Downloads are not being saved on firefox

All downloads have disappeared from the download page, and I cannot download any new programs or updates for them. When prompted to download a program, I follow the same procedure previously used, and when the notification that all downloads are complete appears, the download file does not open. When opened manually, the file is empty. The directions given in the help area for this problem require me to do something that isn't possible, since the button needed to be clicked on doesn't exist in the Foxfire Window displayed on my Laptop.

It's not my anti-virus. I think it's a problem with Adobe Reader.
When I click on a PDF file on the Internet, it starts a download, even though I did not request it to download. The little download window opens and I can see the progress.
When it's done I double-click on the file in the little Firefox download window and the PDF opens so I can read it.
The file stays in the list in the Firefox download window unless I "Clear All" or "Remove" the individual file.
I want all downloads including these PDF's to go to the My Documents - Downloads folder, not the temporary folder it's currently going to.
How do I do that?

  • My Usernames Passwords are not being saved, the pop up question about saving a password or not never shows. Please let me know how I can fix this problem.

    My usernames and passwords are not being saved. I never get the prompt:

    Make sure that you have set Firefox to remember passwords.
    * Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Remember passwords for sites"
    Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>

  • Messages are not being saved on N96

    On my N96 I have set save sent messages and receive report as 'yes' but after updating firmware (20.050) messages are not being saved.Is there any solution to someone.

    I have exactly the same problem with my N95 but I can't really say when it started. Suddenly I just noticed my phone didn't save sent messages anymore and hadn't done it for some time, but can't really tell after what it started to occur. Really strange problem, not even reseting back to factory settings helped - after I put "receive report" option back it stops saving sent messages to sent folder. Actually if I go to "sent" folder quickly after sending the sms, it shows there for little moment before disappears. Really strange. I couldn't google any other information about this problem than this topic.

  • I've been editing images with ease for a long time but now the changes are not being saved.

    I've been editing images with ease for a long time but now the changes are not being saved.
    Also, it is not liking me adding a large ammount of images in one go?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • HT4075 I tried the steps mentioned above but the changes are not being saved.

    I am not able to edit or merge PDF files. I followed the steps mentioned in the Mac support community but the changes are not being saved. Any solution to this?

    The link you posted gives be a 404 not found message. 
    The reason you're getting the repeat is because your site name is wilgenroos.nl and the first page of your site is wilgenroos. 
    The standard URL for domain names that are forwarded with the CNAME method is:
    http://www.domain_name.com/site_name/page_name.html.
    You can change the site and page names in iWeb to give you something more informative about the site and page.
    If you're publishing to a  3rd party server and want to get rid of the site name in the url and only have
    http://www.domian_name.com/page_name.html
    do the following:
    publish the site to a folder on your hard drive (already done)
    use Cyberduck to upload just the contents of your site folder to the root folder of your account on the server.
    You should delete the old site folder and files that are currently there beforehand.

  • Notes are not being Saved

    Recently upgraded to an iPhone 3G S from the first generation iPhone. Synced my phone and everything is fine, but when I use the Notes application the notes are not being saved. Anyone know of a way to fix this?

    Ensure that the "sync notes" box is checked in iTunes. Also note that the notes syncing feature doesn't work very well yet.
    If you have a note on both the phone and the computer, and you change/update the one on the phone, the next time you sync the computer version will over write the phone version.

  • Settings are not being saved when i reboot

    i am having a problem when i restart my computer my settings such as dock settings background settings are not being saved how do i resolve this problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Is this just for new settings that won't stick? Or have all your original settings reverted to the defaults? Have you started up from your Mac OS X install disk and used the Disk Utility to "repair disk"? Do you have a backup of your important files?

  • Flash CC crashes after publishing iOS app + publish settings are not being saved to file

    I have two issues:
    1. Flash CC crashes every time I publish an iOS app
    2. My Publish Settings are not being saved
    1. Flash CC crashes every time I publish an iOS app
    Since yesterday Flash CC keeps crashing right after I publish an iOS app. The app is published correctly though. I tried everything from restarting my MAC, reinstalling Flash, removing the folder "Flash CC 2014" inside Application Support/Adobe. But all this did not work.
    2. My Publish Settings are not being saved
    Since the first day I installed Flash CC, it did not save my publish settings along with the .fla-file. I never had this issue with Flash CS 5.5. This was not a very big issue, but now every time I publish an app and Flash CC crashes I have to fill in all the publish settings manually. Now I'm getting frustrated. Even saving my settings as a preset, storing it inside a folder and importing it again, won't help. Then I will get the message: "Import failed: invalid profile file."
    Can please anyone help me with these issues? It is quite time consuming to continuously enter the settings manually after every crash.
    Thanks!

