Disable file download

Dear all,
I use Firefox 25/26/27 on Debian Wheezy (7) and i want to disable file download.
I don't want to be ask by the download manager, just reject the file.
There is any way to do this ?
Or it's impossible ?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
I already saw this plugin, but it don't do what i want.
I am still ask by the download manager for accept or cancel the download.
If the link is for download file, i don't want to be ask, i want that Firefox just reject automatically the download.
But i didn't find anything for the moment.
Edit:
I think it's not possible to disable download with firefox.

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

  • Java WebDynpro's and IE security settings for file download

    We have a EP 7.0 SP13 environment on which we have deployed a number of own developed java webdynpro's. In some of these webdynpro's we provide the file download functionality. The portal and webdynpro's are used by both internal personnel and external customers.
    On the other hand the default Internet security settings for Internet Explorer, disable "Automatic prompting for file downloads".
    When a user, with these default security settings active, tries to use our webdynpro's file download functionality, the screen seems to refreshes but no file download starts. When (s)he retries, the session runs for some minutes and gives following error message:
    "com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.session.LockException: Thread SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_20 failed to acquire exclusive lock on client session ClientSession".
    This behavior is explained in SAPNote 1234847. Webdynpro provides a single-thread module, meaning a user session is blocked for the during of the request. And because the previous file download isn't yet completed the new try can't start.
    Issue now, although the users IE settings allow file downloads and don't block pop up's, he can't download the file and even isn't made aware of the cause of the failure.
    How can we avoid this issue, without having to communicate the
    application requires specific browser settings?

  • Jar files downloaded from SkyDrive are being renamed to jar.zip files

    I have cut and pasted the following series of exchanges from when I posted the problem onto SkyDrive's support forum. I hope that someone might be able to propose a better solution to the problem that I have. Thanks for your help.

    Uploaded jar files convert to jar.zip files when downloaded from SkyDrive
    I have uploaded an executable jar file to SkyDrive. (I will call this FILE.jar). The file is intact and indicates that it is a jar file type when the file is viewed by Properties within Skydrive. However, when I download (or others download through a share link) the file, it is being saved onto the local computer's download file with .zip appended to the file name (FILE.jar.zip). The downloaded file can be renamed to remove the .zip appendage and subsequently run successfully. However the folder options for the folder where the downloaded file resides must be changed for disable "Hide known file extensions" prior to being able to remove the .zip appendage. While I have figured out the workaround for this problem, this manual renaming procedure is entirely too cumbersome as a solution for sharing this file with others. How can I prevent or disable the FILE.jar file from being renamed to FILE.jar.zip when it is downloaded from SkyDrive?

    The file was uploaded by first logging onto my SkyDrive account using Windows 7 Pro and Firefox browser, then a new folder in my account was created without sharing privileges, then the folder was opened and the FILE.jar was uploaded into the folder using the "Upload" option on skydrive account menu. Sharing privileges for FILE.jar were then created (view only), and the shortened url link was sent to the individuals that I was trying to share the file with. was then turned on. When these people use the link to download the file, it is being saved as FILE.jar.zip.
    When I try to download the file through the skydrive account download option, it is being saved onto my computer as FILE.jar.zip and this occurs when I try to download the file while signed into my skydrive account as well as when I am not signed into my skydrive account (using the shared file link).
    This PNG shows the information provided by clicking on the download icon (down arrow) within the Firefox browser; note that the file was downloaded as FILE.jar.zip and that the source was live.com. When I use Windows Explorer to look at the same file within the Download folder itself, examining the file's properties details also shows that it is being saved as FILE.jar.zip and is of the file type compressed zip folder.
    This PNG shows the information displayed to me from my skydrive account when I view the originally uploaded file's properties; note that the information shows that the file is a jar file type.
    When I utilize Internet Explorer 9 to access the file, FILE.jar is being downloaded onto my computer as a jar file type. This PNG shows the information provided by Tools/View Downloads within the IE9 browser. Note that in this instance, the information indicates that the file is being downloaded from yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com.
    It appears to me that the problem (the FILE.jar file being renamed to FILE.jar.zip) arises from the fact that a jar file downloaded from skydrive using firefox, is being sent from live.com whereas a jar file downloaded from skydrive using IE9 is being sent from yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com.
    I want to make sure that a person receiving a share link from me for FILE.jar is able to download it without modification to the file name regardless of which browser is being using to access the link. How can I make sure that this occurs?
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi MDSms,
    I appreciate you for providing as much information as you can about the issue, as well as for uploading screenshots on what you see from the downloaded file. About your initial concern wherein the file gets renamed with .zip after the original file extension, this is solely dependent on the browser that you are using since they have a different safety/security measure that needs to be implemented.
    Moreover, you may see the file servers live.com and yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com to be different with one another, but they actually are sent from the same SkyDrive server. This in turn, depends on the web browser where the file is being downloaded as well. The live.com file where it was downloaded from Firefox simply masks its original server yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com.
    As for your last query about your recipients downloading the file without the hassle of renaming it from a .zip file, you can simply tell them to download it through Internet Explorer.
    Should you have other queries or additional information that might help in our investigation, I highly encourage you to post them here.
    Regards,
    Michelle

