How do I set mozilla fire fox to down load to a differnt drive

I have just updated my computer using 2 ssd drives. The operating system is on C: drive, and I want all downloads to go to E Drive. How can I set my down loads to go to E Drive please.
i3 cpu, 16gb ram Gigabyte motherboard, 2x ssd 120gb and 240gb Mozilla v26
Many Thanks - azzab94-old

hello azzab94-old, there's a general regression in firefox 27 that won't allow files to download directly into a root drive. please try to create a subfolder (like ''E:\Downloads'') and set this as default location for downloads...

  • How do I stop Fire fox from down loading adds about fat women and up dates

    I use Windows 7 the browser Internet Explorer is troublesome with banking programs, so I changed to Fire Fox BUT there are too many add on's, you never know what it is going to do next one minute it giving out security messages, the next it is using popups to advertise weight reduction and trying to get me to up date something to play music .
    I don't want all that shite, I remember years ago I used Mozilla but it made such a big deal out of everything I got rid of it, is there a version I could buy just so I don't have to put up with that rubbish of jiggling adds?
    I do not want flashy, look at me sort of software, I want soft ware that is a quiet achiever , just do the job and wait till you ask for help then dangle your adds.
    I f you can't suggest a remedy then it's going , the way of the DODO never to return .
    And I don't want some " piss in your pocket excuse" fix it or delete
    And when I do try to change it and ask for support I get answers like "Firefox prevented this site ( support.mozilla.org) from asking you to install software on your computer"
    Then when you press ok I get "The add on could not be downloaded because a connection failure on support.mozilla.org"
    I have tried the manual steps but there is no Trobleshooting information on this page , there is no help on this page.
    I think you guys are on another planet or you smoke too much weed, I fact I might delete it now and not wait for you to come out of the basement with an answer and i see at he bottom you already have educated guesses as to what is wrong, I know what is wrong, "too many add on stuff" you must have a line in the software that goes something like " when in doubt put another pop up in goto line 7 put another popup in.

  • IAM LOSTED MY MOZILLA FIRE FOX PAGE BY ASK, HOW CAN I GET IT BACK

    At the time of down loading some thing i losted my Mozilla fire fox page by Ask,I tried a lot . How can i get it back?

    Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Followed by;
    Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
    Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
    Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
    Then '''General.'''
    There are two settings;
    * '''When Firefox Starts'''
    When the browser is started, what do you want to
    display. Many of us choose '''Show My Home Page.'''
    * '''Home Page'''
    When a new page is opened, what do you want displayed.
    # '''Use Current Page'''. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
    # '''Use Bookmark'''
    # '''Restore To Default.''' about:home shows a Mozilla page with tools.
    You can use any of these that you wish;
    '''about:home''' (Firefox default home page),
    '''about:newtab''' (shows the sites most visited),
    '''about:blank''' (a blank page),
    or you can enter any '''web page''' or '''about: ''page''''' you want.

  • Mozilla Fire Fox 4, Bookmark Toolbar, how to get it to work?

    Mozilla Fire Fox 4, Bookmark Toolbar, how to get it to work?

    Hi,
    the bookmarks toolbar is blank, it can be turned on or off, but the bookmarks, which are in the toolbar folder when I view all my bookmarks, don't appear in the toolbar. This is when using windows xp. When using windows 7 at home, it works fine. thanks.

  • I tried to download adobe flash progam but before I can not finish the dowload I am asked to close mozilla fire fox. How do I close fire fox? How do I close this program so I can down load adobe flash drive.

    the download get to 50% AND THEN TELLS ME TO CLOSE MOZILLA Fire fox. I need help to close this progam so I can finish the download.

    There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
    1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />
    See this: <br />

  • Can NOT get mozilla fire fox browser to close

    I am changing over to Google Chrome and I went into my control Panel to delete Mozilla Fire Fox Browser and it Says that I must close the browser first. I HAVE IT CLOSED . I am trying to change browsers because My Adobe Flash Player CRASHED and I can NOT update the new plug-in because it gets 50% loaded and it stops and asks me to close Mozilla Fire Fox first . BUT the browser is NOT even OPEN... I am Logged into Google Chrome trying to update my Adobe Flash Player and IT SAYS please close Mozilla Fire FOX .. So I went into CONTROL PANEL and I can NOT even remove the browser!!!! Someone please HELP...How is it That this browser is running YET i do NOT even have it OPEN??????

