Downloaded files from Firefox, opens temporary file instead of the new downloaded file?

I have downloaded the same (but updated over time) file from dropbox many time. But when i try to download the updated version, Ecxel opens a temporary file. I know this, because i'm sure the file has been updated since last download, and when i download the file in another browser, i shows the file, with the new changes.
Only Firefox seems to have the problem. How do i force Firefox to use the new download, and not a temporary file?
Firefox is fully updated, and running on Windows 7 64 bit.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I installed the InDesign CC Testversion and now i try to open INDD-Files from earlier Version. Always i get the error "This file is made by an earlier Version...." but it´s CC that is the latest Version. What is the problem ? Should i have to convert the files ?

Adobe has been using confusing version names for at least five years.
There are now two versions labeled CC, version 9 and version 10 (also known as CC 2014). Version 10 is the latest, and if you attempt to open a version 10 file in Version 9 that is not fully patched you will get an error message telling you that the file cannot be opened. The latest patch for version 9 should use a cloud-based service at Adobe to convert version 10 files to IDML and allow you to open that.
I suspect you may be using an older operating system. Version 10 requires that your system runs at least OS X 10.7 or Windows 7 SP1 and if you are not it will not even be offered to you.

How can I completely remove Realplayer or other similar plugins from Firefox (I've deleted Realplayer and the Realplayer program files)?

Hello, I am finding that Firefox often hangs and says not responding when I try to open a new page, and also that it takes a very long time to clear cookies and cache. I have read elsewhere that the second problem can be due to plugins, and I have found lots of these, many of which I don't need like Realplayer. So I was wondering if there is some way for me to start from scratch without any plugins at all and then I can install any that are needed?
I have reset Firefox, uninstalled and reinstalled it and also deleted Realplayer and the Realplayer program files, but nothing seems to change (there are other plugins too which I don't think I use such as VLC Web Plugin - I only use VLC for DVDs - which could also be causing the problem).

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.

I am unable to access zynga farmville through firefox...no problem until the new download

I have an account on Facebook and occasionally play "Farmville." Since I downloaded the latest version of Firefox, I cannot access any of the games I normally play while on facebook. I get an unusual message that says I may need to disable my firewall, but I don't have an active firewall.

Would it be possible for you to upload a screenshot?

Cannot open downloaded files from Firefox or IE, but can in Google Chrome?

When I download files in Firefox and IE, it either fails to complete downloading them stating that they have some sort of virus, or they show complete but none of them actually save. When I try to open the link in the downloads window, they do nothing, and right clicking shows "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" are greyed out. I do not have any of these problems with Google Chrome, and I would rather use Mozilla. I have tried many basic fixes I have found and nothing seems to work.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files. 
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"

I can´t open pdf-files from firefox.

When i try to open a pdf-file from firefox nothings happens.
The problem started when i downloaded Firefox version 8.0.1.
In safari it works.

Your PDF reader plug-in is quite old. Make sure to update your plug-ins (Adobe Reader, Java, Flash, etc.)

The latest Adobe Reader plug-in for Mac Intel is 10.1.1 and you are using version 7.0.9

I had the same problem after I gave my old iPad to my parents and tried to install Netflix. This is what you have to do: Open iTunes on your computer, the one you sync your iPad to. Then go to iTunes Store and search for and download Netflix app. After you download it, if your iPad is set to download new purchases it may start downloading on your iPad. If so, tap and hold to delete the app (because it is trying to install the new version on the iPad) Next step, go to the App Store on your iPad and find Netflix and it should say install since you already purchased it on the computer. Tap to install, and it will say the version is not compatible, tap to download a previous version. Click that and it will install the older version! One more thing, if and when you sync to your computer again it will say something like " Unable to install Netflix on your iPad" Just click the box to never remind you again, because it's trying to sync the newer Netflix app to your iPad, but it doesn't work so it displays the message. The old app will remain on the ipad. Hope this helps, good luck

File-type "Firefox Document (.htm)" images saved to the HD won't open

Images online occasionally default to file-type Firefox Document (.htm) as opposed to the usual jpg. They will not open even with firefox and display as coding.

