the Save button opens a file instead of save the download

When I want to upload a file I navigate to the folder where I want the file to be saved and click 'Save', it opens the folder at the top of the list, instead of simply to save the file. I do not have the folder selected, and if I did, I should have a button 'Open' or 'open file '.

Finally, it saves the file when I'm in a directory without subfolders. Not only is it annoying, but if I'm in a directory with a deep folder structure, I can hit save a bit until finally, it allows to save. so of course I have to go through the hassle of opening up my file manager and move the download to where I want to.

This problem started in the last 12 hours or less.

Without thinking about it my account managers do not have save buttons; copy or cut buttons sometimes well. If you want to seek the help of other Firefox users volunteer their time to try to help you, perhaps you should reconsider your attitude and bite your tongue rather than repeatedly criticizing and insulting.

The downloads work fine for me, it is tested on different operating systems and combinations of version of Firefox including testing a Canonical build 50.0.2 on Ubuntu.

Have you tested in Firefox Safe mode

Maybe for example your obsolete Mozilla Archive Format 4.0.1 is involved in the problem.

I leave it to others to keep up with this.

  • InDesign doesn't let Me not open Image files instead in my Document?

    Hi all

    First time posting here and I hope you guys can help! I just installed the Master Collection yesterday after using the suite Design Premium for quite a while. I just started a new document in InDesign and I just wanted to open some pictures and scans of Word in InDesign. However, after I click on file > open > "Proper case" there is a button on the window that reads "all readable Documents." This box is checked, but all the image files are "grey" so I can't select them. If I change the option mentioned earlier to "All Documents" files names is more "grayed out", but when I double click on a file I get an error (see attachment).

    I never had this happen before the images I want to open only from JPEG and PDF files? I need to get a project in tomorrow and now I'm worried. I guess it's something to do with the new facility, but I am at a loss...

    Thank you very much in advance for any help you can provide.

    In InDesign, you import the images, using the file > place command, rather than open them. ID only opens files created in InDesign, everything else comes Place or copy/paste (which you should not do with images except from one place to the other in identity documents - paste from Photoshop, for example, only gives you preview low-resolution screen RGB and no way to change and be updated later).

    If you are a fan of drag / drop, you can drag images from bridge, Finder or Explorer and drop them on the page, which is the equivalent of the place. Dragging a window of application is the equivalent of dough.

  • 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?

  • I can´t see more save it button to overwrite the changes directly on an open pdf file. Is there a solution to this?

    Hi, I m a free user update to Acrobat Reader DC, but I can´t more see the Save button to overwrite the changes directly on an open pdf file. I mean, I give myself the option "Save as", but then I have to find the right place to save. In my older version of Acrobat Reader when I pressed the button 'save' the program automatically looked for the folder the document I was working on had been, but now it seems that I have to search the folder manually whenever I want to save a file on my computer. Is there a solution to this?

    If not, I would like to install my old version of Acrobat Reader (I m in doubt between X and XI: I think it was the last one). How can I install my old version without losing changes (comments, for example) I did on my pdf files? Thank you very much.

    Best regards

    The "Save" button becomes available when you make changes to the file. If you come to open a file and make any changes to it (and this isn't a temporary file) then this button is disabled. This is how applications work.

    You can get older versions of the player here: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

  • No option to save/open Pages files to the hard drive

    In the Pages on my MacBook Pro, I can access only now the iCloud.

    If I want to open a file, it only gives me those in the cloud, no way to navigate to those recorded on the real MBP.

    If I want to save a file, it only gives me the ability to save in the cloud, not for the real MBP.

    I checked "Help", which only says: choose "save under" and choose the folder. Who don't show up with two problems 1) no "Save as" in the menu more and 2) no way to choose any place other than the cloud.

    I had a quick glance at all parameters which seemed even vaguely be connected to Pages, but found nothing useful either. I have no idea if or what I changed in the first place.

    Naturally, I don't want or need to save ALL my files on a cloud. So, how can I teach Pages to simply do what I want?

    The following example was made with v5.6.2 on OS X 10.11.5 Pages.

    When you save a document, Pages remembers this location for the next open or save operation. The default open view will probably look like this in iCloud Drive: folder Pages. If you click on this Pages - iCloud selector, you can see the locations of the other folders. Choose one and then click on new Document.

    If you click on that left most button on the open Panel, it will hide the left panel of Favorites and give you this point of view even more disconcerting:

    You have a few choices to save a document. The first thing you need to do when you create a new document is to select the file menu: Save... and choose a location to save it under one name other than Untitled.pages. This will start the automatic backup (about every 15 seconds locally) and also the version back to history. There is also a facilitator Option key for the file that changes menu duplicate in save under... The default save Pages panel is minimalist and can cause some confusion over available save slots.