    Well, I can try to do one of several things here:
    1. Help you fix Firefox and update your adobe flash.
    or
    2. Help you uninstall Firefox.
    Let's do #1 first.
    * Open the task manager (it appears you are actually using Windows XP?). Just use Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
    * Now go to the processes tab, and find "firefox.exe" (without the quotes), Select it, then click "End Process".
    * Or, if you want to, just restart your PC (this should always fix the problem of Firefox saying it's open when it isn't)
    * Download Adobe Flash from [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin_32bit.exe here]. Run it.
    * Start Firefox back up. It seems that the most likely reason for you having firefox.exe hang at shutdown is a bad extension, so you can try [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to diagnose if you have more problems.
    Ok, to just uninstall Firefox, let's do this:
    * Open the task manager (it appears you are actually using Windows XP?). Just use Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
    * Now go to the processes tab, and find "firefox.exe" (without the quotes), Select it, then click "End Process".
    * Or, if you want to, just restart your PC

  • Will Mozilla fire fox be available in the App Store any time soon ?

    Will the app Mozilla fire fox be available in the App Store so we can open flash player required pages ?

    No one here can say really, only Mozzilla themselves if and when they give in to Apple's requirements, or Apple gives in to their demand of using their web engine rather than Apple's.  
    With that said, the Flash problem is not the browser its the lack of a Mobile version of Flash for iOS. Even with FF you would not be able to open flash sites.
    There are however other browsers with varying support for Flash processing that you can use to open flash content.
    Look for Puffin, Skyfire, Photon etc...
    Most of these process the requested flash content at their servers and feed it back to the device in a format that the iPad can understand, which slows performance a bit.

  • Should I use Mozilla Fire Fox?

    I recently got an iMac. I was wondering if I should go and download Mozilla Fire Fox or stick with Safari. Thanks!

    Unfortunately, many web developers use a specific browser to "check" their coding. All this tells them is their code works with that particular browser -- and in the case of IE, that's not saying much. What they should be doing instead is coding to accepted standards (like w3.org) to ensure their code is generally compliant. So the bottom line is that no browser (on any operating system) can handle all of the poorly coded sites out there, and it's not really the fault of the browser.
    So what's a user to do? Keep an updated backup browser (or two) installed. I love Safari, and that's my primary browser. But when there's a problem, I launch Opera or Camino.
    Another tip is to make sure you have up-to-date versions of common plugins. Two essentials are Flash and flip4mac.

  • I have the Cruzer Titanium 8GB U3 Smart. Fire-Fox Will not load.

    I have the Sandisk, Fire fox Browser will not load. Do you not support it any more. If you do, or not how would I go about rein-stalling Fire-Fox? Could you help me with this matter?

  • Fire Fox WILL NOT LOAD Gmail, even after folling ALL the steps in HELP, but it loaded it yesterday and NOTHING has been changed!

    I was using Fire Fox and I got the message "Fire Fox is not Responding". I tried waiting for it but after 20 minutes I closed it down. When I opened it up again and tried to use my Gmail bookmark but all I get is a message telling me that "The page isn't redirecting properly! Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies." This makes "No Sense at All" because I have used this bookmark Hundreds of times! I have tried to call up Google and try to go to Gmail from there but get Exactly the Same Message! I can go to Facebook using my bookmark but none of the games will load! I can get to Gmail using IE9, but when I try to go to Facebook it starts loading but NEVER Finishes! I just had to "restore my computer to factory Specs" a couple weeks ago but have used it without problem until 09/23/2012. Over the past 6 months I have Gotten the "Fire Fox is not Responding" Error HUNDREDS of times and cannot figure out why you would release a product that is NOT COMPATIBLE with ANYTHING on Earth! Please Fix Fire Fox before you lose ALL your Customers!

  • Why do I keep getting an error code, this is embarassing, Fire fox can't load the last page. And when you to try do anything it freezes. It has the newest version.

    When I open a new page, I get this the error mentioned above. Stating This is embarassing, Fire fox, can't open your last session. When I try to do anything it then freezes.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do I set up Time Machine to backup to an external hard drive on my wireless router?

    I have just set up an external hard drive to my wireless router and am now wanting to set up Time Machine to back up to the hard drive.  I can see the hard drive in Finder and can even send files to it manually.  I just don't see in setting up Time Machine any option to backup to that hard drive.  Is it even possible?

    Well, I figured out a way around it that works for me but may not be suitable for everyone.  Instead of connecting the external hard drive to the router I tried connecting it directly to my computer.  I then right-clicked the hard drive's folder on my desktop, clicked "Get Info" and checked the box that says "Shared Folder".  I then went to the bottom of that window and under "Sharing & Permissions" and next to "Everyone" checked that they could all "Read and Write".
    The hard drive is now shared over my network, so when I got on one of my other Mac's that I was wanting to set up Time Machine with, the Time Machine Application had no problem finding the hard drive and backing up to it.
    I have all computer's setup for file sharing too, so that may need to be checked as well.
    This was a simple enough fix but the reason I said that it may not be suitable for everyone is that the other computer's backing up to this hard drive via Time Machine is now reliant on my computer being turned on.  I'm okay with that though.
