Safari randomly downloads on Twitter

Help, please!

When I go to Twitter (the normal web version) Safari starts to download random files with numbers in their names (and without extension). They are all no Ko, but it of very annoying and also clearly shouldn't happen.

I tried clears the cache data and Web site. Checked Twitter on Firefox and it doesn't happen here. Also does not seem to happen on other sites on Safari (or at least I have not met any yet).

I saw many people report similar problems (with different sites), but I have not found a single solution. I read somewhere that disabling Javascript would work, so I tried - it was the case, but it may not really be the solution?

Here is the download history:

I'm on OSX 10.11.4 and the issue was raised a day ago.

Please help, I don't want to give up Safari to another browser, but I also need Twitter for work

Quit Safari if it is open.

Open the Finder.

In the Finder menu bar, click go > go to folder

Then type or copy paste the following text:

~/Library/Safari

Click go and then move the file Downloads.plist to the Safari folder to the trash.

Relaunch Safari and try Twitter.

If this does not help, in your Safari menu bar, click Safari > Preferences and select the Privacy tab, and then click Details. Delete all cookies from Twitter.

Then go on your Safari menu bar click history > clear history

Quit and restart Safari and try again Twitter.

    I currently have Safari Version 6.1.6 and that you need to update. Should what version of safari I download?

    The latest version of Safari is 9.1. Apple page on this subject is here. Perhaps the reason best/only to use an earlier version if you are using an older version of OS X (pre 10.9.5) or a former Mac (before Intel processor.) You told us all this, in your question.

  • Safari randomly opening new windows

    Greetings,

    I searched the forum on similar topics and have tried all the tips I found. However, I've still not solved my problem. I have a MacBook Pro from 2012.

    My web browser, Safari, keeps randomly browser windows open. It's 'scam' Web pages for MacKeeper, Media Downloader, Flash Player and various "warnings" about the infections by the virus auto. The pop-up windows frequently and without warning, even when I do something as simple as reading a site information or Google search. (They aren't pop ups that are related to a specific Web site.)

    I couldn't find anything in the "Extensions" tab in Safari preferences. I removed my library, such records that indicated by other articles and made a scan of my laptop using Malwarebytes. (Nothing found). I did a scan with verification of the being, but he did not disclose all relevant information. The problem persists.

    Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome. Most of the articles I've read on this questions from 2013 and 2014.

    1. click  in the menu bar and select "force quit."

    In the window that opens, select "Safari" and click "leave power.

    2. restart Safari by holding down the SHIFT key.

    3 turn off wifi and turn it back on.

    Turn off the Wifi. Click the Wifi icon in the menu bar, then select "Turn off Wifi".

    Visit another website.

    You have no internet connection.

    Turn on Wifi. Click the Wifi icon in the menu bar and select ' turn Wifi on.

    Select your network.

    4. remove the Cookies

    Safari > Preferences > privacy > Cookies and other data from the website:

    Click on the button "Details".

    Delete all cookies except those from Apple, your internet service provider and the banks.

  • I get messages on my IPAD, "Safari cannot download FOXFIRE.". Help!

    Simple. How to download FIREFOX on my IPAD? I've already downloaded SAFARI. I get the message that I can't download FIREFOX for free using SAFARI browser. What should I do?

    The mobile Firefox is only for Android 2.1 + and ARMv7 types of processors. The version of office for Mac OSX certainly will not work on the iPad, if that's what you were trying to do.

    https://wiki.Mozilla.org/mobile/platforms

    iPhone/iPad/iPod
       We have no plans to release the full Firefox browser for iOS. The iOS SDK agreement requires apps to use Apple's own JavaScript engine (or none at all, like Opera Mini which downloads pre-rendered pages from Opera's servers and cannot run JavaScript code in the client). Because of this, we have no supported way to distribute Firefox's rendering and JavaScript engine to iPhone users.
       However, you can download Firefox Home for iPhone, an iOS app that uses Firefox Sync to deliver Firefox bookmarks, browsing history, and tabs to your iPhone or iPod Touch.

  • Update the Flash Mac Safari Reader download problems

    I use Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I am trying to download the update for Flash 11.6.602.180. When I download the file, its just like install_flash_player_osx.dmg.mdlp.

    When I try to open the downloaded could, it will just open my MATlab application and not the typical folder that click you on start update.

    Currently, any use of video on Sarafi has a "plugin blocked" and I can't watch anything.

    I thought about it.

    Changed the name of the file by removing the .mdlp

    Once fix, it would open to the top as usual.
    Just an FYI if anyone has the same problem.

    He opened my matlab application because matlab programs end in "a.m."

  • Since I updated to Firefox 8 on Mac OS x 10.4.11, Firefox does not open more (not same previous versions downloaded via Safari). I get the error message "You cannot use Firefox with this version of Mac OS x" (translated from Dutch).

    I tried to create a new profile, the problem remains the same.

