Can't figure out why the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" is disabled Compressed (zipped) Folders

I recently had to uninstall and reinstall Firefox. Now with the new version it will not allow me to click the check box "Do this automatically for files like this from now on". The line is disabled and a light gray. I went into the Applications tab under options and can't find the Compressed (zipped) Folders file type either.
I download a bunch of files for work and to have to click is going to be the biggest pain. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

  • When downloading a file, I select "Save File", but I'm unable to check the box label "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." The box is faded out. It's very tedious when you have to select "Save File" everytime

  • Ho do i unselect the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." in the download dialog box?

    I have mistakenly clicked on the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" in the download dialogue box. I want to open a pdf in adobe when I click on the link. currently the file just gets saved and I cannot change it. I have read thru the suggestions and gone into tools> options> applications and reassigned all of the pdf options to ask first and firefox still just downloads the files to somewhere. I don't want this option and I need to unselect the automatic box.
    How do i do so?
    I would really like to talk to someone on the phone.

    Ok, do this:
    #Go to www.getfirefox.com, and download Firefox. Install it over your current version of Firefox
    #After installing Firefox 18, then try to Reset.

  • Download file keeps asking to save although "Do this automatically for files like this from now " is checked

    After downloading a open office document from a server I always get the question to open or to save it. I checked to open the file after downloading it to a tempory map.
    After downloading another open office document I always get the same question even when I checked "Do this automatically for files like this from now ".
    Is there a possibility to get rid of the question?

    Cor-el
    Tx for the reply but no answer found in the article.
    "Once you have made a selection, checking the box "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." will cause the file type and action to be displayed in the Applications tab as shown below (in this example the selected application is TextEdit)."
    FF works like described in the quote but nothing about immediately opening the file with the specified program. I've tested several possibilities but I always get the question what to do before opening the file. The "automatically"-option doesn't work for open office.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Firefox will not recognize when I change the settings for .torrent and .rar files to "do this automatically for files like this from now on", EVEN AFTER I change the setting in Tools Options Applications.

    Um, why is this? I think my Question pretty much covers it. Is there a way I can fix the settings so Firefox automatically opens .torrent files and .rar files with the programs I tell it to always use?

    I'm sorry to hear that you didn't receive a reply to this problem. As far as I can tell, there '''is''' no reply or solution to this problem so far, as I have exactly the same problem too.
    One solution that I did try (and which worked, but not for my exact needs) was to tell Firefox to ''always'' '''save''' the torrents to the download folder. Then, in your personal torrent program, change the settings so that torrents from the download folder are automatically searched and added. In this way, torrents are automatically loaded in your torrent program. However, for me, I need to see the contents of the torrent before I download it all, which wasn't possible with this method. If that isn't important to you, this should be a sufficient solution.

  • Everytime I click a link to view a wmv file the save or open dialog comes up. Do this automatically for files like this from now on is checked.

    Firefox 4.0.1 ... I am running XP Home, Sp-3.
    The dialog box keeps coming up. In Options/Applications
    the item is set to open with the plugin.
    Still the dialog come up each time, then the downloader appears and finally windows media player.
    My vista machine does not have this problem. I have installed the Windows Media Player Plugin.
    IE opens media player immediately.

    If you can't find it there then you will have to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

  • How do i make firefox automatically open a file. "Do this automatically with files like this from now on." does NOT work.

    I have firefox set to Open .wav files with VLC and i have the check box marked to "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." But every time i click download for a .wav voicemail from gmail, i get the same dialog box. I just want firefox to hand the downloaded file to VLC and play it. I don't want to have to click anything after i click the download link. Isn't that action what i'm telling firefox to do after i mark the checkbox with "Do this automatically with file like this from now on." ? Isn't that implied with my selection of the box? How can i fix this?i want to click a "download" link for a .wav voice mail in Gmail and have it automatically play in VLC without any further interaction from me.

