Firefox isn't saving my images

When I right-click on an image to save it, and click "Save Image As" it doesn't save the image.

Firefox isn't saving my history, even though privacy settings are set to remember history.

Firefox isn't saving my history. I'm not in private browsing mode and remember history is selected under the privacy settings. This only started after I updated to the latest version. All pre-update history is lost, too.

Firefox isn't saving my tabs

I need to start off with the warning that I have no clue what I'm doing and the work I've done so far was based on other people's advice or information I found on MozillaZine. This problem started after I downloaded the latest version of Firefox.
So... Firefox isn't saving my tabs and I think I know why, but I'm not 100% sure. (I have it saved that I want to restore my previous session whenever I open Firefox.) I went to about:config and went to look for browser.sessionstore.enabled to see if that was messed up, but the file wasn't even there. Obviously, I'm assuming that's the problem. If anyone could tell me if it sounds like I'm on the right track that would be great.

The pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.enabled browser.sessionstore.enabled] is no longer used in Firefox 3.5 and later (bug 449596).
Remove that pref if you still have it via the right-click context menu and choose Reset.
Check that Session Restore is enabled.
You can look at the 'browser.sessionstore' prefs on the '''about:config''' page and reset prefs that show as bold (user set).

If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5/6 or [[Clearing private data|Clear Private Data]] in Firefox 3 to clear the 'Browsing History' when Firefox is closed then restoring tabs from the last session (e.g. "Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

Firefox isn't saving my modification on about:config, when i change browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to true then reopen the Firefox it back to false.

firefox isn't saving my modification how i can fix it?

Firefox isn't saving my privacy (cookies) settings

So, I'm trying to get stuff off of mod the sims, and it tells me to check my browsers cookies, so I do, and I change it, but the changes don't stay, also firefox isn't keeping me logged in to websites when I tell it to remember me.

When saving an image, why does Firefox download it again, although it is already downloaded and displayed?

If you right click an image on a website and choose "save image", it will be downloaded again. It is already in the browser cache though. There are addons which let you pick it from the cache.
Why doesn't Firefox just save the cached image and instead downloads it again? There seems to be no obvious rationale to do it like that (and lots to use the cached version).

Thanks you, but that's not an answer to my question.
I'm not looking for workarounds. I would like to know (preferably from someone at Mozilla) why the browser works this way and if they are going to change it.

Cannot save images of any kind but firefox say its saved

I have been using Firefox since you guys started & never had a problem till now. I cannot save any images from any website no matter what the type & it is only happening on Firefox & it started when I upgrade to Ver. 20 which by the way I HATE....I prefer the older version so I loaded that back onto my computer BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. It is only happening on FIREFOX cause I downloaded these images using Internet Explorer which actually is easier now to use than your new Ver. 20.......
Anyway if I click on image & then "save as" & tell it where to download....it goes through the process & even shows up in the download window like it has downloaded....but if you click on the download window to see the image...nothing happens.....if you go to the file where you downloaded the image to, the file is NOT there??????? Now like I said this started after it updated to version 20...I now have Version 3.6.8 loaded....cause I do not want this new version 20....I am an old man, I have Windows Vista Ultimate on my desktop.....and I do not like the layout of 20 & it is very hard to do anything....anyway can you TELL ME PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS what is going on & why did this all happen & the big thing.....HOW THE HECK DO I FIX IT PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.......
thank you...William

hey william, first of all please [[Update Firefox to the latest version]] again as soon as possible, since it will contain fixes for [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.htmlmany dozens of known security vulnerabilities] - continuing with firefox 3.6.x will put the integrity of your system and your personal data at risk!
afterwards please go through the troubleshooting steps described at [[What to do if you can't download or save files]] - or simply [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] which probably can address the issue quickly...

How to see all image types when saving an image without selecting "all files"every time

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [[/questions/951766]]</blockquote>
Hallo, and thank you for reading this.
I am a person who saves a lot of images online and renames them in different folders in different names like B - 34 or G - 56. I have been working with firefox 10 for quite some time and it had a pretty handy bug (I guess) where I could save an image and firefox would just save the image in it's original type (JPEG,PNG etc) while "save as type" was empty.
It also always has shown all the image types in the folder where I save the images (except for GIF) and that helpes me quite a lot by saving me the trouble of selecting "all files" every time I save or going to the folder to rename every image.
Now this seems to be lacking in the newest firefox versions and my question is if I can set firefox to always show me all the image file types when saving an image, instead of only showing JPEG's when I try to save a JPEG.
Thank you for your time.

