Firefox doesn't download properly

When I download a file it says it has downloaded it correctly, but there's just a ".part" file on my desktop, like it didn't finish downloading. Can someone help me please? Thanks

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

  • I have loved my iPad 2 all these years, until the ios8 update.  Now it is as wonky as any android device.  Slow, freezes, doesn't download properly.  so sad.

    Not a question, just a comment.  I have loved my ipad 2 for several years, but now with the ios8 update it is as wonky and irritating as any android device.  Slow, freezes, doesn't download properly weird things pop up-so sad.  Is apple losing its edge?

    I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

  • Firefox doesn't download files using Download Helper

    When I use the "add-on" Download Helper icon to select a video file (FLV) for download, I'm asked which folder it should go into (as usual). But when I click "Download," the file never appears to start downloading. The number in parentheses next to the icon indicates that one file is in the queue, but in right-clicking and then checking the download queue, no files are listed. And then it sits in that configuration forever. No file ever appears anywhere on my system.
    The destination folder is present and accessible.
    This was a sudden change as of this morning, with no updates to any of my software or apps. I tried refreshing Firefox (v. 36), and I've tried disabling/deleting/reinstalling Download Helper (version 4.9.24) with absolutely no change in these circumstances. It does me no good to open Firefox in safe mode, since then Download Helper isn't enabled and therefore is untestable.
    Any ideas?

    Video DownloadHelper 4.9.24 doesn't work properly in Firefox 36. They are working on a new version and have posted a test version you can provide input on. See:
    * Test version site: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/video-downloadhelper-5
    * Info from the developer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/ ("We are aware of downloading issues when using Firefox 36.")

  • Digital Copy supplied with BluRay doesn't download properly...

    BluRays such as Sherlock Holmes, Hulk, and Star Trek come with a Digital Copy disc and code. You put the disc in, enter the code at the iTunes Store, and it begins to download. When the download queue shows it is completely downloaded, it just keeps "downloading", even though it's done. Then it either doesn't show in my Movies tab, or worse, doesn't show in my sync tab for movies, which is why I downloaded it in the first place. Any iodeas to solve?

    I checked the Event Viewer and it said that WinPcap packet was missing. I installed it and tried once more, but no luck. This time Windows Management Instrumentation (MSI Tools) was missing. Tried to install it but failed with Error 1722. Solutions on that problem seems very complicated to me as an normal pc user. Not sure if I'm on the right track.
    Are these Tools really needed for downloading my apps from Adobe?

  • Firefox doesn't work properly

    I have a problem with several different pages and while googling something. For example, when I open YouTube the page loads but I can't open any videos or anything else. I can click on them but nothing happens, but if I write the address of a video in address bar it opens normally and I can watch it. This happens on most of the pages I visit. Like Gmail or Facebook, I write my email address and password but nothing happens when I press login or Enter on keyboard.
    When I google something I can't open some page I want in another tab by pressing the scroll wheel or by holding Ctrl and clicking on it and also nothing opens when I press the right mouse button on it.
    I've tried updating Firefox, uninstalling it and then installing it again, and I can't update any plugins because when I click update, again, nothing happens...
    I've installed Chrome and everything works fine there but I don't like Chrome I want to use Mozilla.

    Try resetting Firefox. Instructions in this article - [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

  • Firefox doesn't exit properly. Please put a button on your error message to close it. I'm tired of having to remove and restart.

    This seems to be a recurring problem with many of us. Every day I have to force an exit to Firefox (3.612) and restart it. None of the suggestions made for fixing it help (extensions etc). How about taking that error message and putting a button on it that stops Firefox and restarts it? Click and done. If we can't fix it, work around!
    Thanks.

    Some possibilities are suggested in the "Hang at exit" section of this article:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit
    There's quite a bit to work through there.

  • HT1391 Where do I find audiobooks that I have purchased in my itunes account, and what do I do if an audiobook doesn't download properly?

    I recently purchased an audiobook from itunes. It had three parts, but only the last two downloaded correctly. Whenever I click on part 1 it begins at chapter 10 and the title changes to part 2 of 3. How can I fix this? Also, is there a place in my purchased area that holds audiobooks? I know how to download music and apps, I just cant find purchased audiobooks,

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download, so they won't appear in the Purchased link for re-downloading, so you will need to contact Apple.  Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that audiobook and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • Bug? firefox doesn't load clips!

