How do i get the download window to remain open after closing firefox browser window

i sometimes download a bunch of files all at ones then have to go back to review them. but i don't need the browser open to do this just the download window. in older versions the download window would remain open after i closed the browser but i don't see a way to do that anymore?

You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.download.manager.quitBehavior
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • How do I get the little messages to show up again in my browser window telling me a website wants to reload or forward my page, do I allow?

    As I surf from website to website, up at the top of the browser window (but before the toolbar) a little notice was showing up asking me if I wanted to allow the website to redirect (forward) my page. It would also tell me that a webpage wanted to reload. There was a little "allow" button at the top left and also at the top left there was a little "x". I accidentally clicked that "x" and it hid that little notice thingy. I can't figure out how to get it back. I'm brand new to Firefox so please forgive my ignorance on this. Btw, Firefox is awesome. ;-)

    * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox > Preferences] > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • How do you get your same tabs to come up after closing firefox, after shutting down computer at night

    I may have 4 different Firefox pages open with several tab on each....I got a new computer and now when I shut down at night it doesnt save my tabs.....so I can continue where I left off the day before?

    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
    *do not clear the Browsing History

  • How do you get the mail sidebar to remain visible when mail is turned off and on?

    I am using OS X Yosemite on an iMac with Mail version 8.1.  How do I get the mail sidebar to remain open so I don't have to reopen it each time I open the mail app? 

    You are not saying which Pages you have on the iMac but I presume you Pages 5. To add a period you use the keyboards key for a period. A Mac is not an iPad. They behave differently. Autocaps doesn't exist in Pages 5 but did in Pages 09 and Pages 08.

  • How do I get the download window in iTunes 11?

    Hi there,
    Back in the iTunes 10 days (ie last week) there was an option for a download windowin the sidebar that popped up when you were downloading things - eg podcasts from the iTunes Store. If you clicked on it you got a new window showing what you were currently downloading or what was in the queue to be downloaded. This doesn't seem to appear in iTunes 11 - is there a setting that I can change to get this back?
    When you are downloading over 10 podcasts each day it is helpful to leave it on that list so you have an idea of what is coming through the feeds, and possibly delete a few episodes from an ongoing subscription if they didn't sound interesting. Now it seems that you have to hover by your PC to see what comes up at the top of the screen, which is a bit stupid.
    Any clues on how I can get the download page back, or whether there is some alternative way you can look at a list of recently downloaded podcasts by date (other than by looking at the "unplayed" list - I've got over 600 unplayed episodes).
    I suspect that this may  be a really stupid question with a really simple answer. Please, let me have it - I'm stumped!
    Any suggestions welcomed.
    Cheers, TF

    I found this article with the explanation on how to find this again.  In the upper right corner of itunes (only when an item is downloading) you will see a downward facing arrow inside a gray circle with a blue status bar type line below it.  If you click that it will show you your downloads progress.

    There is no download as such. When you purchase QT 7 Pro, you are just purchasing a registration key that "unlocks" the QT 7 "Pro" editing features already built into the QT 7 Player but not activated without the key. Since you are listed as using the Lion OS, you need to check your "Applications > Utilities" folder to see if QT 7 is already installed there.
    If it is, then you will need to open the app, open the "Registration..." window under the "QuickTime Player 7" Menu and enter the "Registered To:" and "Registration code:" entries to activate the "Pro" features. Be sure to follow the instructions found on the web page I will post below.
    If it is not already installed in the "Applications > Utilities" folder, then you will have to first download and install the special QT 7 Player v7.6.6 software found on the download page which is linked to the web page containing both installation and registration instructions which is included below.

    how do I get the downloaded music on my iphone to my new home pc and itunes, it took the info from the 1st device but not the 2nd

    the appletv will not display your movies in folders.
    you could change the tags in itunes to include the genre in the "show" field in the "video" tab. this would replicate the view you want, but you will need to tag all your movies to do this.

  • How would I get the Body element background to open at  the scale of the browser window

    How would I get the Body element background to open at  the scale of the browser window? I hear that by using an HTML tag or CSS rule I could scale a background that is placed in the body element without using javascript is this true? 

