Firefox download window blank after macosx upgrade

Hi,
things worked fine on MacBook, macosx 10.4 and Mozilla 3.6
Since I upgraded to macos x 10.6, the Firefox download window still popped up but went blank after a fraction of a second.
Now upgraded to Mozilla 4.0 and the download window is now always blank.
Had a try with Safari, which works fine.
Went through all the instructions in
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Downloads%20window%20is%20blank
and problem is still there.

That worked. Thanks very much.

  • Faces in Photos showed up blank after the upgrades

    Faces in Photos showed up blank after the upgrades (no labeled faces at all) with the suggested faces mostly full of 100's of blank white circles. I used to have about 50 faces labeled with about 2500 photos. Now I have no labeled faces on top of page (completely blank) and only 9 face suggestions on the bottom. Photos also runs very slowly compared to iPhoto. I tried re-installing and re-upgrading and have gotten the same results. I'm using a Mac Pro (2009), OS 10.10.3, 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC, 7 GB storage. Any help will be appreciated and even if I have to delete the Face's database and start all over, where do I find that database or file to delete?

    1. Copy and paste is a very good way of moving chunks of text around, however, it's not really good for moving a Library containing many thousands of files. Drag and Drop is rather more reliable.
    it comes up with a black circle and a "!" image.
    2. The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    Hi candy, glad that you found that Shockwave Flash Object, it works with the Flash files and is very important
    The NPSWF files that you said are not there, those are for the Firefox browser or Chrome or some other browser. If you use Firefox and want the Flash Player for that, then close all of your browsers so you are only looking at your Desktop.
    Click on this Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop. Then RUN it from your Desktop, and after it is finished Installing, Restart your computer.
    Then Using Firefox go to the plug-ins and find a SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is Enabled. This is just like the Shockwave Flash Object for Internet Explorer, but it is the one that works with Firefox.
    Let me know if that is what you wanted to do. If you don't use Firefox, but Chrome or another browser, then this will work for that one also.
    If you don't use another browser, then don't do any of this. I just thot maybe you did and that is why you were concerned that the NPSWF files were not there.
    Thanks,

    Running Lightroom 6 on Windows machine (after having upgraded from LR5...

    If you're on Windows, check out a free program called Audacity--it's fantastic.  With Audacity the process of converting a 48.000 kHz to 44.100 kHz is as simply as opening, changing the sample rate, and then exporting again, as an MP3.

  • Suspicious Firefox download window

    An official Firefox download window was presented for a security update. I did this and a few minutes later, another window appeared mentioning an add-on Firefox update. It had a hyperlink in the window for more information about the update--but the link did nothing. I was half-asleep and can't believe I hit 'next' --it began installing. I realized in that instant it might not be a legitimate update and closed the install window before it completed--am I safe from the virus it was probably trying to put on my computer?

    There have been quite a few bogus sites recently that purport to be an update for Firefox but are trying to get you to install malware.
    To ensure that you have not been infected, try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
    * [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
    * [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]

  • The "Downloads Window" freezes after I open a file from it.

    Win7 system.
    I just upgraded from FF12 to FF14.01.
    I discovered that I was able to open only one or two files from the Downloads Window, after which the window would stop working properly. Double-clicking a file did nothing beyond highlighting its entry. Right-clicking and using the contextual menu doesn't open it either. Shutting down and reloading FF doesn't improve the situation. Only rebooting seems to get me anywhere, then only for a file or two.
    PS: downgrading to FF 13 didn't help. The folder acts the same way in v-13. It was working fine in v-12 earlier today.
    Thanks in advance for any wisdom anyone can pass along ...

    in search bar, type "about:config"
    Do this to see if it works.
    search for "scan"
    double click the first one to turn off the scanning of files when done.
    "browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone"
    -- set to false.
    I'm running microsoft security essentials so i think that's what was causing my freezes. Here's is how i fixed mine.
    Here's what i did :
    Open microsoft security essentials and go to settings.
    Under " Excluded Processes" .. browse for mozilla firefox in your program files and add it to the exclusion. --- click "add" then "save changes".
    This somehow solved my problem... hopefully whoever reads this, this will also solve yours.