    No it's saving the preferences and the check box remains checked from session to session. It will even continue to ask me to what to do with the file even in the same session when i try to download the same file again 5 seconds after i downloaded it the first time.

    1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
    If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
    2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
    4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

  • Apex bug?  Items being cleared in session state - can't figure out why

    I have an item that is being submitted with a value but is then being overwritten and set to null. I can't see any reason why the submitted value is being overwritten with null.
    I have been debugging this problem for most of the day and can't figure out what is happening and was hoping someone in the forum might be able to shed some light.
    Some details:
    The item is on Page 0, has source type of "PL/SQL Expression or Function", a source expression of "V('REQUEST')", and Source Used = "Always".
    I viewed the HTML source of the rendered page and can see the following HTML, so I know the item has a value when the page is rendered:
    <input type="hidden" id="RENDER_REQUEST" name="p_t08" value="EDIT" />
    I have used Firebug to view the HTTP POST body and can see that p_t08 is being correctly submitted with a value of "EDIT" in the post body.
    When I run the page in debug mode and then view the debug log, I see that Apex is indeed setting this item to null:
         0.01500     0.01600     A C C E P T: Request="WIZ_NEXT"
         0.23400     0.00000     Session State: Save form items and p_arg_values
         0.24900     0.01600     ...Session State: Save "BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ID" - saving same value: ""
         0.24900     0.00000     ...Session State: Save "ROWS_PER_PAGE" - saving same value: ""
         0.26500     0.01500     ...Session State: Save "P0_CLEAR_WS" - saving same value: ""
         0.26500     0.00000     ...Session State: Saved Item "RENDER_REQUEST" New Value=""
    I can't figure out why the item is being set to null.
    This problem also does not occur on every page. The pages in question are a multi-step "wizard" that allows the user to navigate between steps with "Next" and "Previous" buttons. Since this is a page 0 item, it appears on every page in the wizard so I'd expect it to behave the same. When you open the wizard at step 1 and press next to go to step 2, the item (RENDER_REQUEST) is set correctly on step 2 of the wizard, BUT when you then click Next to go to step 3, RENDER_REQUEST is null on step 3. If you open the wizard at step 2 and press Next, RENDER_REQUEST is null on step 3.
    I did find a work around, but it doesn't make any sense why it would work: if I move the RENDER_REQUEST item from the "Footer Items" region to a page level item (by using Edit All and setting its region to blank), then the problem goes away. If I move it back to the "Footer Items" region the problem reoccurs.
    I am working on Application Express 4.0.2.00.07 on Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you.

    Hi Patrick,
    Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this on apex.oracle.com due because the app requires PL/SQL packages to be installed in several schemas, including some that require system grants (I gave a presentation at Oracle Open World a couple of years ago on some of the techniques I used in building this application that you attended; I think the session was called "Building Large Commercial Applications with Oracle Database 11g and Oracle Application Express").
    Is there another way we can work together to debug this without reproducing it apex.oracle.com? For example, if you could send me an instrumented version of the APEX_040000.F procedure (or whatever procedure is clearing the session state) that has some additional APEX_APPLICATION.DEBUG calls, I could install it on my server, reproduce the error and send you the output.
    Thank you,
    Eric

  • I tried to Skype someone but I can't see them but they can see me and I can't figure out why?

    I tried to Skype somebody and they can see me but I can't see them and I can't figure out why?

    I'll guess that you're upgrading from Snow Leopard? You should be able to start using your original install dvd by inserting the disc and restarting while holding the C key. Run Disk Utility from your install disc  and try to repair the drive. Then try the upgrade again.

