Firefox 29.0.1 Cannot view download in progress, nor access downloads via browser

I am running Firefox 29.0.1 in a Windows OS. Up until a few days ago, the grey arrow (green when downloading) worked fine, dropped down a menu that showed recent downloads, and allowed me to access them. Now I find I cannot do this. I would prefer to use the native "download button", but am open to suggestions if this is not possible.

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • In Firefox 5.0 I cannot view add-ons and can't tell if they're running.

    When I click on Tools | Add-ons, Firefox just takes me to the Mozilla Web page for add-ons instead of showing me a list of the add-ons installed on this machine. I can't tell what add-ons are running and which are not. I re-installed Forecastfox, but I still can't see the Forecastfox information icons at the bottom of the browser screen. Adblock Plus is running, but now it has its own place in the Tools menu, separate from other add-ons.

    Whew! Thanks. I wasn't expecting the information to be in the browser window. And now that I selected View Add-on Bar I can see the Forecastfox weather info. Thank you again.

  • Purchased Adobe PDFannual pack and my computer crashed during download how can I access download again

    I upgraded to an Adobe PDF annual pack a few hours ago but my computer crashed during download. Does anyone know if/how I can access the download again

    Hi jcee100,
    So sorry to hear about your computer crash. No fun! But the good news is there's nothing to download. You just need to log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com to access your subscription!
    Best,

  • Cannot view movie from site

    Whenever I go to the NRK website (for instance:
    http://www1.nrk.no/nett-tv/klipp/544484 )
    I cannot view the movie.
    I have downloaded Silverlight and that helps for Firefox and Opera but it does no good for Safar 4 in Snow leopard.

    there are a few ways you can force SSL.
    I wonder if using the Server.app to do it directly would be the most robust?
    Going to Server.app and selecting Websites ->"Server Website SSL" -> "Redirects Edit..."
    Hit the "+" button and then select "When users visit: This website", "Redirect them to: Server Website (SSL)"
    Alternatively you could create a different website (SSL) to redirect the defaults to, if you don't like the default name and would prefer something else.
    Additionally, I have found that I get the "Calendar service is turned off" until after I use the website to log in as a networked user. The "profilemanager" however does redirect me to the login if I am not already logged in. Logged in or not, the "Change Password" link always comes up with a "Changing passwords is turned off" message unless one has the "Allow users to change password" checkbox checked in the "Server Website SSL". When it is checked off, this link works as expected, allowing you to log in to change your password.
    Navigating around this "Server Website" is pretty lousey - you would thing that there would always be links available to the calendar, password reset, and profile manager parts in addition to the wikis, people, documents, and activities. Once you click on one of the last four, you lose any links to calendar, password or profile manager. Anyone have any edits to change the default website to include those links on every page? I would have thought they would live in the pull-down-menu at the top left, or a least a link to take you back to the top of the website.

  • I cannot view clips on the viewer window - as it appears black, However, I can still hear the sounds in the background.

    Hello!
    I cannot view any of the clips (not from event browser nor from timeline) on the viewer window - as it appears black/or blank/ or static ! However, I can still hear the sounds in the background.
    P.S I have chosen the filter: ALL
    Please help me with that I'm getting desperate ! I need to finish a project within one week :(
    A million thanks in advance

    Hi F. Carl
    The clip is intact and it has video and audio.
    I have worked on it before and all was fine until I lost the work when it got frozen!
    The issue is:
    I have a (MOV.) ready clip that I wanted to edit a bit, hence I have imported the clip (import media) and whenever I try to work on it, the black screen prohibits me from doing anything.
    Any ideas please ... It's really strange !

  • Using Firefox, I used to be able to open a document on a website and look at it without downloading.  Now, I must download a document in order to view it.  How can I change settings so that I can open documents without saving them?

    Using Firefox, I used to be able to open a document on a website, such as a bank statement, and view it without downloading.  Now, I must download and save a document before I can view it.  How can I change settings so that I can open documents without saving them first?

    Do you know what kind of docs they are? Did you upgrade/Update Firefox lately?

  • Running itunes 10.6.1.7. did reorg of lib to new struct. reorg left all video podcasts in old folder. I cannot view video podcasts itunes or download. help please.

