Download Dialogue Box Won't Close

Sometimes when I am downloading transactions through my financial software (Quicken) the Download Dialog box refuses to close, even though I've set it to do so at the end of a download.
I found an article in the FF Help Database by using the search phrase "Hang downloading files" that says to either clear the downloads list/downloads history via the Tools pulldown or if that doesn't work, to delete the downloads.sqlite folder in my Profile. Well, I've had to delete the downloads.squlite folder several times, because after the intial removal of the file, the problem comes back.
This problem has plagued me through 3 upgrades of FF from version 9 through to the present version of 10.0.2.

Hi,
A possible reason could be the antivirus scanning happening in the background after the downloading has finished and Firefox writes to disk the final file. Please also check if this happens in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile] though this may not be helpful if antivirus scanning is an issue.

  • Dialogue box won't close in pages

    Help! I have a dialogue box frame that is stuck open in Pages. I have restarted Pages and also rebooted my MacBook Pro. When I relaunch Pages, the dialogue box frame still appears in front of (or on top of) any pages document I open.  How do I make it go away?
    Thanks!

  • Dialogue box says ipad hasn't been backed up but box won't close and it won't let me access settings to turn off cellular so I can use wifi to back up.  How do I close the box?

    Dialog box won't close and let me unlock to access settings.  How do I unfreeze it>

    Try a reset: Press & hold (continue to hold) both the Home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears. Release the buttons and the device should boot normally.

  • Why is my photo downloader dialogue box pixelated?

    I have noticed recently that when I take images off a CF or SD card and use Bridge. The photo downloader dialogue box is not very high quality. The text is pixelated and the over all graphic isn't very high quality. I seem to only notice in this section of Bridge. I am working on a retina display mac book pro so it just seems weird when I open that dialogue box it is not very high quality. Is there something wrong or is this normal and the way it is supposed to be?

    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,

  • Why can't I submit a review for a podcast? The dialogue box won't allow me to insert text.

    I was able to to leave a rating, but the dialogue box won't allow me to insert text.
    Can anyone help?

    The forum where you posted (this thread may have been moved by the time you read this) is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes Store forum.

  • REGISTRATION UNSUCCESFUL DIALOGUE BOX WON'T GO AWAY

    I am running Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard under Windows 8.1 running on a new Lenovo laptop, which I bought when my old Vista laptop stopped running.  Whenever I start up Acrobat, a dialogue box appears headed "Registration unsuccesful." Beneath that there is an error message saying "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet."  If I simply close the dialogue box, and later shut down Acrobat, the dialogue box simply reappears the next time I start up Acrobat.
    The dialogue box has three radio buttons, one for each of three options.  The first option is "Try submitting the online registration again".  Selecting that option has no effect - the dialogue window flashes for a moment and then returns to normal.  The second options is "Register later (you will have to fill out the registration form again".  Selecting that option makes the dialogue box close, but if I then shut down Acrobat and re-open it,  the dialogue box appears again almost immediately.  The third option is "Never register".  If I select that option, the effect is similar to that for the second option - that is, the dialogue box closes, but shutting down and re-opening Acrobat causes the same dialogue box to reappear almost immediately. 
    This is very frustrating and irritating!  What can I do to stop the dialogue box reappearing?  I should like to register, but whenever I go to the Help menu and select "Registration..." the same dialogue box appears, and behaves in the same way.  Could this be connected to the fact that I first registered Acrobat 8 from my old Vista machine, which is no longer working?  Is is relevant that my copy of Acrobat, which originally came with my Fujitsu ScanSnap scanner, comprises Acrobat 6 on CD and an upgrade to Acrobat 8 Standard on another CD?  I never had any trouble on my old Vista machine, which I can no longer get to start up properly (so I cannot remove Acrobat from that machine).

    Just a small correction: my "old Vista machine" had, as I now belatedly remember, been upgraded to Windows 7.  My copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard ran without any registration problems under both Vista and Windows 7.

  • I don't get the run option in the downloads dialogue box in Firefox. I do get it in Explorer. Why?

    I'm currently using Firefox 8, but whenever I try to download a program, like Thunderbird, I can only get Save and Cancel options in the dialogue box. I have to use Explorer to download properly. I have a Sony Vaio NW26M with Windows 7 as operating system. I don't feel clever enough to run Unix or Ubuntu, so I've never tried them.
    If there's a sensible place to save Thunderbird and a way of downloading without having to use MS Explorer I'd be glad to know what it is.

