Why Firefox won't let me download anything?

Basically, I had a problem these days. I can't download anything on Firefox or another browser, I try to use. Files download without problem, and when he's doing so I can still see the files under development in the appropriate folders.

However, when the download is complete, the file just... disappears. It's the same for every file I try to download, not just one or two. Ranging from games, music, etc.

When I search upwards in the start menu, it appears, but when I click on it, he said, it is looking for the file, but I can choose to search for it myself, leaving me very confused. Go to the location of the file takes me to recent, where it shows the files that I downloaded as 1 KB shortcuts, but with the original file nowhere to be found.

If I may note, after downloading these files disappearing always occupy all the space on my drive that they argued that they could not only 1 KB. In addition, about a week or two before this happened, my computer mysteriously started losing a lot of space on the C: drive, to the point where I got a warning for having such space low; even if I was not doing something. Not sure if that plays one any part in this regard, but I thought I would add that in any way.

Someone here has a solution to this? I wish I had answers, please.

If download hangs at the last minute (just before reaching 100%), the cause may be an antivirus software that tries to parse the file and during this process the instance of Firefox crashes.

To resolve the issue, try disabling the analysis as follows:

  1. In the address bar, type Subject: config and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click on I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue on the subject: config page. A list of parameters must appear
  3. Filter the list by typing in the search bar at top. Enter scanWhenDone. Now you should find the "browser.download.scanWhenDone" preference.
  4. Double-click this preference to set the value to false.
  5. Then, try to download something and see if it still crashes.

    Hello

    1. what Internet browser do you use on your computer?
    2. that you get an error message when downloading a file?

    Method 1.
    If you suspect a virus activity I highly recommend to run a Scan of Virus online.

    Sometimes the security program installed might not be fair enough. I also recommend you update your security software regularly.

    a. follow the link below to start the free online scan:
    http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm

    b. run the malware removal tool from Microsoft.

    Microsoft Malicious - 32-bit removal tool
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD724AE0-E72D-4F54-9AB3-75B8EB148356&displaylang=en

    Also I recommend you to install the free security software from Microsoft. Which is easy to install and automatically updated
    Here is the link to download.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/securepc

    Method 2.
    If you use Internet Explorer 7 or later you can try the steps below and check if you are able to download the files.

    I would recommend you to optimize internet explore.
    See the article below for steps optimize internet explore.
    How to optimize internet Explorer?
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936213
     
    b. If nothing works to solve the issue try reset Internet Explorer.
    How reset internet Explorer?
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/923737
    IE reset warning:
    Please note that reset the settings of Internet Explorer running resets all of the settings defined by the user, including those established by the installed extensions, toolbars and other add-ons for IE by default. This includes all the security, privacy and settings area. Also this will erase browsing history, delete all temporary Internet, cookies, form data files and especially all the passwords.

    If the problem persists I would ask you to uninstall and reinstall Internet Explorer and check.

    Method 3.
    Check to see if the problem exists in Mode safe mode with networking. See the article below for the procedure safe mode in Windows XP
    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

    Open accounts settings and tap on your account and let it sync. Otherwise, create a new account and the old account will remain intact. Otherwise reset your phone if you want to use the current account after installation to reset your phone as you do when you buy it and then enter your current account, this will remove all the defects of phone too and you'll be able to get things.

  • Won't let me download anything not "enough disk space" when I have over 200 GB of available

    All of a sudden my late 2011 macbook pro does not allow me to download anything on the internet. It is said there is not enough free disk space to however I have over 200 GB of free. When I look at the internal drive and the drive macbook hard disk, it indicates that the hard disk is completely full when I run disk utility, but the only thing that I should have on my Mac hard drive that has plenty of space. Nothing seems to work. I tried to repair/correction of disk utility and it does not say there is a problem, but obviously something is not seriously. Help, please!

    If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preferences window, click on it to unlock the settings and to authenticate. Turn off the Machine time and then back on. Close the window.

  • Firefox won't let me download and install Badger of privacy

    I want to download and install the Badger of privacy

    But I get "Firefox prevented eff.org asking you to install the software."

    "The Add - it could not be downloaded due to a failure of connection on www.eff.org".

    The issue with the eff site or your service provider.
    It is not likely to be Firefox problem. I am able to load at the bottom of the file.
    I assume it's just the site you have a problem with eff.
