How do I reset how I want to view a download? Firefox is now immediately downloading PDFs without asking me my preference.

I have been using Firefox and it used to ask me if I wanted to save a download or open it. Now, when it is a PDF it automatically downloads. I don't need all of these downloads on my computer. When I go to Options, I have checked the box that says "Always Ask Me Where to Save Files". I only want to open downloads, not save them.

  • How do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes. Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking

    how do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes.
    Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking. I have snow leopard. I was happy. Just before Christmas as if I havent got enough to do Thank You. I've given Apple loads of money this year--presents and all, the least they could do is tell me, they're going to take stuff off of My computer that I enjoy,/ find very useful/ and worked hard to update all my album covers and have a gallery of my own artwork for my mixes--it was beautiful. When I went to add some more, the facility had been taken away from me. Was so dissapointed. They send me emails all the time to buy the latest must have products. I even did a questionair to help them. They really care for their customers--right. So why couldnt they warn me about this update, its only polite.
    If I bought a warm coat some years ago, then the manufatures came round without my knowledge and cut off the left arm, and later told me, their reserch says that people dont use the left arm so much so they have to get rid of it. 1. I think that would be illegal. 2. its impolite not to ask if they could do it. 3. why not give me an options to keep it, seeing as i bought it. 4. its ludicrous.
    I trusted Apple-but then -they took my YouTube off my ipad. I cant update to newer software as I will lose some expensive programms (Im not made of money). I also have 2 oldish defunct but fully working laser printers (if they were compatible with new software).
    Im not a techky-I just use the stuff, I do art and music and Cover Flow was equipement I used.
    I want to get rid of itunes 11, anyhelp out there

    click the blue download button...

  • I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
    Get what denoted in what properties link.
    You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
    and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
    I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

  • HT1338 I bought mini Mac online and I do not have password how do I reset because I want to update but can't without password

    How do I reset I bought it online and do not have password would like to update

    Your Apple Store password should be the same as your forum password.  If it isn't, try to get that info by calling the store for your country.

  • Firefox won't open on start screen or otherwise. How can I reset or fix otherwise if I cannot open firefox to get to the controls?

    running windows xp Firefox worked yesterday , I have not made any changes now it will not open at all. All of the troubleshooting requires me to be in firefox , if I cannot open how can I reset or do anything?

    Firefox doesn't give any error message, it just stalls or never shows up?
    If you haven't already, could you check the tips in this article: [[Firefox won't start - find solutions]].
    If you want to try starting Firefox in its Safe Mode, you can hold down the Shift key while double-clicking the Firefox icon. You should get a small dialog with the choices of Safe Mode and Reset. I suggest trying Safe Mode first.

  • Every time I try to view images with firefox it crashes, shuts down and then asks if I want to re-open, how do I view images again with firefox?

    Everytime I try to view images with firefox it crashes, submits a report, to which I've had no response yet, asks if I want to restart firefox with last session or start a new session. What is going on?

    It only happens if I try to use google images with firefox. I've now narrowed it down to an extension, AVG SafeSearch, doesn't happen if I disable this.

  • How do I go back a step in numbers when making a mistake - it seems to save without asking

    Imac user

    Hi Ger,
    it seems to save without asking
    Adding to the advice from T2YUKI, try this setting in System Preferences > General > Ask to keep changes when closing documents > tick that box.
    Save, Save, Save as you work (if you are happy with your changes).
    If you make too many mistakes, close the document and Numbers (or any app) will ask you if you want to Save the changes (since your last Save).
    Click on 'Don't Save'.
    Reopen from Menu > Open Recent to get back to your last satisfactory version.
    Regards,
    Ian.
    Edit: Reopen from Menu > File > Open Recent to get back to your last satisfactory version.

  • How can I reset my iTunes ID from an old email to my new email account ID without having to close the old iTunes account?

    I have 2 Apple IDs with an old iTunes ID and my newer Mac user ID.  How do I close out the old one that I used to set up my iTunes account several years ago without closing my iTunes account?
    Thank you!

    The Apple Store will do this for you.
    You can call Apple support and they will walk you through it.
    You can type "Move itunes library from pc to mac" into the google search bar.

  • Most times when I want to open a document, Firefox saves it in Downloads, rather than just letting me read it. How do I prevent this?

    In earlier versions of Firefox, I was able to open a document e.g. an email attachment or a document following a link in a website, and then decide if I wanted to save it or just read it. Now more often than not, it automatically saves it to Downloads, though not every time. The choices in Settings/General relate only to choosing which folder to save them in, and not to opt not to save at all. By way of example, I went to www.overseal.org, then chose Documents and Budget 2013-2014.
    This means that nothing appears to happen on screen, and to view the document, I have to go to Downloads, and subsequently delete it from there if I don't want to keep it. Can I change a setting somewhere to revert to previous practice please?

  • How do you reset the Apple ID to a new one for the automatic updates download tool?  It defaults to my old Apple ID, even though I have changed the Apple ID to the new one everywhere I can find.

    I have an original Apple ID from my personal iPhone and iPad.  I bought a MacBook Pro for business and the Apple Store clerk told me to use the old Apple ID to make setup faster and that I could change to a new one later.   So... I did all that and changed the Apple ID everywhere I can find a place to do so.  And everything seems okay, except the Automatic Updates download tool defaults back to my original Apple ID.  That old Apple ID is grayed out in the login, so I cannot seem to change it to download and update under my new, business-related Apple ID for my MacBook Pro.  What to do?

    Yes, absolutely, you can still use the old ID to update, etc., but I understood the OP to want to simply discard the old one and use only the new one. Maybe I misunderstood...
    And, actually just now re-reading the first post, it could be that the ID had only been associated with the iDevices, so if he established a new ID and associated that with the new MBP, I frankly have no idea if he can still use the old ID on that machine (based on him saying that the old ID is greyed out) - have not come up with this type of situation before.

  • How can I reset my security questions? When I go to the password and security section it asks for the answers to my security questions.

    I keep reading that you can reset your security questions by going to the "password and security tab" in you apple id account. When I do this, however, it first tells me to enter my answers to the security question to verify my idenity. It there another way to reset them?

    On your computer or safari on your iOS device navigate to:
              For Canada - https://appleid.apple.com/ca.
              For United States - https://appleid.apple.com/us/.
    Click the "Manage your Apple ID" button, and sign in to your iCloud account.  Once in, on the left side select "Password and Security", and this will populate our options on the right side.  You should see an option to reset your security questions. 
    Also see this article about your "rescue email address" - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312. 
    If for any reason you can not reset these security questions, or get an error, then you may need to contact Apple directly - http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57.   Explain the issue, and they can get your to a "Account Security" agent, who will be able to verify your identity, and assist in resetting the security questions.

  • Google has overtaken the mozilla webpage and I cannot view bookmarks etc how can I reset to allow me to view Mozilla webpage properly. I cannot even get to "tools" to make any changes

    I can't access the Mozilla webpage on my computer since a friend of mine made some changes. The Google page used take up half the page when I opened Mozilla but now it takes 7/8th of the page so much so I can not access "my book marks"; file, view and tools etc on the Mozilla web Page. I need help to return/restore Mozilla as it was before my friend removed all the tool bars etc.
    I can see 1/8 the of the web page behind the "Google" page; I've tried to put my curser at the sides, top and bottom of Google to reduce it to what it was but I'm unable to do so. I think if I could reduce it I could access my bookmarks etc.

    Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
    Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
    The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.
