How do I re-enable showing the download files history in the download manager window?

System: Windows XP
I am trying to re-enable showing/retaining the list of downloaded files in the download manager window. I want to be able to drag and drop directly from that window into a folder of my choosing. (I used to be able to do this, but apparently I messed that up...)
I have tried the suggestions that could easily be found, including setting Firefox to remember all history in the Privacy tab of Options.
I also deleted the mimeTypes.rdf file to "reset" the browser defaults, but to no avail.
Any ideas/help?
Thanks.

By the way, a few other things you probably know:
(1) The setting to keep the downloads list displayed after a download is here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > General
Check "Show the Downloads window..." and ''uncheck'' "Close it..."
(2) You can always show the list by pressing Ctrl+j
The mimeTypes.rdf file isn't particularly relevant to this problem; it affects what application Firefox uses to open a particular type of file.
However, there is a database file which stores your download history which might be corrupted. You could rename that file and have Firefox start building a new one.
(1) Open your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder
Help (or Alt+h) > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
(2) Switch back to Firefox and exit the program (e.g., File > Exit)
(3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your settings folder, then rename '''downloads.sqlite''' to something else, like downloads.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
(4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
Any improvement?

    Hello Louise,
    There are a couple of ways that you can download your apps to iTunes on your computer. 
    First, you can transfer your purchases to from your iPhone to your computer using the steps in this article:

  • How can I make Spotlight show the file path

    How can I make Spotlight show the file path in the Spotlight menu for selected file?

    Via Finder certainly, but not in the menu.  You can view the file path in the Spotlight search results display by pressing the ⌘ key (while hovering over a file in the results), though.  The path will display at the bottom of the Quick Look output, or cycle through that location.

  • How do I remove unwanted entries in the Profile Manager window?

    Can anyone please explain how do you remove irrelevant entries in the Profile Manager dialog? Since I have both 4.0 and 3.6 installed,each with two profiles,I use to launch secondary profiles with the Profile Manager via a command line instead of a specific shortcut,and the dialog window always shows all four options,regardless of what path I enter : is it possible to clean up the dialog window,so that only the 4.0 profiles are displayed when entering the path to 4.0 profiles,and so on for 3.6,without actually risking to delete any profiles? BTW,4.0 profile folders are stored in a different directory than 3.6,and the 3.6 profiles were accessed with the Profile Manager window (no shortcuts to specific profiles at the time) before installing 4.0

    The Profile Manager is for all versions of Firefox you have installed - every Profile that is listed in the '''profiles.ini''' file will appear there. The location of the Profile folders has no effect on what the Profile Manager dialog window shows. There is no way to set it up relative to one program installation.
    Best thing to do is to have separate desktop shortcuts for each Profile / Firefox-version you want to use.

  • My download manager window opens, displays the dowloading file and then goes blank. I have to do a search of my drives to find it. I'm using Win 7 Ultimate 64

    A couple of months back, I upgraded both my computers to Win7 Ultimate 64. At the time, I upgraded Firefox as well. The other computer works fine. This one however, is giving me a problem with the download manager. The window opens and shows the file being downloaded but as soon as the download is complete, the DL Manager window goes blank. I have no idea if the antivirus has time to check the file or not. I also have to do a system search to find the file. I also have no option to open the file or folder from the DL Manager window. This isn't a serious problem but it is very quickly beginning to irritate me. Any suggestions????

    Make sure that you are using the '''"Remember History"''' setting as described in this article -> [[Options window - Privacy panel]]
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Show the custom popup window on clicking the people name in sharepoint people search result

    Show the custom popup window on clicking the people name in sharepoint people search result
    We are doing the below code to open a popup but while clicking on name link its postback the page and not opening the popup in first click but opening in second click.The same issue occurs while navigate to second page using pagination
    The below code used to show name in item template
    <button id="NameFieldLink" class="temp" style="font-size: 12px;text-decoration:none;color:#0072c6;border:0px solid #fff;background:transparent;margin-left: 1px;height: 15px;padding: 0 10px 17px 0px;text-align: left;cursor:pointer;font-family:

    The below jquery code used to open popup in control search template
    ctx.OnPostRender = []; 
    ctx.OnPostRender.push(function () {
    $(".temp").on("click", function(event)
    event.preventDefault();
    $('#fadeout').show();
    $('#pop1').find('.tab-content-people').html($(this).closest('.emp-card').find('.pop-content').html());
    $('#pop1').show();
    return false;

    I believe the issue is that you are not actually searching against the result source you made in step #1.
    It's not enough to make a result source, you have to tell the search results web part to use it.
    Try this:
    1. Go to the Pages library of Search Center
    2. Create a new Search Results page
    3. Edit the page, then edit the search results web part
    4. Change the source for the search results web part to your source
    5. Add the page to your Search Center navigation
    6. Run the search on that page

  • ITunes gets unresponsive when I click on Podcast tab in the device management window.

    Hello,
    I run the iTunes 11.1 on MacOX 10.8.5.
    iTunes gets unresponsive each time I click on Podcast tab in the device management window. (when my iPhone5 is connected, running iOS7)
    There was no bug before I upgrade iTunes and iOS.
    Is this a know bug?
    What Can I do?
    Will this be fixed in a next update?
    There is another bug, which may be related to the first one:
    before, in the podcast tab of my iphone management window, I chose to sync a smart playlist. Before the upgrade, the sync worked fine.
    But now, the sync seems OK on iTunes (the playlist is well displaied in my iPhone section), but I need to shutdown/restart my iPhone to get it updated on it. Othewise, I still see its content as it was before the sync.
    Please notice that this playlist contains only podcasts.
    Thanks a lot for any help.

  • How to present content without showing the item in left nav bar?

    Here's the scenario -
    I have a single role.  A user logs in and gets their content accordingly.  The default content in the main display area is whatever the first item in the role is (e.g. IView A).  Under that are various folders, iviews, etc.
    How can I make the content from IView A appear, but not actually show the title of IView A in the left hand nav bar?

    Here is what you can do (left navigation is called detailed navigation)
           1.      From the Page Content List of the Default Framework Page, select Desktop Innerpage and click Open.
           2.      From the Page Content List of the Desktop Innerpage select the Detailed Navigation iView and click Properties.
           3.      Scroll to the Start at Level property and assign a value that is one higher than the value of the Number of Display Levels property in procedure l. Configure Top-Level Navigation. For example, if top-level navigation is configured for one level, the detailed navigation begins on the second level, that is with the value 2.
           4.      Click Save.
    Detailed navigation is not automatically synchronized with top-level navigation; the values you enter for top-level and detailed navigation must agree. For example, if you enter the value 1 for top-level navigation, while detailed navigation still has the value 3, one level is left out, creating a gap.

  • How to make buttons enabled after the data is entered in JTextField?

    I got a JTextField. I want to test the entered data in JTextField is eight length. If the data is of length eight then i want to enable two buttons. How to make it enable? I am getting the length eight, but the buttons are not enable. What listeners I have to use.
    Can anybody help me out.
    Thanks for your help in advanced.

    Create a class that extends KeyAdapter. Add a field that is an array of buttons. Override the keyTyped(KeyEvent e) method to use getSource() to access the text area, check the length of the text, and if > 8, go through the array and enable the buttons in the array. Then, when you create the text area, create an instance of your listener, passing it an array of the two buttons you want to enable, and then use addKeyListener(yourKeyListener) to add your key listener to the text area.
