Why do multiple Download windows pop up when I download a PDF or other file?

Everytime I try to download a file (PDF, JPG, DOC) that was attached to an email (I am using Outlook WebMail) the document will download fine HOWEVER eight (8!!!) or more Download windows pop up as if I tried to download that file eight (or more) times.
So then I have to "X" out of each window after downloading one file. It is the same file listed on each popup window.
Since this is a new problem I tried shutting down the computer and restart but not successful.
Firefox 26.0
Any help...PLEASE!?!?!?

THANKS Waka_Flocka_Flame!!!
(I pressed the "Problem Solved" button however it did not give me a chance to type anything so I found the thread and pressed "Reply")
Anyhoo...I went to Safe Mode and Firefox worked great. Went back to regular mode and again multiple Download windows when trying to download a file.
I then did as you suggested and poked around in the Add Ons and there was something called Download Manager Tweak that was upgraded last week and that was when the problems started. I got rid of it and my Downloads are working great.
THANKS AGAIN!!!

    Why does a finder window pop up when I open numbers?

    New Document is one click in the lower left of the opening window!  You could write an AppleScript to avoid that one click, but that may not be worth the candle.
    Note that after that one click you can save an additional click by specifying 'Use template:<your chosen template>' instead of 'Show Template Chooser' in Numbers > Preferences > General.

    After downloading a file, the Downloads window pops up but it is always empty. The files downloaded are not visible on this window. In order to access them, they must be sought out via windows explorer. Any ideas? Thanks.

    How can i get rid of this iidiotic pop-up. allple is changing for the worst. you have to buy a new macpro in order to upgrade to a higher system, sounds like obamacare.

    You have probably clicked on a mailto: web link which directs links to send e-mail messages to wherever the webmaster chooses.    Go to the View menu -> Show Statusbar if it available, and then make sure the bottom of your screen is visible.  When you hover over a link, if it says: mailto: it will open in your default e-mail reading application set by your browser or your e-mail program preferences.
    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Software Update lets you change how often you see the software update window.

    Open Pictures folder and move the files named lrcat-journal and lrcat.lock to Desktop.
    Make sure that , they are not inside Pictures folder any more and try to open backup from Lighrtroom and check..
    Any LRcat file with .lock extension , move it to Desktop.

    I have photoshop CS 4 extended.  Just recently I purchased a Canon 70D as well as a Dell 17 Inspiron with windows 7.  When I download my pictures from my camera to the computer, they will not open up in raw, only jpeg.  I contacted Canon, and they told my to try something but it did not work.  How do I get my raw pictures to open up in CS 4 on my new computer from my new Canon 70D?

    You will never be able to open your raw files from your new camera in CS4.
    You need version 8.7.1 of the Camera Raw plug-in (ACR), which only runs in CS6 and higher.
    You need to locate, download, install and run the free, stand-alone application Adobe DNG Converter on each batch of raw files from that camera, in order to convert them to raw DNG files that can be subsequently opened by ACR in CS4.
    Remember you need to launch and run the DNG Converter on each folder (not files) containing your Canon raw files.  THe DNG Converter doesn't do it magically for you just sitting on your HD.
    Or you can upgrade.

  • CC window pops up when switching desktops in Mac OS X 10.8.4

    I have just updated all my apps to CC. Everything looks fine so far. The only glaring annoyance I see is that the CC window pops up when switching desktops in Mission Control. I normally work with four to five desktops and switch frequently between them. The CC window keeps popping up from the menu bar icon even though there is nothing new to report or alert. Is this a bug, or is there some way to stop this?
    P.S. I just tried selecting "Open As Window..." and the problem goes away. However, if I then select "Pin to Menu Bar..." again, at first it will seem to stay quiet between desktop switches, but as soon as I open the window the first time and close it again, it will resume the annoying behavior when switching between desktops. Seems like a bug to me.

    Hi Geezjan,
    I recently responded to another user which was reporting the same thing. I've passed this info on to our engineering team. Thanks for letting us know.

  • Why does Dreamweaver upload a blank page when i "put" a .php or .html file that I just edited. It's

    Why does Dreamweaver upload a blank page when i "put" a .php or .html file that I just edited. It's like Dreamweaver isn't putting the complete file. So when i check my work (refresh the page), it is now blank. This happens about 50 percent of the time and can occur with any of the websites I maintain. (If I pull out my macbookpro, i can edit and upload the page, but the screen is smaller and i would rather be at my desktop). I am using CS5 on a MacPro, operating system 10.7.5.

    I've never heard of that type of error before. If it were happening to me, here are a few things I would do...
    Verify it's DW
         Download Filezilla (free and very nice in reality) and make sure it uploads correctly from there to rule out connection issues
    Rebuild Site Cache
         From the Files window of your site, click the menu and go to Site > Recreate Site Cache
    Delete DW File Cache
         If the above does nothing, I'd kill my DW Cache File: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
    Uninstall, clean, reinstall
         Uninstall the program, use the cleaner tool here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html to kill everything (Adobe leaves behind things that are picked up again in a normal uninstall/reinstall) then reinstall it.

    I have photoshop CS4 with the newest update. I'm a photographer and just purchased the new canon 7d mk II. Today, I shot some photos on raw but am unable to pull them up in photoshop. A window pops up saying "photoshop cannot recognize this type of file. The thumbnails are white with a blue and white CR2 on them. Please help.

    Adobe Camera Raw 5.7 is the latest for Photoshop CS4 Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
    The problem is that your new camera is supported by ACR 8.7 and only Photoshop CS6 and up supports this version.
    So if you do not want to buy CS6 or subscribe to the $10/month Photography Program, you have to convert the CR2 files to DNG to work on them. Your original CR2s are untouched in the process, you just can't directly edit them in CS4, only the DNGs.
    Maybe Canon offers editing software for their CR2s, but CS4 is not going to be updated and there is no way around that.
    It's not what you want to hear, but that's the situation so far.
    Maybe Elements or Lightroom has updated raw support for your camera, so I encourage you to visit those forums and ask.

    I just started a free trial of the Adobe XI product that allows me to create an editable PDF. I'm done creating the form and ready to export it. When I click Export PDF from the File menu, it says Adobe encountered an unexpected error. What am I doing wrong?

    Good to know  — there is no such application as "Adobe XI".
    "Adobe" is the name of the company.
    "XI" is indicative of the use of either Acrobat XI or Reader XI.
    Neither Acrobat XI Pro (for which Adobe provides a free, fully functional 30-day trial) nor Adobe Reader XI (the free to download and use PDF viewer that Adobe provides) have  an "Export PDF" entry under "File".
    "Export PDF" only is present in Adobe Reader XI over on the right on the "Tools" panel.
    The "Tools" panel provides a way for a user of Adobe Reader XI to connect to various By Subscription online services (gotta pay eh).
    Export PDF is one of these. A subscription lets you send a PDF file to the online internet service (aka "cloud" service). The service then exports to a supported file format (Word / Excel / ...) and the user selects / directs where the output file is to be saved on the user's local machine.
    Of course to use any of the online subscription services one must have an active (paid up in full) subscription to the service.
    So ---- As described the puzzle pieces don't fit eh.
    What specific Adobe (the company) applications are you using?
    Acrobat XI Pro? Adobe Reader XI? Both? 
    Be well....
