Why don't my downloads on Firefox complete? They get stuck at 98%.

I used to use Firefox 13.0 on my MacBook Pro 13'' 2010 model. Everything used to work fine. Now, I have a Sager laptop with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 installed and firefox does not complete downloads on Windows 7. It works fine till it reaches about 98%, and then gets stuck. If I pause and continue the installation, the file gets corrupt. If I restart the download, the same deal happens. Till now, I have had to download using the Ubuntu partition and transfer to my windows 7 partition. This is getting annoying. I would very much appreciate a solution.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or 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.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

You will have to re-download corrupted files.

  • Why don't books download completely?

    I have purchased 2 books from the iTunes store and both downloads were incomplete.  I was missing chapters and pictures.  Both books are popular (Steve Jobs and Thinking, Fast and Slow) so they aren't obscure.  People must be downloading them all the time.  All iTunes support has told me is they will refund my money but won' tell me why it is happening and how to fix it. Why am I getting incomplete downloads?

    How can I get it to download?
    You can't because of:
    I'm running on Mac OS X 10.6.8
    All CC requires OSX 10.7 at least at this point.

  • Cannot open pdf files downloaded using firefox. They open fine using safari, and used to open fine before my latest update of firefox.????

    I am running the latest version of snow leopard on my mac. Since the last update of Firefox, I have not been able to open any newly downloaded pdf's. I get a message that says "The file cannot be opened.
    it may be damaged or use a file format that preview doesn't recognize."
    When I download using Safari, everything works fine. I have been using Firefox for a long time and all of my bookmarks are in Firefox.

    I also disabled adobe npapi plug-in and now the pdf files open as usual.

  • Movies downloaded to my ipad are getting stuck and I get a blank screen

    I donwload a couple episodes from a tv show, the first 3 episodes were great I saw them no problem, BUT then when I dowloaded the 4, I started watching and when it get to 75% of the episode stops, if I go back it gets stuck on the same part, then i get a blank screen and I have get out of the application if I get back on still the same blank screen, I downloaded the follwing episode from the same show and still the same problem.
    I though that it could be space on the Ipad -  I deleted some application and still the same problem....
    I don't want to keep downloading and paying for something that is not working properly
    This is only happening with I tunes - I'm able to watch ABC apps and Netflix...
    Can you help me?

    Have you tried copying them to your computer and seeing whether they play ok on your computer's iTunes, in case the download itself is corrupt ?
    If the Videos app is still stuck, then try searching for the name of one of the videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How can I view (and cancel) downloads that are waiting to begin? Why don't pending downloads appear on the downloads list (marked as "Pending" or "Waiting for other downloads to complete" or ...) ? In general, Firefox is a great browser. Thanks!

    I'm using Firefox 7.0.1 and Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2).

    Can you try the following for me.
    Run the microsoft fix it and have it uninstall AIR
    Delete the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe AIR (this might also be in Program Files(x86))
    Delete the folder: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe
    Delete the folder: C:\Users\chris\AppData\Local\Adobe\AIR
    Install AIR 3.2 by itself, from: http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/win/download/3.2/AdobeAIRInstaller.exe
    Install Adobe Community Help from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/air/350/AdobeHelp.air
    Does the AdobeHelp.air file install if you double click it?

  • Why don't additional downloaded lens profiles show up in LR5?

    Hi everyone! My name is Kai and this is my first post here. Normaly I find an answer to all my questions by reading already existing discussions. But this time I wasn't lucky...
    Hopefully this is not a stupid question.
    I downloaded lens profiles for the Rokinon 7.5 fisheye and created a folder named "Rokinon" in "Rsources", "LensProfiles", "1.0" (MAC OS) to put them in, but they don't show up in LR5 and I can't use them. What's wrong?
    Thanks, Kai.
    <moved by mod from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

    The correct location to place downloaded Lens profiles on a Mac is:
    Macintosh HD / Users / [your username] / Library / Application Support / Adobe / CameraRaw / LensProfiles /

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
    Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
    You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.

    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new 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
    * 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.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    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.

  • Why won't Forcastfox download to Firefox 9.01? It did in my laptop.

    I find the download page for Forcastfox and the download button. When I click the button, it depresses like it will download, but nothing downloads.

    Try a different browser.

  • Why don't I have the 'Firefox' button (Firefox 4) ?

    Several of the 'buttons' mentioned for Firefox 4 do not appear, most notably the yellow firefox bottom supposed to be at top left.

    Right click on Menu Bar and then uncheck Menu Bar option from the right click menu. You will see a orange Firefox Button in extreme left with tabs moving up.
    In case you need the menu bar in future as sometimes it is required for some options, you can easily get it by press F10 key. It displays the menu temporarily.
    Thnx for using Firefox.

  • Just changed to Lion - why don't my downloads now appear on my desktop?

    Not a very savvy user here, so could use some help please.
    Moved to Lion on my iMac.
    Now when I download a new program it doesn't show on my desktop so that I can open and install it - have to go looking for it.
    How can I make it appear on the desk top after downloading . Today it was adobe reader

    Downloads are in your Downloads folder for your protection, so you know they are Downloads as it's possible to become a victim of a driveby download attack, or click a trick link.
    It's best to not change this and keep the Downloads folder clear and not click on anything that appears in there unless your sure.
    Mac's are increasingly being the target of trojan installs and driveby downloads taking advantage of persons like yourself that are doing what your doing.
