How do I uninstall the download manager in Firefox

How do I uninstall the download manager in Firefox - all versions

What download manager?
If you are talking about the built-in download manager it can not be uninstalled, if it is a third party download manager, check the Firefox add-ons manager or the Windows Control panel add/remove programs to see if it is listed in either of those locations.

  • How do I uninstall the Application Manager?

    After a difficult installation of Creative Cloud, my Windows 7 64-bit Desktop freezes after a period of time ranging from minutes to hours.  Desktop icons won’t launch, and context menus won’t display.  Quick Launch icons still work OK.
    I asked a computer guru with a broad range of knowledge about this. He says he’s seen this before, and it involves processes running in the background.  He recommends using the Adobe cleaner tool to remove the Application Manager.  Yesterday I found a post on where to get it and how to use it, but today, I can’t find it.
    So my question is, “Where do I get the cleaner tool and how do I use it to remove just the Application Manager?”

    Cwcsdc are you saying that you are experiencing slow performance over multiple Adobe Creative applications?  You can find information on the cleaner tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.  You may want to consider though posting to a couple of the specific product forums if you are experiencing performance issues however.  The CS Cleaner Tool is more likely to help when an install has failed and the Creative application is unable to even open.

  • How can I uninstall the SearchFly toolbar from Firefox?

    Somehow SearchFly Toolbar got installed on my Firefox and I have tried everything to remove it but it doesn't go away. It is not in the add/remove programs list. I have tried AdWare removal but nothing seems to work.

    Have you tried to uninstall it via Firefox Add-on manager?
    1: Open the 'Firefox' menu.
    2: Click on 'Add-ons'.
    3: Find the SearchFly Toolbar (in 'Extentions').
    4: Click on 'Disable' or 'Remove'.
    Else try the more advanced way - uninstalling manually:
    1: Open the file explorer.
    2: Navigate to your main hard drive ('Local Disk' C: on Windows).
    3: Find the program installment folder. There could be two.
    4: Explore all installment folders.
    5: If/when you find a folder named 'SearchFly' or 'SearchFly Toolbar', open it, and search for a file named 'Uninstall' (.exe),
    6: If found, open it and follow the on-screen instructions. Else delete the folder.
    '''BE CAREFUL: Only delete the SearchFly folder.
    TIP: Remember to close Firefox and other browsers that use SearchFly.'''

  • How to configuring the download manager

    RE: Firefox v22.0 | Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon v1.8 (32bit)
    How can I configure the download manager to intercept "EVERYTHING" regarding the updates to the addons and plugins? I want to intercept everything and determine myself where I want the stuff to be saved. As for the addons/plugins (generally ".xpi"), I want to save them to a specific location and then I can install them into Firefox after the download(s) is/are complete. I already have the option "Always ask me where to save files" selected but any addons/plugins that are added or updated are not affected by this selected option. Instead, they are updated/added ... more or less ... with my saving them to a specific location other than in Firefox.

    Firefox will not detect .xpi (addons/extentions) using the Firefox download manager to save the .xpi's. Instead Firefox is downloading the .xpi and then asking to install them or not. I already have the option "always ask where to save files" checked. As for downloading manually, nope! If using FIrefox browser, you cannot download manually and expect to save them to a different location. It appears that, at present, I will either accept the current download manager (Firefox) as is or will have to use a 3rd party download manager; either application or addon. I am looking at the Firefox addon "Download Them All (dTa)" to use for a download manager and thus bypassing the Firefox default download manager. Anyway, thanks for the responses.

  • 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?

  • I can not download any files, i think i by misstake put the download manager in the trash and then deleted it, what should i do? I am not so shore what the program is called in English( in Swedish:filhämtare) but it looks like a little grey box

    Hi, i really need help... I think i by accident deleted the "download manager" i´m not shore what the program is called in English ( Swedish : filhämtaren), but its symbol looks like a grey little box and when you download a file it appears on a list and is then saved in this program. I don`t know how i didn´t see it in the trash, but somehow i deleted this program by mistake. And as a consequence i can no longer open/download any files. I just got my macbook pro and i do love the system but i am now unsure about what i should do with this problem since i am not that terribly good with computers.... Is there any way you can fix this?

    If it looks like this:
    It's called an "installer.app"
    You can custom install the "installer.app" directly from your System DVD that originally came w/your computer.  It will be either inside the "Bundled Software" folder or inside the "Applications" folder.

  • Is there any way to resume downloading part files if the download manager says itts complete, but the size of the file is 350 bytes?

    I have been trying to download the trail for Adobe Master Collection CS5. I had to restart the download several times due to an issue with the download manager. Recently i got to about 2.5 GB out of 4.5, and firefox crashed and I could not resume the downloa0d. I have a part file at the directory, but its only 759MB. Any help on how to resume?

    I dont really see the reason to try to restart the download if this problem is gonna occur all the time...

  • 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.

  • How do you open the downloads that have been saved? I can make it to the download list but it will not let me open any of them.

    When I open an email with an attachment, it downloads the attachment and saves it to my downloads. At a later time, I return to the download list and try to open it and it will not allow me to open them. How do I open my saved downloads?

    If the Open or Open Containing Folder entry in the right-click context menu of a file in the Download Manager is grayed then that means that the file is no longer in that original download location. It may have been removed by cleanup software or anti-virus software if you haven't deleted the files yourself.

  • How can I hide the downloads window?

    Hi,
    When I download a file the downloads window opens on top of the page I'm viewing. I have to then close it or move it to carry on working on that page. I then go to save another file off the page and the downloads window opens up over the page again. This is flippin' annoying when you're researching and downloading a number of documents off hte same page.
    How can I stop the downloads window opening on top when I download files?
    Any advice much appreciated :-)
    Many thanks!
    Evan

    There is a way, but it may not be supported for ever... If you want the old download manager back, go to about:config, click the I'll be careful, I promise! button. Then search for "download", and set the browser.download.useToolkitUI preference to true (double-click it).

  • When I try to update Firefox it repeatedly says Firefox must be closed to proceed with install. I even get the same message when I try to uninstall the existing version of firefox. How do I close Firefox???

    When I try to update Firefox it repeatedly says Firefox must be closed to proceed with install even tho Firefox is closed. I get the same message when I try to uninstall the existing version of Firefox. How do I close Firefox??? The same thing happens when I try to update other programs. When a program is off what else do I have to do to turn it off??

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or have other problems with updating to update then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • I have Lotus Traveler installed on my S5. It's having problems and I want to uninstall it but I'm unable to. How can I uninstall the program?

    I have Lotus Traveler installed on my S5. It's having problems and I want to uninstall it but I'm unable to. How can I uninstall the program?

    Are you unable to uninstall it from the app manager in the main settings menu?  How about long pressing the app in the app drawer and dragging up to the notification bar?  Does the app have a phone admin property checked in Settings-Security-Phone administrators?  Sometimes, if it does, apps will not uninstall until unchecked.

  • How do i uninstall the last system update to fonts?

    how do i uninstall the last system update? 
    It altered my helvetica font in a way that will cost me hundreds of hours re-kerning / resizing / repositioning text in  CAD files for at least 10 large scale projects in progress at my architecture office.
    This is an extremely serious & very expensive issue that has to be affecting all architecture firms who use macs the same way as it's affecting me & my business.

    Apple does not support a downgrade. You can download OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) and give it a try.
