FF35 B3 can't save or download files & all plugins/extensions have dissapeared

After FF updated to 35B3:
* Right click on a link & click save link as - no File save dialogue appears.
* Right click on an image & click Save image as - no File save dialogue appears.
* Tools- > Add-ons: Both Extensions & Add-ons are empty. "Check to see if your plugins are up to date" link still present and clicking on it produces a page with some of the extensions present.
Using the "Automatically add" button for troubleshooting resulted in the extension downloading but the installer then stalled & I had to close the install dialogue.
I have seen a number of these in the Error Console:
"Error: about:blank : Unable to run script because scripts are blocked internally."
And these:
Error: TypeError: document.getElementById(...) is null
Source File: chrome://web-developer/content/overlay/javascript/overlay.js
Line: 7333"
Session Management is not working and there is this in the Error console:
"Error: NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE: Window is not tracked
Source File: resource:///modules/sessionstore/SessionStore.jsm
Line: 1601"

I'm deploying FF13 in my organization, how can i disable FF from disabling all plugins/extensions by default?

Our organization requires web services with many plugins. In order to support the latest browsers, we must deploy FF13 company wide. Currently the installation disables all 3rd party plugins by default, requiring you to enable them manually. Therefore, this makes managing a FF13 deployment very difficult. Is there any way to configure it to deploy without it disabling plugins?

Do you really mean plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) or do you mean extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)?
Firefox shouldn't disable plugins unless they are blacklisted, but will display a dialog that shows which (third-party) extensions are found an allow to enable third party extensions.<br />
There is probably no way to avoid such an alert, but you can try to copy extensions to the distribution/extensions folder where also the default theme resides.

How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again

How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again. Also they might remove them from internet so I can't rely on the bookmark to them.

I'm trying to send home movies to my 10 year old nephew who lives across the country. He doesn't have a computer. He has an iPod touch. His parents have computers. But I don't want everything I ever try to have him do result in "you need your parent's computer for this." It's getting really embarrassing. I have converted my family over to Apple computers but now they want to buy iPhones, iPads, and iPods even though I tell them to go Android. It took a decade to convert them away from windows now I'm trying to keep them away from these freedom limited iOS devices and they won't listen. Then it becomes my responsibility to make their iPads print to their fancy pre-airprint color laser jet printers, get home movies onto them, and countless other things. It's driving me nuts.
I have converted these files to a format that the iOS devices will play directly off of dropbox. Now, how do I get the infernal devices to save it instead of play it?

I am unable to download, Media Downloader. How can I save my tiff files?

I am unable to download: Media downloader. How can I save my tiff files?

Hi Barb,
To investigate this we would have to look at the error logs -
Start your download and once it gets completed please send us the Log.txt file from the locations listed.
WIN : C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.px.Downloader.<some-num ber>\Local Store\
MAC : /users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.px.Downloader.<some-n umber>/Local Store/
You can email me the log.txt file at [email protected]

Unable to save or download files, already tried suggested options

I'm not the most tech-savvy creature on the planet, so bear with me.
For a while now, I've been unable to save or download files using Firefox. IE isn't working either, but I only initially used IE on this computer to download Firefox anyway. I've tried the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable%20to%20download%20or%20save%20files suggested options].
I'm not incapable of downloading though - Steam and the Blizzard launcher are still working as always. AVG's updating download, hoever, doesn't appear to work. On occasion, I have been able to download things - VLC Media Player and seldomly an item I attempt to download will successfully be saved. It's so infrequent and unpredictable though, that I can't reliably find out what's allowing me to do so. Needless to say, since my virus and spyware scanners appear to be borked, I'm more than a touch worried and unable to download any suggested alternatives.
When downloading a file, it will briefly appear in the location I saved it to before vanishing. I ask now because my computer's performance has seriously dropped within the last month or so, and I'm not convinced I'll be able to sort it out while I'm so thoroughly grounded without downloads.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I've had a java problem ever since i removed an old version thinking that i didnt need it because i had newer versions, well, i've learned alot since then, but unfortunately not enough. I play an online game called runescape. For one month now, i've been searching up on google, EVERYWHERE, trying to find help so i can play my game again.

I've tried everything, i've installed almost all of the java versions, I've been through environment variable settings and made sure that the PATH is pointing to a version of java, What can i do, im desperate for help, please post back.

Media Encoder CC 2014.0.1 error on install: I can't unpack the downloaded files (translation).

I have troubles with the latest update of Media Encoder CC (2014). I get an error which says: I can't unpack the downloaded files (translated from Dutch). Please try again. I try again, but it don't help. I have a MacPro early 2008 with Mavericks.
=======================================
Moderator moved thread from Premiere Pro forum to AME, and trimmed the title.

Looks like one component in Media Encoder is either missing or corrupted somehow.
Could you uninstall Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 and please make sure all files are deleted after uninstall? Then, please try re-installing it.

Whenever I try to save a file as a PDF, it tells me that it can't save, because the file is open somewhere else. I don't have anything else open. I have also tried different files and they all say the same thing. Help.

Given there are so many problems and removed features in Pages 5, why not just continue using Pages '09?