    Again, you can develop the where: selector to choose a local drive location, or you can click on the arrow pointing downwards in the annotation of the red circle. When you do this, a much larger window appears with the familiar left from the Favorites panel, and to choose a new save location. Once you have done this, you can also choose to make a new folder in this location to save and by clicking on the "Save" button, your document is placed in the folder that you just created.

  • In the mail app, if I try right click and open the attachments of the JPG files that I received, I get the message 'we are unable to open this file. You want to save and try to open with another application? »

    I received an email with 3 accessories, 2 images and 1 PDF.  I am trying to open larger photos and I get the message, "we are unable to open this file.  You want to save and try to open with another application? »

    What you need to do is to go to control panel > programs > by default of the programs > set your default programs. Or search for programs by default, which must raise I have right as well (just start typing on the splash screen or slide from left to right and click on the search button).

  • Preview in the browser opens the local file instead of the url in DW CC 2015

    In 2014 Dreamweaver when I defined a site, I check it too remote and test server since they are the same. Once I finish editing I use Ctrl + Shift + u to upload to the server and if it is not still open in the browser, I press F12 to preview, and he opens the url. In 2015, Dreamweaver, I uncheck/remove the test server and leave only the remote server for so I have a defined test server, whenever I have downloads on the server automatically (which is annoying if you're not done with your changes yet or you have a little time of latency on your FTP connection). It's bulky, since it's a habit whenever I have some changes and download only when I'm about to test the changes. With the undefined testing server, when I press F12, the DW redirects to the local file instead of the URL defined in site settings. Now, I have to type the full url for each page I test. It is an approach back the previous version. Either enable in the browser preview, open the real link, as defined in site settings or please have an option to disable the auto push when recording. Thank you!

    First of all, you are right in your new configuration that remote and testing server should not be in the same.  It is not a good habit to get.  However, without a test in place server, DW will only use the local file to test because you don't want to push the Webcam page live on the server until it is complete.  In this case, DW creates a temporary file that you can view on your local computer.  In general, it is recommended to have a test server, if that exists within your local environment with local installation of WAMP/MAMP or Windows Server.  Or a specified test server environment that is not accessible to the public where you can test.

    In addition, to save them automatically download to the server and overwrite the file direct download or not, those are 2 settings to DW within which can be displayed/hidden.  First of all, in the DW preferences, there is a setting for "Preview in browser".  In this context, there is a checkbox to choose whether to display a preview with a temporary file.  If you have no other choice then to use the server as a test platform, you probably want to check this box to preview using a temporary file rather than overwrite the direct file each time.  Then if you go to the server management and change your test server, go to the Advanced tab and uncheck the box for "check automatically download files on the server.  This will disable the download file automatically the file on the server when you save, allowing you to download only when you preview and test.

  • NAVE discovered as ICON files instead of in the dialog Open CS5 thumpnail

    Hi, I have noticed when I try to open a file in CS4 or CS5 Photoshop with OPEN dialogue box, it only shows the icon instead of thumpnail for NEF files. I need to click the icon of the NAVE to display the thumpnail.

    I have no problem showing the NEF file in bridge well.

    Could someone advice if this is a problem requiring updates or it is part of how CS5.

    Thank you very much.

    To see thumbnail previews in Explorer (file open/save/etc dialog boxes are part of Solution Explorer, in fact) you will need a codec which includes the file format of raw (NEF) files.  Photoshop does not provide this functionality.

    Well that there are free solutions do for older Windows 32 bit systems, at the present time, there are only several commercial software available for modern 64-bit systems.

    I recommend FastPictureViewer Codec Pack, which gives you not only the thumbnails for files camera raw, also for the .psd (Photoshop) files.  I think the current price is $ 15 or more.

  • 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 try to open a file in the same window instead it opens in another window

    original title: the behavior of the windows

    so my office is weird, as if you try to open a file in the same window instead it open in another window, etc. and the parameters are not to do, and I can not copy, paste, or drag-and - unless u open the file that you are trying to paste in... I mean that it shows that u copied or cut the file but it does not allow you to the paste it where you want it to... help?

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/813711

    I found the solution to a lot of the post regarding the behavior of the window as in not displaying thumbnails do not, or only display as icons. u could not drag-and - drop a file in a folder, the only way possible to copy and paste in the opened folder u he wanted.   When in an open folder u wanted to open another folder in the same window, that he would open the clicked folder u on in another window... Yes I think the setting may have changed with the installation of another program or uninstall. Ive search searched n not thanks to technicians to norton and Microsoft to answer the caz forums of course they know not what theyre doing... but in any case, I saw in another question, someone asked on thumbnails disappear n someone sent them the link to a microsoft support page click on the fix it , and it fixes everything that was to play place configurations... I'm really tired of people who say "oh come on in your folder options and check the personalization", how much this race was frustrating... Well hope it works... for future people and those that have not been answered... and im running vista...
