How do I cancel a download in firefox private browsing mode?

Hi. When I download something in private browsing mode, I understand that it doesn't appear in download window.
How do I cancel a download without closing the private window?
I don't want to close all windows because I have several tabs opened and it will be really cumbersome to close all tabs and trying to open all of them again just so that I can cancel one download.
Details of my system is as following.
Name Firefox
Version 24.7.0
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0
Thanks.

Note that Firefox 24.8.0 is the current ESR release (click Show: Firefox 24).

That should work with the ESR version as well and while in a Private Browsing mode tab/window you get the about:downloads page in a tab in that window and if you are in a non-private mode tab you get the Downloads folder in the Library by default, but the about:downloads page shows the downloads made in normal mode.
I can toggle the state of about:downloads tab with the Private Tab extension to switch between the two modes and see their content change.

  • How may one cancel the download of an update that was started by having actuated the "Check for Updates" button in the "About Firefox" window, please?

    How may one cancel the download of an update that was started by having actuated the "Check for Updates" button in the "About Firefox" window, please? If possible please cover all platforms, Mac, Windows, Linux, although the first mentioned is what currently applies to my circumstances.
    Thank you.

    Such a download is usually saved in an updates or updated folder in the Firefox program/application folder.
    You can delete this folder to cancel the download.
    If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.

    How do I cancel a download for a rented iTunes movie because there isn't enough storage space?

    Purchases cannot be cancelled, but if you cannot clear enough space to allow the download, go here:

    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Perhaps there will be something they can do for you.

    I started to download from software update and decided I don't want the items after the download had begun. How can I cancel a download? I don't want to just pause it, I want it to GO AWAY. I don't want it to resume any time ever.

    If you're downloading directly on your device, you can't cancel it. In fact, all iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad devices will automatically download iOS updates (when new one is available) when your device is charging and connected to the internet. If you don't want to upgrade, do not install it.

    How can I cancel the download of a movie on iTunes?

    Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let it complete the download (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page  (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button)  and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you. 
    Regards.

  • How can I stop Firefox 's private browsing mode from restricting Netlflix from storing settings on my computer?

    I have a Netflix subscription, which is supposed to let me watch movies online, on its website. However, when I selected one of their "Instant Viewing" movies, a page popped up, saying: "Silverlight Application Storage Error -- Firefox's private browsing mode is restricting Netflix from storing settings on your computer. To resolve this problem, perform the following steps: Click the Tools menu at the top of the browser and select Stop Private Browsing " if enabled.
    There is no such "Tools" tab/menu at the top of my Firefox browser; there's only a drop-down box with various headings, but "Tools" is not among them.
    How do I fix this thing with Netflix?

    This will be an old message written before the Firefox button came into common use.
    * use '''Firefox button -> Stop Private Browsing'''
    * see [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]]
    * you may also need to review your History settings<br/>[[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
    Note there is a further change in Firefox 20, that will provide Private Browsing on a per Window basis, allowing you to use some tabs for Private Browsing, whilst most behave normally and save information. The help (kb) articles should be automatically updated to cover this.

  • How can I fix this: Firefox is locked (unlock options greyed out) in private browsing mode on my MacBook Pro running Lion.

    It seems frozen in private browsing mode. Cannot get it back into normal browsing mode. Firefox is completely updated on the MAC as is the MAC Lion OS.

  • If Firefox 20 is in Private Browsing mode then a possible persona is disabled and the default theme is used - oh god, no - what can I do to keep both?

    Cor-el answered on the 4.4.13: " If Firefox 20 is in Private Browsing mode then a possible persona is disabled and the default theme is used. So you will have to make a choice."
    Can I go back to an older version of FF? I really do not want to choose. Will that problem be fixed in FF 21? I really love Firefox, it has always been my favorite browser - but giving up the Personas will be hard and I don't understand why I have to...
    How do I reinstall an older version of FF? Is there another solution?

    Remember to use the per window Private Browsing when you are doing banking or other confidential / financial work.
    One option is now
    * '''Firefox Button -> New Private Browsing Window'''
    * (Linux / xp File -> New Private Browsing Window)
    * see [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]]
    You may even benefit from saving your History.It improves the functionality of the location bar / ''awesome-bar ''