How can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT - it's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)

how can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT?
It's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)
It is simply too painful to have to zip everything up into a single file to send. MHT format has been available for years now from IE, and with every new FF release it's the first thing I look for. I have been using FF for years, and hate having to come out of it, over into IE |(which I even took out of startup) and key everything in again, in order to send somebody something in a convenient format that they can open with a single click.
I can't believe this hasn't been asked before, so have you looked at it and rejected it? Have MS kept the file format secret?
Thanks

This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

How can I save a PDF file sent to me in an attachment to my iPhone 5s

How can I save a PDF file or word file sent to me as an attachment directly to my iPhone 5s so if I want to read it I don't have to dig into my ail every time?

You will need to select the attachment and open in another app. If you do not have any apps that support PDF, Adobe reader for iOS is free.
For MS word files, you will need an app that supports those, like Documents to Go.
There is not generic file storage area in iOS, so you need to "open in" an app that supports that file type so that app can then add the file to its sandboxed local storage area.
If you need to markup the PDF, some good apps are GoodReader, iAnnotate, PDF Expert, GoodNotes - there are numerous others as well in the App Store.

How can I save adobe reader file from gmail into my adobe reader app?? i would like to open one file in place where I'm not able to access internet and for that reason i would like to save it. is that even possible?

Long hold on the document in mail and it should give you the open in... option, select adobe reader and the file is now saved locally for viewing even while offline.

Can't save/write Framemaker files

Hi,
I've suddenly got a major problem - I can't Save or Save As any Framemaker files.
Specifically, I am using Framemaker 9 (latest patches) under Win XP/SP3, using parallels Desktop for Mac on my MacBook Pro 17" (8GB, 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS 10.6.2).
I can save to my Windows virtual drive, but if I try to save to my Mac world, I get an error that says "The \\.psf\Home\<path>\<filename>.fm.DE1 that FrameMaker wrote may be damaged". There is a .lck file, but can't save the .fm file, even with another name.
I have tried saving in different formats (to check it's not a network/permissions issue). I can save in .html, .txt, .xml, .pdf, .rtf. I cannot save in any of the Frame-related formats (MIF, .fm, previous versions).
I suspect the problem arose after updating Parallels Desktop to the latest version. Dumb move. It barfed at the end of the upgrade, but I thought things were OK after restarting.
I also had a disk problem on my Mac (various catalog file errors) after ejecting a recaltitrant USB pen drive. Major headache. Again, thought it was all fixed after fsck and Disk Utility checks. maybe not. Still a weird issue though. I do seem to remember having something like this before. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi, Martin:
I'm using InDesign on my MacBookPro pre-unibody under Leopard, and also under Windows 7 Vista running on VMware Fusion2.
I never save my files on the Windows virtual drive for a couple of reasons:
* too likely to crash unexpectedly - hey, it's Windows.
* because the virtual drive file is always marked changed no matter how little activity you do on it, even just opening it, Time Machine backs up the entire humongous drive file and fills up my Time Capsule needlessly.
EDIT:
* I exclude the virtual drive file from the Time Machine backup, but I do save a copy of it in case I need to replace one that goes bad. Doesn't always work, though. I also save a bunch of automatic snapshots of the virtual drive, and manual ones when I change something. I haven't got the habit yet of also making Windows Restore Points. I figure if a Fusion2 snapshot can't get me back working, it's time to start over, or copy my safety copy.
/EDIT
I always save files made on the Mac or Windows sides on my Mac file system.
One likely source of being unable to save is unwanted and unexpected permission changes. Have you tried fixing permissions with Disk Utility, or the free utility OnyX, or the free utility applejack? You run OnyX from within OS X. You run applejack from the command line that appears when you restart the Mac and hold CMD-s to go into single user mode. The command: applejack auto restart performs a bunch of cleanup operations automatically, and displays its actions as it does them. When it's done, it restarts your Mac.
Applejack is more limited in what it does, so it easier to avoid doing anything you didn't intend. OnyX offers options that can clean out stuff you might not want to, so read carefully what options you select.

Can you save an mp3 file that you receive as an attachment to an email?

Can you save an mp3 file you receive as an attachment to an email?

Irwinwilliam-
With other attachments, you can press and hold on the attachment icon. One of the options that may appear is "Open In". Choosing that, any App that is capable of reading the attachment should show up as a choice. When opening the document that way, a copy is transferred to the App. I have not tried with an MP3 file.
For MP3, I think the Music App should be a choice. If so, the file should then appear with your other music.
If an inappropriate App appears in "Open In", you may be able to use it as a conduit to transfer the attachment to your computer. Run iTunes on your computer with the iPad connected. Select the iPad under DEVICES, and click on Apps at the top of the window. Scroll down to File Sharing and select that App. If successful, your document will appear to the right in the Documents window, where you can select it and Save As.

How can I save an attachment file

How can I save an attachment file To my iPad memory.

An iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be stored within apps. Do you have an app that supports the type of file that the attachment is ? If you do then you might be able to press and hold the attachment in the Mail app and get a popup with an option to save the attachment to the app.

Let's try a preferences reset: (Windows)
Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be VERY quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being set to defaults.
