How do I change the default storage file for PDFs?

I want to save PDFs. Now the default files are in AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/Content IE5/V6ZGH08N. I have to drill UP through all those to get to where I want to save the item in PDF Files. How can I change the default?

The file path (AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/Content IE5/V6ZGH08N) that you posted is the internet cache of the MS Internet Explorer and not a location that Firefox uses although MS plugins like the Windows Media Player will use that location.
Files that are opened in an external program will be saved to the temp folder as specified in the %temp% and %tmp% environment variables.
What makes you think that Firefox is saving PDF file in that folder?
Are you using an extension like IE Tab or IE View to open specific locations with IE?
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 do I change the default Apple ID for iCloud on my Mac?

    I am setting up my new MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9) from a time machine backup of my old machine (10.6.8). I want to back up my photos and music to iCloud where I have purchased addtional storage and linked several devices, but in setup, it doesn't allow me to delete the default ID which goes to a .mac Apple ID (which I have never used). Ideas? I don't want to buy another set of storage.

  • HT201342 In Apple Mail, how do I change the default outgoing address for mailboxes that I've set up?

    In Apple Mail (Yosemite on a MacBook Pro), the default address for outgoing messages from mailboxes that I've set up that are *not* tied to separate email accounts has suddenly become my iCloud address (which I almost never use). I've got my default set to use whatever address is the default for the mailbox I'm in. This works fine for mailboxes associated with different mail accounts, and until recently it worked fine for mailboxes that I had set up for convenience, using my default email address (which is an Earthlink address I've had for many years). Somewhere within the last year, perhaps with an upgrade to the OS, I've found that outgoing mail from one of those mailboxes (but not from the general Inbox) defaults to my iCloud address. I have to manually choose a different address each time (which is hard to remember to do). This is new behavior, and very unwelcome. But I can see no way to change the default email address associated with each mailbox.
    How do I undo this unwanted connection?

    Hi everyone
    Sorry however I'm experiencing a similiar issue, in that I have 10 differing email accounts.
    However in the default email accounts, for some bizarre reason, only 4 show, being icloud, one of my older yahoo email accounts, my work email and then "From My PC".
    I run two other businesses of which I have a proper Google Mail Business Accountsfor each, but non of my google email address show in the default list.
    Is there any reason why?
    I actually want one of those to show.
    I have put my google mail to the top of the inbox, however it still doesn't show?
    I've also put the default calendar as my google business account but still the default account doesn't display.
    Any ideas?

  • How do I change the default paper size for printing?

    I am running Firefox 3.6.3. Recently, the default paper size for printing unexpectedly changed to a user-defined size of 3.00" x 4.57". It used to be letter size (8.5 x 11). The default paper size is 8.5 x 11 for everything else. I have tried changing the size in the preferences dialog box and then clicking "default", but after I close Firefox or if Firefox opens a new window, the default size switches back to 3.00" x 4.57". Does anyone know how to fix this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About 2 weeks ago

    In "mine" dutch firefox 3.6.12 there is no option to change paper-size see
    "about:config" Promise to be careful (and be!) Enter "print.postscript.paper_size" gives a empty screen
    "paper_size" gives a few results
    What about the numbers 4259872, 4784247 and what is the meaning of
    paper_size, paper_size_type , paper_size_unit

  • How do I change the default iPhoto library for the Media Browser?

    I have multiple Aperture/iPhoto Libraries. When I open the new Keynote and attempt to use the Media Browser to select a photo, the pictures the Media Browser displays are not from the Default Libary.
    Is there a way to change the default photo library that the Media Browser references?

    Hello danstat,
    Thank you for the question.  The Media Browser accesses iPhoto's last opened photo library.  To access that photo library through the Media Browser, quit Keynote, access that photo library in iPhoto, quit iPhoto, and relaunch Keynote. 
    You can access the an alternate photo library using these steps:
    To switch between photo libraries:
    Quit iPhoto.
    Hold down the Option key as you open iPhoto.
    Select the library you want to switch to.
    Click Choose.
    iPhoto '11: Create a new iPhoto library or switch between libraries
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2505
    Alternatively, you can drag the photo in directly to youre Keynote presentation from the iPhoto or Aperture windows. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How can I change the default process priority for plugin-container?

