Firefox Downloads (in classic or new download window) does not show progress or downloads

I noticed that when I download anyhitng that the download window (classic and new) windows do not show progress anymore, do not show files downloaded, nor give me anything to right-click and go to that folder, in which it was saved. I had it fixed for 1 day, until it started to lose the files the next day.
I only see the arrow turning green, with no result within the downloadswindow.
I had done the following:
1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter.
o The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
2. In the Search field, type browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone.
3. Double-click on the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone setting to change its value to false.
You can set the Boolean pref browser.download.useToolkitUI to true on the about:config page to restore the classic Download Manager window.
Yet this problem still continues.

  • Want to upgrade to lastest version - help/about Firefox window does not show "upgrade" as in instructions.

    I want to upgrade to latest version but -Help/About Firefox- window does not show "upgrade" as in the instructions. I cannot find an "upgrade" function anywhere else. How do I upgrade? The version I have is -18.0.1- it came with this used computer.
    I believe this computer was hacked. Word started doing very strange things. We wiped the hard drive and reloaded everything as it was originally when I bought it. I am now getting hacked online.
    They originally got into one of my credit cards last fall. That is when this all started. They got my AOL email address. They also got the credit card current balance, minimum payment, due date and then even the payment amount. They got into my Barnes & Noble account and now checkout does not work. Now I believe they have gotten into my AOL account - one thing after another has started going wrong. I cannot change that AOL user id/email address since it is the master and I would lose about 15 years of "stuff".
    The folks that sold me this computer told me to use a free version of an antivirus. I am very unhappy with it. I never had ANY trouble when I used TrendMicro's expense products. Those folks also told me to use Firefox, since AOL uses Internet Explorer - which I already knew is like Swiss cheese.
    Now, I cannot seem to get an upgrade of Firefox. Is this also a hack?
    Please help any way you can. Thank you for your time.

    It's probably just the Firefox updater having some problems. go to www.getfirefox.com and download Firefox 20.0.1

  • ITunes on new Mac Mini does not show shared libraries on network or songs on NAS drive

    iTunes on new Mac Mini does not show shared libraries on network or songs on NAS drive
    The latest version of iTunes on a 3-month old Mac Mini (8 gig RAM, OS 10.10.2) does not see any of the shared iTunes libraries on a  MacBookPro (MBP) (OS 10.9.5) and a 14-month old Mac Mini (OS 10.9.5). And a network shared drive/media server does not appear as well. I have a Gigabite Ethernet G4 and on it, the MPB and the "old" mini I can see the various shared music libraries and NAS, but not on the new Mini.
    The little house with a music note inside it that I see on the upper left corner of the iTunes 12.1 window on my MBP does not appear on iTunes 12.1 on the new Mac Mini. I have gone through all the iTunes preferences and can not find where I can turn on this feature. The new Mac Mini is on the local network and I can reach the internet successfully.
    I have been using iTunes since its beginning (still have a PowerTower Pro with a working copy of SoundJam), so I am not a newbie, but this has me baffled.

    May I add, that I gave full rights to the user at the Mac Mini to access and change data on the server drive for ITunes Media.

  • Site Window does not show any item

    Hi,
    My site window does not show any items/folders to modify after I open my site.  I was wondering if there is anyone who can point out what I did wrong.  Usually the site window shows all the contents as soon as the site is opened.  Please help.  Thank you.

    If you look inside the webcontent folder, in Finder view (or Explorer???? if you're using Windows) - anyway, are there in fact files in there?
    Try Site > Update > Refresh all.
    If that doesn't work, try making a new site from existing content, which should give you a new site file (call it something slightly different) sitting beside your old one. I'm guessing here, but it can't hurt.

    I am having a video chat, but the pop-out window does not show the video when the main window is minimized. I have the latest version installed. The same problem happened once a few months ago (with the latest version installed).I searched online for quite a few days, but none of the solutions worked. Then one day the problem went away (mysteriously).

  • Double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail

    double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail unless I go to forward or reply. In other words, I may see a couple sentences, then it's just blank, no scroll bar either. This gets annoying. Anybody else get this or know how to overcome this?

    Well, there is no such thing as an AOL type account in Mail. Such an account must be set up as either POP or IMAP. Nevertheless, knowing that the ISP for one of the accounts is AOL is useful because it seems that other people also have this problem with AOL -- see Chuck Coulson's and smackwell's posts in this thread.
    I don't think I'll be able to help you with the AOL account other than telling you to try rebuilding the mailbox -- select the mailbox and choose Rebuild from the Mailbox menu. Have you tried that?
    The problem shouldn't happen with the POP account, however. Do you experience the same problem with it as well?

  • IPhoto does not show photo's downloaded

    In iPhoto, my photo's I have downloaded from facebook or other sights appear as grey squares and does not show the photo's. However when I run the cursor over them, each photo appears for a brief second then back to a grey square. How can I view these?

    This has nothing to do with Pages.

  • Lightroom does not show on the download list, why?

    I have just jointed CC and DL'd PS, but LR does not show up on the DL list of programs....?  what's up with this?

    If you have a perpetual Licensed version of LR 5 installed or a trial version you need to uninstall it. With a normal uninstall your user files, presets, catalog will remain in place.
    Shutdown your system and reboot, then open the CC application manager and Lightroom cc should be available for download.
    Both versions of Lightroom are identical only the licensing process is different.

  • My new iPad mini does not show under manage devices

    I just purchased a new iPad mini for my husband. I removed his old one from the section of iTunes that reads manage devices. And even though his new iPad mini is synced and backed up, now the new one does not show under manage devices.
    Can anyone tell me how to get it to show up? I called Apple support and the lady trying to help me did not even know what I was talking about.
    Thank you.

  • Can connect to computer but window does not show up

    We are having issues with Apple Remote Desktop connecting to a couple of servers. Server version varies. It is happening on one server running 10.6.8 and one computer running 10.5.8 and one running 10.4.11
    When we connect to the server it appears to connect (the computer shows up in the windows menu) but the window to the computer does not show up. It is almost as if there is a no pixel window open. I have tried forcing the VNC server and ARD processes on the server but this doesn't change anything. The only solution for this problem is to restart the server and then ARD works noramlly for a while but it will eventually return to this behavior.
    Has anyone else run into this problem?

    when the issue happens, can you connect using other proticals / programs? ie VNC via connect to computer in the go menu of finder? OR ssh in the terminal to connect to the server?
    if you can ssh into the server, you could try the kickstart command to restart ARD.
    if you can't connect to the server at all. Can you ping the server? Ether way, if you go to the server , will it browse the internet?
    if you can't ping the server, are you using the Fully qualified DNS name to ping? or the IP to ping? or the server.local name to ping?

  • New Audiobook says it's downloaded but does not show up as download in Music Player

    Hi
    I've paid for an audiobook from iTunes on my iPhone.  It says downloaded on iTunes even now, but it's not on my phone under Music Player and audio books.  Any idea please.

    Either put the files in the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder in your iTunes folder, or use the iTunes file menu > Add to Library... and select the files in the dialogue box that comes up, or just select the files and drag them to your Music library in  iTunes' left column.
