Firefox will not download files or open options
When I click on a link to download a file or click on tool-options Firefox freezes up. Have tried various things to get it working, tried starting in safe mode (both FF and windows) created a new profile, complete uninstall, removed profile/personal data and registry entries, reinstalled v4, reverted to v3.6 nothing has made a difference.
I thought it might have somethingto do with the malware infection detailed [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic396318.html here] but that has been cleared up and the machine is now clean so maybe this is a seperate problem which appeared at the same time.
Hope someone has a solution to help clear this up.
Thanks
Your user agent identifies your system as running version '''2.0.14''', not 3.6.17 or 4.0.1
So please do the following.
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download a fresh installation file to the desktop.
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.
After you update, do the following.
Go to the following Adobe sites and download these:<br><br>
* Flash via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
* Shockwave For Director via http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
* Reader via http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO

Firefox will not download on mac OSX10.8.5. Stops at 15 seconds to go.
Firefox will not download onto my mac OSX 10.8.5. It stops at 15 seconds to go. HELP!!
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 25.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw (I was told that the Camera Raw update 8.3, which is available for CS6, included this camera). However, it will not download from the "Update" option in CS6. I have tried over 10 times - it just says update is not working. and I cannot find an alternate way of downloading this file. So I still can use my camera, even thought I paid to upgrade. HELP please.
What OS do you have? You say you have explained what you had (computer/opsys) but I honestly don't see it here. If you had mentioned that my advice would have been different; I believe you can only upgrade as far as Camera Raw 8.3 on an older Windows system. There is more information here (look specifically for the "Revert to 8.3 ..." titles).
Adobe Camera Raw Help | Camera Raw/DNG Converter 8.4 on Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP, and Vista
What you've done/written in your last post confuses things further, unfortunately. Photoshop 13.1 is strictly a Creative Cloud version. The highest you can go is Photoshop CS6 13.0.1.3 with perpetual license.
And as far as I can recall, that version can work on Windows back to XP:
System requirements | Photoshop
I don't think you're out of luck, but you seem to be leaping into doing things without having the full story, and are jumping to conclusions a bit too quickly.
Here's what I suggest you try:
1. Remove Photoshop entirely with the Creative Suite Removal Tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
2. Install Photoshop CS6 from your original media or from here:
Download CS6 products
3. Update the application using its own Help - Updates process. That really should get you the latest Camera Raw version that will work. If that does not bring you a Camera Raw that works with your Nikon, use the "Revert to 8.3" instructions above.

My University email uses outlook and firefox will not let the page open once i log into the university login. It used to work, but now just shows a completely white tab. My email works fine in other browsers. Why?

Firefox will not download on my neoware m1000 windows xp embedded laptop
Firefox will not correctly install on my neoware m100 notebook, os is windows xp embedded and citrix. i have tried downloading and received an error corrupted file message or it just ends at extracting files
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== i tried downloading and installing firefox yesterday and today ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)I had this same problem on a Wyse V90LE Thin-Client running XPe. It ended up that my TEMP & TMP environment variables were set to Z: which was a 30MB RAMDRIVE.
You might try changing your TEMP & TMP environment variables to some drive that has plenty of space. (100 MB did it for me) Go to CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > ADVANCED TAB > ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES BUTTON and change the value of both TEMP & TMP.
Hope this helps! -
Firefox will not download anything?
I seem to have a problem with Mozilla for Android, namely, that it will not download anything. I can click on downloads and it seems to go through the motions but nothing appears in 'downloads'. The problem started happening when I downloaded, installed and then removed another well known browser beggining with the letter 'O' :-; Unfortunately this browser messes with the stock Android download manager.
I'm running on a Google Nexus 7 with Android 4.3. Fortunately I can still download with the default Chrome browser. The problem has also ocurred on my Samsung SIII Mini which runs Android 4.1.2 so its not unique to the Nexus tablet. The problem is still ocurring even after a factory reset on the tablet!Factory reset did not actually fix the issue.
However, I discovered something quite weird. When I try to download something, although it appears that nothing happens, FF puts an entry in History.
If I now go to history and tap on the entry for the download, FF starts downloading the file and then automatically presents me with the option to open in Aldiko or PDF viewer as before!
Its a pity it doesn't work on the first attempt - but at least I have a workaround! -
Firefox will not download and neither will any other program, ever since I accidentally deleted it.
I tried to clear a history and accidentally trashed firefox, It disappeared from my dock, so I opened Safari and tried to re-install firefox. Now, it will not download. Nothing from any site will download at all. What do I do?
It sounds as though your PC is infected with fake antivirus software. The detailed cleanup instructions vary depending on which fake AV you have. However, as a first step, try this:
Download the following on a different PC, copy them to a USB flash drive or CD, and then run them on the infected PC:
Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
Hopefully these will get you back online safely. If not, search for clean-up instructions for the specific malware. -
After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) beta, Firefox will not open. A crash report is generated each time. Looking at all the crash reports, they specify the IcedTeaPlugin.so @0x7cec as the point where the crash occurs.
I was also having the same problem but it disappear once I removed the icedtea plugin from synaptic. After that I tried to re install the icetea plugin again and there was no issue in firefox, it started normally.
My icetea6-plugin version is 6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3 -
Version: Firefox4Beta

