Firefox won't download a zip file

There is a chat board that I belong to and they posted a zip file. It looks like a white piece of paper with a folded over corner and says zip on it. When I put my cursor over it, it kind of blows up and then says at the bottom the file name then file.Zip 260K, but I can't click on it to get it to download, save, open, reject, nothing.
I believe I have downloaded zip files in past but for some reason can't download this one.
Can someone help please.
I am running a Toshiba laptop with windows 7 service pack 1

Are there other similar downloads on the site that do work, such as images, Word documents, etc., or are they all broken the same way?
I wasn't familiar with the ModPlugin extension. Does it operate on the site that has the problem? If so, could you test with the extension disabled? You can do that by restarting in Firefox's Safe Mode, or manually on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions.
If that extension is not relevant to the site that has the problem, or if the problem continues after disabling it, can you provide a link to the site so someone could check it out?

  • Firefox insists on downloading a zip file with an application. Options is set to ask for download loaction but does not work

    When downloading a ZIP file I get a 'Launch Application' window.
    In Options I have set download to ask for a location and use the download window but this does not work.
    cannot find any way of changing this and there is no option for using an application.
    If I down load in IE I have no problems so it must be FireFox and not a system problem.

    I have found the problem.
    A download manager had been installed for a specific website and it was butting in all the time. Even after removing it with 'Add or remove software' it still had its hooks into the system and it was impossible to download anything as it now would not run.
    Had to do an XP 'System restore' before I could get rid of it.
    The offending program was MD_setup.exe size 3,045KB from the themediadownloader.com

  • I've downloaded a zip file from noisetrade, but it won't open on my mac...what shall I do?

    Hey guys, wondering if someone could give me some help. I've downloaded a zip file from noisetrade, but it won't open on my mac.I keep clicking and it vhanges to a cgzp file..and even when I changed the end bit to zip, it won't open. I've tried the unarchive app andthat hasn't worked either...what shall I do?
    Thanks in advance :-)

    iWork (no 's') for iOS & iWork for Mac have not gone away.
    iWork.com (beta) (also no 's') is going away the end of July. iWork.com (beta) is/was an online method of sharing iWork files with other users & never moved out of beta in 3+ years. It is a completely different entity than the iWork apps & is not & never has been necessary for the iWork apps to function.
    A Numbers document, as well as Pages or Keynote documents, cannot be opened on a PC. You must first export them to a file that a PC can use. For Numbers that is generally Excel. In Numbers on your iPad tap the wrench & then tap Share & Print & choose Excel as the file type.
    As for transfering a file from a PC to an iPad, I'm not sure as I don't use a PC.

  • Firefox won't download files

    Long story, short version: Problem is a progression from bad to worse. Firefox 33.3 won't download or save files (images, web pages, etc.). File picker doesn't open/ can't browse folders, etc. Tried troubleshooting including: reset firefox, safe mode, new profile, rename profile folder files, reset about:config entries, clean install, etc.- nothing changed. Running Windows XP with all updates installed. Using Avast free, Zonealarm free, etc. Workaround currently using down them all add-on is "ok". Any help is most appreciated.

    you are welcome :-)

  • Firefox won't download files-Opens new page and just stops whenclicking on download icon or address.

    Suddenly, Firefox won't download a file from a clickable icon or web address. This seemed to occur after installing HideMyAss. When I click on a download address, or an icon, the page changes, (as opposed to just starting the download) attempts to load (status bar goes to halfway) and then nothing, it just sits there. If I try to download a torrent file, the same thing occurs, although I can download it using option+click. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Doug

    Reinstalled FF with new profile to check and it still performed the same problem. Couldn't download files from links sent to me through email program that I use either.
    Eventually, after a quick 5 hour reinstall, FF is now working.
    Until I figure otherwise, I'd take a pass on Hide My Ass.

    I downloaded a .zip file. It ate up my space and i cant find the file. How can i get this file off my phone?

    Not possible. Safari won't download and save a Zip file. You either had to use a 3rd party app, or as wjosten suggests, your phone is jailbroken. If the former, you'll need to use that app to find it. If the latter, you'll have to look elsewhere for assistance.

    Hi,
    You can download a zip file like any files with the Webclient class, look at the details and examples in the msdn documentation for downloading content on demand it even talks about how to download and get a specific file from a zip archive.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc189021(VS.95).aspx
    Besides,  if you want to list the files,you could check articles below:

  • Problem on downloading a zip file

    I am having a problem on downloading a zip file(file size is about 2Mb). Sometimes I can get a complete file and can open the file, sometimes the zip file is chunked(the file size is smaller than the right one), so I can't open it.
    The file content is stored in a blob field. The code first goes to database get the blob as inputstream, then copy the inputstream into response.getOutputStream().
    The problem is unpredictable. Even for the same blob data, sometimes I can get working file, sometimes I just get crapped file.
    Could somebody help me out? I am struggling with it.
    Any input is appreciated!