I suspect this is a Windows problem. I am surmising the FilePicker uses the Operating System or Desktop facilities. Does Windows 7 offer any other file categories like ''images'' ?
I do not normally use Windows 7, but may the option depend upon the directory being an indexed one, I ask after finding this thread ''Bring File types tab back'' [http://www.windows7taskforce.com/view/819]

Firefox won't insall into my applications folder. Says can't install because libsmime3.dylib is in use. I am running Mac Os 10.6.7 on a Macbook Pro. I can run firefox okay from the disk image but just won't install into the apps folder.

My system is a Macbook Pro running Mac Os 10.6.7 with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 duo processor with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 ram. The upgrade downloads fine, but when I try to drag the firefox image onto my appication folder, I get a dialogue box that says...Cannot install application because "libsmime3.dylib" is in use. I can run Firefox fine from the disk image.

Nope---didn't work. I've owned Macs for about 12 years so although I am brain dead on some things, I do have a working knowledge on most things. I only say that to say this--I did try holding down the mouse and choosing empty trash. It asks if I want to permanently delete what's in there. I say yes--and then I get the same identical message again-----'The operation can't be completed because the item "Firefox 8.0.1.dmg" is in use I can then click stop, or continue.' So apparently that complains the same way it does if I click it up on the menu :)))
As for item owned by---that's not an issue and isn't coming up. User is not a problem either as I am the only user on this system. There is only ONE file in my trash at the moment at that is this dmg file. Nothing Mac. Nothing owned by anyone other than Firefox. The problem seems to be that the dmg file and the original 4.0 FF file are working in tandem with each other--even though I have already drug the new 8.0 globe into the Apps folder and it updated the FF app with the new stuff. If I could force the dmg file to go away, I would do so, but at every turn the system is telling me it can't be done because it seems to think that dmg file is in use---even though everything is shut down and/or ejected. Hey--I'm getting ready to head out and won't be back till evening. I'll check back in this evening. Thank you again for your help.

Saving Attached Images in Aperture

With iPhoto, when saving an image attached to Email, I use the <save> button, and iPhoto is on the list.
How is this done with Aperture? How are attached images easily saved?
Thanks.

There isn't a way but you could make a Service to do the job with Automator

I am having problems saving certain images

I am having problems saving certain images. For example, on Ebay while viewing an auction item, when you click on the image to view the larger picture it opens in a new window. With Internet Explorer, you can "right-click" and "save picture as". With Firefox 3.6.9 the "save picture as" option is not availabale. Other options such as save "save page as" are available, but not "save as," or "save picture as." Any ideas? Thanks

I have found a solution to the problem. Apparently there is an addon to fix this. Had no idea a specific google search for "trouble saving images on ebay" would turn up anything.

Saving continuous images

Hi all,
I am using a camera through network devices in MAX (ethernet connection), and I can acquire an image from the camera and save one image. Of course I have looked up all the different examples set to record videos or continuous saving of images through IMAQ... but given my camera is not the right one (USB or NI one...), I haven't found anything that would help me on the discussion forums or else.
So I have attached the VI I am currently using, and my aim would be to be able to continuously save images from my camera, so for example set a grab and save every other second, and it automatically saves the images one after the other assigning them new names every time under JPEG format. I am using a visa resource to acquire an image from my camera and am using drivers from the company that sold me the camera.
I guess nobody will be able to see the subVI's such as "initialize" or others in my VI, but everything is working fine, now all I need is to be able to save severall images and into one folder. Maybe eventually ending up being able to save a video rather that just frames.
I know this isn't much details on the VI, but if anybody has hints r question, they are more than welcome.
Best regards
Xavier Baines

Firefox doesn't recognize my cookies anymore. I see the cookies in Preferences/Privacy, but Firefox isn't using them.

I have to log into all my sites all over again. My cookies aren't recognized. I see the cookies when I go to FF Preferences Privacy tab. But Firefox isn't using them: I have to log in to sites I've previously visited. Firefox just started doing this suddenly: no crash preceded it. What to do?

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
*Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Am being told that Firefox isn't redirecting my emails correctly. Why?

Senind emails I get a message saying that Firefox isn't directing my emails correctly.....although they appear OK in my sent mail

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
