about your browser and operating system' works. It's OS X 10.6.8.

    Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command + SHIFT + F).

  • Please help, I have reset the Clone Stamp tool in CS5 and it's always the same.

    Hello

    I run Photoshop CS5 on my Mac and I have not had problems since I installed Photoshop originally. Yesterday, the Clone Stamp went crazy mad and starts to move the frame surrounding whenever I chose a source. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, plug-ins installed and reset tools (reset several times). Nothing has changed and I have some urgent changes to make. Please help, thanks.

    PS, I have read several forums that were kind of related to this problem and nothing I've read has helped. Sorry if it's repetitive other problems for everyone.

    If you go to window > Clone Source and choose Clipped, isn't that better?

  • I have the same error message on Google & Shaw and BC issues, but I also use Safari accessing google through Shaw is the problem with Firefox?

    The problem seems to lie between Firefox & Google talk to each other. I also use Safari as a browser, also liked to Shaw and don't have no problem with Google Mail, (cards and other sites which now belongs to Google.)

    This is caused by the network of Shaw, they are working on a resolution, but in the meantime the fix above will work. After Shaw solves their problem be sure to reset this value by default is that it is a safety device, you do not want allowed.

  • I can't update to 19.0.2 and have lost the icon in my dock file and app. I am at a loss. I prefer FF to other browsers.

    I usually have my updates installed automatically, but this time he asked me, I told it to install, and it took hours and never finished to download. I have reset FF according to your help article and I now get the "the opereation could not be completed because the item Firefox.app is I use. When I close FF and try to install the update is says that I do not have authorization to ensure that the lock is open and file sharing is on. It still does not work. I need help. I don't know what to do. It never happened all these years to have. I'm on Intel iMac and use Lion 10.7.5.

    If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.

  • Hello! I downloaded a plug-in that slow down Firefox, even after that I removed it. I have reset Firefox, during reset my computer went black. Now, it will not be open. Help!

    I downloaded a plugin (module) of Facebook on my toolbar and it made my whole computer run slowly. I disabled the add-on, removed the toolbar, and everything was always super slow. I went troubleshooting and press reset firefox. It was in the process of resetting, and my screen went black. I thought it was just the screensaver, but after pressing the space bar, screen did not return. I have made a difficult exit on my Mac and restarted my computer. On my desk, there are now a record that says "Old Firefox Data". When I try to open firefox I get a message stating "unable to load your firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. I tried to reinstall firefox, for example, to have the same result. Help!

    The name of the file should not be mozilla-bin, but firefox-bin

  • Firefox has corrupted the file download. Fix to reset or uninstal, more problem happened

    This hours 5 all started there, when I tried to download a file from my school site .doc, but Microsoft Word open with "file conversion" options and preview is filled with unreadable codes. I used Nightly 64-bit on a 64-bit Windows 8.1 system newly installed (about a week ago after I upgraded my ssd).

    1. I tried to open other .exl on the same site, but Microsoft Excel can open not saying at all that the file is corrupted. I used IE 11 to download the same files and it worked perfectly. Problem with every night she looked like.

    2. I have reset every night, then tried to download the same file again, does not. I tried safemode disable all addons and try to download the .doc file. He worked surprisly!. So it seems like a problem with the addon. Then I disabled all addons manually restarted again but tested does not. I was really frustrated at that point so I think that my night has been hacked by malware or hidden plugins.

    3 uninstalled every night, then I cleaned all the files on the left with Ccleaner. I checked the full scan with Windows security essential; Download malware cleaner "Malwarebytes". Yes, some malware such as files have been detected and cleaned.

    4. downloaded waterfox 64-bit, but now several problems. It remains impossible to download the file to .doc or exl format now. The right click menu does not appear on a Web page, image or highlighted text. CTRL + click on a link to open the link in a new tab does not work, nothing happens. I try to reset or reboot to safemode, Nope! the Help menu is gone, quite clear!

    In short, I wouldn't reinstall my OS for that matter. I wish I could find some remover software that detects the virus of firefox pluggins. I don't want to try the 32-bit version of firefox for this problem.

    Thank you.

    If Waterfox works as Firefox, commune of the plugin, you may need to change some settings of the plugin. Here's what I suggest:

    Open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins.

    Then check the setting of activation for each plugin in the list:

    • For plugins that must run around the world (such as security software), the value 'ask to activate '.
    • For plugins that all websites are allowed to use, the value 'ask to activate '.
    • For plugins that NO sites should use, or which seem not site-specific (e.g. leads), the value "never activate.
    • Let other plugins on 'ask to activate '.

    Then go out and repeat Waterfox upwards to see if that helps with the right-click context menus.

  • I have reset firefox have now no menu bar and pressingf alt does not work

    I have reset firefox reported he turned slowly and had other problems at the start. Now, I have no menu bar and the alt button does nothing. Restored to the comp hoping that it can be useful but it did not. Any help would be appreciated.
    TIA.

    Hi, first try restarting Firefox. If this does not work Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start mode safe" - does NOT REFRESH!

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    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. This might help others with the same problem.
