How to keep firefox from constantly downloading mavericks,which it can'open?

I tried to update to mavericks,but am unable to open the files to install. From what I have read this is probably a good thing; however now firefox keeps on downloading the files and I can't seem to make it stop. Each time I open firefox the whole process starts again..

You should actually update to mavericks, it's a good solid update and plus, your version of Mac isn't getting security updates anymore, meaning it's vulnerable to attack (despite public opinion Mac isn't invulnerable).
This isn't really a Firefox question anyway..... You install Mavericks via the App store, not through Firefox. http://www.macworld.com/article/2056564/how-to-install-mavericks-over-leopard.html

  • How to keep Firefox from changing download designations

    Here's the problem with latest Firefoxes (15-17) as well as Palemoon:
    Create three folders on your desktop - name them A, B and C. Now open up Firefox. Go to webpages that have multiple images to download. Click open the images from the various webpages while holding down the Ctrl key.. You will now have multiple tabs of the various images. Now open each tab with an image, right click the image, save as a random name and make the download designation folder A. Do this for all tab images.
    Now go back to the first tab image, right click the image, save as a random name and make the download designation folder B. Continue doing this for remaining tab images. As soon as you attempt to download an image from a different webpage, Firefox will change the download designation to folder A.
    Typically when you set a download designation in a browser, the designation does not change unless you manually change it. Firefox will keep changing the download folder for each new webpage with images.
    Now do the same as the last paragraph but save the images to folder C. As soon as you get to an image from different webpage, Firefox will (I do not see why it is doing it) change the download folder to either A or B, but not C.

    You can clear the "Site Preferences" via Clear Recent History to remove already stored data.
    Note that clearing "Site Preferences" also clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
    You can delete the content-prefs.sqlite file in the Profile Folder to only remove settings stored in this file and keep the exceptions that are stored in permissions.sqlite.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • How to keep firefox from getting the cannot find server error

    I just recently fixed my computer from a nasty spyware problem that required me to manipulate some registry values. After solving the problem, firefox seems to work but only for a very limited time before I'm unable to load any pages. I then close firefox and reopen to find out that it can no longer find the server and have to constantly restart my computer in order to have access to the internet again. However the access to firefox still only lasts for a limited time before I have to restart again. I'm sure this isn't a connection issue because everyone else in the house has no problems.

    Nope.
    If you launch Mail, you get mail.
    You can only stop if from loading if your DON'T launch Mail.
    You can also decide how much to have it load, and how far back.
    The other option is to turn off Wifi before you launch Mail.

  • How to keep Touch from getting mail each time Mail is opened?

    Hello,
    Is there a way to open Mail on an iTouch without it automatically downloading whatever is on the mail server?
    In my Mac computer's Mail application, there has always been an option how often, or not, to download mail from the server, but I can't find any similar option within the Touch.
    I would like to open Mail on the Touch simply to send an email, without it automatically downloading whatever is on my mail server.
    Thank you,
    Neil

  • How do I keep Firefox from saving bank account data?

    How do I keep Firefox from saving bank account data? I'm running Win7 64-bit. I can't seem to keep Firefox from saving bank account data.

    Also, could you clarify what you mean by "saving bank account data"? Here are some places that Firefox may save data you have viewed:
    ''Firefox's cache:'' Generally speaking, Firefox will cache pages you have viewed so you can go Back to them unless the server instructs Firefox not to store them, or designs the page to reload and check to make sure you are still logged in.
    ''Session history:'' Firefox saves information about your session for purposes of redisplaying your open windows and tabs (and recently closed windows and tabs) in the event of a crash. If you want to restrict what Firefox saves, there might be some settings you can modify, but it depends on your concerns.
    ''Form autofill:'' If you have the form fill feature enabled, Firefox will remember data you enter into forms (usually excluding passwords). This can be turned off, or completely cleared, but there isn't a convenient way to remove just some of the data without an add-on. For example: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/form-history-control/

    You can upgrade to Mavericks free, just run the App Store program and search for Mavericks. But before you do upgrade I recommend the following:
    1) make sure you have a recent backup. TimeMachine is fine.
    2) Mavericks is somewhat more memory hungry than 10.7 was. You will need 4 GB of RAM and I strongly recommend 8 GB.
    Go back to the Apple menu and select About this Mac - look under the OS info you just looked at. You'll see how much RAM your computer has now. Then click on the More Info button. There you will see your computer info listed as in: iMac, 21.5" mid 2010, for example. Return back with that information and we can tell you how far the computer can be upgraded.
    If you decide to procede and you have enough RAM upgrading to Mavericks is quite simple. Click on the download button and let it do its job.

    Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

    That can be a problem with the compatibility.ini file in the Firefox profile folder.
    Try to rename (or delete) the compatibility.ini file in the Firefox profile folder to see if that helps.

  • How to load data from a  flat file which is there in the application server

    HI All,
              how to load data from a  flat file which is there in the application server..

    Hi,
    Firstly you will need to place the file(s) in the AL11 path. Then in your infopackage in "Extraction" tab you need to select "Application Server" option. Then you need to specify the path as well as the exact file you want to load by using the browsing button.
    If your file name keeps changing on a daily basis i.e. name_ddmmyyyy.csv, then in the Extraction tab you have the option to write an ABAP routine that generates the file name. Here you will need to append sy-datum to "name" and then append ".csv" to generate complete filename.
    Please let me know if this is helpful or if you need any more inputs.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Nishant Tatkar.
