Firefox won't download files - open new page and just stop whenclicking on the icon to download or address.

Suddenly, Firefox download a file from a URL or clickable icon. This seemed occur after installation of HideMyAss. When I click on a download address, or an icon, the page changes, (as opposed to simply from the download) is trying to load (status bar goes to halfway) and then nothing, it just sits there. If I try to download a torrent file, the same thing happens, even if I can download it using option + click. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Doug

Hello

Maybe you can disable HideMyAss to see if this is the cause of the problem you are having?

  • Holding still to open new pages, or not at all

    I have used Firefox for years, and it has always been THE best browser. However, the last two versions have shared a problem, and it has me Firefox hunts. First of all, regardless of the settings, Firefox insists on the last page of opening, rather than the Google News page that I said open the preferences page... * watch * the good Google News page, but Firefox keep coming back to this that last opened. It's annoying, but not a game-breaker.

    What, however, is that Firefox has become incredibly slow in opening * any * page, if we open the page at all. When I try to go to a web page, it seems he's trying to open this page, but nothing happens. I get "loading" page and the url is, but that's all. Sometimes, after a few minutes, the page loads slowly; most often, Firefox is simply there, no error message, no "Firefox is not responding" or anything else. I have the latest version of Firefox, and the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Opera. all three of * these * browsers instantly open new pages and go to the appropriate home page, by the way.

    I've completely uninstalled Firefox several times and removed all traces of it that I could find on my computer, nothing helps. I would * love * returning to Firefox, as always is for me the best browser, but with the way it works, is not an option.

    I tried every single suggested "Difficulty" in the Mozilla support pages, and neither did some good. Any other suggestions?

    Also, could check you the custom connection settings? You can do it in the dialog box Options here:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced > tab mini network > button "settings".

    The default value of 'Use system proxy settings' should piggyback on your Windows/IE 'LAN' settings, but you can also try 'No proxy' to see if it has an impact.

  • Firefox still crashing when I open Facebook page.

    Firefox still crashing when I open Facebook page and crash that appear just after the report is in Greek (?!) I have an English version of Firefox.

    Hey Pacovilla,.

    Do you by chance have the LastPass Manager as an add-on of Firefox?
    (You can click the icon settings at the top right and choose Add ons).

    If you do, try to disable it, or from Firefox with no Add-ons to see if it works.

    This add-on seems to cause problems with Facebook on Firefox.

    When I click on 'File' and then 'new' it keeps open a new file as a layer and not a background. The RGB mode is selected.

    With the new files to open as a layer and not a background, I'm not able to create multiple layers and it won't let me convert the background layer.

    How what happened. I've used PS yesterday and had no problem. Today, my computer did updates mandatory day and now this.

    Yes. You use the option of Pixel of the Ellipse tool. He's so setting pixels as it is supposed to do without creating a layer.

    Choose the option to the form:

  • Opening new page a specific image

    I'm still learning Action Script, but I have a problem with the writing of the complete script to combing navigate to the new URL and gotoAndPlay. Specifically what I want to do is to use a button that when clicked will open a new page and then start to play my Flash movie to a certain slice on the Timeline. I used buttons to navigate to a new URL and used the gotoAndPlay (); command to play a certain range, both succeeded, but when I combine the two I have problems. What is happening, this is the new page loads correctly and goes to the specific image but then opens the browser in a new window with the movie plays from the beginning. The sequence in the correct Web page plays but only if I close only the current page, in other words, what I'm trying to achieve is running, but in the background.

    I have attached the code I tried if this is useful. Thank you very much.

    Very grateful for your help and comments. You are quite right that the sequence should be addressed therefore what I did was click on the button load the new URL, perform animations, and then play the sequence of the film. With the help of "_self" meant that the accumulation of the browser windows has been eliminated, more sequence you suggested mean that the momentary pause is only evident at the time the button is clicked.

    What all this means is that the interaction of the user works in line with my goals. The easiest way to get a similar result would have been to load the full text and then hide and show the parts appropriate to the page as you suggest, but I feel that this method would be only good for the time, being as I expect the pages/content to grow in size.

    The key is the problem solved, thanks to you.

  • Firefox does not load pages and said "Stopped" in the lower left corner of the screen.

    Latest FF and XP Pro. 2.4 Ghz Celeron processor, 1 GB of RAM. FF will work for awhile then it will stop loading pages and say 'Stop' in the lower left corner of the screen. Sometimes I can refresh and the page loads, but 95 out of 100 times I can keep refreshing and it will say "stopped". Alternatively, the page will be partially load and then quit and say 'stop. ' I disabled IPv6 and DNS Prefetching and he always does. IE does the same. VERY frustrated. My last PC started doing this and I've finally upgraded to a newer version and it was fine for a few months, but began to do the same thing recently. Arghhh... Thank you!

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    is with my last computer a few months ago

    You, me and many others (from discussions throughout the net) have this same problem. I had a few glances at Mozilla, take a look, they couldn't find a problem or a solution.

    Here's what I found works - the problem arises on me when I upgraded to Firefox 3.63. 3.63 FF of uninstall and install 3.59. You can always download until the end of June or July I think.

    My problems went away with 3.59. Seems to only affect users of Windows as Mac Firefox 3.63 works very well.

    Found a few discussions pointing to ZoneAlarm Firewall time-out managers and some download tools. I have ZoneAlarm, so I don't think that was the cause, just another victim.

    I wish Mozilla would pull the plug on 3.63, repackage as 3.64 3.59 and go back to the drawing board until they find out what is wrong.

  • Text flow create a delay when an overflow creates a new page, which prevents you from reading the page number, in error

    Hi all!

    I create a script to automatically generate a catalogue of photos; the idea is to prepare a master document with a text block in the master full of self flowing, then insert images with their legend by the script, let the system automatically creates the following pages when necessary, by a single stream of text.

    My catalog is divided into sections, each represented by a different master spread; So I know what page I work when the script put there a picture just to link the current page in the master spread appropriate.

    To simplify what I got most of my script here, using text instead of images:

    / * load a master document, only containing a block of empty text in the master spread, connected to the main text stream * /

    var doc = app.open (new File("~/Desktop/mySampleDoc.indd"));

    / * I'm working on the story, thinking that every time that the textframe of first page will be full, we will create another block of text on the next page (automatically created) * /

    var history = doc.pages [0] .textFrames [0] .parentStory;

    / * now, I put a few lines of text in history, pending the creation of a new on the first page will be complete * /

    for (var i = 0; i < 100; i ++) {}

    / * This is the following line: * /.

    .silence story.insertionPoints [-1] = "This is line n." + i + "\r";

    / * here, I want to know what page is the line just created (the error is generated here just in the creation of the new page + block of text) */

    Thispage = story.insertionPoints [-1] .parentTextFrames [0].parentPage.documentOffset;

    / * and now I print the page number * /.

    story.insertionPoints.item(-1).contents = "current page:"+ thispage + "\r"; ".

    }

    The big problem is: when the first block of text is full and overflow is generated, a new page with a new block of text from the main text flow (as the master spread) is generated. but it seems my script requests the page number before the new page with the new text block is born and an error is given.

    It seems that the script goes too fast regarding the creation of the new page.

    If I remove the line thispage = story.insertionPoints [-1] .parentTextFrames [0].parentPage.documentOffset; everything is ok.

    I tried to introduce a delay up to 3 seconds with no effect.

    I tried also to view or zoom in the request of page number, thought new page to force the system to wait for the page is truly born, also without effect (by the way, I wasn't able to view the page in adding the script of the text!).

    Can someone help me?

    A big thank you to everyone

    Roberto