    I'm on Windows XP and using Firefox 16.0.2.
    While browsing the web I often listen to pandora, but the music playback is always choppy or jerky. It especially occurs when scrolling pages up/down on other tabs. I saw on another question - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/930496 - that one solution is to change the plugin-container.exe priority to AboveNormal. I've done this several times and it works really well!!
    I also tried changing the firefox.exe priority up and down, but this is ineffective (choppy playback problem still occurs). It is very much related to the plugin-container priority.
    Please could you provide an about:config option to set the default process priority for the plugin-container. It would make a big difference for those users who have the problem. Thanks!

    thanks
    i also found solution for my poblem:
    i have this code:
    jMenuItem jMnItEdit;
    jMnItEdit.setAccelerator( KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0));
    also i had ActionListener bounded to this JMenuItem
    but Ialso had in form JTable and it always grabbed my VK_ENTER event and that menu item wasn't working at all
    but when i overrode that input map for JTable and set
    tableInputMap.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0, false), "none");
    everything started to work perfectly,
    thanks a lot

  • How do I change the default program to open PDFs?

    I would like Adobe Acrobat 9 to open my PDFs as a default program. When I followed the Adobe prompt to update (pop up), it changed the default to Adobe Reader 10.

    He's talking about Acrobat 9, not Reader.
    Those two versions can co-exist, but it's not a recommended situation. Only Acrobat X and Reader X can officially co-exist without issues.
    With any other combination, you might run into problems, like the one described above.

  • How do I change the default save location for new files in Pages back from iCloud to my Documents folder?

    I just upgraded OSX to Mountain Lion and Pages to 4.2, and because OSX is syncing with my iCloud account, when I go to save a new file in Pages it defaults to try to save to my iCloud account rather than giving me the folder structure on my hard-drive that I prefer. It requires two extra steps to save to the proper place in my Documents folder on my hard drive.
    Is there a way to reset the default so that when I go to save a new file, the folder structure opens to the last saved folder (like it does in other non-iCloud applications) rather than defaulting to my iCloud, and to do it without just removing documents from my iCloud account entirely?
    I checked the Preferences for both Pages and iCloud and found nothing about this.

    What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
    Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
    iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
    If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

  • How can I change the default EXPORT directory for latest iPhoto?

    Perhaps I am missing something, but I have as yet to find a way to set my default EXPORT directory. Since installing Lion and the iPhoto update, whenever I want to export it wants to put the image in 'Pictures', but I want 'Desktop' generally or somewhere else.
    I am all set with library and import location. In fact, Import is smart enough to remember where I import my stuff FROM - namely, the desktop.
    But once I have edited files and want to export them, the default jumps back to Pictures.
    Again, this is NEW and CHANGED behavior with the latest release to coincide with iOS 5 ...
    I just want it to remember my default from export to export ... heck, it even changes within the same session!

    I can certainly confirm the behaviour and have no solution to it.
    That said, in the export dialogue typing command-d will point the export to the desktop.
    Regards
    TD

  • How can I change the default page size for the Adobe PDF Printer?

    Hello All,
    I have cases where I need to switch the default paper size from 8.5x11 to 11x17 via api for the Adobe PDF Printer and have not been able to find how this can be accomplished.
    I am using C# .Net and would appreciate any help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Bob

    There is no Acrobat API for this, but so far as I know there doesn't need to be. The user can go change this from the Printers Control panel as needed. The Adobe PDF printer has some differences from regular printer drivers, but this isn't one of them.

  • How do you change the Default Font setting for a HP 6310 all-in-one?

    I've had this printer for a couple of years and has worked great, but just recently, the main body of text is shadowed, like a shadow font. If i print from MS word and select my font it prints great, but the default font for printing emails and anything off of the web has this shadow

    It has no style so seems to be beyond the user's control.
    I've tried changing it to something else and redefining the Free Form style, but it doesn't apply when you create a new comment.
    The closest you'll get to what you want is to have a Style that you like and apply it to every comment when you open it, using an FKey shortcut.

  • How do I change the default save location for Preview under Lion?

    I have to modify about 200 PDFs.
    When I make a duplicate of a PDF in Preview it always suggests saving it on the desktop. Instead I would like it to ask me if I want to save it either where the original file is, or where I saved something last.
    Note that Default Folder X doesn't yet work with Preview. And even then it wouldn't solve my problem.

    What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X.
