The Downloads window will not open. How can I fix it?

I am using Firefox 4.0.1 on my Mac 10.6.7. I have been using Firefox 4 since April, but two days ago my Tools>Downloads command (keyboard shortcut cmd-J) quit working. My downloaded items do go into the downloads folder, but I cannot access the folder through the Tools menu nor the cmd-J command.
I have deleted and reinstalled 4.0.1 and deleted the Firefox preferences in the Library, but the problem persists.
Any ideas?

Are there any messages in the Tools > Error Console about this?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

    my wireless mouse moves the pointer but does not scroll, how can I fix this?

    Check the setting in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > mouse options.. button > check scrolling.
    If you have an older mouse with the trackball, it might just need cleaning.  Turn the mouse over and rub the trackball vigorously on paper or microfiber cloth.

    My iPhone 4 will not open my purchased apps, anyone know what is going on? I just recently bought a new laptop and downloaded iTunes onto and synced my phone. I was also talking on my phone and it died, then I charged it and that is when the apps would no longer open. My mail, and iPod and safari work just not the purchased apps, if anyone know please write back!:)

    Try downloading any free app to resync your iTunes account.

  • Iphoto will not open. how can i fix it?

    iphoto will not open when i click on it. my photos are still on my computer but i cant see them in iphoto. i tried to repair disk permissions but nothing happened. i really don't want to loose my pics. what should i do?

    What happens when you click on iPhoto? Does it bounce in the Dock?  Do nothing at all?  What version of iPhoto are you running?
    Assuming you're running iPhoto 11 make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
      Fix #1
    delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select options #1, #2 and #6. 
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • My adobe cloud will not open, how do I fix this?

    I have tied to repair, uninstall and reinstall.  The most I have gotten is the window for the cloud to open showing the program is there but it does not open at all.
    How do I fix this on windows 7?

    no the Adobe cloud window opens..the links for the programs dont work on the Cloud screen.  Its never happened before.  I did find the program and after uninstalling and reinstalling it will come up in programs.  But why it crashed fist of all and then why I had nothing at first, then the cloud window, then the program would go no further.  All the other links work on my desktop. Just not the Adobe.

    Not a nice answer!
    Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
    You're ignoring context.  On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers.  The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies.  Then came Lion.  The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest.  (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable.  (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
    People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems.  I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there.  Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
    The people helping here are all volunteers.  None of them is being paid for the time they spend here.  They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities.  It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

    IOS 7.1.1 doesn't show a "days to sync" parameter anywhere in SETTINGS/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/ACCOUNTS/GMAIL Account/ GMAIL Acccount Info.  There is nothing in iTunes relating to such an option either.  So, it seems I'm back to square one.
    If you have a decent mail provider like Microsoft Hotmail or Outlook.com mail it does.
    If you have Gmail it does not.  Quite right. Gmail is rubbish.

    speaker on phone calls will not work, how can I fix this? I have already done system restart and reset to manufature default. I also have no voice with Safari or any other apps including music!

    If your speaker is broken, then you may need to get a repair done.
    Are you unable to hear anything at all, or is it just one speaker in particular?
    If it is just one speaker, where's it located?

  • The downloads window does not open

    I am running Beta 4.0b7 and whilst I am able to download files I cannot see the downloads window.
    I have tried selecting the window via tools and downloads but it does not appear. However, after doing this it is listed in the 'window' menu, although it still does not appear if I click.
    I have already followed Mozilla's troubleshooting on this issue but to no avail. It does not show up in Safe Mode either
    Any help appreciated.
