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.

  • I get the firefox pop up "do you want to remember this password", but it does not save it. There is no "yes" option on the pop up. How can I get Firefox to save my passwords?

    I want Firefox to save my passwords as it has in the past, but now it is not doing so. I am using version 6.0.2, I see the pop up asking to remember the password, but firefox does not save the passwords. What can I do to correct this so FF starts saving my passwords?

    Firefox 4 and later versions place a key icon on the location bar that allows to (re)open the dialog to save the password at any time.<br />
    That pop-up dialog has a button labeled with "Remember Password".<br />
    If you click the arrow next to that button then you see the other choices ("Never Remember Password for this site", "Not Now").<br />

  • Firefox does not save my tabs and windows from last time when I start it although i have already set it so (on Macbook)

    Firefox does not save my tabs and windows from last time, although i have already set it so (on a Macbook) (newest version)

    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

  • Have just down loaded Yosemite over Mountain Lion, Indesign CS5 does not work ( Am dependant on it) although Bridge , Light Room and Elements operate OK How do I solve this rapidly. Can any one help on this issue. Thanks

    Have just down loaded Yosemite over Mountain Lion, Indesign CS5 does not work ( Am dependant on it) although Bridge , Light Room and Elements operate OK How do I solve this rapidly. Can any one help on this issue. Thanks

    Sorry to say it, but I think you can see from Bob's response that there's no way to solve this rapidly.
    Did you take an image of your Mountain Lion install before upgrading to Yosemite? Roll back to that. If you're not in the habit of taking a snapshot of your system before performing operating system upgrades - get in that habit. If you are dependent on anything at all on hour computer, having a reliable backup method in place is essential. If you don't have a Time Capsule, or some other way to run Time Machine onto a disk that's not in your computer, go set that up yesterday.
    If you can't just remove Yosemite and roll back to Mountain Lion for whatever reason, you can partition your drive so that you can install both Yosemite and Mountain Lion on the same drive, and then boot into Mountain Lion when you need to work in CS5. Or you can take your Mountain Lion disc (I assume you have one, no?) and then use it to create a virtual machine in something like VirtualBox to run Mountain Lion from inside Yosemite.

  • Firefox does not save my settings when I reboot

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate. I was having problems with Firefox 3.6.16 crashing to the point where it wouldn't work. I uninstalled it and downloaded version 4 but had problems with it hanging all the time. I went through the help section, one of the things I did that was recommended was to delete my sessionstore files and any extra copies. I think there were three of them. I deleted them all but Firefox 4 still was hanging.
    I uninstalled 4 and reinstalled 3.6.16 again. Everything seems to be working okay except when I reboot or restart my computer it does not save all of my password logins or any special settings on websites I visit all the time. So every time I start my computer I have to log into all my sites again, and I have a lot of them so this is really a pain. I'm not sure if this has to do with deleting the sessionstore files or not. I checked and I do have one sessionstore file instead of three.
    Not sure what else to try. If I leave my computer on I stay logged in to all my sites and my preferences on those sites are maintained. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

    I have tried to make a backup of the bookmarks file. Renamed the old one and called the backup "bookmarks.html".
    The places.sqlite file is not "secured" (there does not exist a "locked" attribute in the general tab on the Mac), so I assume it is not locked.
    Nothing seems to work. Possibly I can best uninstall Firefox and try to reinstall it, or does that not solve the problem.
    Otherwise I go back to Safari :-)

  • Firefox does not save my tabs or sessions when I shut down my computer

    To be more clear:
    Yes, I have set my options to "show windows and tabs from last time".
    No, I did not check "clear memory on shut down" or "start private session"
    Also, it saves my tabs when I restart the browser, but when I shut down my computer and start up again, Firefox does not show my tabs from last time. The same thing happens with sites I've logged onto before; it logs me out after I shut down my computer.

    Did you check the "Clear Recent History" settings to be sure cthat you do not clear the Browser history and the cookies?

  • Firefox does not save toolbar I made

    Since FF upgraded me to Firefox 23 My tool bars are messed
    Every time I make a new toolbar Via "Customize" > "Add New Toolbar" after I exit it does not save.
    Yes I read over 10 different articles on it.
    1) I deleted the localstore.rdf and started from scratch. After 15 minutes of dragging all the icons to various toolbars I close out of Customize. I then restart Only to find my toolbar not saves and icon missing (placed back into the Customize Box)
    2) Only solution ALWAYS given is going to Safe Mode and resetting everything.
    That requires me to spend 5 hours backing all the settings and data I have saved in the various 189 items loaded.
    Why so many? If not that many I would have to spend 6 hour more all day on my computer doing things that many of these addons do for me. Time is Money.
    3) This is not the first time over the 8 years or so of using Firefox this has occured.
    4) Question why doen't save when you close out of "Customize" than when you exit? Plus what in Firefox is messed up that it is not saving right?

    Nope, I tried it again and added buttons to the New Tool bar I made and everything disappeared once I restarted Firefox up again. So they have not solved it. From FF 23 now on FF26 and it has not been fixed

  • Firefox does not save history and bookmarks and I can't even clear history.

    Hi, I would like to ask some help regarding my firefox.
    At first, I have this Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 where it all started.
    I can't remember really when, but I just noticed that I can't clear my history even though I checked all and selected "Everything". Already tried re-installing FF, still none.
    Then another one is that, it does not save history. All the history it saved were from the past. No new history can be added.
    Please help me..

  • Firefox does not "close" when closed under Windows 7; Task Manager must be used to "End Process." How do I close Firefox and reopen it without getting a "Still Running" error message?

    Even though Firefox has been updated multiple times (currently using Ver. 3.6.13) since I started using Windows 7, I am still unable to totally close it from the toolbar or taskbar. Firefox does closeout on the screen but apparently continues to run in the background. If I open Firefox at a later time, I get an error message stating that Firefox is still running. I then have to go Task Manager to "End Process." Electing to do so allows me to restart Firefox. I never had this problem with Firefox when using Windows XP and I never have this problem with any other software under Windows 7.

  • Firefox does not save cookies in search

    When I am in search Firefox does save the sites I visit by changing color. When I visited a site in search the sites that I visited would change color. It is set to save history what else do I need to change.

    It used to change color when sites are visited but it does NOT do that now.

  • Firefox does not update after downloading updates on restart. How to fix?

    For quite some time now I receive the auto-notification that an update is ready to download. I proceed with the download and restart Firefox, yet the browser never updates. How do I fix this short of doing manual downloads every time?
    MacBook Pro Mac OS 10.6 FF v 10.0

    Thanks for your reply, Matt. I already read the knowledge base article, and it doesn't specifically address my issue. The update IS being downloaded, yet it is not updating the FF app - even on restart. As I indicated in my initial question, I've been experiencing this for the last year. To finally upgrade to v.10.0 I had to download a fresh copy of FF. Now, again, for the last two updates that I've been notified on - 10.1 and 10.2 I've followed the same procedure - allowed the downloads, did the restart and NO UPDATE to the app.

  • Whenever I shop thru Amazon, Firefox does not show ANY pictures of the products I'm trying to buy. Ever. But, IE works just fine. What can be done to fix this?

    OS=Windows7.
    There must be an easy setting somewhere that I'm missing, because my wife's laptop works when she shops on Amazon and she's using Firefox with Win7, as well. On my PC however, (IE) works just fine, but Firefox will not show images of the products I want to buy.