    Hi everybody...
    I have this terrible problem...
    I'm developing a site entirely made with flash (customer's
    request...), and I rely on flash's ability to loadClips (movies)...
    It already works on Internet Explorer, Opera, and other
    browsers, but with firefox... it is like it doesn't even send the
    request to the server to load the clip, since I put some listeners,
    and the onLoadStart() isn't called...
    I'm using the MovieClipLoader object to make the loadings...
    so... does anyone have any idea on what's going on? any solution?
    the site i'm making is:
    http://colegiosalesiano.org.mx
    , perhaps it's a problem of my ISP, i don't know... and you all
    must agree that I MUST enable the functionality of the flash on
    firefox
    Hoping for an answer... wish you all a happy new year

    it's a lot of code.... I have this Moviecliploader object,
    and a function loads the clip... like that...
    listeners=new Object();
    listeners.onLoadStart=function(){
    //things that I should recognize it this is called
    listeners.onLoadProgress=function(){
    //the progress report
    listeners.onLoadComplete=function(){
    //completed
    mcl=new MovieClipLoader();
    mcl.addListener(listeners);
    addSection=function(swf){
    mcl.loadClip(swf,mccontainer);
    So many buttons call the "addSection()", like...
    button.onRelease=function(){
    _root.addSection("dir/sample.swf");
    Now, the code I pasted is not the used on the flash, but it
    works like that... on the Flash it doesn't
    presents any syntax error, so, it's not like that the posible
    error, but a logical planning, I guess... or
    simply the plugin for firefox doesn't works properly, or I'm
    missing something... dont know.

  • My downloads-window doesn't function properly anymore, often it just stays blank, and the one in my taskbar doesn't turn green at all. Can you tell me how to fi

    My downloads-window doesn't function properly anymore. It just stays white whenever I am downloading something. Only after downloading the same file once or twice more, it shows the progress of my download. The window in the taskbar -that should progressively turn green- doesn't show anything at all anymore. How can I fix this?

    Note that there should only be a prefs.js file (Windows hides the .js file extension) and not a numbered prefs-##.js file.<br />
    The presence of a numbered file indicates there there has been a problem with creating/updating prefs.js at some time and you can remove the numbered prefs-1.js file.<br />
    If the main prefs.js doesn't have a current time stamp then you will have to delete that file as well and redo all customization settings in Options.
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.

  • Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded. My ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all.The LED screen shows  "copy 1 or 2 from 101" and it will remain like that. It looks like sync but there's nothing to happen. It doesn't stop by it self. How to solve?

    Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded my ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all. The LED screen shows çopying 1 or 2 from 101' and itt will remain like that.
    It looks like sync but nothing is happening. The sync doesn't stop by itself. Is there anybody to solve this problem? In previous versions never a problem.

    I have exactly the same issues with my new 80G iPOD. I have found that when connecting to my PC, the iPOD does not start iTUNES 7. This can be resolved by stopping the iPOD Service in Computer Management, connecting the iPOD and then starting it again. Then when you start iTUNES it finds the iPOD. - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    Seems like a stupid long-winded way to do things, but at least you can get some stuff on to your iPOD.
    As far as using Restore goes - I just get the restoring iPOD message you described, which it blatantly isn't :((

  • I downloaded Newest mozilla yesterday, adobe updated, and now when I click a YouTube video I get a box saying "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (rtsp) isn't associated with any program." and can't watch any videos?

    I downloaded the latest version of Mozilla Firefox yesterday, full and complete, and I am actually using it right now. The only problem I have had is upon clicking any YouTube video, the box pops up saying "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (rtsp) isn't associated with any program." But there are no directions or suggestions on how to address this problem. Ive looked at YouTube add-ons and none of them really seem related. Upon the finish of the new Mozilla, I also was prompted to upgrade the flash player, and did so without any trouble. I am only guessing this is an extension/plug-in problem. I really am quite confused!

  • Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?

    Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?
    When going to firefox.com and clicking the download button, immediately I get directed to the dutch / Nederlands version of the site and I only get the choice to download Firefox Dutch/Nederlands.
    I want the English version. Wouldn't it be better to ALSO have an option to select the language, wherever the software detects you're getting your internet connexion from?

    As people posted, You can select whatever language you want instead at the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html Systems & Languages] link below the download button.

  • Firefox doesn't play video and audio, cann't download anything!

    A very strange problem occurred a few days ago. I didn't pay attention on it at first ( I thought it was caused by my provider) but now I found that it's a real problem. Firefox doesn't play video or audio. For instance, it starts loading and that's all. The same is with playing music. In addition, I can't download any files and view a big image as quick as early.
    What is more interesting sometimes Firefox just begins to work in ordinary way.

    There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
    If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might also work.
    If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

  • Firefox from version 3.6 to 11 beta doesn't work properly with gmail

    Gmail doesn't work properly with any version of firefox from 3.6 to 11. I have tried several newer versions of firefox and they ALL DO NOT WORK PROPERLY with GMAIL!!!!!! THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING & ANNOYING!! I can't click on any links or it just keeps saying LOADING when I try to delete a message or even go into the gmail settings.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />
