Firefox 3.6 download is corrupt
== I tried downloading the browser from the Mozilla website ==
== User Agent ==

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
Do not forget to re-enable the scanning in your anti-virus software after you are finished with downloading and installing.

Extraction of Firefox 4.0 setup.EXE failed - corrupt file- what to do now?

I downloaded this setup file and when I tried to run it from my downloads window, the extraction failed due to it being a corrupt file. Is there another source for this file as well as the other file in the Firefox 4.0 English US folder?

I'm on Win7 and can't update from FF20 to 21. Extraction of setup file says it is corrupt.

I'm using yahoo email on firefox but cannot download or save doc file attachments

Emails that I have received on my yahoo account contain attachments, saved as word documents or powerpoint or pdf files. Today, when I tried to download these files, the daownloading software could not recognise the file format in any of the files (I tried with twenty different files), and therefore could not download or save the files. The pop up window simply states "Resolving...." and does not change at all.
Please assist me to download file attachments on emails that come through yahoo, when I use Firefox as my browser.

Hi there,
Please take a look at this article ([[Managing file types]]). Let us know if it worked!

When i try to go to pages that end in .aspx, instead of opening the page Firefox tries to download it as a file. How to I make Firefox to recognize .aspx sites?

I downloaded the latest version of Firefox this morning. Firefox is treating sites that end with .aspx as files and not web pages. I NEED to be able to open .aspx sites on Firefox. please advise.

Why firefox 3.6 downloads all of the files again after restartarting the browser from a website if the "clear history when Firefox closed" is not Enabled?

We have a corporate website, we officially support FF3, FF4, IE8 and IE9. Our web site is quite big, so we really need browser caching, first time page load is around 15 seconds. With files in the cache getting new page is less than a second.
Everything works perfect except with FF3. With FF4, IE8, IE9 if we are on the website, clicking everywhere is fast, the page is in the cache. If we restart the browser, it is still fast, it loads files from the cache.
But with FF3 we have a problem. Every time we restart the browser, it is loading the files again from the server, instead of using the local cache (checked with Firebug). I can reproduce the problem anytime, it is the same with every FF3 instances. I double checked, the "clear history when Firefox closed" option is not enabled.
Could you advise please how to use the local cache either after browser restart?
Thank you!
Chris

Just read that the default memory storage on FF is set to 5 mbs. You can up that by clicking on tools, advanced and overriding the default and set it to 50 mbs (if you use lots of tabs) or 10 mbs (if you use just a few).
I open a blank tab and clear the cache periodically, while I am working. I can have several tabs open and watch videos on Youtube, by doing this. Have you cleared your cache?
Since I have an older computer, I've also used CCleaner for years. I use it often, but always before signing off. You can get it free...search for CCleaner, download from Pirifoam free. I didn't change any of the settings and it clears crap left behind from uninstalling programs, clears all browsers at once of: cookies, history, passwords, etc. I love it!
I had freezing, before using the "open blank tab, clear the cache" thing. Now I have no problems. Plus, as I said...you can change the default memory usage for FF and that should help too.
Hope this helps! Good luck! :)

TS3297 music file won't download due to corrupt file

Hello!
I purchased a song at the iTunes store yesterday and after multiple tries it still won't download correctly and the error message I see says the file is corrupt and to try again later - but still no success
Anyone experience this before? Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time!

Have you actually checked your Movies folder ( Users > YourUserName > Movies ) just in case there are backups in there? Worth a try.
What happens if you launch the app with the external media drive disconnected - if it happens to be a corrupt media file, the app should launch fine with no media connected.
If it doesn't I suggest you fully delete FCP X and reinstall it - if you're able to do that.

Firefox don't download *.webm and *.mp3 files by default

I am running windows 8, firefox 33.1
Options are set to "save as" under mp3, mp4....didn't work
then I set "media.windows-media-foundation.enabled"to False. didn't work
I know you can right click to save but, I want to automatically save files like I used to be able to. It faster.
the web site that I want to save files on are as follows:
http://www.ksl.com/podcast/browser.xml

If that does not help,
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.'''
Locate the '''mimeTypes.rdf''' file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.

File Download results with corrupted file. End of File problem

Hello
I am tring to make a download program. I am tring to download an exe file from internet. Lets say the file in this website
http://www.oldversion.com/download/winrar154.exe
The part that helps me downloading is here, which is encapsulated with a "while" statement at an upper layer. So that code is a loop
                             byte buffer[];
                             if (size - downloaded > MAX_BUFFER_SIZE) {
                                 buffer = new byte[MAX_BUFFER_SIZE];
                             } else {
                                 buffer = new byte[size - downloaded];
                             // Read from server into buffer.
                             int read = inFromServer.read(buffer);
                             if (read == -1)
                                 break;
                             // Writing buffer to file below that partBut when there is no bytes left to download, it doesn't understand that end of file reached. The inFromServer.read method must return -1 whenever it reaches to an end of file, but in my code it continues looping within my "while" statement because it doesn't understand end of file has came, read becames 0 after there is no bytes left to download. It doesn't see that end of file is reached. And when download ends, the exe that I made is not working. By the way since this is my homework I am restricted to use many java classes like starts with http or url, so you don't need to suggest them. Here is my debug results for my integer read in the code: 1024 1024 1024 ....................... 512 0 0 0 0 0 ......, So till the end of the file it continues as 1024 which is my default buffer size, and at the end it continues as 0.
I would be happy if you help me.

There's a terrible amount of rubbish in this thread.
while(myStream.read(buffer) != -1){ //this will give the pretest you need for the eof.
//your stuff.
} This is rubbish because the return value isn't stored, so you don't know how much data was returned if EOS didn't occur.
If you're getting reads of length 0... you must have a bug in your code. read() methods do not return zero except via NIO in non-blocking mode.
if you get 10 0's in a rowYou can't even get one 0 in a row, see above.
int read = inFromServer.read(buffer);
if (read == 0)And again. This cannot occur.
The correct way to download a file, or indeed copy any input stream, is as follows:
int count;
byte[] buffe r= new byte[8192]; // or more
while ((count = in.read(buffer)) > 0)
out.write(buffer, 0, count);
out.close();
in.close();

ITunes download error -100000/corrupted file possible solution

I just would like to acknowledge Kate G back in an older discussion for this simple solution that helped others and I. May not work for everyone, but could for some.
If you have Kaspersky as your primary internet security, then disable the protection under "settings" then in "general settings" temporarily until the download(s) are finished. Also try disabling the firewall just in case. Then re enable everything is once they are finished.
I would assume this could work for other internet security software like Norton or whichever you have.
Hopefully this helps, and if not, then at least it was a try. Doesn't hurt to try.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Bought an album, but one song will not download due to "corrupt file".

I've tried closing out of iTunes. I've shut down my mac. I cannot get this flippin song downloaded, but the rest of the album downloaded fine. What do I do now?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Firefox PDF viewer (plugin) corrupts files upon download

This is a bug report. We have found that PDF files opened in the Firefox built-in viewer (plug-in) can become corrupted when downloaded using the 'Download' icon on the upper right-hand corner of the screen. When we attempt to open one of these damaged files using Acrobat, this error message is displayed:
'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.'
If we instead download the file by right-clicking in the viewer plug-in and select 'Save Page As...' the file is downloaded undamaged.
One example where this behavior occurred is with the the file labeled: Butterfish Fishery Information Document
on the page:
http://www.mafmc.org/ssc-meetings/2013/april-may

Someone should agitate for uplifting the fix to Firefox 25. I've probably saved dozens of PDFs this way, some of which may be dynamically generated during a transaction and now unrecoverable. !!
''Note: I'm aware of one such unrecoverable corrupted file so far, because I forwarded it to someone for uploading into a document management system and they send the error message back to me. How many were not reported back to me? Hmmm...''

When I open Firefox it tells me to download 3.6.6. Whe I do and try to ope I get a corrupt file notifiction.

After downloading 3.6.6 trying to open gives corrupt file stop
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I am having the same problem with 3.6.6 when downloading-the file is corrupt[At least that is what it says when I try to open it]
I am downloading direct from the mozilla webpage since there haave been a number of update downloads that failed.
I have windows vista.

My hotmail account isn't working so they advised me to upgrade my Firefox which I tried to do but the new version wouldn't download and I got a "corrupt file" message.

I tried to upgrade to a newer Firefox system because Hotmail told me they no longer supported my Firefox, but when I tried to upgrade, following the download, I got a message that said "corrupt file."
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

If your OSX version is 10.3.9 or older you have the latest version of Firefox (version 2.0.0.20) available for your OS. To upgrade to a newer version of Firefox, you will need to upgrade your operating system to OSX 10.4 or newer.
Your versions of Shockwave Flash (aka Adobe Flash or FlashPlayer) and Macromedia Shockwave for Director (aka Shockwave Player) are both <u>'''way out-of-date'''</u> and probably contain security risks.

How do I stop firefox from pre-downloading a file during a file download prompt?

I use DownThemAll as my download manager for files generally over 10MB, as my internet connection is generally too slow for firefox to download a file larger then this without firefox "finishing" a download before it's complete, corrupting the file. This never happens with DownThemAll.
For some sites, either there is no download link to right click or it starts automatically, launching the download prompt. Firefox's internal download manager automatically starts downloading the file (not visibly, but in the background) before I can choose to use DownThemAll from the prompt instead.
This wastes bandwidth. Even worse, some hosting sites have randomly generated download gates for each session that expire after disconnection or limit you to a single download in a given time frame. This means that I effectively can't use DownThemAll on certain websites because firefox's own download manager steps in and gets in the way.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