    Michelle,
    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I could simply tell them to download the file through Internet Explorer, but is there another solution or workaround to the problem I have described here? Am I being punished with the curse of this problem simply because I (or the individuals with which I wish to share FILE.jar with) choose to use Firefox instead of IE? Will the use of any other browser instead of IE (Chrome, Safari, etc., etc.) still result in the same problem?
    You stated that it is "solely dependent on the browser that you are using since they have a different safety/security measure that needs to be implemented"........could the problem be overcome by designating one or both of the file server addresses as Trusted Sites within the browser options setting?
    I look forward to your response. Thanks in advance.

    Hi MDSms,
    We understand your concern. Since the issue does not occur in Internet Explorer, it has something to do with Firefox's security feature. You might want to verify this concern by contacting Firefox support.
    Hope this helps. Let us know if we can further assist you with SkyDrive.
    Thanks,

    Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

  • Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Try two things with Safari not running:
    1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using".  If it's checked, try unchecking it.
    2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin.  If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
    Then see how things work.

  • Cisco IPS 4240 stops file downloads at 90%

    Hi everybody. I have a Cisco IPS 4240 with version 7.0.4 installed and upgraded to the last signature. But since it was installed i have the issue with some file downloads because the IPS stops the file at 90-99% of download percentage (in some cases, not all), The ips is inline in front of firewall, some partner say me that i have to change the mode to promiscuous for the solution of the issue, but i think that if the IPS was designed for work inline, i dont have to change anything and maybe some expert of the forum have the correct answer.  Or this issue have solution with configuration changes.
    Sorry by my write english.... I try to find some signature that causes the issue but if i disabled the sensor, the issue occurs. The firewall is not the problem because if i connect a laptop in front of the firewall and behind of IPS the issue occurs too. Well i have now some months trying of find a solution. In the page of Cisco not find some similar.... [:-(
    Pd. An example of files that stop when downloads is Apple Itunes... or Microsoft Patch, or Vmware software by example.
    Thanks for your response are greatly appreciated.

    Thnaks for your help this is the last packets before freeze the download:
    The size of the download with problems is random, sometimes ocurrs with small size downloads sometimes ocurrs with large downloads. The download of the example have 47 MB, I think that the traffic is dropped and the tcp conn timeout. Do you see some anomalies in this traffic portion?.

  • Disable auto-download

    How do I disable automatic file downloading in Safari 7.0.6? I would like to set up Safari so that before downloading a file I am asked whether or not I would like to download the given file.
    Thanks!

    Go to Safari > Preferences then select the General tab.
    Deselect: Open "safe" files after downloading
    Another way to access Safari Preferences.  Command ,  (comma) will open Safari > Preferences for you.

  • Anybody have a resolution for PRIAMOS file download using a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and Adobe Reader XI?

    Does anyone have experience of the EU PRIAMOS file download system? I am experiencing difficulties in downloading files in Adobe Reader format ( I have set the default PDF reader to Adobe Reader).
    The PRIAMOS system can only communicate with Windows 32bit - Mozilla Firefox 2 and higher or......
    IE 6 or 7
    IE 7 or 8 (in compatibility mode)
    Supported PDF programmes are:
    Adobe Reader 8.1 or higher
    My Adobe Reader software is the latest version (Adobe Reader XI for Mac with latest update as at 10 Sept 2013)
    The PRIAMOS system does not officially support Mac computers, but PRIAMOS has been used successfully with OS X version 10.5.8 (Leopard) and Mozilla Firefox (2.5) (with built in PDF reader disabled and Adobe Reader enabled) and Adobe Reader 8.1
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated

    Oops, I hit return before I was finished!
    In short, does anyone have any ideas apart from those I've tried. One solution seems to be to go back to 10.6.4 - one of the other discussions seem to indicate that the probelm comes in with 10.6.8.
    Thanks!

  • HT203433 I can't consistently disable automatic downloads from iTunes

    I keep trying to disable automatic downloads from iTunes (don't want TV shows I've purchased through my Apple TV to download onto my computer), by going to iTunes - Preferences - Store - and it works for a while, then it starts to automatically download these TV shows again when I open iTunes. So it works some of the time, but not consistently. Very frustrating! Can anyone help?

