Firefox 15.1 storing Downloads in Temp folder despite being set to save into Downloads?

OK so I'm running Windows 7 64 Bit and Mozilla Firefox 15.1
Downloads is set to save to "Downloads" but, they are in fact saving to a firefox temp folder?
checked the about:config and browser.download = C:\...\Downloads
I read an answer on here that said "Disable Real Time AV Scanning??? are you serious? all those hackers out there and you want me to turn off my AV?
Please can you provide a suitable answer to this query.

If the anti-virus software is scanning the file while it is still in the temp folder and keeps an handle on it then Firefox won't be able to move the file from the temp folder to the destination folder.<br />
Your AV software should still scan the file if you try to start it or open the file in another application if real-time scanning is disabled.<br />
You can also try to exclude the temp folder, so the scanning will be done once Firefox moves the file to the destination folder and not during the download phase.

  • Temp folder was not set for RTFStringbuffer Error

    Hi,
    We are using CR XI 11.0.0.895 and CR XI JRC is been used to generate the reports in PDF and RTF format.
    While generating report of more than 1000 pages in RTF format throws the below mentioned exception
    temp folder was not set for RTFStringbuffer
    However, Generating reports in PDF format generates the report.
    Find below the environment details which would helpful for the analysis.
    CR XI 11.0.0.895
    IE 6.0
    MS-office 2003
    Windows XP SP2
    Reports JRC application deployed on Weblogic 8.1.4
    Please suggest us a solution for this problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you run [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx], do you see any file access errors when the JRC tries creating a temp RTF file?
    I think I've recommended this before, but have you tried the newest version of the JRC?
    [https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/19020]
    The XI Release 1 keycode will work with it.

    You need to read and follow the Boot Camp instructions. Boot Camp Assistant is already on your computer in the utilities forderf. You run Boot Camp Assistant. Part of the process is to to then download the Windows Support software. This download is then installed from within Windows.
    There is no Boot Camp download that needs to be installed or unzipped from within OSx which you seem to be doing.

  • Why when i copy paste documents from download to another folder,then i delete them from the downloads ,it will be erased at all?

    I dl a file it goes to my doenload folder,then i copy it to another folder for example document,then when i delete it from download it will erase at all? why?
    is it ok to have the file in both downloads and document? it will not be more size?

    If you copy it to another folder, e.g., Documents, and you can see it in the Downloads folder then you now have two copies of the file. If you delete one copy, the other stays intact. If you keep both, there is no harm, although the amount of disk space used is twice as big as when you only keep one copy.

  • Firefox does not open to my homepage despite being set to do so.

    Always opens to last open page.
    Tried setting it to open home page from tools and also checked add-ons (tried disabling them all). Also have tried about:config to set open to home page to "true."

    Create a new profile exclusively for the Firefox 4 version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

  • Downloaded iOS Dev videos but some are not shown as downloaded in iTunes U collection

    This is a 2 day old Mac Mini so maybe something is not set correctly.
    I chose to download the iTunes U collection of iOS Development videos.
    12 videos downloaded OK and I have been watching, the others downloaded but are not shown as downloaded (the 'Get' is still shown).
    An example is the Effective iPhone App Development - Part 1
    I have downloaded this now 3 times and logged out and back in, closed all applications and opened them again with no effect.
    There was a comment in one Apple forum that suggested video restrictions may be preventing some downloaded videos from being displayed.
    As far as I can see there are no restrictions set.
    Must admit to being a bit stuck on this one.

    I had the same problem. This seems like a bug.
    I discovered a workaround for this problem:
    Open your "iTunes Media" folder (usually at /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media).
    Inside "iTunes Media" should be a folder called "Downloads". Open it.
    Now switch over to your iTunes application and start downloading the video.
    Now switch back to the iTunes Media "Downloads" folder. A folder named "iTunes U" should appear. Open it. Now open the next folder which should be called "Effective iPhone App Development - Part 1 _ iOS Development Videos.tmp". Inside this temp folder you should see a file called "download.m4v" which we will deal with later.
    IMPORTANT. While the video is still downloading, drag and drop any file (like a random text file) from a different location into that temp folder. If you don't drag and drop a file into the temp folder, iTunes will automatically delete the "download.m4v" video file right after it finishes downloading.
    After the iTunes application is finished downloading, you can drag the "download.m4v" file out of the temp folder and onto the desktop or a different folder of your choosing. This file can now be viewed with Quicktime or any other video player.
    Hope this helps!