  • Mouse settings are not being saved

    I just did a clean install of Lion (10.7.5) on a new SSD in a mac pro 1,1 and am having problems with my mouse settings.  The settings are not being saved.  When I change any of the buttons, nothing changes.
    It's not a hardware problem with the mouse.  If I boot up to my previous os drive, lion 10.7.5, the mouse settings are correct and function properly.

    FOrgot to add, this is the basic wired mouse.  I've also tried the wireless bluetooth mighty mouse as well with the exact same results.
    I've tried removing the plist files with no success

  • Sent or replied to emails are not being saved in mailbox

    My sent emails or the replies to emails sent to me are not being saved in my mailbox. The "sent" box is empty. What is happening and where can I find a copy of the emails I sent and the replies I sent?
    Thanks.

    I am not sure why it's not enabled by default, but when you go in to your mail and you can see your inbox.   look below your folders on the left hand side you'll see mail settings under general.
    click it
    and you'll see an option to save your sent messages.

  • My outgoing messages are not being saved in my sent folder

    Half of my message that I try to send are not being saved in my sent folder. This is a huge problem causing lost documentation and copies of information and conversations I have had. The error message I get says that thunderbird was unable to save to my sent folder and asks if I would like to try again. If I say yes I get the same message over and over again until I give up and let the message be lost to cyberspace. What can I do to fix this issue and stop loosing valuable information for work?
    I am using an HP laptop running windows 8.

    What protocol is your email account using (POP or IMAP)?
    If POP, you need to make sure your local disk space is enough to save the sent messages. Check where the copies are located by looking at the account settings under '''Copies & Folders'''. When using POP, I believe a copy needs to be saved on both sides: local and server.
    If IMAP, the email server is where such copies are saved. You can also double-check such settings as mentioned above.
    Finally, if your emails are too big, this may be a restriction of your email provider, perhaps get in touch with their support and inquire about this to rule it out as the cause of the problem. Could you share more details about the kind of emails that fail to have a local copy saved or is it for each and every email?

  • Recently, my passwords on many websites are not being saved, forcing me to log in every 15 minutes or so.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  I am wondering if it is a result of a "bad" update?

    For the past few weeks, I have noticed that passwords on many different websites are not being saved.  I literally have to log back into each page every 15 minutes or so.  Is this the result of a bad software update?  Have an appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow but if this can be resolved without going in, it would be preferred. 

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,

  • Despite add-ons and settings, cookies are still being saved after Firefox closes.

    I have set Firefox to delete all cookies when Firefox closes. This does not work but I have read this is by design (although there is absolutely no point in having this option if it does not do what it says). So after reading forums I have tried several other things. I have both BetterPrivacy and DoNotTrackPlus installed. I have also set browser.sessionstore.privacy_level to "2" and browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to "false" in about:config which I have seen in several posts. Finally, I only use the internet with Private Browsing now. Despite all of those precautions, AVG continues to pick up what appear to be the same 9 cookies constantly.
    They are all located in ...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies:
    VKE7AOYE.txt:\adtmt.com.b3e33b5f, VKE7AOYE.txt:\adtmt.com.7247c262,

    How can I avoid this? I am fairly tired of cookies, persistent cookies, LSO cookies, what have you. What is the point of all of these actions if none of them stop cookies from being saved permanently on my computer? Is it just Firefox that has dropped the ball here or do other browsers also have these issues? I have been a long-time Firefox fan but thinking of changing after all of this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

    Thanks for your reply jscher2000. It took me a while me to hunt down what exactly what was causing those cookies but your response helped me to open up my thinking a bit to consider non-firefox alternatives. I got distracted initially trying to see when the cookies were being added which led to a whole side problem of hidden files remaining hidden even when I checked to un-hide them under properties (I finally figured that out using "organize/folder and search options/view" and editing the registry) and then I spent some time performing one action at a time and checking the cookies folder. Imagine my embarrassment when it turns out a game was actually responsible for putting those cookies there (not internet browsing through firefox). Unless there are two applications/add-ons doing it? After deleting some cookies, I started noticing the cookies appearing in a different folder (...\AppData\Local\Temp\Cookies). Either the game changed which folder it was putting the cookies in (originally it was the ...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies) or two applications/add-ons are putting basically identical cookies in each of the two folders I mentioned. I find it much more reasonable that the game is responsible for both locations and somehow how meddling around with cookies and deleting them and such caused a change given that the game seems to have files in both of those locations (although the files are hidden in one of the locations). Finally, if other people read this, when I was looking for cookies being generated I missed it at first because new files weren't being created necessarily but lines of cookie text were being added to existing files without actually changing the displayed file size. A very long-winded response and probably more than anyone wanted to know but thanks again for the time and effort of your answer jscher.
