  Formerly the download window showed the State of the download in process and retained a list of files downloaded until I deleted from the list.

• The download window appears no information since the last update of Firefox

  I had to create a new account to help just to get here.

  Your navig was fucking up like crazy since the last update. I had nothing else to connection problems in several sites. Sites would connect at random, then I wouldn'; t be able to reconnect. I tried to make an account on a new site and had to try 11 times crazy until he has known. and just now, when I tried to ask a question of troubleshooting, my username and password would not work. So I sent a request for password reset. Nothing happened. I sent at least FIVE password reset requests. None of them went through. When I tried to enter a different user name, thinking maybe that was the problem, as soon as I re-typed and clicked any where outside the name space, he would return to the name that was already there. What the hell!

  I didn't still the problem, I first want to contact you about!

  The download window no longer works. I download a file, I click on "Downloads" to see how long it will be, I don't see anything. Gross, white, white. And Yes, I know that some files download so fast, they're gone until I open the window. I mean great videos megabytes and disc images. No indication that they are downloading at all.

  All of this has happened since 19.0 installed. I need to disable the updates in the future to keep the browser working properly!

  Well, I found out what was going on. It turns out it was a confrontation with an add-on after all:

  http://update.DownloadHelper.NET/index.html?TS=1361662188

  So it makes sense why it persists even after reset and reinstalling. Sorry I lost all the time, but I enjoyed your trying to find solutions.

  Although I hope that the problems I've had of logging in and out of sites disappear soon too.

• Firefox stucks for a while at the launch

  Hello!

  I have just unstinalled Office 2013 Office365 subscription.
  Since then, Firefox stucks for a few seconds when started (cannot type or interact with Firefox for 4-5 seconds).

  I completely deleted Firefox, deleted the profile folders and registry keys and install a new copy.
  The presists still problem.
  I launched Firefox mode without failure and the problem also appears here.

  What I did then was "reset Firefox' default settings. Then, the problem seems to be gone, but on the next launch of Firefox, the issue is back.

  All my plugins are set to "never activate. I removed the two .dll files for Microsoft Office Plugin too for testing purposes, but none of them solve the problem.

  Thanks for your help!
  See you soon,.

  Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.

  It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

• When I download something on the Web, the "Downloads" window opens, but that the window remains empty. Before it used to show at least the name of the file and I was able to open the file in the "Downloads" window Is it possible to recover this feature?

  I am running Windows XP that is updated to the latest version (which I think could be Service Pack 3, but not positive.) Mozilla Firefox is version 5.0. I tend to use Google as my search engine, so most of the stuff I download comes through sites found through Google, which is also updated.

  At some point in the past (there are maybe a few versions) when I want to download a file from the Internet, the "downloads" window opens and in the window would display the name of the file I got was download or came from download. I think I used to be able to then click on the file name and opens the file (or the Setup file if necessary to launch the new program). I am currently using Firefox 5.0 (screen "On Firefox" said that it is up to date) and when I download a file or document, the "Downloads" window appears on the screen as it has always in the past, but it remains empty, that is, nothing is displayed in the download area. I don't remember to make configuration changes, etc., that may have caused the window to remain a Virgin, but I could be wrong. I know how to find the items I downloaded (My Documents / downloads) and can generally guess what might be the name of the downloaded file, but it was much easier when something (anything) appeared in the downloads window.

  I'd like someone to tell me about a simple solution for this. I'm ready to be pretty embarrassed that I did something I should not have.

  In the Firefox Options / confidentiality be sure 'Remember download history"is checked. To see all the options on this Panel, "Firefox will be" must be set to "use the custom settings for history".

• After a download, but only when the download tab is opened, Firefox crashes.

  The following message is displayed in a text box "WARNING: the Script does not": "a script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding." You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script ends. "Script: chrome://global/content/bindings/richlistbox.xml:358. The download window can be opened in a tab in the background and this same error occurs, or Firefox can even be reduced with the download either on top or in the background tab. The error window appears under other software and sits on the desk, often invisible. Sometimes, but not always, all of the computer may hang on it. The problem is particularly bad, when I have Firefox and Photoshop CS2 both race. At the same time that happened, Firefox also began to refuse to play flv (YouTube) in full screen videos. The computer is a Dell Inspiron older with a Pentium M 1600 Mhz processor and a gig of ram. I am running Windows XP Professional with service pack 3.

  This is the Download Manager Tweak. I was getting this problem from 2012-04-14 and have not either of the other two addons that suspected a_grush.

  For me, the problem was * primarily * bypassed with DMT put the download tool in a tab instead of its own window or the sidebar. I even made a permanent app tab. The 'error' message still sometimes arises especially when you go to the downloads tab.

  I have * some * worked around the bug when I experimented with the downloads tool in the sidebar. The false error always does appear quite often in this arrangement, especially if you try to interact with the sidebar, reloading for example a transfer failed, but much less often then when it was in it's own window, which caused the almost constant "errors." That said, the sidebar function is essentially useless anyway, because you can't see the full file name, nor any useful buttons, as the reload-this-download button.

  To get rid of the message 'error' entirely, get rid of it entirely DMT.

  For me, even the few dialogues pop up in the mode tab were too, and I've disinstalled DMT.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  40GBs is the minimum; who will be vey quickly useless.

  Recovery partition would have been photographed by the manufacturer of the computer hard disk and you can't replicate that.

  You can use all of the hard disk space available to install Vista on.

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