Problem:
I was downloading a large RAR file from the internet.
While downloading the file i didn't selected the save option instead i gave open with(winrar) option. I have some other rar files to combine with this file. So after the completion of this partial downloaded rar file is not saved in my system.How can i recover it.
Thanks n regards,
Ponnukumar.Shi,
Thanks for ur reply.
But i already searched the windows and looked for that file.. But its not anywhere to be found. See first while downloading i gave the open option instead of save. So after the completion of the download the file opened automatically in winRAR. I tried to extract that file then it gave me some error. After that i closed the winrar and searched for that file in windows with search option but its not seen anywhere.
Thanks n regards,

Firefox will not download any application, file, or picture. What will fix this?
Hello all. Recently Firefox has stopped downloading anything. When I click "DL" , "Save As" , "Save", or "Run". The download window pops up and nothing happens. I've read through all the articles and did the troubleshooting and nothing works. Any other recommendations other then what is already listed on the forums?
You have the Zoom Downloader extension.
Did you check if that extension or possible another extension isn't the cause of your issue?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How can I get firefox to highlight downloaded file when opening containing folder in linux mint 13
When I use open containing folder to locate the download, the file is not highlighted which, given the size of my downloads folder, makes it a chore to locate the file (especially when you've forgotten what it's named).
The file manager I'm using is nemo.
I can manually run nemo with the full path to the file as the second parameter via the command line and it will highlight the file.
Is there a config option somewhere that I can change to pass in the full file path and not just the containing folder path?I have the exact same problem.
The source of the problem is that on Linux there is no single file manager.
I tried to determine if firefox uses xdg-open or some other technique by searching the source but have not found it yet.
If the proper call is used, for most file explorers this function can be realised.
If xdg-open is used, it should be patched, which I also tried and has not yielded results yet.
What would help me pick this up further is the answer to the question: what does firefox use to open the file in the download manager? -
Safari will not download, instead it opens a blank page
Whenever I try to download a file, Safari will not trigger a download. Instead, it opens up a blank grey page. The full download address appears in the address bar, with the file name I'm trying to download at the end ( like.... http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.1.102.55/install_flash_p layer_osx.dmg )
but the download never triggers. My primary Browser is Safari Version 5.0.5 (6533.21.1), but I have also tried to download using Firefox 3.6.3. which also never triggers. I'm running OS 10.6.8 on a late 2008 MBP.
Normally, I can use the "Download linked File" function, but occasionally a website will only let me download a .html, or .php file instead. At the moment, I am trying to download the most recent Adobe Flash Player update, but its being a right mare!!! Hope someone can help me please!!Your Safari version is outdated (because you moved it) and probably incompatible with your Mac OS version. However, that doesn't explain the problem with Firefox.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Ethernet, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account that has the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t wohrk in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
In safe mode, test again. Same problem(s) now?
After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual. -
Firefox will not download slottomania.
Starting today I cannot play the Facebook game Slottomania. Firefox will download until it reaches 90% and then locks up.
This has not been a problem before today. Having the problem on two different computers.If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.

Safari and Firefox will not download from a particular site
Greetings,
I own a Dual 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 (FW800) with 2 MB L3 cache per processor and 1 GB DDR SDRAM with the Mac OS X Version 10.4.11
My Safari version is 4.1.2 (4533.18.5)
My Firefox version is 3.6.10
I want to access this site for the information that it contains:
http://www.gis.mt.gov/
Safari has never worked with this site.
Firefox has worked very well for the past 2 years.
Recently, very recently, both browsers do NOT work with this site. I called the state's technical support and was informed:
1) That it is a hit or miss possibility for Safari and Firefox to work properly with this site; and,
2) That the site is optimized to operate with Internet Explorer for Windows.
I am unable to find and to download a recent version of Internet Explorer for Mac. Microsoft ended support for this browser (version 5.2.3) on 12/31/2006. I did download this version and it did not work.
Open this site: http://www.gis.mt.gov/
Click on “Property Map” located in upper left area of the screen.
On new drop-down, click on the “OK” button
A new window should appear with a map of Montana, with outlines of its 56 counties. If this map does NOT appear; then, the problem is being shown.
If this map of counties does appear; then, GREAT.
On this new window and in lower right hand corner choose a city and click on the “Go” button. A new window with the city shown should appear. If this city does not appear; then, there is the problem.
In the past I have used the “Property Map” most of the time because it contains information most useful to me. I want to continue using this “Property Map” into the future. The problem is that my results with both Safari and Firefox is a blank window after completing the above steps.
Help ! ! What can I do different/change/modify?

There is your answer. Many US Government sites are the same - they simply WILL NOT follow the necessary web standards to make them Apple and/or Safari compliant.
The only thing you can try is to go to Safari's Develop Menu and try using Internet Explorer as the User Agent.