  • My company blocks executables from running in the Temp folder. How can I install Firefox without it trying to run download.exe from a temp folder?

    I found a workaround for the problem of not being able to run executables from the Temp folder.
    I happened upon the Full Firefox installer download page. I downloaded the full installer and used WinRar to extract the downloaded file to a folder then I could run setup.exe and Firefox installed successfully.
    Please publish the link to the full Firefox installer on the same page where the stub installer is published.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Full installers can always be downloaded here:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    I am assuming you went to this page:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    I notice the page has changed a little from the last time I saw it, but you can reach the first link I posted by clicking "Systems & Languages".

  • Download fails, PART file in temp folder

    I rebuilt my PC on the 8th June and downloaded the latest FireFox and installed it. Within a day or two download window stopped appearing. I went into Tools, Option, Downloads to check that the window should be appearing. It should be. I noticed that their was nothing in the downloads box and picking Browes failed to produce a folder selection dialogue. I then looked in the %temp% (win XP) folder and found a .part file. Removing the .part extension allowed the file to be opened.
    Having googled the problem I looked at the about:config and found that the browser.download.dir & browser.download.lastDir keys were missing. Recreating them didn't fix the problem.
    Any suggestion on what to try next would be appreciated.
    Firefox version: 3.6.3
    Cheers

  • PDF files have suddenly started downloading to the temp folder instead of the download folder where they used to be-- the downloads folder is marked correctly

    all downloads are set to go to downloads file-- PDFs have quit going there and are in temp folder instead-- all other downloads are still going to the right place

    Deleting the '''mimeTypes.rdf''' will reset all download actions to the default settings.
    Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press enter.
    Under the page logo on the left side you will see '''Application Basics.'''
    Under this find '''Profile Folder.''' To it’s right press the button
    '''Show Folder.''' This will open your file browser to the current
    Firefox profile. Now '''Close Firefox.'''

  • Downloads going to The "Temp" Folder

    Hi! I've had this problem for a while now and now i want to fix it. I see other people have this problem too. When i download a file and open it dircetl, its saves in the Temp folder on my C drive(witch is an SSD) I don't want it there and i have not asked them to go there, I want it on my 2nd harddrive, Witch is where i got it set up to go. Is there any way to get files you open directly to go to the folder that you set? or is this impossible?
    Troubleshooting Information Included.

    Firefox immediately starts downloading the file in the background and saves the file to the temp folder and doesn't wait until you specify the name and the location (destination folder).
    If the file stays in the temp folder then it is possible that your security software is blocking the file and prevents Firefox from moving the file to the specified destination folder.
    You would have to change the TMP and TEMP environment variables to point to a location (X:\\temp) on that other drive.

  • How can I get firefox to not save pdf files (such as bank statements I have looked at) to my documents and settings/temp folder?

    I just realized that some (but not all pdf files that I have opened) pdf files of bank statements as well as other pdf files that I have opened when browsing with firefox have been saved to my documents and settings/temp folder. I am concerned about this for security of my data, but also confused as to why all of these documents (as well as some word documents and other types of non .tmp files) are being stored here. Please tell me how to stop this from happening.
    Thank you,
    Wimajeanne

    I can understand that they would appear there if I have the document open, or have recently viewed it. These documents are over a month old, some are over a year old.
    Also, it is not just PDF files, I also see word docs and java.exe files in this folder. None of these files have the %temp% in the title as they do when I have a particular document open, rather they are a copy of the file or document that I have saved to my data file.
    My main concern is the security of information when random PDF and doc files are stored here without my knowledge.
    Thank you.

  • Firefox does not save my downloads to my specified folder. It tries to use another folder. How do I correcct this problem?

    When I try to save a download to my specified directory (C:\Downloads) it tells me that (C:\documents and settings\local\temp) can not be changed and for me to change the properties of that folder. I made no changes to any folder regarding downloads. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Thanks for your input. I haven't changed anything in my virus protection to make this happen. It has been saving my downloads now for a couple years without any problems.
    I am really confused as to how this started. If you have any further input, I would appreciate hearing from you.
    Thanks again.
