I can't open the files in the downloads menu

Whenever I have download a file (open or save), it never automatically opens, and I can't open it by clicking on the entry in the downloads/Panel menu. I can't 'Open containing folder' and use the file normally from there, or go to the library and double-click on the file, but it's annoying that will not open the files I choose to open.

I use Aurora, but the problem persists in the stable version of Firefox.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I considered my firefox reset (it would probably set it), but I was able to track the problem until mimetypes.rdf. I deleted it and now all is well.

Solution: Remove mimetypes.rdf or reset (see this response)

  • How can I open the downloads window only? Or how can I close my browser and open the winodw downloads without an active download?

    I have about a year of downloads to sift through and organize. It means I have many open files that I move the files to the appropriate locations. The last thing I need is to have unnecessarily the browser open between all this mess.

    So... can I close my window of Firefox browser without the automatic reclosing also downloads window? Or better yet, is it possible to just open the downloads window and not the browser window?

    Again, I want to ONLY THE DOWNLOADS WINDOW open, not the browser window. I see that others have asked similar questions, but no one has ever proposed a solution.

    Avoid using the file > exit or the red X button. On the contrary: press Ctrl + j to display the downloads window, and then use Ctrl + w to close the last remaining tabs. The downloads window should remain open. A little luck?

  • I can't open the downloads tab of the arrow

    I don't know how to open the downloads using the arrow down at the top of the window, but today it stopped working (I click on a document and try to download it with Google, but it only flashes green in the arrow down so I can open it.)

    You can see all downloads in the download (Library Manager; See all downloads or tools > downloads) or on the topic: downloads page via the address bar.

  • Hi, after updating my firefox, I can't open the download icon

    Today firefox updated the browser automatically. Then I download something after download of color of the icon should change to blue, but it is not. Yet gray.

    While I try to click on it, it will not open the download.
    Now, I have to manually open my download folder, instead of opening the browser which is not effective.

    That's happened?

    Sorry for my bad English.

    Thanks & Rgds,

    Good, it resolved after I closed and Open firefox.

  • Get the error on everything I click on: Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. Can not open the downloaded files. Help!

    IM about to set fire to this laptop... I tried to set permissions which is what I read as a solution, but none still having the same problem.  I have a click with the right button on my c drive to try to get everyone is listed as having control over the files and click ok, still the same problem.  What is the result of a virus? I try to open things Ive downloaded using safari (Safari is the only browser to work of all those that I have) a file has been moved he says... moved where? To heaven? I don't know where to start to try to solve this problem, because if I can't open downloads what's the use? Should I wipe out completely and put another OS (for example, Linux Mint lol), or is it a simple solution, I'm missing somewhere? I really hate his terrible Vista. If I could download Linux Mint I and destroy this sucker. If someone knows a way to fix even one of these questions than id be tickled s*@#$less... Thanks for reading my rant.

    Hello

    Unless you have an idea, when it started and what changes have been made before the appearance of this problem (and by changes it could be software installation/uninstall, update existing software, make changes, etc), you should probably do a reinstall. If you have a Vista disc to the same level as the current installation, insert it and follow the instructions for an inplace upgrade. If you have a system pre-installed with recovery of manufacturer, follow their instructions.

    Randomly change file permissions should not solve your problems.

    Linux is a viable alternative, but it may suffer corruption as well, and you will probably find a real support to fail.

  • Cannot open "Firefox.app" because the identity of the sponsor cannot be confirmed: recommended solutions don't work... still can't open the download. Help?

    I tried the recommended two solutions to replace but none works. Firefox was slowly turning last night so I decided to update it. Did not help. Downloaded again, but now can't access it at all. I'm on a Mac using 10.9.5.

    If he has problems with the update or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a fresh install of the new version.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not open the downloaded applications

    I have a blackberry 9360 and it's great, the only problem is that some applications don't download, same if I'll buy them and others will download but does not open "Phone Warrior will not work without the requested permissions" I accept all requested permissions, but it still does not... Can anyone help?

    Hello

    If you've got reliable sources (e.g., BBWorld) apps and they are therefore particularly compatible with your device and the OS level, then it is possible that you have a policy COMPUTER on Board that is blocking them. Reference:

    • Article ID: KB30076 How to check for an it on a BlackBerry smartphone policy

    If you indeed have a political TECHNOLOGY and are part of a BES and environment, then stop now and contact your BES admins for help... only they can tell you if what you're trying is against them.

    If you have a COMPUTER policy and are not part of BES, then the question arises why the it policy exists on your device. In general, it's because you got 2nd hand device and the seller does not correctly clean it... refer:

    • Article ID: KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after the purchase of a used BlackBerry smartphone

    But even without the seller, as long as they did everything in their section of the KB, you can always clean the device of the it policy. The process is to destroy everything, please first review the link in my sig auto on this post for a full and proper backup procedure to follow.

    Once you have this full backup, to proceed with this:

    • Article ID: KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

    Thereafter, proceed to restore your applications and data, but DO NOT make a full restore... instead, only a selective restore of the databases you really need (e.g., contacts, calendar, etc.) and specifically avoid restore databases that have nothing to do with politics, COMPUTING, business , or anything similar - if restore you those, he will dutifully restore it on your device policy, and you will be right back where you started.

    Good luck and let us know!

    Hello

    Thanks for the update.  I am happy that you were able to get installed it.  Always curious to know why the EXE file does not download.  Have you checked your security settings, or maybe anti-anti-virus/firewall settings?