  • Firefox does not start after auto-upgrade

    Firefox worked well until it prompted me to restart after auto upgrade to 3.6.4. No window displayed although the process list showed firefox was running. Can not resolve the problem even I uninstall and download/re-install 3.6.4.
    Windows version: windows 7 enterprise 64bits
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == upgraded to 3.6.4 ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.2)

    Same issue for me. I also tried to uninstall the firefox, then delete the folder in program files and reinstalled 3.6.3, 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 tried all sort of combinations I can..
    Now firefox is not opening for me in both normal or safemode... :-((

  • Firefox will not start after I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 10.04.

    I was using Firefox without issue on Ubuntu 8.04. I then upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. Firefox would not start after upgrade. Message said it was already running!
    I checked the System Monitor and saw it was "sleeping". I ended process. Firefox then would start, however..... I always have to go into System Monitor before I start Firefox to stop it from running (sleeping) even if I already just quit the program or after a fresh reboot.
    I do not use a firewall or virus program.
    My router has some sort of firewall hardware, and it is the same router I used with 8.04 with no problem.
    What is going on? Why is the program sleeping when I try to start it. Why do I always get the message that it is already running (and I have to shut it down) before I can start it.
    It is either a Ubuntu problem or a Firefox problem.
    Sonny.

  • Downloads dragged and dropped from Firefox download window into Outlook e-mail show as file location text.

    I have a user who normally can drag files from Firefox's Download window into an e-mail in Outlook and it creates an attachment of that file in the e-mail. However, lately, the dragged .pdf or whatever file only shows up as a text file location like:
    \\file:%Downloads%\randomfile.pdf
    It's not a link either, it's just the text.
    I've tried doing a repair of Outlook.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 19.
    I've tested dragging items from the desktop to the e-mail and it works fine.
    I can't drag and drop from the Downloads window to the desktop.
    I just wanted to add this user is using Windows XP Pro.

    I can confirm that this is an issue with the newest release of Firefox. I just upgraded my Firefox, which was previously 18.02 to 19.0 and now I'm getting the same error. It's a bug.

  • Classic firefox download window

    In the latest version (26) the classic download window has vanished. In a previous update (21? or there abouts) the downloads window vanished and your downloads goes to the top of the firefox window where the upside down arrow is.
    However after abit of research I found out that by going to about:config and changing the Boolean pref browser.download.useToolkitUI to true and I went to check just now and it's still set to true but I still don't have the downloads window. I don't like the horrible new way for downloads because you have to keep the browser open to keep the download from running which I don't like. Classic is ALWAYS best.

    I also HATE the lack of the download window, I dont mind the little icon on the tool bar, just give me the big (or any size you pick) list window of all downloads; sometimes I need to go after a failed download, also though I have the download window addon it doesnt show duplicates - ie: file, file-1, file-2, ect.

  • Downloads window blank and nothing downloading -- only for PDFs?

    FF 25, Mac Mountain Lion.
    In the last week, PDFs have stopped downloading and Downloads window is blank. Have tried Safe Mode and clearing cache, as well as selectively disabling DownloadHelper add-on. Nothing has worked. Acrobat plug-in is not used, I've always had the PDFs opening in Acrobat itself.
    It appears to only affect PDFs.
    I have not reset FF because that's so invasive and labor-intensive. Any other solution before i resort to that (or switch to Chrome)?

    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back soon.

  • When i double click on and item in the firefox downloads window the item dosn't open, left clicking on the item still dose not give me the choice to "open". how to fix this problem thanks

    When i double click on an item in the firefox dowloads window the item dos'nt open.Left clicking on the item dose not give me the choice to "open" the item.
    the downloaded item is a pdf file of 59 kb, and was downloaded using adobe acrobat version 5

    I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
    I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
    And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
    All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
    Command N
    I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.
