How can I close Firefox to download Yahoo Messenger on my computer?

I recently tried to download/reinstall Yahoo Messenger on my computer, but about 80% download received a message saying that I had to sign or close Firefox to continue the operation. However, I can't find a way to close Firefox.

Look at the upper right of the Firefox window. The X in the
red zone. close the window that it is on.

Press < Alt > or < F10 > to display the toolbar.
Then select File > Exit.

  • How can I close Firefox with several tabs without message

    It drives me crazy. I'm using Firefox on Linux Mint 17 40.0.3 to the top of a tower Dell Latitude I5. If I have more than one tab open and try to close it, I get a message:

    Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time, it opens?

    I click on "Do not ask next time" and "exit". He does not save this preference.

    So I did some research, went up to about: config and change the following parameters to false:

    browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab; false
    browser.tabs.warnOnClose; false
    browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs; false
    browser.tabs.warnOnOpen; false

    but this message still comes up. Is this a bug or a feature? How can I get this preference to stay?

    Thanks in advance.

    If browser.showQuitWarning is set to true, you will get this warning message.
    You must toggle the pref to false with a double click to disable this warning.

  • How can I make Firefox stop downloads for a virus scan?

    Whenever I download something, especially the smaller .torrent files, Firefox or .jpg scan virus download. In theory, it's a good thing. In practice, at least for me, that means my browser is blocked as long as 2 minutes (average is closer to 10 seconds) while it scans the file that I have ZERO concern about a virus in the first place. Now, it is quite possible that because I'm not a nerd of the game my computer is 'slow' by elitist standards (2 GHz is slow? 2 MB of RAM is slow?), but that is neither here nor there; I want this 'service' gone and I want it gone now.

    You can disable the Firefox application for the downloaded file to scan.

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press to enter.
    2. Accept the warning message that appears, this will then bring up a list of preferences.
    3. In the filter box, type scan
    4. Double-click on the
      browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone

      preference to change its value false

    This procedure stops just Firefox asking that the file is analyzed, your antivirus software is likely to scan downloaded files, especially executable files. If you want to disable this analysis (not recommended), you should check the settings of your antivirus software.

  • How can I find where my download is stored on my computer.

    Yesterday, I downloaded Microsoft Office Pro 2010 only to find out that I had to update my Windows Vista to run it.  So I upgraded my Vista with Service Pack 1 and installed.  But now I find it on my computer where Microsoft Office Pro is registered on the I can complete its insulation.

    Help, please!  Thank you!

    Usually, the default path for saving a downloaded file would be: my computer/C:/my documents/downloads and it should be there! Attention to the new virus releases... Keep you up-to-date anti-virus/malware software, at least twice a week. Try to get a step ahead instead of waiting to take a hit and then take action!

  • How can I force Firefox to download mp3 files and NOT play?

    Hi guys,.

    I couldn't change the settings of Firefox in this way, that it does not play mp3 files at all (in any kind of player), but allows to decide what with them for example to download the file.

    What I actually did:

    - changed at settings, that I want a dialog or download any file type and NOT use any other option (yes, all of them - not any kind of effect was seen there...)
    - changed especially all mp3-related options to download
    - deactivated ALL plugins and addons
    - about:config -> media.windows-media-foundation.enabled -> false
    - uninstalled ALL types of mediaplayers (Winamp, VLC etc.), but not WMP because it would be very complicated and would cause several bugs
    

    Many updates before (I think it's up to 20 FF or if) you could simply tell FF, I tried to download the file via the settings and now it isn't.

    Is it possible to left I can force Firefox to NOT READ mp3 files in any player and offer my the possibility to download?

    Please do NOT give answers like:

    - right click on the file and save it as ... I allready know that and do not want to use that solution. A few years before it was possible, so it should also be possible to directly click at the file and decide what to do with it. On all the sites I want to use it the possibilities are given and not blocked by the sites or implementations itself.
    

    I thank very you much for your help in advance. I'm desperately trying to find an answer to this question for months...

    Hello TurZ, please set media.windows - media - foundation.enabled back to its default value and turn media.play - stand alone false instead.

  • How can I get Firefox to download a document in Adobe format, rather than the html page?

    The PACER site provides copies of documents in format Acrobat pdf. However, when I access a document, it appears in Firefox, rather than Adobe. So, I'm not able to download on Adobe. (I unchecked 'internet' option in Adobe in a manner appropriate, so that it is not instructed to download the document in the browser.) However, Internet Explorer, display and download in Adobe, because he is supposed to do. I called support PACER, but they were unable to help me.

    I found the support page that I found via search index 'see or download pdf' very useful.

    He brought me to download and install a Schubert | It browser plugin that works very well. It has many options, which is the choice to download or view the pdf file.

    The plugin is free for personal or educational use even if you don't find this out until you start using it.
