Firefox 33.1 forgotten by site save files

Since a recent update (I believe to be 33.1), Firefox don't remember more where I had saved from the pages or images by site and instead watch the last save location set.

Discovered that browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite has become sort of a string instead of a Boolean value. Juggling it in prefs.js did the trick.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

  • When I select "keep without history", firefox will restart but does not save it.

    I use the french version so maybe that some translations are not correct. what I'm trying to do is to forefow delete or simply not save history after that I go to a page. It is said that firefow must restart to save the change, I agree, and when it restarts, nothing is recorded. I also tried to say not "restart" with no effect different however it should work, but as explained, this isn't. I can also change the page that opens when I run firefox for the same reasons: I save 'open a blank page', say ok, the option page closes, but when nothing opened changed again.

    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.

  • Problem with the difficulty of opening the old tabs settings and save files when a new session is opened

    Hello
    Since 2 weeks I have a problem: I always set my settings to restore the previous session with all my tabs and I choose that Firefox asks me where I want to save my downloaded files. Now, every time I close Firefox and I open it again, it is not taken into account and 3 tabs are opened: Firefox, Google, and thanks to install Zotero! I spare it, but every time it opens these tabs and not man. Ditto for saving the files. It goes back automatically to open the start page and save my file in the downloads. Even if I spare, it's the same.
    I've desinstalled CCleaner (I thought it might be that), but nothing changes!
    Help, please. Thank you very much!
    Martha

    Here's what I'll try:

    • Reset Firefox - that should solve the problem, but it will change the settings like where files are downloaded and what tabs open at startup back to their default values.
    • Then change your download and back session restore preferences to how you like them.

    Here's how:

    1. Go to help > troubleshooting information.
    2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.
    5. Open the window of options - tools > Options > general
    6. In the general Panel set Firefox to open your tabs from last time and set Firefox to ask you where to save downloads.
    7. Click OK

    That should do it. Let me know if it worked.

    Thank you

  • I select save files, but when I close the browser and open it again, he was always ask me where to save files.

    I select save files, but when I close the browser and open it again, he was always ask me where to save files. Whenever I closed and re-opened my browser it goes back to ask me where to save files.
    Help, please

    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 (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

    If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

    If you like Advanced SystemCare software that could restore some files from older versions to protect files against the changes and then check their settings or uninstall this software.

  • Firefox 15 reports from ALL sites as not approved

             You have asked Firefox to connect

    firmly to www.mozilla.org, but we cannot confirm that your connection is secure.

             Normally, when you try to connect securely,

    sites will present a reliable identification to prove that you

    This happens for every site I go to http https edu/com/net/org. I add exceptions and I can get around on a site for a few hours, then I must add exceptions even for mozilla.org

    Please try to go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - see file & delete or rename the file cert8.db in the window that opens. Then, restart the browser (this will regenerate the file in question once again).

    the problem still persists after this step? If Yes please try going to https://support.mozilla.org once again, select "I understand the risks" on the error page & "add an exception..." ».

You can see the downloads folder path near the entrance "save files to" around the middle of the window. If the full path is not visible, click "Browse". Here you can also change the location where Firefox is save downloads. For example you can replace your removable storage if the unit is installed and always available.

  • Download the file is missing. Not asked where I would like to save file, only the 'Save' button appears

    When you download a file, I ask me where to save the file.  He asked me just to save it or not.  Then, after you save the file, I try to find the file, but it is not in the usual directories when I download files.  I tried to download from CNET.  This just started today.  Don't remember any recent downloads either.
    That's happened? It is not under My Documents to my profile or my Local Settings\Temp directory either.  I did a search for the file name, even in hidden folders.

    Hi WingersMedia,

    1. What web browser do you use to download the files?
    2. Are you having a similar problem with all files or any download specific file only?
    3. Are you able to download and save files from other sites?

    I suggest that you try to download other files on the same site and check if it works.

    I suggest you check that the recording location of the file when you are prompted to save the file and check later to this place.

    Also check out the link below to put on with similar problem and check if it is useful if you are using Internet explorer as your web browser.
