Firefox creates "desktop" folder on the desktop whenever I have download

So I just installed Firefox on my new laptop, and whenever I download something, Firefox creates a "Desktop" folder on the desktop and download of the sticks in there. I used to be able to download directly on the desktop, but with this version, I can't. I tried tools > Options > save files to, but whenever I have click on the Browse button and select the location of my desired download (office under the "Favorites" section), Firefox ignores and sets the path as C:\Users\User1\Desktop\Desktop. Is it possible to fix this? It is extremely irritating.

See if it works for you as it does for me.

  1. Create a new folder on the desktop labeled downloads (or any other name),
  2. Open tools > Options-> general
  3. Downloads, click on the Browse button and select the new downloads folder that you just created.

Firefox wants a "folder name" for downloads, by specifying the 'bureau' only or won't 'Favorites '. When you try to force the issue, the name of the folder will mimic what the user is trying to specify. In your case, it created the folder "Desktop" on the desktop. Yes, it's different from previous versions of Firefox, but this change took place ago - many versions so it is not really 'new' any longer.

    Hello

    After trying for a while, I get it how to use FileConnection.mkdir () in my code.

    But I am facing a problem here. When the mkdir() is executed, it gives me FileIOException: file system error

    Here is my code that attempts to create a directory called myDir

    try {}
    FileConnection fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open ("file:///store/home/myDir", Connector.READ_WRITE);
    If (! fc.exists ()) {}
    FC.mkdir ();


    }
    } catch (Exception e) {}
    Dialog.Alert (try ());
    }

    I even tried to give the path like 'file:///store/home/myDir/' because I tried to create a directory. But it also gives the same exception.

    Please let me know if I'm doing one any mistake here.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think the problem is... BlackBerry does not allow a directory to be created in the folder /store/ the device. Because I am able to create a directory in the directory/SDCard /.

    Is this something that we cannot create a directory in the root directory of the device?

    Hello

    I'm sorry to keep posting here because I'm trying various things in my code and got to know more. But I write as soon as I get a result, so that it can be useful for those who are looking for the same thing.

    I even tried to create a directory in/store/home/user/and it works fine. So that means, we need to create our directories in the directory/store/home/user or/SDCard /.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Thank you

    Can someone explain this in detail...
    When I tried to create the folder on the memory card or memory in the camera, it gives exception as file system error...
    Is it related to any authorization or specific parameters... ??
    JDE 4.2.1.16
    8100 Simulator...
    Thanks in advance...

    Please make sure that the BlackBerry Simulator has been configured to support a micro SD card.  For this in the BlackBerry JDE by clicking on the menu Edition, by selecting Preferences, by clicking on the Simulator tab, then on the tab memory and filling of the size of the SD card and the SD card image settings.

    Hi yog123,

    The code you mentioned is valid, but I guess you make a small mistake here.

    Whenever you want to create a directory, you should give "/" after the name directory to inside the Connector.open)

    Just put "/" after the directory name "sp" in your code as shown below.

    FileConnection fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file:///SDCard/BlackBerry/pictures/sp/",Connector.READ_WRITE);
    

    Please let us know if you still find no problem.

    Thank you

  • Tablet draws a leak out of the screen directly to the left, whenever I have down Flash CC

    My TS-6608 Turcom / Oh P608N Tablet (people say that they are the same model and I tried both the original driver P608N installation and driver installation Turcom TS-6608 slightly modified for Windows 10 Turcomdrivers)

    draws a line from leaking out of the screen directly to the left whenever I have support with my pen pressure instead of my way of drawing. In Adobe Photoshop CC, it works perfectly fine. Why is this happening and how can I solve this problem?

    A line for every time I press. It is the only blue because that's the color of pen, I had chosen. This happens with the pencil tool and the Brush tool. I happen to run two monitors. Flash is open on the right monitor but I tried to swap around, drop down to a monitor, and it doesn't seem to change. I don't know if this is specific to my tablet or a problem with the program.

    It seems that there is a split second after the contact where it does not read my travels before putting in the left straight down.

    2015-08-26 20_43_05-New notification.png

    In Flash CS6, there seems to be a similar problem. When I press down, the first point shows but it stops to record the pressure down almost instantly even if I continue upward with the pen pressure. He holds the State pressed down but is not to follow the movement. With my mouse, I can then move around to draw the path, but it is not picking up the pen.

    In Flash CS3, it goes the same way as Flash CS5.5 where appears a point, it will not save the press which took place or release of the pen tip. If I move the mouse after pressing the pen, I can drag it around the same way. The problem seems to be that flash is not just reading presses pen continues but I don't know how to fix it. In other programs, it seems to work very well (Paint, Photoshop, etc.)

    Another thing I discovered is that if I have another program that is not selected in the active window flash but try to draw in flash using the Brush tool and then he reacts appropriately, but the second I drop the brush stroke and let Flash CC 2015 be the active window again it does not recognize my movements.

    I think it might be a simple driver issue.

    ANSWER:

    There seems to be a bug in the driver Turcom code. If you disconnect a monitor then you can normally draw in flash. What happens with two monitors, it's that the pen cursor position instantly repositioned correctly when you press down. Because I was drawing on my right monitor, it tended to be left (maybe because thought Flash that I worked on monitor 1 or something).

    I have an e-ticket with Turcom as a permanent solution, but for now, simply using a monitor works fine.

  • Why can't I create a folder on the desktop?

    When I right click on the open space to create a folder isn't there, or am I doing wrong?

    My office is really get crowded because I am not able to create all the folders

    The expired key may point to microsoft office / outlook and not windows, it's me.

    If you click on the Start button and then click on the list of the computer, and then look at the top left, you should see the properties of the system, at the bottom of this page, your product key should be listed for windows, not office well.

    As long as you can now make a folder and move your files now :)

    The right click menu can be altered and other options added as brüse and ronnie described, I do not know how to do this personally, about the options in this area are concerned.

    If the entry that you have given in how to add options to the menu of these two did not work, I tend to think it's a restriction of user account or a standard account with administrator rights.

    Or you do not have administrator account.

  • I'm ready to get Firefox because on several occasions, Notepad opens whenever I have to shoot anything and at no time have I ever used the Web Developer tool

    Have used Firefox for many years on several computers. On the Home Office whenever you need to CAP a letter, notebook open instead. Every time!

    It is only on this one computer, none of the others.

    I completely uninstalled, cleaned and purged Firefox from this computer several times. I ran several virus checks. I did reset the Firefox multiple on several times.

    Yesterday, I uninstalled completely the slightest bribe related to Firefox I could find on the system, made a clean to get rid of the hidden files and duplicate system, and with what I was hoping it was a clean system, reinstalled the latest version of FF, same problem.

    WHY Notepad comes up whenever I hit the Shift key?

    Somehow the developer tools and notebook always see and in the end, the problems start again.

    Hello Mark,
    I can understand your frustration with this problem - especially after you run on this issue after you have reset your computer too.