    After reading some of the similar posts on here, I tried removing all the items from the iTunes downloads folder on my hard drive, and signing out from the iTunes store. Signing out from the iTunes store solved the problem temporarily, but as soon as I signed in again, the automatic downloads started again. When I looked in the iTunes downloads folder, there they were again - the .tmp files of the TV shows I DON'T want on my computer. Now I have another problem. When I went back into iTunes to check if the Store Preferences were still set to NO automatic downloads, I found those choices greyed out. They were still set to disable automatic downloads (no tick in those boxes) but now I can't change them at all. So I must have thrown out something I needed when I threw the contents of the downloads folder into the trash, and then emptied the trash. I tried to get the trash back using Time Machine, but couldn't find it in there. Sighhhh! I'm at my wits end and now I'm afraid to make things any worse than they already are.

  • Orarrp, IE file download dialog screen always asks before opening

    orarrp 1.3.4 working, but under IE5.5, the File Download dialog
    screen is activated when the web.show_document(<url>,'_BLANK')
    call is made, where the extension of the file is ".rrpa".
    The checkbox which reads "Always ask before opening this type of
    file" is checked and disabled. This means that user intervention
    is always required.
    When I open the .rrpa file directly in IE (the file is available
    on a locally attached drive -- that is, not as a URL at this
    point), IE opens and immediately prints the .rrpa file.
    Obviously the restrictions here are based on internet security
    settings, however, I've been unable to overcome this problem.
    There do not seem to be options in IE, nor in the
    characteristics of the file types themselves.
    Question: How do I set my environment to enable the "Always
    ask ...." check box, so it can be uncheck?

    I have no solution to my problem -- just more research results.
    From MS's support database, article Q232077, IE has a
    predefined, hard-coded list of file extensions that it
    inherently distrusts, which results in the "Always ask before
    opening" option to be checked and grayed out. The hard-coded
    list does NOT include orarrp extensions (such as .rrpa), but
    instead, extensions like .exe, .com, .bat, .cmd.
    Nonetheless, ".rrpa" is still seems to be treated as a
    permanently distrusted application -- I do not know why.
    To quote the aforementioned article: "[T]he File Download dialog
    box is not preventable in any way. This includes the use of HTML
    tags, script in the page, hosting the WebBrowser control, and
    changing security zone options."
    The article does go on to describe IE/Windows only solutions:
    <IFRAME> tag pointing to a shared Windows directory using MS's
    UNC; and ActiveX/cab construction and deployment. Clearly,
    neither is a solution.
    I can't quite conclude that there is no solution under IE, but
    its close.

  • Jnlp file downloads then opens in TextEdit

    Have multiple Macs running 10.5.7 w/latest software update. Each trying to use the same web application. Web app downloads a .jnlp file. For most Macs, it launches Java and life is good. On a lone Mac (so far), the .jnlp file downloads, but is opened by TextEdit. Check File Info, and it's associated with TextEdit, so there's the culprit. On the working Macs, the file is associated with Java Web Start.app. So, I figured I'd change the association on the Mac that's broken, but I can't find Java Web Start.app. It doesn't show up in Spotlight, so I use the locate command in Terminal and find it listed as being found in /Applications/Java. This folder does not exist on any of the Macs in this scenario. Where is it?! How do I fix the association for .jnlp files to be Java Web Start.app?
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem. After running the latest Java update, Java Web Start is gone. I have Xcode installed on my machine, but still don't have Java Web Start anywhere on my drive.
    I attempted to restore it to /Applications/Utilities/Java using Time Machine, but when I launched it, it merely crashed.
    I understand that part of the Java update was to patch a vulnerability that could be exploited through Java applications launched from the web, but I was under the impression that there was a fix that didn't simply involve disabling Java Web Start. Is there a new version of Java Web Start out there that doesn't crash with the new Java update? Alternately, is there a way to run a jnlp file without a working version of Java Web Start?
    I have a program that I absolutely need to have running in the next 30 minutes -- which doesn't give me enough time to roll back the whole update. Is it too much to expect Apple to fix what they broke with this update?

  • Disabling Automatic Download PLEASE!

    Can you disable automatic downloading in Safari? This is so annoying! I don't see any way of disabling it in preferences. I like to keep my downloads organized by selecting where I want to save them. Not having them all download into one folder. Its not always obvious what links are to a file so you end up with all kinds of random crap downloaded in one folder.

    Hi Ryan,
    I just wanted to find out if you ever found the answer to your question as I have the same problem as you do!!! If not, would anyone be able to help us out?
    Thanks so much!
