I want an option to open or save a download

With Firefox 20.0 I don't get the window 'Open with' or 'save' when I click on a file to download. I want the option to open the file automatically. I know that the new download the toolbar button is there, but that adds a few steps to open a file. Any options?

If this applies to all files, in the Options window, general Panel, always choose "ask me where to save files.

If this applies to only specific file types, make sure that the corresponding download action is not set to "Save the file" in the window Options, Applications Panel.

  • Why can't I open or save an attachment sent?

    Sometimes, when I get an attachment icon 'trombone' there no option to "open or save" it and I can't see content. It is not every time, but enough times that it is very frustrating and can find no solution online.

    A message, including one with graphics, consists of several parts, some of which may be attachments and other may be images. Thunderbird cannot always tell which is which, so it pessimistic warns you of possible accessories.

    In truth, there is not much difference between the two incorporates and attachments. What is not simple text must be encoded and added to the message, and the process to achieve this is roughly the same in both cases. An embedded image simply has an affair and a pseudo address that allows it to be displayed on-site. Structurally, it is an attachment.

  • I can't download Firefox. When I hit the download button the pop-up box asking me if I want to open or save the file disappears without me click an option.

    I tried to download Firefox without success.
    I hit the download button and, normally, a pop-up window appears asking me to open or save the file. An empty box appears briefly and then disappears.
    The problem may be with Internet Explorer 6.
    However, I tried to update to IE 8 and the same problem above occurs on the Microsoft Web site.
    I think that there is a little lack of IE 6.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you

    Thank you.

  • Download a file should implement an option to open the file or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else?

    Download a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason any now just downloading it straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It is very frustrating - sometimes, you want the first opened file so it can be discarded or stored in a different location.

    Find the type of file in the Firefox -> Options -> Applications Panel, open its menu drop-down and select 'ask '. To reset all the actions of download, delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in your Firefox profile folder (or rename the mimeTypes.rdf X if you want to save as a backup). The file will be regenerated with all types of files, restore the default actions.

    For more information, see application Panel - set how Firefox handles different file types and change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file .

  • When I download a pdf file, I used to be asked if I wanted to open or save.  Now, the file is saved only. How can I go back to be invited?

    When I download a pdf file, I used to be asked if I wanted to open or save.  Now, the file is saved only. It's really annoying, because the file name of the saved file does not identify it somehow, and I find myself with a bunch of unknown files on the desktop.  How can I go back to being able to view the file when it is downloaded (and so to save it on the spot with an understandable file and to an appropriate folder name)?

    I know you hate Adobe, but this parameter does not have to do with Adobe at all, in fact... This is an internal setting of Firefox.

    Anyway, change go to Tools - Options - Applications and enter "pdf" in the filter field. Change the action associated with this type of file to do what you want, in this case always 'ask '.

  • For downloads in windows 7, how can I add the option "save under" instead of simply "open" or "Save".

    Hi, can really use your help! Recently updated to Firefox. I used to click on downloads and be able to "save under". Now, I can only 'open' or 'save' When I click on 'save', all files go to the default download folder. I then have to open the Explorer, search for the folder and the file, and then cut and paste into the appropriate folder. A heavy treatment!

    Does anyone have a solution? Thank you!

  • Most of the time when I want to open a document, Firefox saves in downloads, rather than just let read me. How to prevent this?

    In previous versions of Firefox, I was able to open a document, for example, an attachment or document by following a link to a Web site and then decide if I wanted to save or just read. More often now that otherwise, it automatically saves it downloads, although not all the time. Choices in settings/general concern that choose which folder to save in and do not choose to do not to record at all. For example, I went to www.overseal.org, then chose the Documents and Budget 2013-2014.
    This means that nothing seems to happen on the screen, and to view the document, I have to go to downloads and subsequently remove it from there if I don't want to keep. Can I change a setting somewhere to return to the previous practice, please?

