Since latest Firefox automatic update, any downloaded jpg is saved as a firefox file and I cannot save as a jpg. Why?? Help please!!

Since the latest FF automatic update - any jpg I send to myself I cannot save as a jpg. This is so frustrating. I use my camera phone to take shots of our library activities and then to make newsletters, website updates etc. Just started this week. Today is the first day I noticed this problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today 7/28/10

You can rename the files and give them a .jpg file extension.
You can force that while saving the file if you add quotes around the name: "image.jpg"

  • 5.0.1 Firefox, application froze then crashed. Restarted it, but no 'restore session' and i've lost all my tabs. Help please?!?!

    Can anyone help please?

    Done config:restoresession, and nothing.

    There shouldn't be any numbered sessionstore-##.js in the Firefox Profile Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    The presence of such files usually indicates that that was a problem with accessing the main sessionstore.js file that prevented Firefox from renaming the temp file with the number.<br />
    In this case you may be lucky that the file with the highest number may have that session.<br />
    You can try to rename the file sessionstore-3.js to sessionstore.js to see if that brings back the lost tabs.
    If you use the Time Machine then you can try to restore a copy of sessionstore.js from around the time that you lost that session.

  • Since the last automatic update, Firefox has been running slow as molasses, with a refresh box coming up constantly. What can I do to correct this?

    Since the last automatic update (approx. one week ago) my Firefox has been running slow as molasses and I keep getting a "refresh" box popping up when the pages get hung up (very often)
    What can I do to correct this? I clean my cache out at least once daily - most days more. Virus scan says I'm clear of viruses - Glary Utilities tells me that all changes to my registry have been fixed (sneaky apps trying to get in) I'm going crazy because I am used to my FF being fast! HELP!!!

    If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Windows performed an automatic update. I am now unable to use Firefox. I receive an error message "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server". Windows IE works, Outlook works. What did Microsoft do to me this time?!!!

    Windows performed an automatic update on my PC this morning. Now, Firefox does not work other than in SAFE mode. I get "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server..." I downloaded and reinstalled the latest version of Firefox and get the same error message. IE works. MS Outlook works. What did Windows do to me this time?

    You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.
    See "Firefox connection settings":

  • June 10 2012 Firefox automatically updated itself (no choice) on my Intel Mac/Tiger 10.4.11. Can no longer use Firefox, so how do I get back the old one?

    June 10 2012 Firefox automatically updated itself (no choice) on my Intel Mac/Tiger 10.4.11. I can no longer use Firefox. I have an old version of Firefox on my Mac G4, but am scared to use that machine in case that Firefox also automatically updates itself. How can I transfer a copy of that older version of Firefox (from the G4) to the Intel Mac, and how do I stop both versions from then automatically updating? How do I then remove the updated version of Firefox from the Intel Mac, which I cannot use? Thank you for your help.

    esqki FF update to 13 and now you can't open ? sorry about that.
    1. Download (with your safari) a copy of the latest (3.6.28) from your 10.4.11 mac
    from
    ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.28/mac/
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded (3.6.28).
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.
    see also: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-mac?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Installing+Firefox+on+Mac Installing Firefox on Mac]
    after install the 3.6.28 version go to: Options > Advanced > Update tab > Firefox updates, check mark '''Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)''', click Ok to save it, exit firefox and restart it.

  • Firefox automatically updated to a version that will not run on my version of OSX... can I reinstall my old version and keep my saved bookmarks, etc?

    I am running OSX 10.4.11 on my iMac; Firefox automatically updated to version 12, and now it will not run on my computer.
    Is there a way to deinstall the new version while keeping my saved bookmarks, etc?
    If not, how do I deinstall 12 and reinstall the older version of Firefox that worked with my operating system?
    Thanks.

    [[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.4 or PowerPC processors]].
    You can install Firefox 3.6 from [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]. Please keep in mind that not only is Firefox not receiving any updates (thus rendering it insecure), neither is Mac 10.4 or any of the plugins used on it. Running such an old Operating System is dangerous to your information's security on the internet. something for you to keep in mind.

    Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.

    Have yu tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Restore the iPod via iTunes,  First from backup and if problems persist, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • HT5246 My computer won't let me select "automatically update safe downloads list"  What am I doing wrong?

    My computer won't let me select "automatically update safe downloads list"  What am I doing wrong?

    You are correct that is what I'm talking about.  I did install it. 
    Now I can't get the check box in the preferences security panel under the tab "general" that allows "automatically update safe downloads list" to stay checked.  Each time I unlock and check the box and then relock and close, the check mark disapears.  This is the problem.

  • HT3662 On my OS X v10.7.5 there is no "Automatically update safe downloads lists"

    On my OS X v10.7.5 there is no "Automatically update safe downloads lists" in the advanced security settings. There is however "Automatically install important security updates". I've ran every available update for my MAC, but the security features have not changed. How can I get this to update?

    Is that a question?
    Photo stream pictures can be viewed only on the devices they were sent to.  You can't transfer them back to your phone (or anywhere else).  If you didn't back up or import the photos to a computer, and they are no longer on your phone, they're gone.

  • Firefox dont show any preview, so i cant print. Firefox 4.0.1/MacOSX 10.6.7

    Firefox dont show any preview, so i cant print.
    Firefox 4.0.1/MacOSX 10.6.7

    Use "File" on the menu bar then "Print Preview", or
    press the red "Firefox" button, then "Print" then "Print Preview"
    Print Preview is all or nothing no such things a previewing a selection.
    Was there a Print Preview button before.
    The keyboard shortcut for Print Preview was reassigned to "Private Browsing".
    I'm on a PC and don't do much printing anyway, but there is no requirement to first preview before printing, and don't think a Mac would require print preview first either.
