Why don't the option + click on download a linked file more?

Until I have Firefox itself yesterday, hold down the Option key while clicking on a link downloaded the linked file, as if I right click (or Ctrl + click on) improved, choose 'Download Link', and then shot back, but with much less effort.

Now, nothing happens when I do that. I tried on several different sites, with a couple of different file types.

All of the plugins below have been installed, though not all in their updates until the problem occurred.

Hey plovejoy, this feature has been disabled by default in firefox 13 - view back to the, enter Subject: config in the address bar, search for the preference named browser.altClickSave and toggle true by double-clicking it.

for reference see the bug #713052

    Just above the text box that allows you to enter the text of the message, there usually a bar of buttons with buttons to add updated text in shape like the bold and italic.

  • Can get "option + click to download" once again please!

    I used to be able to hold down the 'option' by clicking on a link with the mouse (for example, a link to an image or a file) and it would download. Now I have to click the right button and select "save under", which, if I have a bunch of links to download, takes much more time. Can we get the much simpler, easier and faster "option + click to download" come back please? It's not as if this key combination has been replaced by something, now he has simply nothing.

    Hello oldified, please try this: enter Subject: config in the bar firefox address (confirm the message information where it appears) & search for the preference named browser.altClickSave. Double-click it and change its value to true.

  • Why don't the mpg2 files allow to move to different parts of the clip in XP? Vista lets me.

    Hello.

    Why don't the mpg2 files allow to move to different parts of the clip in XP? Vista lets me.

    Desktop: Windows XP 32-bit Home Edition. Laptop: Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

    I have a DVD I paid for and used a software to copy video clips (unprotected) to mpeg2 files. There are 4 of them. It was a DVD recorded in 2004 at a dance event. It is not a commercial version.

    XP: The 1st clip allows me to open it in Windows Media Player 11 and I can drag autour in various places to look at different times of the clip. The clip of 2nd, 3rd and 4th are locked and won't let me pick different times to watch. They will play through.

    In Vista: I can't the cursor around anywhere, then select any time to look into all parts of clips with THE 4 clips.

    I took the clips, put them on a USB stick, moved in both sense between each system. I tried two more than once.

    I used the software to rip the clips on XP and Vista. It's the same result. The fault seems to lie with XP.

    Perhaps some of this DVD had some kind of protection against copying for XP but not Vista (and other OS of potentially). Or it's the encoder?

    My account has been locked or something, I couldn't answer.

    It is therefore probably encriptación with Windows Media player. I can read files with RealPlayer on Windows XP and Vista in Windows Media Player.

    Tried to use my software for video editing, re - export files in mpeg2. But each of them had sound problems. So, this is how the DVD is probably protected.

    I have something on Vista operating systems and a workaround with XP using RealPlayer for the original files. I'll keep looking. It's mine to archive all I want at this stage.

  • Why don't the LOCKING of upper CASE indicator showing when the button?

    Why don't the LOCKING of upper CASE indicator showing when the button?

    A CapsLock indicator should be part of installation Win7 OS normal and here's why.  I use a brand new Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 2000 s/n 0356100416937.  I can send you a photo or the retail sales receipt if you doubt this statement.  It is there no CapsLock indicator on the keyboard itself, probably to extend the life of the battery.  I also use an IOGEAR KVM switch to facilitate the transition between multiple computers.  Emule KVM switch a keyboard of 102 standard keys, so even if I load the last Ko-driver (MS Intellitype 8.2) the pilot reports Microsoft keyboard not detected.  Therefore, there is no way to determine when the CapsLock key is active.  If you have ever tried to enter a long password upper-lower case with the CapsLock key in the wrong state, so you can imagine my frustration with this keyboard.

    So, how do you display CapsLock indicator?

  • No Collection target set when the Option-click on a collection folder

    How can I get the option "Set as target Collection" in the popup when the Option-click on a collection folder on my iMac?  At this point, I can't find any way to define a collection folder as the target folder.  According to the help section I looked at the instructions were to Option-click on the floder in Collections and the option "Set as target Collection" would appear. on my computer, is not in fact, nothing different happens when I click on the folder or the Option-click on the folder.  I use Lightroom 6 stand-alone version that you have installed the latest update.

    Make sure you're highlighting a regular collection and not a set of collection or a smart collection.

  • Change in behavior of the option-click on the layer Photoshop CC - layers now flatten/disappear

    I used the option click on layers all the time to perform various tasks. Now, in Photoshop 2014.2.2 CC I can no longer option + click on a layer to copy a layer effect or apply a clipping mask. Instead, as soon as I click on a layer with the option engaged, key all layers disappear / flatten in a "background layer".

    What has changed? And how can I now copy effects from one layer to another layer? The documentation says 'drag to the destination layer', but this simply moves the effect from one layer to another, does not copy it. Dragging allows you to copy an effect, but now, any use of the option key flattens all the layers together.

    Ehh, that shouldn't happen. I just used this feature in Photoshop CC 2014 and it worked fine. Maybe you should try a reset preference: Hold Cmd + Opt + shift as you start Photoshop start. Select 'Yes' when asked if you want to continue with reset.

  • whenever I click to download a music file it starts to play instead of download on a gray backgrownd as codec. Please provide a solution.

    whenever I click to download a music file it starts to play instead of download on a gray backgrownd as codec. Even if I change a few settings in: config, such as ', audio/mpeg' in 'plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types' and make the value False for media.windows - media - foundation.enabled, but still I'm not able to download music files. So please help me.

    If it's a link and not a built-in player then you can also use "save the link under" in the context menu instead of a left click of the link.

    What's new since 38.05

    Why was this feature depricated?

    I've got 38.0.5 on Win 7 x 64 Fx.

    You already have a userChrome.css file to change the user interface of Firefox? It is the only other method that comes to mind to hide a menu item. You can find such a file in this way:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Look for a folder named chrome , and if you find it, click on inside.

    Any userChrome.css file here? If so, you can open in a text editor and view its contents to see if it looks familiar.

    Or maybe your program files have been damaged in the upgrade. This happens from time to time, with unpredictable results. To remedy this situation, I would suggest:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (no incompatible or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 38.0.5 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

    (3) to rename the program folder:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    

    (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    You can get reinstalled Firefox?

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins
  • Firefox 13.0.1 breaks option + click to download the shortcut on the snow leopard.

    I've recently updated to ff 13.0.1 on both my cell mbp and mini mac, both running snow leopard 10.6.8 and option + click shortcut keyboard/mouse is longer functioning. The option key is def. operation, because it works for other purposes (non-firefox). This happens also in safe mode of ff, is probably not a problem with a plug-in.