    Steve,
    I appreciate your answer.  While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
    With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
    Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change.  Yes, it might work.  The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
    Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro?  Any issues with anyone else?
    Thanks Steve.  I do appreciate your offering a solution.  I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

  • No luck trying to extract .inf files from drivers downloaded as zip files

    Hi,
    I am trying to extract .inf files from drivers downloaded as zip files from the Toshiba website, but I'm having no luck.
    I am trying to deploy images using WDS on server 2008 and need the inf files for this to succeed, does anyone have the answer to this problem.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi
    I found this tip:
    Someone wrote this:
    +You have to run the installer, wait for it to get to the first point where you click Next to continue, and then leave it sitting there. Go into your system's Temp and find the particular one with the installation files inside it that were extracted, then copy it someplace, go back to the installer and cancel it.+
    You could also try this freeware application to extract the package:

  • Finder crashed after downloading a zip file with pictures

    First my desktop icons disappeared. Then the finder, appears and disappears every 3 seconds. Simultaneously the Finder also disappears and reappers in the "Force Quit Application" window. This started after I downloaded a zip file with family photos from a friend (on a windows machine). Rebooted off the Tiger installation dick. Running disk utility off the Tiger installation disk did not help. Permissions were repaired but the finder is still crashing Tried relaunching the Finder from the "Force Quit Application" window. No help. Ran Virex (outdated by 12 months) without any benefit.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    There's a shameful glitch in Finder where if you drag certain attachments off a mail document onto the Desktop the Finder will do its quit/relaunch jitter bug--will also do it for illegally named files on the Desktop, and will hang for dang near forever it you accidently drop 100s of files onto the Desktop. The easy solution is to start the affected machine in target disk mode, hook it up by firewire to another Mac, then navigate to the affected user's Desktop folder and move the funky file or files into a new folder.

  • Downloading attached zip file from emails using safari

    How to download, and where will be the downloaded attached zip file in email be stored using safari? How to open and save the zip file attached to the email? Do you need an app to open and store the zip file?

    The app GoodReader (I don't know if there are any free apps that can also do it) can be used to zip and unzip email attachments
    press and hold the zip file in your email - after a couple of seconds you should get a popup, with one option being 'Open in GoodReader' which you should select
    GoodReader should then open with the zip file listed under My Documents
    select Manage Files on the right-hand side of GoodReader, select the zip file, and touch the Unzip button that appears on the right
    You should also be able to download zip files directly into GoodReader by typing the URL in its Wed Downloads sectio.

  • Need to download MDM71500_ENRICHMENT_CONTROLLER.zip file for EC scenario.

    Hi All,
    Does anybody can tell me that where I can find SP05.ZIP file to download?
    I need to download MDM71500_ENRICHMENT_CONTROLLER.zip file object for an enrichment scenario.
    And SP05.ZIP file is not available in SMP(SP 02, 03 ,04 ZIP files and SP 05.SCA files are available in SMP).
    Regards,
    Nirmala.

    Hi Nirmala,
    Since SP05 release, The Enrichment Controller isn't delivered as a ZIP file. The content is now divided. The EC deployment file is located where you suggested (in the EC application download section) and the rest of the package is delivered with MDM business content package and it contains the simulator repository and all the extra content for the Customer and Vendor repositories, in addition you can find there the sample XML and matching XSD files. if you intend to develop an adapter you'll be able to find a sample adapter as well.
    Best Regards,
    Ran

  • Firefox won't download pdf's using iMacros "TAG" command

    For work, I automated the downloading of documents (doc, docx, pdf files etc.) using a simple macro in iMacros. I had to use a macro because the nature of the site is - go to the main screen, click a client name link, scroll down and click a link to download the document - then go back to the main screen and repeat. The macro automated this tedious process and WAS working with about 95% success (seems that I can't tell firefox to automatically save a txt file for some reason - but that's another story). Now, all of a sudden, the macro won't download any pdf's. The macro still works fine when the document is a doc or docx or rtf file but when it hits a pdf file, it does nothing - just moves on to the next client. Since the macro works properly with the other file types (again, not txt - but everything else) it's probably not an iMacros issue. The frustrating part is - I can go into the page manually where the pdf file lives - and click on the file - and it works properly - file downloads automatically as it should.
    the macro code line is very simple:
    TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TARGET:_blank
    I had to set all my document file types to automatically download (including adobe files) when a link is clicked - which is fine - and like I said - the macro used to work - just stopped downloading pdf's all of a sudden.
    Also I disable the adobe plugin - but that didn't work - since I have adobe files set to download automatically it shouldn't make a difference if the plugin is active or not anyway.
    Any help appreciated,
    Thanks

    Hi,
    As a safe test you can try installing [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/imacros-for-firefox/ iMacros] in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile] and check. The [http://forum.iopus.com/viewforum.php?f=11 iMacros support] would also be helpful.
