Firefox will not download HTML downloads, only FTP downloads.

I tried to download Eclipse Juno on their website today, but when I click the downloads, it goes to the thanks for download page and it does not load the download mirror (no dialog about opening or saving file).
However, when I try and FTP download, it gives me the dialog and downloads correctly. Why is this happening?
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.2.2-201302041200/eclipse-SDK-4.2.2-win32-x86_64.zip&mirror_id=546
Can't download. (HTML)

Can download. (FTP)

Make sure that your security software isn't blocking the file.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files.<br />
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

    Firefox will not connect to any websites since installing the latest upgrade. Google Chrome and Internet do work.

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
    previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
    trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
    again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

  • I just spent an hour composing a reply in a thread ("Firefox will not work with paypal"), only to see "You don't have permission" at Submit - total loss!

    I was logged in to reply in the thread "Firefox will not work with paypal". I spent the better part of an hour carefully composing that reply, testing cases, providing links, etc... [Hint: Firefox, unlike other browsers, has a problem with scripts from server paypalobjects.com.] Because I had taken so long to compose the reply, it seemed like a good idea to check it via the Preview button, but I got a message that that function was not available. Of course I decided to submit it anyway, but when I hit "Submit" I got a message "You don't have permission ..." - at which point I was (stupidly) on a different page with that message, and everything I had composed was gone!

    It might be too late for this, but it's what I use when this happens. Prepare for deep nerdom:
    * Open the web console below the error page by pressing Ctrl+Shift+k
    * Right-click the blank area and turn on logging of the request and response bodies
    * Resubmit the request by clicking the reload button
    * Click the new URL that appears to open the viewer showing the headers and bodies
    There you may be able to copy out the content of your post from the Request Body. You can use a word processor or text editor to find/replace the + characters back to spaces.

  • Firefox will not scroll while pictures still being downloaded

    When accessing any website that contains text and graphics, the text usually downloads first and most people want to read that without waiting for the grphics nor the adverts. But FF32.03 does not allow scrolling until the whole of the page has downloaded, which can take quite a while on slower connections (our is at best 2.5 Mbps, faster is not available). And example would be a page from the BBC News website, most of which contain loads of text and some pictures but I want to read the text while the pictures download - and I'm not interested in the adverts as I never read them.
    It would be most usely if the page would scroll while the graphics are still downloading. Please can this be implimented?

    I was researching some of the about:config entries that control the scrolling.
    Currently the oe feature to turn off smooth scrolling in Firefox is in this menu: Firefox Menu > Options> Advanced > General "use smooth scrolling" or "use auto scrolling"
    Oddly enough however, that site bbc uk does not let me scroll until the page is loaded. However I turned off the two features above and after clicking a couple of different articles it improved a little.
    I also tried to disable javascript temporarily, but this would break parts of the page. Ad block plus might help specify scripts on the page, however this will create a poor performance in Firefox.

  • Firefox will not stream an mp3, it always downloads it first

    I'm on a Mac, 10.6.7, Firefox 4.01
    My application is set for an mp3 as "Use Quickime 7.6.6 plug-in in Firefox" or something like that.
    But every time I click on an mp3, Firefox downloads the mp3 before opening QT and letting me play it.

    o.k., I've finally gotten Firefox to stream an mp3 - by setting *ALL* of my quicktime-related application prefs to "Always Ask", then selecting "Use Quicktime Player 7"....*NOT* "Use Quickime 7.6.6 plug-in in Firefox". It does stream the mp3, but it's still placing a download icon on my desktop for everyone that I play?! I play 20 mp3 - I get 20 desktop icons!
    ggrrrrrr.......

  • I can't download the Adobe Premiere Elements 13. Akamai Download pop up only the download window but downloading do not start. Alternate download Method will start but downloading will stopped always after 655 Megabytes. I have tried with different browse

    I can't download the Adobe Premiere Elements 13. Akamai Download pop up only the download window but downloading do not start. Alternate download Method will start but downloading will stopped always after 655 Megabytes. I have tried with different browsers, fire wall and virus protection off and also to download the trial of Adobe Premiere Elements 13 but result is every time same.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-13-direct-download-links-premiere.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • Firefox will not run except on new download.

    Firefox will not start under any circumstance from any shortcut, nor when started under Administrator or in safe-mode or with all apps disabled. It will start after a new download but only once. I cannot access profile manager from start/run, each time I get a 'Parsing error' message. I have tried basic removing and also removing complete with all profile details. I have performed re-starts after deletion and before and after re-installing. I have tried backdating the computer many times to different dates and the best result is an 'XML error' message on re-start attempt. Internet Explorer still works but frequently with 'Error on page' message. I have Mcafee installed but have had for years with no previous problems.

    Try Scan your PC:

    Case the problem persist try disable the McAfee only for test, because in Brazilian Forum other user had the same problem that yours and the problem was cause by McAfee

  • Firefox will not download on mac OSX10.8.5. Stops at 15 seconds to go.

    Firefox will not download onto my mac OSX 10.8.5. It stops at 15 seconds to go. HELP!!

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
    *Firefox 25.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

    Have you tried to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]?
    What about [[Managing profiles]]?
    Try to download the latest Firefox (3.6.4) from website. I hope your settings will not be lost; possibly, it was something with network connection, and Firefox updated only one half of itself; that's why I recommend to download it from website and install manually.

  • I switched on my PC and there was an update for realplayer. Since then firefox will not load. It is running according to Task Manager. I've downloaded a another copy of the programme using IE but whilst it loaded as a programme, does not open a window.

    Hi again,
    Helps if I give the correct link ! <br/>The press shift button appears to still work, but the option to start in safe mode from the programs listing of a standard install I do not think exists anymore.
    Safe mode will start from a command line, (or a shortcut) and in some circumstances you may need to enter the full path name on a command or shortcut detailed instructions are at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
    Remember (at least at this stage) do not make changes when you get the options list, just click on the continue button.
    If you think that RealPlayer is causing the problem you could uninstall that for now.
    Firefox recent versions are 3.6 4.0 (and 5.0 in beta). There is some debate as to whether creating new profiles or re-installing Firefox is the simplest method of troubleshooting and solving some of these problems, personally I use multiple profiles and multiple versions of Firefox, and tend to forget the required procedures are less than straightforward. For now at least try [[safe mode]] again.

    You may need to delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing the latest Firefox.<br />
    In case you still have problems after installing then check your security software.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • I was told I had to upgrade Firefox to 4.0, downloaded the dmg, launched it and now Firefox will not open at all.

    I was told I had to upgrade Firefox to 4.0, downloaded the dmg, launched it and now Firefox will not open at all. It tells me "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items." Also, that "Firefox cannot be opened because of a problem." And it give a bunch of code. This is my main browser. What is happening here? My OS X is 10.6.7. Has this caused a problem?

    If you right-click on your Photoshope.exe, select Properties, there should be a Compatibility tab. There you can select Windows XP, Windows 2000, Winows 98 or 95. One of these should allow you to open Photoshop 6, unless you mean CS6.
