Safari hangs in the sierra after you open the download window

Hello

I have two, Safari and Mac OS, update to the latest version. But now, crashes Safari (beachball forever - can only stop Safari via "cmd - alt - esc").

I have re-installed macOS Sierra twice, ran 'First aid' on my boot partition and DiskWarrior. Nothing helps.

Need help, please,

AndreasB

Please save the Mac.

Hold down the 'option' key, then click on the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

Select 'Library' in the menu dropdown.

Library > Caches > com.apple.Safari

The com.apple.Safari file right-click and select "move to the trash.

Shut down windows and restart Safari.

2 remove the test and com.apple.Safari.plist file.

Empty the trash.

Quit all applications.

Hold down the option key and click on the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

Select 'Library' in the menu dropdown.

  • Half a second activity in Firefox 50 after that opening a new window/tab that could be due to malicious software?

    Hello world

    After you open a new window or tab, Firefox 50 engages often in half a second to load the empty page before it allows me to enter an address. Could this be the suspicious activity of malware?

    To show you, I recorded a video of him:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/drvmzrqqqjnopvo/Firefox%20page%20Loading.mov?DL=0

    It also happens if NoScript, my single extension, is disabled.

    Thank you!

    I think that the problem is now cleared up. Firefox seems just in contact with their own server of telemetry. The HTTP log that shows the server

    incoming. Telemetry.Mozilla.org

    is contacted.

  • Download disappears from the download window after completion

    When I download a file from the internet in Firfeox, download window stays open as soon as the download is finished, but the file name disappears from the window. In previous versions of Firefox downloaded file would remain visible in the download window after download was complete and I could simply click on the download window and open it. Now, because it disappears from the download window, I have to open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder that contains the newly downloaded file to open it, which is a pain. I activated the "remember my browsing and download history ' in the options as suggested in the previous answers to this question on the forum, but this makes no difference. Is it possible to make Firefox display the file in the download window after uploading?
    Thank you gas

  • How can I get the download window to open while downloading, instead of simply the little icon?

    You can open the downloads tab by pressing Ctrl + J

    2. Press the big button to ignore the warning.
    3. Set the value of the preference browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting to true

  • 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?

  • When I download something on the Web, the "Downloads" window opens, but that the window remains empty. Before it used to show at least the name of the file and I was able to open the file in the "Downloads" window Is it possible to recover this feature?

    I am running Windows XP that is updated to the latest version (which I think could be Service Pack 3, but not positive.) Mozilla Firefox is version 5.0. I tend to use Google as my search engine, so most of the stuff I download comes through sites found through Google, which is also updated.

    At some point in the past (there are maybe a few versions) when I want to download a file from the Internet, the "downloads" window opens and in the window would display the name of the file I got was download or came from download. I think I used to be able to then click on the file name and opens the file (or the Setup file if necessary to launch the new program). I am currently using Firefox 5.0 (screen "On Firefox" said that it is up to date) and when I download a file or document, the "Downloads" window appears on the screen as it has always in the past, but it remains empty, that is, nothing is displayed in the download area. I don't remember to make configuration changes, etc., that may have caused the window to remain a Virgin, but I could be wrong. I know how to find the items I downloaded (My Documents / downloads) and can generally guess what might be the name of the downloaded file, but it was much easier when something (anything) appeared in the downloads window.

    I'd like someone to tell me about a simple solution for this. I'm ready to be pretty embarrassed that I did something I should not have.

    In the Firefox Options / confidentiality be sure 'Remember download history"is checked. To see all the options on this Panel, "Firefox will be" must be set to "use the custom settings for history".

  • Error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer.

    Original title: trying to download

    WinXP SP3, Security Scan run and d/ld: error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer. What to do now would be much appreciated.

    Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool. For download, but read in the KB that: in XP, the vacuum cleaner will remove the malware, but doing so may trigger the File Protection Win with damages to my operating system.  the tool will attempt to repair the damage, but to rehabilitate prior to infection, that I need to insert the CD of Win. As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ?  I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.

    It can have nothing to do with any of the foregoing. " I'm relaying only because it occurred during the same mission of update: had msg of error that Win Firewall has not been set as a default, which reset, but found this hidden file when searching for the Protection of the customer: "Win 32/Hackdef' - it was a config with the extension ini file and was deleted by Scan."

    Thanks a lot for any assistance.

    Hello

    ·         You have Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer?

    If you have windows installed on your computer security essentials, then you will not be able to install Windows defender. Windows Security Essentials has antispyware component installed.

    You get the error because you have installed MS Security Essentials, which has its own function to antimalware. You don't need or want to install Windows Defender, too. Leave MS Security Essentials installed and do not turn it off.

  • The download window appears no information since the last update of Firefox

    I had to create a new account to help just to get here.

    Your navig was fucking up like crazy since the last update. I had nothing else to connection problems in several sites. Sites would connect at random, then I wouldn'; t be able to reconnect. I tried to make an account on a new site and had to try 11 times crazy until he has known. and just now, when I tried to ask a question of troubleshooting, my username and password would not work. So I sent a request for password reset. Nothing happened. I sent at least FIVE password reset requests. None of them went through. When I tried to enter a different user name, thinking maybe that was the problem, as soon as I re-typed and clicked any where outside the name space, he would return to the name that was already there. What the hell!

    I didn't still the problem, I first want to contact you about!

    The download window no longer works. I download a file, I click on "Downloads" to see how long it will be, I don't see anything. Gross, white, white. And Yes, I know that some files download so fast, they're gone until I open the window. I mean great videos megabytes and disc images. No indication that they are downloading at all.

    All of this has happened since 19.0 installed. I need to disable the updates in the future to keep the browser working properly!

    Well, I found out what was going on. It turns out it was a confrontation with an add-on after all:

    http://update.DownloadHelper.NET/index.html?TS=1361662188

    So it makes sense why it persists even after reset and reinstalling. Sorry I lost all the time, but I enjoyed your trying to find solutions.

    Although I hope that the problems I've had of logging in and out of sites disappear soon too.