    The most reliable solution is to use small image slices or tiles and repeat them down and across the page or container division.
    CSS EXAMPLE:
    body {
         background: url(your_image.jpg) repeat;

  • TS1702 How can I get my downloaded apps to stop crashing after I try to access them?

    How can I get my downloaded apps to stop crashing after I try to access them?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)?

    How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)?  I can sync with iTunes but it doesn't copy these songs back, even though they still appear in my iTunes library.  I can click on the Music link  under 'On My Device' in iTunes and the missing songs all appear to still be on the device, but they are not.  I normally delete using iTunes and do not have this issue.  This time I was out and needed more space to shoot photos and videos so I removed a lot of music from my phone through the Music App.

    The songs I'm trying to reload on my phone are on my PC.  These we had loaded into iTunes.  I can remove them all from the library and then add them all back one by one I imagine.  The problem I'm having is that I removed them manually from the phone, they still appear in iTunes music library yet they won't sync.  I don't want to take the time to compare the phone to my library, remove from the library what's missing on the phone and then add them all back again.  64GB (mostly music) will take a while.

  • How do I get the Interval to keep from repeating after it's used once?

    How do I get the Interval to keep from repeating after it's used once? Because I tried clearInterval but I couldn't get it working.
    When my code looks like this, with ClearInterval, it refuses to execute my action, which is to change scenes after a short interval:
    (Pardon if there is some formating errors, I had to reformat it for the Internet)
    Code with clearInterval command
    stop(); 
    Kollektiv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2);
    function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2(event:MouseEvent):void{
       gotoAndPlay(29);   
       var myInterval:uint = setInterval(fl_ClickToGoToNextScene_14,3000);   
       clearInterval(myInterval);
    function fl_ClickToGoToScene_14(event:MouseEvent):void{
        MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "Testside");
    However, when my code looks like this it refuses to stop looping:
    Code without ClearInterval command
    stop();
    Kollektiv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2);
       function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2(event:MouseEvent):void{
       gotoAndPlay(29);
       setInterval(fl_ClickToGoToNextScene_14,3000);
    function fl_ClickToGoToScene_14(event:MouseEvent):void{
        MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "Testside");
    Any ideas? Also, feel free to dumb your answer down, because I am completely new to Flash, Actionscript and coding.

    If you insist on using setInterval - you need to declare interval id in a higher scope so that you can clear it later:
    stop();
    var myInterval:uint;
    Kollektiv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2);
    function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2(event:MouseEvent):void
              gotoAndPlay(29);
              myInterval = setInterval(fl_ClickToGoToNextScene_14, 3000);
    function fl_ClickToGoToScene_14():void
              clearInterval(myInterval);
              MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "Testside");
    I suggest you use Timer instead:
    stop();
    import flash.events.TimerEvent;
    import flash.utils.Timer;
    var timer:Timer = new Timer(3000, 1);
    timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fl_ClickToGoToScene_14);
    function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2(event:MouseEvent):void
              timer.start();
              gotoAndPlay(29);
    function fl_ClickToGoToScene_14(event:TimerEvent):void
              timer.stop();
              MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "Testside");

  • I get the sound of a door opening and closing intermittenly.

    I get the sound of a door opening then closing at different times. It sounds like it signals when someone is getting online and when they leave. What is this and how do I turn it off or find out who it is?

    That sounds like an AOL feature. If you have AOL on line, Shut it off!

  • How do I get the downloads popup/tab to go back to the old place (on the left side?) Now that I have the latest update of Firefox, it moved it over to the right

    I would like to get the downloads tab to go back to the way it was, before this most recent update. Now that I have the latest update of Firefox, it moved over to the right. The little hand won't budge it. And the download interface is different, now it is under something called 'library', I liked the old way much better - any way to restore it to that?

    Can you clarify what you mean with ''downloads popup/tab''
    Is this the pop-up that you see when finishing a download or do you mean the pop-up you see if you hover a link?
    When a download is in progress then you see a download progress bar on the Navigation Toolbar instead of the Download Manager button and that button is highlighted once the download has finished to make you aware the their are new downloads.
    You can view the new Download Manager in a tab by opening the about:downloads page and consider to open this page in a separate window.
