Firefox creates a Documents shortcut in the taskbar when I download files

Firefox can create a new shortcut of 'Documents' in my taskbar every time I have to download a file.
I remove it, and then it does it again. How to stop?

This has happened

A few times a week

== A month or two it is

OK, that has helped to solve. Temporarily, I changed the setting to "back up files on" and changed the folder ' save files to "to:

Documents C:\Users\My

Then I reset the downloads to 'Always ask me where to save files.'

Not sure why it creates a new folder for an option greyed out, but at least it no longer occurs.

Thank you!

  • Firefox creates the new icon from the taskbar when already pins. How to return to activate the pinned icon?

    After the 4.0.1 update, Windows now creates a new icon in the taskbar instead of activate one who is already pinned there. This does not happen on other computers I've used.

  • How to drag a shortcut from the taskbar in Windows 7?

    I have already in XP to create a shortcut for a network on the desktop drive and then create an icon with a program icon for the associated drawing letter that drive (e.g., P for projects), F for finance, etc. and to associate this icon with the shortcut.  Then I could drag and drop this shortcut right in the task bar and voila - a big letter indicating the network drive I could then single click on my desired disc.  It's simple, fast and convenient.  Now, in Windows 7, I can't and drag that shortcut on the taskbar.  Anyone know of a workaround?

  • Strange glitch Visual on the taskbar when using Firefox

    Hello

    I feel a strange glitch Visual on the taskbar when using firefox.

    Please take a look at this short video because it shows the problem, it's almost impossible to show in pictures.

    https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12595174/VIDEO0016.3gp

    I use firefox on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit v36.0.1. Video card is an ASUS R9 280 X using the latest drivers from AMD 14.12 Catalyst Omega Software.

    Motherboard is an ASUS M5A88 with 16 GB of ram and a processor of 6300 FX.

    It is a new construction that I have implemented in the last 24 hours, and this behavior was not present on the system using the same version of windows, firefox and even map chart and drivers. But on another card mother and CPU. Previous Board of Directors has been
    M4A79XTD EVO with a Phenom II X 4 955BE.

    The glitching does not occur when it is on the desktop and firefox is closed. It will not occur when you use IE - 64 nor does it when I am using the steam software or any Explorer windows/opening files.

    All the motherboard drivers are installed correctly, the integrated graphics card is disabled in the BIOS. I disabled the settings of firefox for hardware acceleration, smooth scrolling and text... to see if it was the question. It wasn't.

    I'd appreciate any help to solve this... Really, I don't want to use a different browser but it's bad enough and quite distracting to really annoy me, and I don't see any alternative.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi jscher2000

    I was about to post a reply, because a friend suggested that maybe that's a rendering of issue rather than a firefox one video card even if it's strange how it affected firefox only. I didn't have a chance to test it on Chrome as it is a new construction and I don't want to install the software, I do not use.

    I went to the Manager of catalyst and had a glance to the settings. I changed something, but no help... I then started to make a simple change and test until I found that the activation "gpu up-scaling" in the properties of digital flat screens has solved the problem.

    I am now free twinkle

    Thanks for your quick response however.

    How to create a document and insert the words and/or art on both sides of the page

    How to create a document and insert the words and/or art on both sides of the page

    You create a document by using an application of word processor like Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect or OpenOffice Writer.  Think of it as a broad a page roll.

    When you print the document, you can print all pages of the document on one sheet of paper (the normal default value), or you can print on both sides of a sheet of paper.

    Some printers are capable of automatic double-sided printing.  With others, you print all the odd pages and then take the stack of paper, turn upside down and put it back into the printer to print all pages.  You need either to read your printer manual, or experiment a bit to determine if you need to re - organize the first last pages before printing the second side.

  • Pin a shortcut to the taskbar

    I just installed Windows 7 7100 on SBS2003 R2 32 bit workstation.  Everything seems simple with two exceptions...

    1. I am trying to pin a shortcut to the taskbar, but when I I drag it to the task bar there is a red circle with a bar diagonally and it won't PIN.  When the application is running and I click right to "pin to taskbar" the only options I have are to "close the window.

    2. is there a way to remove, hide or remove a program running in the taskbar (Windows Messenger for example)?

    Thank you very much.

    My understanding from what I've read of Microsoft... shortcuts, folders and disks can be pinned. The icon must be associated with an exe file. You may not remove or hide a program running in the taskbar either. Jonathan Matthis aka "7test" on MSN QnA

  • Adding shortcut to the taskbar

    Hi all

    Is it possible to add a shortcut to the taskbar without using thinreg? I can add to the list of desktop computers and the program but it will not appear on the taskbar, currently I have this line in my package.ini:

    Shortcuts = % programs %; %D esktop %; %APPDATA%\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

    I don't know if the part in bold is a legitimate place, because usually that's where the natively installed IE8 version would have a shortcut. Should I provide a different path location?

    Our VDI desktop environment is Windows 7.

    Kind regards

    Ross

    Ross,

    According to my understanding, ThinApp can be only if deployed PIN using MSI and does not for streaming from a network share.

    2. is the computer is joined to the domain controller?
     
    You can not start any application on a client computer that is joined to the domain controller. When you try to start this type of application, you receive an error message similar to the following:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    This can also occur if the user account is damaged. If the computer is not connected to a domain controller, try the following steps.
    1. connect to another user account and create a new user account to fix the damaged user account.

  • When I save a shortcut on the desktop, I have 2 files.

    When I save a shortcut on the desktop, I have 2 files, the short cut and a second, the shortcut "files." If I delete the files, two shortcuts disappeared. Happened only a few months. Does anyone have a solution?

    I've been using Firefox. I click with the right button on the Web page, click Save as and save it on the desktop. I think that its code html in format "page"full Web", only other options are"html only", which translates to lose all the formatting and images,"text files"and"all files ". Thanks for the reply.

    I would like to be able to rely on "Skype" > "Close", then the program would close and not only reduce the window - instead of having to click on the notification list, click on the Skype logo and press "quit".

  • File extension is missing when you download files from the web

    I just got a new PC with preinstalled Windows7. From day one, I have the problem that when I download files from the internet while you have no extension, so when I try to run them, told me that they do not have an associated program. I then rename and add the missing extension and all is well. But it's very annoying to have to do every time :(

    I come home from work and now everything works fine - even my webcam which worked yesterday either. Just shows how much it means to close and start fee in time ;)

    Seems that my problem has healed itself, but thanks for the help that was offered to me.
