Download Manager Not Opening In Web Browser

Operating System:
- OS X (10.4.8)
Web Browser(s) Affected:
- Safari v2.0.4 (419.3)
- Mozilla Firefox v2.0
Description of Problem:
When attempting to download a file, the download manager fails to open and the file is instead sent to the browser as a URL.
Example:
When clicking on http://www.website.com/foobar.dmg instead of download manager opening and transferring the file to the local drive, it is instead opened in a new browser tab/window as a URL and is never downloaded.
It does not matter whether the file is dmg, tar, zip, etc. This happening in both my Safari and Firefox browsers (which makes me think it's something OS specific).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
SoulGrind

Hi SoulGrind,
It does not matter whether the file is dmg, tar, zip, etc. This happening in both my Safari and Firefox browsers (which makes me think it's something OS specific).
Or possibly plug-in specific? Did you happen to install SpeedDownload at some point as this sounds like the symptom of a bad install.
Try uninstalling SpeedDownload via the installer file over at http://www.yazsoft.com/sitepages/download.html - it has an uninstall option. To download it, you should be able to right click/control click on the file link to obtain the file.
Good luck!

its keep on downloading it (.xbap file ) and i can't see an application on Web browser even though i am developing in the local machine with .net 4.5 is installed and all necessary setting in the Internet option done.
[i just added one button in one page and not much code i have written]
i tried all the solution which i can get it from Google :-( but still failed.
Please provide me the proper solution.

You have to register the WPF Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) types and file name extensions on the web server if you haven't already done so. Please refer to the following page for more information about how to do this:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms752346(v=vs.100).aspx
If you are using another browser than Internet Explorer you will need to install a plugin:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20enable%20and%20disable%20Windows%20Presentation%20Foundation
...but XBAP generally don't tend work that well in other browsers than IE.
Also make sure that you have enabled the "XAML browser applications" option under Internet Options->Security-> Custom level in IE:

Tricky - PDF file not Opening from Web Browser based application

Hi Guys,
Just a brief history about the issue:
At my client site everything was fine when IE7 was there and everybody were able to open PDF files from web applications in browsers. But after a IE8 upgrade, things changed and customers are facing problems. All are Windows XP SP3 machines
Issue: If they try to open a pdf file from the browser it just stucks at 0% and hangs with "Cancel" button. Even if they try to save that file it tell downloading and hangs again in the screen without downloading the file.
Initial fix:
Open Adobe Reader
-> select the menu "Edit"
-> select "Preferences"
-> select the Category "Internet"
-> set the indicator "Display PDF in browser"
-> Reboot the machine
This fix worrked for some people but many user are still experiencing the same thing even after changing the setting many times.
Friends, Is there anything else might be creating the trouble here. Please let me know, and why it is that for some systems it is working and for it is not ?
Thanks,

There was a browser bug with IE in the past that seemed to span several browser versions. It had to do with the interaction of the browser and the webserver. The short version is that I had to toggle the caching option on the folder.
Here's what I ended up doing for my client:
Move their PDF documents into a subfolder called forms and all Flash animations into a subfolder called flash
Marked all folders in the site to "Expire Immediately" (IIS -> highlight root folder -> Properties)
Individually marked the "/forms" and "/flash" folders to toggle this caching option
In this way, it allowed dynamic pages to deliver non-cached content (from the server's perspective) and it allowed binary downloads like Flash animations and PDF files to work as expected without errors. The bug has to do with the cache-negotiation handshaking that goes on between the browser and server.
This may not be what you're seeing but it's good to remember because I've seen it often: the settings that you'd use to optimize a web applications don't seem to work for binary downloads like a PDF document.

I wanted a solution to the problem I was having on Win 7 Pro Service Pack 1 in that links on an open Adobe Acrobat file will not open in my Firefox Browser 33.0.2. The Error I receive is "Acrobat could not run the web browser. Unknown Error. (123)"

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

I am getting a new computer and it will not have any web browser software preloaded. Can I get a CD with Firefox in order to install?