    Sounds to me like you've almost cracked it!
    You have one error that could cause problems and that's the stray </blockquote> tag.  Just delete it.
    The alt="" text will show as an error on the validator but that's easy to fix and worth doing.
    Here's an easy article on that: http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200412/the_alt_and_title_attributes/
    In one of your CSS files (JonzheaderindexCSS.css) you have this:
    body {
    margin-top: 20px;
    padding: 0;
    color: #666;
    font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: normal;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-color: #E1B852;
    background-image: url(../images/orange%20plaid.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat;
    html { overflow-y: scroll; }
    It should be like this:
    html {
    overflow-y: scroll;
    body {
    margin-top: 20px;
    padding: 0;
    color: #666;
    font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: normal;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-color: #E1B852;
    background-image: url(../images/orange%20plaid.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat;
    It looks like you have that rule repeated further down the page like this:
    html { overflow-y: scroll; }
    There's an extra curly brace there (}) anyway, so it is badly formed but the whole rule and extra curly brace can go.
    You can fix those errors but I have a sneaky suspicion that it isn't gong to solve the issue you describe.
    Fix those issues anyway and post back.  Maybe if you can show a screen shot of what you are seeing in DW it might help?
    Martin
    PS: It's never a good idea to have file names on the web that have spaces in.  Your background rule has this:
    background-image: url(../images/orange%20plaid.jpg);
    That .jpg should be orangeplaid.jpg or orangePlaid.jpg or orange_plaid.jpg and the change should be reflected in the reference to the image so, orangePlaid.jpg should be:
    background-image: url(../images/orangePlaid.jpg);

    Well, one extreme that I eventually had to go to was inserting a new row with only the primary keys, which were numerical columns, while just setting the strings to empty values.
    INSERT INTO Courses VALUES(?,?,?,1,0,?,'','','','','','','','','')
    Access finally seemed to handle this without barfing.
    Then, I updated each string column ...if you can believe it ...one at a time in a for loop from a custom 'RowUpdateSet' object. This actually worked well because eventually I also used it to update the row when necessary, and to only update columns whose values had changed. One teeny weeny snippet from a great deal of code looked like this...
      for ( int i=1; i<length; i++ ) {
        if ( updateSet.getUpdateColumn( i ) ) {
          synchronized ( updateSet ) {
            scrollResults.updateObject(i,(String)updateSet.getUpdateValue(i));
            scrollResults.updateRow();
      }I guess I will likely get flamed for participating in this whole discussion, because it all does become quite irrational. I can see why peoples initial response is likely ..."what, couldn't you even debug your own sql string bozo?" All I know is, there seems to be insert statements that Access just mysteriously refuses to perform ...and it has nothing to do with terminated strings or syntax errors. How you choose to perservere and 'get the job done' is probably as unique to each individual as is the whole mysterious error in the first place. I just got tired of staring at what appeared to be a totally disfunctional environment and decided to go around the problem and get done with the project ...which eventually worked like a charm.
    This is exactly what I meant when I said don't look too closely or you might wind up distrusting this technology you are working with on a day to day basis. Frankly, the more I work with technology the more I realize that I, for example, will never use my credit card over the web (particularly with .NET in the picture). I am sure you can find another way to get to the results you want if you think about it creatively. I got my project done. I just didn't get there in the way I had expected I would. Maybe that's not even a bad thing, even though it can be extremely frustrating at times. When we look at all the disclaimers that come with software these days, or look at faster and faster computers that just run slower and slower, maybe we shouldn't expect so much from technology. At least Java allows you to write your own logic and often work around these impediments ...which is still alot better than being stuck with .COM libraries that force you to abandon a project half way through when you find out the library fails to live up to its claims in the reference manual.
    Sorry your project is on hold at the moment. If no one else answers, start a new thread that asks your question again, and I will butt out. Maybe there is someone who has found out what causes this issue. After all, I can only speak from my own experiences ...and I am far from being an authority on any issue surrounding technology. Good luck, and don't give up. I am sure there is a way to get where you want to go.
    After saying all that, I realize kev wrote a response while I was composing this one. As he implores, yes ...do be certain you have eliminated all the obvious possibilities before you adventure into any painfull work-arounds. Really, I wish you all the best of luck.
