How do i disable to pop up asking me if i want to save or cancel the binary file i am trying to download?

everytime i download a show or movie from the internet a pop up asks me:
"you have chosen to open xxxxxx which is a: Binary File from: httpxxxxx would you like to save this file - SAVE or CANCEL"
this never used to happen on the older versions of firefox. it is so annoying - is there any way to turn it off?
i am running mac os 10.5.8 and no, there is no option to click a 'don't ask me again' feature in the pop-up dialog.

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • How can I get FireFox to stop asking me if I want to save a password?

    I DO NOT want ANY internet entity saving my webpage passwords. Mozilla/FireFox insists on asking me if I want to save my password to a webpage. How do I get it to STOP asking me if I want to save a password?

    Yes! Thank you! Simple and easy to follow instructions. AND it worked. Cannot ask for more than that!
    Thanks again!

    I first tried the version without the deflated stream (so everything uncompressed) against the online repair tool to check/analyse it @ https://www.pdf-tools.com/osa/repair.aspx
    And it says no error found, but the reader still want to save it when closing so i still had no clue at this point.
    Fortunately, i finally found what was wrong with my generated PDF.
    In my xref table, each object reference was not end by a full EOL, i only did put a newline char.
    Now i have "carriage return" "newline" which is the full EOL and the reader is happy and close the file silently.
    As suspected i did not follow correctly the specs on xref table
    Now i'll go and figure what i did wrong with the deflate filter
    Thanks for your help.

  • FireFox is not asking me if i want to save tabs anymore, how can i fix it?

    usually when i exit FireFox with multiple tabs, it asks me if i want to save my tabs, but i think i actudently clicked the box that said not to ask anymore, how do i get it back to asking me??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i checked the box

    You can reset the ''warn'' prefs on the '''about:config''' page via the right-click context menu.
    browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
    browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
    browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
    In Firefox 3 and later you do not get the 'Save & Quit' pop-up dialog if you choose Tools > Options > General|Main > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time".
    If that option is selected then your pages will already be reopened the next time.
    To get that pop-up dialog you have to select one of the other choices (Show my home page,Show a blank page).

    Thank you any help would be help full as every time I log into Face Book for example I have to provide all the Information and this is a pain
    Cheers Alex

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • How do I save a new password if it doesn't ask me if i want to save it?!

    There was a password saved on a site. The site made me change the password. Firefox never asked me if i wanted to change it, i deleted it as i didn't know how to change it. Now it is not asking me if i want to save the new password... ?!

    I have a similar problem which is not answered in the above link:
    I had to change my remembered username/password on a site.
    I used password manager to delete the old info. Now I do not know how to make it remember the new info. New username is there when I start typing it, but it does not give me the option to remember it, nor does it remember the password.

  • Can I make it so Pages "asks me" if I want to save before closing?

    Can I set Pages to ask me if I want to "save" a document before closing it?  AppleWorks always used to ask me first before closing a document I was working on.  Is there a way to get Pages to do this, too?  Thanks.

    No, Auto Save and Versions is a feature of Lion. Pages merely utilizes it. I don't care how many national primetime TV specials you've produced. I never called you stupid, but you are ignorant of Lion and OS X - OK?
    If all you can do is gripe about it then don't post. I'm trying to help you understand but you seem just to want to argue about the past being better than the present. If you cannot use Snow Leopard then learn to deal with what you have.
    I'll quit responding since you are becoming rude and argumentative. Sometimes you don't always "get your way."

  • All in one C4580 asks 'where do you want to save?

    Had lots of problems with this printer. Most sorted.  Now the document is sitting in the print queue but a pop up message asks where do I want to save the document to?  I have saved it - deleted original and resent but same message appears.  Any solutions welcome!

    Hi - You might start by checking the port setting for the printer.  It almost sounds like the port setting somehow got changed to "File".  Not sure which OS you're using, but go into the Printers window, right click on your printer and click on the Ports tab.  Make sure it is set to the port you are connected to.  Probably USB.
    Hope that helps.

  • I want Firefox to ask me if I want to save this password for login purposes. It did that with the first 3 sites i went to... but now it stopped asking!

    Question...
    I want Firefox to ask me if I want to save this password for login purposes. It did that with the first 3 sites i went to... but now it stopped asking!
    I've gone to several DIFFERENT websites that require a login and in ALL instances since the first 3 it saved... I don't get the popup window asking if I want to save the password.
    How do I get that feature back????
    Thanks...

    Hi seraphim99,
    You will get that [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/icons/fx4_quittabs.png Quit Firefox message] "Do you want to save your tabs for the next time it starts?" [Save and Quit] [Quit] [Cancel] if you follow what is currently step 31 in the link I had provided [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#tabslost Restoring tabs from a lost session] (#tabslost)
    Which indicates as follows: (boldface is user set)
    * <b>browser.showQuitWarning user set boolean true</b>
    * browser.tabs.warnOnClose default boolean true
    * browser.warnOnQuit default boolean true
    * <b>browser.warnOnRestart user set boolean true</b>
    Links were included there for assistance with '''about:config''' for those that don't know how to change configuration variables, along with additional reference for that and so that other similar questions of making Firefox 4 look/act like Firefox 3.6.17 would also be answered particularly the items in the first 10 steps in the same area. Which was addressed by the following part of my original reply
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic ["http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)].
    I don't know if you looked at the web page or not, but I've highlighted some additional words there to try to make the webpage more clear to others in the future.

  • How to change the default save encoding of the dvm files when create dvm???

    When I creating a DVM(domain-value mapping) in Chinese on the ESB control and confirm it, then restarted the SOA service, the DVM that I created in Chinese disappeared from ESB control. All the maps(both English and Chinese ) are in DVM Repository.
    After I updated the encoding from ‘UTF-8’ to ‘GB2312’ in the three files below, and restarted the SOA service, the DVM in Chinese appeared on ESB control.
    But when I adding the second row in Chinese and save it, then restart the SOA service, the DVM in Chinese disappeared from ESB Control once again. Because the encoding in the three files below is updated from ‘GB2312’ to ‘UTF-8’ .
    Files:
    C:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\integration\esb\oraesb\artifacts\store\metadata\files\dvm.def.xml
    C:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\integration\esb\oraesb\artifacts\store\metadata\files\dvm\Chinese.xml.def.xml
    C:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\integration\esb\oraesb\artifacts\store\content\files\dvm\Chinese.xml_1.0
    How to change the default save encoding of the dvm files when create dvm in ESB control ???

    I have the same problem.  When I updated to Mavericks now the bookmarks bar font is huge.  I liked it the way it was before.  I liked the smaller font.  Also wish I could change the color of the sidebar and font/folders too.
    I tried to see in preferences if there was anyway to change it, but I don't see anything there.

  • How can I convert the binary file content to XML message

    Dear friends,
    I poll the binary file from a ftp server but the payload only includes the binary content, no XML structure in the payload, I hope to convert the binary content to a element node within the XML structure, how can I do that? via content conversion?
    Thanks and regards,
    Bean

    Read the binary file stream using java I/O standard functions and convert the read stream to Base64 format. Now map this content to one of the field in target XML structure.
    You need a java mapping for this.
    what is your target system?
    Thanks,
    Gujjeti.
    Hi Gujjeti,
    Thanks a lot for your kind help, my target system is R/3.
    Can I achieve that with a UDF or a simple way?
