Firefox is not ask where to save downloads

Removed by OP

You should never just download an exe and run without it looking first of all for the problems. Trusted sites are okay, but others...

  • Firefox does not ask me to save paswords even if I ticked the box "remember passwords" in the Security tab

    Firefox does not ask me to remind passwords even if I ticked the box "Remember passwords" in the Security tab.

    Hey groveman21,

    Have you looked at the section of the Base names of users and passwords are not saved ? There are lots of good information in there.

    If it's only a particular site, you experience problems with, you can also delete cookies from this site in order to make the site you not forget if you have created a remember me cookie by visiting to Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies" that there could be a "don't remember" cookie for this site.

    Hope this helps!

  • Firefox 20.0.1 - option 'Always ask where to save the files' not 'Downloads' folder not going.

    Firefox 20.0.1 on WinXP SP3.

    Previously, when I always selected "ask where to save files" Firefox would start from the default download folder - it I had shortcuts to locations which usually to record on.

    Now Firefox insists on starting from the root of C: - and I don't know how to change this behavior.

    I would like it to start from the default download folder it used to. This is the place where I got these shortcuts and I do NOT wish to place these shortcuts to the root of C:.

    go to Subject: config find (or copy/paste form here) browser.download.folderList right-click on it, select modify and change the value to 2. Release of firefox, restart it and check again.

    Thank you

  • Firefox does not ask to save tabs, windows and exit

    I've done everything suggested in this article:
    https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/Firefox+does+not+ask+to+save+tabs+an...
    In 'Options' settings are ok.
    I don't have the extensions/themes. And the problem is still there on the safe mode.
    Out of the two files mentioned as maybe corrupted, I deleted formhistory.sqlite but the sessionstore.js file is not in the profile directory, the closing of Firefox (as the article suggests... it is there when Firefox is open)

    What is the start setting?

    Tools > Options > general > startup: 'when Firefox starts '.

    In Firefox 3, you don't get popup "Save and quit" dialog box if you choose Tools > Options > general > startup: "When Firefox starts": "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

    If this option is selected then your pages will be already reopened the next time.

    To get this pop up dialog box, select one of the other options (display my home page, display a blank page).

    You can reset the preferences of warning on the subject: the configuration via the context menu page.

    browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries

  • Firefox does not ask me to change a password stored in the local password database when I change it to a HTTP SVN repo that authenticates via LDAP

    Access to multiple repositories served via HTTP SVN. Authentication is done via LDAP. Firefox is able to save passwords for pop up dialog boxes provided by the SVN server for authentication. Periodically, I change my password for LDAP in Active Directory. When I access the SVN rest once again, I have change the password is entered in the dialog box, but Firefox do not ask me to update. Earlier (FF 3.x), Firefox asked me to update the password in the stored passwords. With FF 7.0.1 it does not prompt me for that and retains the old password.

    Original description:

    Let's say that I kept the password for some sites. As time goes by, I change the password on this site. Now, the next time I connect, password manager offers to enter my old information. I type in my password and enter the site. Earlier (FF 3.x), Firefox asked me to update the password in the stored passwords. With FF 7.0.1 it does not prompt me for that and retains the old password.

    OK, I feel like a fool. Turns out that the HTTP Server was in the list of exceptions, but under his own 192.168.X.X IP address rather than the hostname of our SVN server resolved internally. I missed which I was looking for the host name. Once I removed the IP address of the exceptions list entry, the problem has been resolved.

  • 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.
    I am running Windows XP Home Edition.  [By today standard T - Rex, but it's the only one I use for office work, no video editing work.]

    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.

  • 14 Firefox forgets where to save downloads

    Firefox version: 14.0.1
    O/s: Windows XP Edition family version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600

    When I try to record a series of image files on the same site in a destination directory using a right click > Save Image under..., frequently (but at random intervals) Firefox forgets where the record of the previous file.
    I can correctly save multiple files in the expected folder, then find that the Save As dialog box has forgotten the target folder. Sometimes, it restores the default download folder, but sometimes, it comes in a folder that I used for downloads (on a different Web site) days. It can then return to a different folder, I also used for downloads (from a third party site), also days ago.
    Occasionally, I navigate to the folder target for each of a succession of downloaded files, then Firefox starts to remember where files go - don't forget again, later in the series. This means that I have to pay attention to what makes Firefox and wasting time check which folder he thinks is the target, rather than to focus on the task, I'm in show.
    I don't remember meeting this stupid behavior and worse in previous versions of Firefox. So far, I noticed only when you use the right click > Save Image under... but cannot download some he did not appear with other methods.

    The current versions of Firefox don't forget not the directory download, based on the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder can be selected if he has not selected a folder for this server before download.

    You can disable this feature to not forget the download via the prefs directory Boolean browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite on the topic: config page.

    The pref browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite does not exist by default (it's a hidden pref), you will need to create it.

    Create a new pref Boolean with the name browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite and set it to false.

    You may need to clear the "Site preferences" via clear recent history to delete already stored data.

    The classic way is to select always ask me where to save files in the Options tab. To open it, click on the menu button at the top right and select Options, the corresponding feature is in the general Panel, downloadssection.

  • Firefox has not been started. I downloaded a new. the icon is crossed out. How can I fix?

    March 25, 2011
    I'm on a Mac OS X (power pc)
    After rebooting my computer today. Firefox has not been started. I clicked on the icon, it has begun to initiate and then stopped before that something happened.

    To try to solve the problem, I trashed the application and downloaded a new. He gave me a message: "the Firefox application cannot be launched-10661."

    I retried the download and the second time, the Firefox application icon has been crossed out. It's a circle with a bar slash on it. Same message arrives.