    Try right-clicking, to bring up a context menu. For an install "Open" would be the same as run.
    Since you mention Thunderbird, the install would ask for that application to ended once the installation actually starts.

  • TS1702 iPad won't power off - dialogue box won't disappear

    Hi, there is a dialogue box saying 'Your rental movie has expired' and it's asking me to press ok.  I press ok but nothing happens.  Nothing else works because the dialogue box just stays there.  Troubleshooting recommends to power of the iPad, but it won't let me use the slide button to power off - because the dialogue box overrides it.  Any advice?  Thanks!

    Have you tried a soft reset...hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears in the center of the screen and the unit restarts.

  • Flash Player Settings box Won't Close

    Hi! I'm using windows 7, Internet Explorer. For months now nearly every time I try to watch a video the "adobe flash player settings" box pops up with the "allow/deny" screen. Whichever I click, the box won't go away. The whole video will play with that box right in the middle, blocking the screen. How do I close this box? I can't even move it out of the way.
    I've searched for an answer, but apparently I'm the only one in the world with this problem because I can't find this topic when I search on google or yahoo.

    The problem is related to our anti-clickjacking logic.  Because there are pixels changing around the dialog, we think that something may be obscuring the dialog when you click, so we don't register it as valid.
    The dialog is coming up because you've set a non-default setting in Flash (probably restricting the ability of sites to store Local Shared Objects on your computer).  The easiest way to get around this problem is to just get rid of the dialog entirely by allowing LSOs.  You can do this by going to Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage> Allow sites to save information on this computer.
    This control comes from way back in the '90s, when marketers were abusing this capability of Flash to track consumer behavior by storing unique identifiers.  While this technique is still used to some degree, the capabilities of HTML5 and server-side fingerprinting have far outstripped Flash's usefulness as a tracking technology for marketers in both ease and resilience.  So, while you can still disable LSOs on your computer, it offers you very little in terms of privacy in 2015, and it degrades the user experience significantly.
    Instead, when you do want to use Flash Player without accumulating information that might later be used to track you, use your browser's Private/Incognito browsing mode.  Flash Player will still be allowed to store things on your computer (so the content runs as expected with no degradation in the experience), but it all goes into a temporary location that's destroyed when you exit the browsing session.

  • Merge to HDR Pro Dialogue box won't open.

    I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this question but here goes. I can't get the dialogue box to open in Merge to HDR Pro in CS5. After I import the files it seems to go thru the process but then PS just goes blank as if I just opened it.

    Proper place is the photoshop forum.
    You could try and replace the preference file and see if thats the culprit. On windows hold down ctrl, alt, and shift key at photoshop's bootup. I don't know the Mac's equivalent. You can also search for the preference file itself and delete or move to a safe location and let photoshop recreate the file. By moving the file, you can always put it back, if your not sure whats happening.

  • "Highlight Property Value" dialogue box won't go away! Help! CS2

    Have a page that I'm working on, now every 5 seconds or so a box pops up "Highlight Property Value" asking me to enter name and value of CSS property. No amount of canceling or entering data gets rid of it.
    Never have seen this box in all my years of GoLive.
    Tried quitting and reopening GL, but still there.
    CS2 on Leopard.

    Installed as another user-set to admin, but this means I cannot work on any of my existing sites (since they are assigned to the other user- got error message). really hard to troubleshoot this way.
    Created a new page and did as many quick tasks I I could think of, but did not get the box.
    Logged out and then back in as original user to work on another site and was able to do a few tasks before the box popped up again. Once the box pops up, it's regularly every 5 seconds in all modes source, preview or layout
    I had had Leopard installed for a few weeks before this problem started.
    Could I have missed purging the offending Adobe file in the last reinstall I did on the main user?
    Is there an Apple pref that might have something to do with it?
    Prefs were easy, but it seems as though CS3 and CS2 Suites have some common named files in the Library. I am installing from the Suite disks. If I completely remove all the files that the CS2 deinstall instructions say to delete, can I be assured that I won't be deleting a critical CS3 file of the same name?
    Would love to disable that highlight function any way possible -I've never used it.

  • Line weight dialogue box won't highlight in CS6

    Added to my list of frustrations with CS6 is that when I choose the Line tool using pixels the "Weight" field in the horizontal bar won't highlight when I click in it. It took numerous attempts to realize that I can change it even though it won't show that it's highlighted. It also then highlights intermittently.
    Documenting all the bugs in this "beta" 13.0.5 version would be a full time job. Why aren't the employees who are paid by Adobe able to do this work effectively?
    Unbelievable
