How can I stop the Downloads folder from constantly reappearing?

Every time I open or restart Firefox 9, the Downloads folder in My Documents keeps recreating itself. I have downloads set to always ask me where to go, and I have absolutely no need of a special Downloads folder. How can I get FF to stop creating this folder? Annoying to have to delete it every time - and I like FF to do what I tell it to.

See:
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474718 Bug 474718] – Empty "Downloads" folder should not be created when opening main page of options dialog with a custom download directory set
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649940 Bug 649940] – Opening the preferences dialog with the default settings active always creates the "Downloads" folder

    Open Firefox, choose Tools on the menu bar, then Options, General, and there's a tickbox option to deactivate the Downlaods window.

  • How can I stop the E:/ folder from popping up?

    I would like to know how I can stop the E:/ folder from popping up everytime I perform an action e.g. transfering songs, and deleting songs from library.

    This is likely due to an extension. For example, the Web Developer extension has a setting to open the error console, and some mouse gesture extensions have been known to open the error console.
    To track down what extension is causing this for you, follow the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • How can I stop the download dialog from appearing every time I open Firefox 5.o latest version?

    Ever since I downloaded Firefox 5.0 the other day I get the download dialog every time I start Firefox 5.0.1. I told the download dialog to save Firefox 5.0.1 when I downloaded it. If I now say yes to the dialog it will download and save a new copy of the program like 5.0.1 (1). If I say cancel on the dialog I keep getting the dialog every time I start Firefox 5.0.1.

    I have heard that Norton released an update patch for Firefox 5.0 on Tuesday 06-21 when Firefox 5.0 was released. ''(versus taking their normal six to eight weeks)'' Some Norton users have reported that the toolbar may not work if the Norton patch was installed before Firefox 5.0, instead if after Firefox 5.0 was already installed.

    How can I stop the Drudgereport page from autorefreshing? None of the standard answers work.
    ''locking - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/775159 ''

    Drudgereport includes JavaScript code that refreshes the page. You could disable JavaScript for the drudgereport site, that will stop it from refreshing. You can do that by installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4922/ YesScript] extension which allows you to block JavaScript on sites that you specify.

  • How can I stop the voice over from my apple tv

    I have just connected my Apple TV which appears to be working ok. How do I stop the interactive voice from speaking.

    I have the 2nd Gen Apple TV and it is where I said. Have you updated yours to the latest firmware/software? I can't see why you are unable to find it otherwise. I will take pictures if you want me to.

  • With the new version of numbers, 3.0, how can I stop the spread sheet from scrolling horizontally without reducing the size?

    With the new version of numbers, 3.0, how can I stop the document from moving horizontally?  When I scroll up or down I find it annoying that the document might shift to the left, and then I have to scroll it back to the right.  The only way I've found to stop it from moving horizontally is by reducing the document down to about 50%, but then I can't read the document.  I prefer having the document set at 125%, but then the bottom horizontal scroll bar shows up, and then the document can shift to the left if I'm not exact with my scrolling up or down.

  • How can I stop the download

    I was downloading using mozilla downloadhelper and when I save the file, it won't show up and i can't see the progress but it is saved. The problem is, I can't pause or stop it. So i tried to close the mozilla and click the 'cancel download', and the file in my desktop disappeared. But when I open the browser again, it starts to download again and I still cannot see the progress. So how can I stop it?

    Do you see this file in the Downloads folder in the Downloads Manager (Library) or on the about:downloads page?

  • How can I remove the Cities folder from my 5800

    Somehow my phone has downloaded the Cities data and used all of the space on the phone memory and memory card.
    I've gone on to the device via the "Computer" route and have right clicked on the Cities folder and then clicked on the Delete option.
    I then get an "Error Deleting Folder" message with the narrative "CITIES could not be deleted. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". The device is connected ok as far as I can make out.
    What else can I do to clear the folder as it has taken up approx 3GB on the memory card and 40MB on the phone memory.
    Thanks folks - it's driving me mad!
    p.s. - the memory status via File Manager on the phone itself still shows 39.6MB free on the phone and 2.5GB free on the memory card. Bizarre!

    OK folks a quick update on this.
    I have managed to solve this problem by deleting the folder directly from the phone itself. Access was by
    Applications - File mgr. - E: Memory card - Cities - Options - Delete
    This has also freed up the space on the phone memory as well and generated 5GB on the memory card for more music.
    If anyone has spotted any major problems with this route then please feel free to speak up and let me know.

  • HT1848 My iTunes is transferring all of my purchases into my trash. How can I change the download folder back to the backup folder?

    I just noticed that all of the purchases I just transferred have ended up in the trash. Tried it again after downloading a new app and it happened again. Does anyone have any idea how my Trash folder became the designated download/backup folder...and how can I change this?

    In iTunes open Prefs > Advanced and see what it says for "iTunes Media folder location."