    You can rename (or delete) the file mimeTypes.rdf in the profile folder of Firefox to reset all the actions file.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    My problem:

    Windows Mail on a new Vista system (for me)... I had been using Outlook Express and miss me him now three feaures: compose of 1) ability to open and save attachments, 2) semi-automatic recipient and copy 3) invisible on screen. Feature missing #1 is a showstoper.

    Another option would be to use a website based email system, I guess.

    In Re problem # 1 (attachments)

    ---------------------------------------from Q&A screens------------------------------

    Windows Mail blocks certain types of file attachments that are commonly used to spread e-mail viruses, such as files with the following file name extensions: .exe, .pif and .scr files. IfWindows Mail blocks an attachment in an e-mail message, the information bar displays a message letting you know he did and list the attachment that has been blocked.

    I know that I need programs such as Word files .doc to open .doc attachments, but above characters fat not yet past.

    Open Windows Mail by clicking the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Mail.

    Click on the Tools menu and then click Options.

    Click the Security tab, clear the do not allow attachments to the opening or recording that could potentially be a virus check box, and then click OK.

    The above could not solve the problem.

    We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try again later.

    So. I'm stuck.

    1: you get the message that Windows has blocked access to the attachment, or it does not work? All file extensions or part?

    2: tools | Options | Send. The corresponding checkbox is checked? Note that only 29 addresses are remembered. See for more information.

    3: CCI works exactly as in OE.

  • Documents with Smart Objects - very slow to open and save - Photoshop CS6

    When open and save documents with dynamic objects photoshop freezes the charger of the PS adobe (circle points) is replaced and the system loader (multi color wheel of death) runs for 30 seconds or more.

    What I've tried so far based on different positions by looking at.

    Photoshop Preferenes

    • Reduction in the background
    • Maximize PSD and PSB file compatibility ever
    • Tile cache size: 128 k
    • The advanced GPU settings: Basic & Normal
    • The layer Panel options: no thumbnail

    Observations and workthroughs so far

    • The size of the file and the amount of objects intelligent effects him propelling file that is more intelligent objects, you have the worse it gets
    • These files worked perfectly in PS CS5
    • It also happens on files created natively in PS CS6
    • The CPU is maxing out at 100%, while expenses for PS
    • Suitcase open or closed has no effect.

    System:

    • iMac 27 inches, mid-2011
    • 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor
    • 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory
    • AMD Radeon HD 6970 M 1024 MB graphics card
    • Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G 63)
    • Suitcase 4

    Anyone got any ideas? It is making me go nuts!

    A solution!

    It turns out that the problem in my case was in fact the case. Previously, I tried to turn it off, but it does not solve the problem, so this time, I uninstalled it completely and the problem disappeared. Then I started to add new (installed 15.0.1, updated, etc) and the problem has resurfaced with the addition of the specific Photoshop plugin. Removal of this plugin solves the problem. So, it seems that "disabling" suitcase by stopping the TypeCore don't seem to actually deactivate all the tentacles that he sticks in your system.

    You can find the plugin here: Applications / Adobe Photoshop CS6 / plugins / automate / ExtensisFontManagementPSCS6.plugin

    (After a reboot, I also had to remove the font cache, as described here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html but your mileage may vary.)

    Alternatively, if you do not want to remove the plugin, it disabled in Photoshop seems to work as well. To do this, go to file > Automate > Extensis, click on Preferences..., and then deselect enable Suitcase Fusion 4 - Automatic Activation.

    Fortunately, the plugin does not seem necessary at all to use the main features of suitcase (to activate and deactivate fonts) in Photoshop. I didn't even know what these plugins makes specific app until that research on this problem, and I don't always quite understand the point of them. I guess that they allow you to leave the apps for which they are installed a small bit more their own management (activate a font via suitcase that is not on the system-wide), but that seems to be more control I need - if I am allowing a police, I want that all my software to use it.

    In any case, the problem seems to be solved completely on my system now, although I have all this, so more tests in the coming days is required. I'll post here if problems arise. I'm interested in hearing if this solve for someone else.