    I just installed itunes 10.6.1.7. on a new PC connected an external hard drive containing my itunes library and pointed to my library on an external hard drive.
    I also did reorganization of my library structure via "organize library" menu option. The reorg left all video podcasts in the old podcast folder and will not let me copy them to the new podcast folder.
    From the itunes store I cannot select a new video podcast and download and view it in itunes. The podcast will show up but the file or episode has a "GET" button next to it and never shows it as available to view in itunes. I have attempted to download many time with no success.
    I have podcasts that are all video podcasts and some that are mixed audio podcasts and video podcasts. in both cases the video podcasts remained in the original folder location.
    The video podcasts are not in movies or in tv shows. All music is present and accounted for that I know.
    How can I restore all video podcasts previously downloaded and view them on itunes or an ipod?
    Can I create a video podcast option in itunes?
    Please help.

    Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes. 

  • Downloaded, unzipped, installed latest Camera Raw, but still cannot view D300 NEF files

    Hello,
    I have CS3 running on a 32-bit Windows Vista computer. I downloaded the latest Camera Raw plug-in, unzipped it, and installed it, but I still cannot view my Nikon D300 NEF files. I have made sure that I only have the one plug-in mentioned. I went to CS3 Bridge and made sure that Raw is enabled in Preferences. Anyone got any ideas?
    BTW, don't know if it matters, but I use Irfanview as my regular picture viewer.
    Thanks,
    John

    John,
    Please excuse my inexperience, but I, too, am having a difficult time with this issue.  I am trying to view RAW images on CS3 from a D300 Nikon camera.  My D70 images are fine in CS3, but not the D300 images.  I have downloaded and downloaded ACR 4.6 and made sure it is in the path you suggested, but I am getting the same message, "file is not the correct type."  I have Windows 7 on a HP desktop computer.  I am also receiving an error message when I open Bridge, which tells me, more or less, that Bridge is not compatible with the OS on the HP.  Don't know what else to do...

  • I cannot view my Flash slideshows in Firefox but I can in Safari. Why?

    I have created some Flash multimedia packages for my company. You can view them on a PC fine, and you can view them on a Mac, but only if you view them in Safari with a FlipMac4 WMV installed. But I cannot view in Firefox on my Mac and I do not understand why. Here is just one link to my Flash work: http://english.cri.cn/6566/2010/04/23/902s565015.htm
    I cannot even see the Flash file, let alone play the audio or watch the slideshow.

    That is because you only have code for IE with an ActiveX classid. Firefox ignore object tags with a cklass ID.
    Use this code instead:
    <pre><nowiki><object data=" /mmsource/flash/2010/04/23/heaven.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="OBJECT1" height="600" width="600"></nowiki></pre>

    When you say that you have the same problem, do you mean that you are:
    1. Not able to download Adobe Reader;
    2. cannot view a PDF file;
    3. or what?
    Please be a little more descriptive of your particular problem or, better yet, start your own thread and clearly indicate which problem(s) you're having and what you have done, thus far, to correct the problem(s).

  • I cannot view pdf files with free download from Adobe. Simple

    I cannot view pdf documents, since recent download of Adobe Reader. Click pdf doc, Adobe opens, but bleeps if I click anywhere on the screen, then closes.
    Recently I tried to look at my Amex Statement online, but Adobe wouldn't show the file.
    I downloaded the Statement, but every attempt to view, is futile!!!!!!
    Today, I downloaded, Assistant and signed in. Also Adobe Air. But still the Statement cannot be viewed.
    If this is a free download, why change the setup so the damn thing doesn't work, when downloaded. I don't want to view the "World", just 1 document. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. (Words of some intellect, I would say) (Please take note)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Use the Adobe Cleaner to completely uninstall Reader. http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, download the full offline installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and run it to reinstall a good working copy of Reader.

  • Cannot view images in emails on Safari or Firefox

    I cannot view images in emails on multiple accounts from different sites (Gmail, AOL Mail, Hotmail) on Safari and Firefox on my Macbook. When I click "Show Content" on the emails to unblock the spam protection, either all of the images don't show up and instead I get the "?" boxes or only some of the images show up. Can anyone help me out? I have an important email I need to print out but need to see all the images before doing so (plus, it's just plain annoying). Thanks.

    I have the same problem. Since a while I can no longer view images in html emails even though it was set to do so in the prefs. I am considering ditching the plist file but am concerned that I will lose more valuable info (like account passwords and such). What does the pref file (plist) hold?
