How do I get Firefox to ask me if I would like to auto rename a file I am trying to save (ie: filename(2).jpg) instead of just asking if I want to replace it?

This has been happening for a while, but just realized that there may be a solution.

Looks that this website is using a Flash player (SoundManager) to play those sounds.
If Firefox sometimes want to download files then this came be caused by an extension that prevents the links from getting initialized correctly (i.e. add an onclick handler to start this Flash player)
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

How do I get firefox to ask if I want to view or save downloads?

I used to be able to click on the attachment download link and it would ask me if I wanted to view or save the file. Now it only allows me to save the file! How do I change this back to previous way that was better?

You have to go to Tools, Options and then click on the Applications heading and then switch everything that says "Save File" to "Always Ask"

How do I get firefox to ask me to remember passwords? I have it checked in the security tab and it does nothing...

I can't get firefox to ask me to remember user names and passwords. I got a new computer and now I have to type all my user names and passwords in. I have the little box checked under security settings and there are no exceptions... so it seems it should be working... but it never even asks, no gray bar... etc.

I accidentally clicked "do not ask me this again" about forcing an extension change when downloading. How do i get firefox to ask me this again?

I was using download helper and a box usually pops up that asks me if i want to force an extension change. I clicked the wrong box and then clicked "do not ask me this again". I would like to get the box back so i can change the setting.

This could be a setting in the add-on. In some cases, you can access an add-on's setting from its icon on the Add-on Bar. In other cases, you can access it from here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
Look for the add-on's "Options" button
Any luck?

How can i get firefox to ask me to open or save a download?

firefox used to ask me to open or save a file when i downloaded it and now it doesn't, is there a way 2 change it back 2 the way it was?

Found it!
If you go to Tools/Options/Applications there is a list of file types. Here you can select what you want fireFox to open downloads with by their file type. not sure why it decided to swap from selecting an application to just saving the file, but it did.
Looks like fireFox will no longer pop up the "open with" box on an unknown file type anymore though.

How do I get Firefox to ask me where to put a file I wish to download

When I download a file, Firefox puts it somewhere. I want to be able to tell it where to put that file each and every time.

Options > General - Downloads = '''Always ask me where to save files'''

How can I get firefox to ask me to save passwords for websites and to turn back on my auto complete for webpages?

Ever since the last update of firefox my autocomplete no longer functions and firefox no longer asks me if I want to save the password for sites I visit.

"Remember passwords for sites" is shaded in the Private Browsing mode and when "Always use Private Browsing mode" is enabled.

How do you get Firefox to ask for proxy username password in a pop up window?

Previously, about a month ago a pop up message would appear when I would connect to my University's wired network proxy to ask me for my password. In Chormium Browser the following message pops up when I log in http://tinypic.com/r/i77lhi/8. A similar thing used to happen in Firefox, but doesn't anymore. I know it is not my proxy settings that are incorrect as I have double checked them and it is only in Firefox that it fails. I have Firefox set to use system proxy settings and this is the setting that is dictated by the University. It is very possible that I changed a setting while tinkering that prevents such message boxes from appearing or uses an old username and password automatically, but I haven't been able to find anything like this.
Help would be greatly appreciated! I am completely stuck on this.
Thanks
Jason

How can I get firefox to ask for password on all log-in sites?

Firefox has stopped asking to save my log-in passwords on "certain" websites. I checked my tools options, there's a check mark in the remember password box, and there's nothing in the "exception" or "allow or block" options. Can you help, please? Thank you.

I was asked if I wanted to store a password and said no. I would like to change my mind and store password for that site. How can I get Firefox to ask again?

Brand-new MacBook Pro running Lion OS (10.7.1)

Hi cor-el -
Thanks for directing me to the Mozilla help pages for passwords. I had already done that to no avail.
I had deleted the particular saved password from my Saved Passwords list (because it didn't include my username), and I now want to add it, but FF won't offer a second chance to save.
The password is not in my Saved Passwords list nor is it listed in the Exceptions.
(I'm running on a brand-new MacBookPro with OS Lion 10.7.1.)
I found the following and tried it, but it didn't work:
• delete site from bookmarks
• clear history when FF closes in prefs
• quit FF
• restart FF
• uncheck clear history when FF closes in prefs
I still can't seem to make FF offer me a second chance to save a password for a particular site.
Any help is appreciated.

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my computer. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number?

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my phone number like it is supposed to be. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number on my notebook?

To reset any OS X program just go to the folder and trash the affected files.
Open a new Finder Window
Click "Go" in the above status bar
Click and HOLD the "option/alt" key and you will see "Library" now show in the above list
Click Library while still holding the option/alt key and a new window will open with all of your system files
Go to the preference file (NOT Preference Panes)
Locate a file named <com.apple.FaceTime.bag.plist>
Locate another file named <com.apple.FaceTime.plist>
Locate the file <com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist>
Drag the files to the trash
Delete the trash
Close FaceTime and iMessage if not already closed
Relaunch FaceTime and iMessage from Applications folder
This should reset the program back to default. You will have to put your information back into the program but it should work.
Good Luck.

How do I get Firefox to check addon compatibility first, then ask me if I want to continue the Firefox update?

How do I get Firefox to check add-on compatibility first, then ask me if I want to continue the Firefox update? The update process currently only tells me that an add-on has been disable after applying the Firefox update. The Options > Advanced > Update tab switch, "Warn me if this will disable any of my add-ons", does not seem to work.

How do we check that new versions of FF are compatible with our existing Add-ons? I'm really quite over always having half of them not working after updating FF. It's very frustrating. Couldn't there be an option in the Add-ons menu that checks if they're compatible with a new version? Thanks.

Everytime I send an email in Outlook 2010, I get a message asking if I want to open Firefox Document E9B557DD-DAE3-4088-988A-9123DAC2AAC7.html. There are brackets around the number. It's extremely annoying.

It's extremely annoying. I had an issue with the latest version of WinZip, which I mistakenly downloaded and installed--it automatically zipped my files, which is not what I want it to do. I removed WinZip and reinstalled the older version, and then I started getting these messages. It also seems to be interfering with Outlook 2010 help--I get another message about downloading a Firefox document and it won't load.

How do you get Firefox to remember the response sent to remember password for a site and then not ask the same question over and over?

How do you get Firefox to remember the response sent to remember password for a web site and not ask over and over? The desktop version has a dialog box that you can check that says "Don't ask me this again". The mobile version doesn't. A real pain!
Thankx

You can switch off or uncheck the remember password in your settings :-)

I downloaded version 5.01 and it shows up with a crossout sign over the firefox icon but still asks if I want to replace my older version.

I am running an old version of firefox. I downloaded the new version and when it appeared on my desktop to move it to my applications folder there was a circle with a diagonal line through it over the icon. It asks if I want to replace the older version with the newer version, but I hesitate to do that because I am afraid that firefox won't work at all then.
