How do I stop a page downloading if I don't like it ?

it only started after latest update.
Desktop pc, win xp, firefox 32.0

in a previous version of firefox there was a means of stopping a long page downloading ( say it had video content ) if it turned out to be not what I wanted.
I can't find the stop button in the latest version, I am on a broadband limit, so this is why I want to stop it downloading.
Thanking you all for your help in advance

    Hi iprover,
      Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
    Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
    This is what I gather.
    iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
    This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
    My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
    That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
    All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

  • I preordered an album in error that is scheduled to download next week.  How do I stop it from downloading?  I no longer want to purchase it.

    I preordered an album in error that is scheduled to download next week.  How do I stop it from downloading?  I no longer want to purchase it.

    Downloading a pre-ordered item
    When a pre-order item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know your pre-order is available for download.
    If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloads to begin downloading your pre-order.
    I would contact iTunes if clicking on the link did not results in it downloading to your iPod.

    Hi michael emerald,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you would like to download your purchased content directly to your iPad and not have to go through iTunes to sync it. You can download individual purchases directly from the iPad using the Purchased section. Please use the attached article as a reference.

  • HT1222 How do you stop a ios7 download?

    How do you stop a ios7 download?

    I found this hint that you might find useful:
    Click & hold on the Dock icon and you should see a pause option.
    Mac Apple Store->Purchases should show the DL status and give you an option to pause it.
    Finally, if it finishes DLing and starts the installer, just quit it. You have to actively choose to run the installer once it downloads to your /Applicatiions folder.
    I hope you'll post the results of the fix on this thread!

    PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4.  How do I get my old fonts back?  Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts.  Dell Precision, Windows 7.  Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own?  If so, where are they in the directory?  A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program.  Please help.  If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them?  Thanks.

    All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS.  Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
    I don't do windows myself.

  • How do I stop iTunes from downloading multiple copies of a TV show?

    This is driving me nuts.  Using Doctor Who as the example, for each episode released, iTunes tries to download two HD copies and one SD copy.  I don't need the SD, nor do I need to duplicate HD.  Yet I can't stop it from trying to download them when I start iTunes, nor can I figure out how to permanently remove or cancel a pending download.
    Anyone have any idea how to stop this?
    -- edit ---
    Didn't have much luck matching search terms for this before posting, yet after posting links came up referencing other queries in which people asked how to stop iTunes from downloading the HD and SD versions of a TV show.  Consensus seems to be that iTunes will always download each version, which is just plain silly.  Haven't seen any explaination, however, on why it then tries to download a second HD copy.

    That is correct.  This is the way it is ALL HD purchases come with the SD version.

  • How do I stop duplicates from downloading?

    My iTunes library on my Mac is syncing transfers from my iPad and for some reason after the sync, my Mac started downloading some of those purchases from iTunes automatically. What gives? Do I have to download them in order to delete the duplicates or can I stop them from downloading? How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

    You can't stop the download, only pause it. Let it finish.