    None of the 3 accounts on this desktop computer can use Firefox. This has never been a problem. Today (14.11.11) I've updated Firefox to 8 and nothing more. Via Safari, I downloaded Firefox 7 to reinstall, same error message.

    From Firefox 4, Mac must have an Intel x 86 processor (which you do not have) and OSX 10.5 or higher (version OSX 10.4).

    The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still support OSX 10.4 and Mac with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that the support for Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not download Twitter for BlackBerry

    I have a flashlight and recently uninstalled Twitter for BlackBerry and installed Uber Twitter instead. Since I found that I prefer the former. However, now I can not install Twitter for BlackBerry. He told me that my device does not meet the requirements.

    The requirements are: 64 MB, 1000 KG free and BlackBerry version 4.5 or higher software.

    I have 512 MG on my device; 3.7 GB available on the built-in memory and 2.9 GB available on my memory card. I use BlackBerry device Software version 6.0.

    I'm going back with BlackBerryHelp on Twitter, but they cease to tempt me what I already tried.

    I tried to download it from the page Twitter (mobile) as well as page BlackBerry.com (mobile) with the same results. I also tried to send the link by email and download it from the link. Nada. The application does not appear in my App World.

    Help? Please? I'm tweetless.

    Hello

    Maybe it's because Twitter for BlackBerry is currently being updated.  Start by following these steps:

    1. with the unit, remove the battery for 15-30 seconds, then reinsert and wait for the device to reboot.  This will ensure that you start with a clean slate.

    2. If you have BlackBerry AppWorld, try to open AppWorld and search for Twitter here.  Twitter for BlackBerry app should be listed first.  You can then download the Twitter app from there.  This will actually give you the most up-to-date version.

    3. If this does not work, or if you don't have App World installed on your device, try to download it again from http://www.blackberry.com/twitter via your BlackBerry browser.  Now that you've done the battery pull and provided all the files are gone, you should be able to download it.

    If she won't even download, let us know.  Perhaps it is that the servers are updated and which is interrupt your ability to download.  If necessary, I'll ask another user of torch to see if it can access the download.  If he can't, then we will move the info along to those who can check it out further.

  • Random, browser restarts or the program crashes and fan of initialization when you use simple programs. Report to be included

    In the two months, my computer works more more slowly, with more frequent crashes, display of graphics weird (almost like T.V. snow) at the launch of google chrome/safari, randomly closed opening programs/browsers when it restarts and initializing the fan when executing simple programs, such as Microsoft Word.  I've recently updated to El Capitan about two months ago on my MacBook Pro 2010. Before that I have updated the material a year ago by battery replacement and upgrade to a larger hard drive.

    The problems occurred when I updated to Apple new OS El Capitan. My computer is too old to manage this OS even with new battery and HD? Should I increase my RAM? My computer got a virus? I ran an EtreCheck and can't decipher what, if anything, could be wrong with it (apart from the RAM is lean). I know that the performance indicator said 'Excellent'... but, my computer does not "excellently." Any help or enlightenment that all could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • Not so much a question as letting you know that when I downloaded mozilla firefox I'm done with download trogen. Would you go through your code to solve?

    I downloaded mozilla firefox because I always said that it is safer to surf the net with her than IE and have used it for years. So I downloaded it on a computer in order to prevent virus popup problems I had. After Malware said they were all off the coast, I downloaded Mozilla... and again ran Malware only to find representatives of trogen trogen downloads and spyware infected files. I think that maybe someone messed with your codes. I have since sunk all of this, but thought you should be informed that there might be a hidden problem. Please check it out. Thank you

    If you wish to make such a request, please give more details as what antivirus or scanners, you used, what they find so-called and where exactly.

    Where did you downloaded Firefox from stood at www.mozilla.org or www.mozilla.org/firefox/all

    If you have indeed downloaded Mozilla (and not a random download site) then it is pretty much guaranteed to false positives.

    The installation program of small heel online for Firefox on Windows (served on mozilla.org) exists since Firefox 18.0 and still some antivirus clients gives still false positives about it although if customers have no problem with the complete configuration of www.mozilla.org/firefox/all

    39.0 Firefox has been out since July 2 so much time to find all these issues in all versions of Firefox 39.0 for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.

    If it was true that Firefox 39.0 for Windows was a Trojan horse, then it would be a very hot topic here, the independent forums.mozillazine.org and tech autour sites even if Mozilla removed affected built quickly.

    I have seen people claiming viruses, Trojans or malware in Firefox releases in 12 years. Not once was as true as it was false positives subsequently fixed by the update definitions antivirus or just something that was detected in the Cache that makes these things harmless while in the Cache.

    The other times it was from users who have malicious software on their system, install Firefox, then did a scan and found should it is come with the installation of Firefox.

    There was a case back in Firebird 0.6 days a local accumulation contributed has been apparently infected (Chinese?, I forgot) that Firefox 1.0 was the first version to have other official other than en-US language.