I have a new computer that will not have any web browser installed when I acquire it. So, I cannot download Firefox, say, using Internet Explorer. Can I get a copy of Firefox on a CD and use that instead.

Easiest is to download the full Firefox installer and copy that file to an USB stick.

Such an USB stick is also useful for making backups of your profile data, so if you do not already have one then this is an opportunity to start making backups.

Internet explore can not open some web site!!

Internet explore cannot open some web site including yahoo game.
whenever opening it, it says that i need to download java virtual machine
and it leads me to Microsoft to download MS virtual machine
but after intalling it, the problem does not disappear.
Some people suggest that using opera, but it is not working, either!!
What is the problem? Does anyone know the solution?
Please reply me!!

Hi,
Internet explore cannot open some web site including yahoo game. whenever opening it, it says >that i need to download java virtual machine and it leads me to Microsoft to download MS virtual
machine but after intalling it, the problem does not disappear.Explorer not opening some web sites indicated that you are not able to open those sites which
do have applets in homepage,probabily you are able to download the applet but that cannot be
executed due to lack of environment(JVM).Although the Explored does have the inbuilt JVM but
I believe in the latest versions they are not providing.
i hope yours is not that case.The other alternative can be explorer getting corrupt or change
in the setting(which I believe you must not have changed)
See if the application comes on different machines explorer.

TS1398 I have recently updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2 but wi-fi is still slow. It takes a lot of time to download the files. But web browsing is OK. I have downloaded an app size 8 MB but it take around 15 minutes on my wifi. Please help Apple.

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

EML files are not opened in the browser

EML files opened from a SharePoint 2010 document libraries are not opened in the browser. Instead, a dialog box is opened and prompts to save the file.
Since there's no standard application that knows how to handle EML files, and since the EML format is built into SP (send emails to document libraries), I think this behavior is unacceptable.
EML files should be opened in the browser, similar to SP 2007.

Seems the solution is in the client side configuration.
If eml files (as all other file types) are not configured to open by default in Outlook 2007 (or Windows Live Mail), they will be prompted for download or open.
The registry change link I provided earlier did not work for me. I tried this:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:-hgG6T55trAJ:john-h-selnes.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!6C7F16530F119E8D!3092.entry+how+to+configure+sharepoint+to+opem+eml+file+in+outlook+2007%3F&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&source=www.google.com and
solved my problem. Seems by default eml file set to MIME message/rfc822 and associated with windows live mail - SharePoint team hates Outlook team, right?
If you do not have such assoication, it opens in browser!
My settings: MOSS 2007, windows 7, outlook 2007.

After exiting proxifier software while web pages are still open in firefox, I could not open any web pages unless firefox is restarted. Plz help me.

I have a problem with Firefox when using Proxifier software. When proxifier is runing and I'm browsing web pages with firefox all things is OK. But after exiting proxifier while web pages are still open in firefox, I encounter a problem. In spite of the internet is still connected but my firefox could not open any web pages unless firefox is restarted.
You are kindly requested help me how to solve this problem not to restart firefox.

Hi,
[http://proxifier.com/ Proxifier] seems to be a transparent proxy. So you could try setting '''No proxy''' in Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-settings-browsing-network-updates-encryption Advanced] > '''Network''' > '''Settings'''.
PS: A quick way to restart Firefox is to press [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/GCLI '''Shift''' + '''F2'''], type '''restart''', and hit '''Enter'''.

IWork documents not opening on web

Installed the latest 4.x version of iCloud for Windows. When trying to open an iWork document, it is supposed to open a web browser to iCloud.com to edit the document online, but it's not doing so.
I have Windows 8.1 with Chrome as the default browser.

Got the same issue. I had several numbers and pages files stores on icloud and I can't get to them from my iPad

Can not open any web page in Safari

can not open any web page in Safari on the IPad. All other wireless features work fine.

If this does not work then try a reset ,
Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back.
