How do I open a downloaded Zip file from firefox in android platform

as above . I downloaded a file off the net via a link and its an ebook in ZIP format. The android version of Firefox refuses to allow me to do anything with it

Hi,
In order to open ZIP files, you have to download an app to enable the opening of the ZIP. Here's one you can use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.winzip.android
Next, when you install that, open it and go to your Download directory. It should either be in sdcard0, sdcard, or sdcard1, then go to Download.
Once you find it, touch and hold the file, then click '''Unzip here''' and it will extract the files in the ZIP folder.
Let me know if this works!

  • I have a problen in opening or downloading pdf file from firefox browser.

    I am not able to view or download PDF files in firebox browser from varies site such as http://www.careerjunction.org.in .it simply shows black page and then blank.I check the add on list and it shows me Adobe firefox plugin.Pls help as every time i has to copy the PDF url from firefox to IE to download.

    Hi BalusC,
    thanks for your immediate response.
    as you correctly pointed out its not XLS but a csv file that works fine.
    I just tried my luck for XLS file, but as you said it does not work for XLS file as well. original file contained images which were lost
    after the download and garbage characters got inserted in.
    I will have a look at the code you have given link of.
    but for reading/writing I am using inputstream/outputstream but doing that through reader and writer.
    like this
    br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(
    fileName.toString()), charsetName));
    and for writing
    outputStream = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(
    response.getOutputStream(), charsetName));
    you mean to say I should not use reader writer?

  • Why can't I open or download PDF files in Firefox

    Why can't I open or download PDF files in Firefox.  In Safari PDF files open automatic.  Firefox won't open anything.

  • How to prevent automatically opening of downloaded zip-files?

    I have a problem to install an extension in Joomla. Joomla asks for a Zip-file. When I download the zip-file from the website, the zip-file is shown in Finder as a folder, i.e. an opened zip-file. Joomla does not see a folder, because it looks for a zip-file. I have a terrible solution, but I am sure others will know a better one. I used my old Windows computer, downloaded the zip-file that in Windows shows the extension .zip. Copy the file to Finder and now it shows in Finder the file as a zip-file. So, I suppose that my OS X (now Yosemite, but it happened already under Maverics) or my Safari changes a zip-file in an opened form. I could not find a way to change this to the state that Safari, Finder or OS X is not automatically opening zip-files.

    Choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click on General, and uncheck the box to automatically open safe files.

  • How do I change my settings so Firefox will NOT always open a downloaded .amz file in Firefox?

    When downloading .amz files from Amazon I made the mistake of selecting "Open with Firefox - Do this automatically from now on."
    [http://www.briancarlock.com/Picture-2.jpg] < example
    How do I undo this selection so that Firefox doesn't automatically try to open all .amz files I download in the future?

    looks like this may be the solution:

  • How can I open a downloaded Program-File?

    I loaded down a Program. When I opened the download Dir under Firefox I can see the downloaded File (with time of download). But the entry of Open is not active and therefore I can´t start the installation of the program.
    I have admin rights.

    You can not run executable files from within Firefox, this is a security measure to prevent the spread of viruses. Once downloaded you can run the file from Windows Explorer.
    If you want the option to run executable files from Firefox you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10902/ OpenDownload] add-on.

  • Safari will not open or download pdf files from web?

    Safari will not open or downlaod pdf files from web? IS there a setting, or something else to do this?

    Open browser preferences
    ex Safari>Preferences>Extentions   and un-enable any ext that mabe interferring , ex divX
    or open Help> installed Plug-ins and remove Adobe Acrobat.
    if still a problem
    Quit Safari.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    A Finder window will open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
    Launch Safari and test. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. If it works as expected, recreate the settings and delete the item you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place.

  • I am having trouble downloading zip files from an e-mail to Firefox and want to know if Firefox is where I should be downloading the zip file.

    I have never downloaded a file from an e-mail, so I am "dancing in the dark" on this. When I download the file from the e-mail, I cannot determine what support engine I should place it in. One choice given me was Microsoft Work Words but when I select it, I can go no further.

    I have the same configuration:
    10.7.2 Aperture 3.2.2
    When I drag an image from one project to another it just moves to the other project - no special preference settings required.
    If there are several versions of the same image, all versions go along with the image.
    If the images are stacked, all versions and all of the stack move to the new project.
    Only if images are synched with other services, iCloud, MobileMe then occasionally they appear again in their original albums. Are your images part of synched albums?

    I have a Canon 70D and my old lightroom3 will not download raw files even though I have downloaded DNG 8.5 on my iMac. how can I overcome this problem?

    I was being lazy and hoping that Adobe might have created some sort of patch which would allow me to import directly from my camera to lightroom
    Neither Adobe, nor any other company that produces a Raw converter, ever retrospectively adds new camera support to old (obsolete) versions of their software.