Can you describe in more detail what happens when you try to open the saved movie? I don't know what you mean by "main menu1".
Since you saved your movie you may find it completely intact in the project's Package Contents folder. Right-click on the project icon (the one with the star on it). Select Package Contents in the drop down menu. In the Package Contents folder you should find a file named (project movie title).iMovieProj. Open that file and see if your movie is intact with all edits. If it is, duplicate it and move it to your desktop. Rename and save it as a new project. Don't otherwise mess with the Package Contents.
Is your external drive formulated for Apple? Should be MAC OS extended or MAC OS extended (journaled).

What is the file format of the vector you downloaded? Custom Shapes have a .PSP extension, and are placed according to this table.
Preference filenames and locations in Photoshop CC
They will then be loadable from the Custom Shapes drop down — click on the cog icon > Load shape > Find your downloaded vector.
Once placed in the image, it will appear as a Shape layer, and can be edited with the Path, and Direct Selection tools (black and white arrows on the toolbar)

When I downloaded pics from my camera to iPhoto it put them in a file that was named with the download date. Can I do that with Aperture (as the download default)?

I recently replaced iPhoto with Aperture. When I download pics into Aperture they are place in a file that's called "Untitled Project." When I downloaded pics from my camera to iPhoto they were put in a file that was named with the download date (YYYY MM DD). Can I do that with Aperture (as the download default)?

My apologies.
When I import I have an Applescript that stores the images in a year month day folder-project structure so I haven;t used the default Aperture behavior in some time. When I tested it out to reply to you I was doing it from the file system and it picked up the date from the folder. mea culpa.
Anyway the closest you can get is to have Aperture split the images by date. IN the Aperture preferences set the project split granularity
Autosplit into Projects
and then in the import window set
Automatically split projects.
This will give projects named Month Day, Year (ie: Mar 13, 2012) there is no way to change this
As I said I have a script that runs on import and sets up a structure like:
Of course many here will say not to name projects this way, that Aperture has the ability to sort by date and you're better off naming projects something more meaningful. For them that is true and it might be for you also. For me I like to store my masters this way, it works for the way I shoot.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

TS1315 when trying to download photos from my digital cameras I keep getting the message that pics can't be downloaded because of an unrecognizable format. It shows that they are all jpeg files. One camera is a Canon, the other a Panasonic.

when trying to download photos from my digital cameras I keep getting the message that pics can't be downloaded because of an "unrecognizable format". It shows that they are all jpeg files. One camera is a Canon, the other a Panasonic. I have had these cameras for a few years and have never had a problem downloading.

I am having the same problem which has happened very infrequently before. Generally it's one photo and happened when my battery died.
However today I tried to download six photos.
None would download including several others for a total of 21 that would not download.
Since I had just installed a new powered hub and added three new external 4T hard drives, I got concerned that it was the hub. Then got really worried that I'd have problems with the data I have been backing up.
However following this sequence of events, I've determined it's not the hub, but still don't know what is causing the problem.
(1) Put a fresh battery in the camera - same results
(1.5) Used a different port in the new hub - same results
(2) Put the card in the card slot in the back of my iMac - no problems except that one image I knew about last week. The six new images imported.
(3) Tried again using the cable - still same error
(4) Changed cables - my husband has the same camera - still same error
(4) Put the card in his camera with his cable - still same error
(5) Put the card in a card reader and used the same slot in the new hub - no problems - same one wouldn't import but message that there are no new photos to import.
(6) Moved the offending one image to the Trash while the card was in the card reader
(7) Put the card back into my camera and used my cable. iPhoto had no error and displayed the message there are no new photos.
Conclusion:
Not the camera
Not the cable
Not the hub
Must remove bad photo from the card
However, I have not had to do that before. I went through several imports on vacation when there was one bad image and just ignored it each time.
Any idea why this is happening now?
Thank you
