How to stop Firefox deleting active downloads when the 'del' key is pressed?

I tend to remove old downloads from the download manager by pressing the 'del' key. Before the update to the new download manager, Firefox would not delete downloads when the 'del' key was pressed, *if* it was still downloading. This is no longer the case, and you can now accidentally remove downloads that are still downloading if the 'del' key is pressed.
Is there a way to prevent Firefox from removing active downloads when the 'del' key is pressed?

'''<Control> J''' to open the download manager. At the upper right is a button;
'''Clear Downloads.''' This will remove completed downloads only.

  • How to stop photo stream uploading/downloading in the background

    Does anyone know how to stop the iphoto upload/download as my broadband gets killed everytime I add photos to my mac.
    Let me explain that I have a 6-8 MB down link but my uplink is only 0.2Mb really slow.  So when I quit iphoto I can't play any online games for ages as Photostream is taking up my complete band width.  Mainly due to the fact that it is also downloading the photos to my iPad and my wifes iPhone I just imported the photos off those two devices but photostream wants to put a second copy on the device. argh
    please give me better control I want to upload the photos (shared library) to photostream but only when the iPhoto app is open so I have the choice of when my bandwidth is used. either that or make the upload only happen with the device is switch off / not used so if I open a network game the bandwidth is freed until the game is closed.
    thanks

  • How can I stop a sound from looping so it plays only once each time the up key is pressed?

    Hi there here is my code, the basis is it is playing a mp3 from my library.
    Basically as the topic suggests I only want the sound to play once each time the UP arrow key is pressed. At the moment when you hold the up arrow down the sound keeps triggering and looping and gets really loud and noisy.
    Here is my code for my game:
    package com.chasegame.components
              import flash.display.MovieClip;
              import flash.display.Stage;
              import flash.events.Event;
              import com.tech.utils.KeyObject;
              import flash.ui.Keyboard;
              import flash.media.Sound;
              import flash.media.SoundChannel;
              public class SpaceShip extends MovieClip
                        private var key:KeyObject;
                        private var speed:Number = 0.3;
                        private var rotateSpeed:Number = 5;
                        private var vx:Number = 0;
                        private var vy:Number = 0;
                        private var friction:Number = 0.95;
                        private var shipSound:roar = new roar();
                        private var shipSoundChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
                        public function SpaceShip () : void
                                            key = new KeyObject(stage);
                                            addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop, false, 0, true);
                        public function loop(e:Event) : void
                                            if (key.isDown(Keyboard.UP))
                                                           vy += Math.sin(degreesToRadians(rotation)) * speed;
                                                           vx += Math.cos(degreesToRadians(rotation)) * speed;
                                                           shipSoundChannel = shipSound.play();
                             else
                                                           vy *= friction;
                                                           vx *= friction;
                                  if (key.isDown(Keyboard.RIGHT))
                                            rotation += rotateSpeed;
                                  else if (key.isDown(Keyboard.LEFT))
                                            rotation -= rotateSpeed;
                                  y += vy;
                                  x += vx;
                                  if (x > stage.stageWidth)
                                            x = 0;
                                  else if (x < 0)
                                            x = stage.stageWidth;
                                  if (y > stage.stageHeight)
                                            y = 0;
                                  else if (y < 0)
                                            y = stage.stageHeight;
                        public function degreesToRadians(degrees:Number) : Number
                                  return degrees * Math.PI / 180;

    If you want the sound to only play once when the key is pressed then you don't want to have it in the ENTER_FRAME event handler like you have it.  It is starting new sounds at the frame rate of your file the way you have it now.
    Try having an event listener dedicated to a KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN event where you detect when the UP key gets pressed and use that to trigger playing the sound.

  • How to stop firefox from deleting files when history is cleared?

    I cleared my History and firefox deleted my downloaded files from internal memory where it was stored,
    is there any way to prevent deleting files when clearing history?
    Thanks in advance for support

    Hello ''Saurabh,
    Firefox won't remove Downloaded files from your computer while clearing History. If Browsing & Download History is checked/selected ( '''''Firefox''''' >> '''''History''''' >> '''''Clear Recent History''''', click on the down arrow on the left of Details ) in History, Firefox will clear the file names from '''''Downloads''''' page. But it won't remove files from your computer's Hard Disk. If you want to locate the Firefox Download Directory,
    # At the top of the '''''Firefox''''' window, click on the Firefox button and then select '''''Options'''''.
    # Select the '''''General '''''panel.
    Under Downloads, on the right of '''''Save files to''''' option, you can find the Downloads Directory for Firefox. If you click on the '''''Browse..''''' button, it will take you to that folder/directory and there you can find your downloaded files.
    If you don't wish to clear Download History while clearing Firefox History, you can disable it :
    '''''Firefox''''' >> '''''History''''' >> '''''Clear Recent History''''', click on the down arrow on the left of Details and uncheck '''''Browsing & Download History'''''.

    How to stop Firefox from checking for add-on compatibility every time it opens?

    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.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

    You can also check for problems with preferences.
    Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    It sounds as though you are sharing and iCloud account with someone else, you need to have a separate iCloud account, otherwise there is no way of stopping other sharers from accessing your photos in photo stream.

    This was strange but has to do with how startup disk and nvram interact
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1795765
    I think your problems were solvable and not that the Sonnet card and 5,1 is not bootable, in fact the 5,1 is easier, there are more supported cards.
    I have the 1,1 where the Sonnet Pro is recommended but for data only and are not bootable because of the 32-bit EFI firmware. NOT the 4,1 and 5,1. The 2008's are problem child and have a mix of PCIe 1.1 slots, first implementation of EFI64 that also has problems. Also the 4,1 has two PCIe 2.x slots 3 and 4 that share a controller but that simply limits bandwidth.
    I would have left the TRIM support and NVRAM changes in Yosemite to a separate thread if you wanted to focus on the Sonnet Tempo Pro support in Mac Pro 2010-12 5,1s.
    Also the make of SSD can vary and they also have their own firmware as do bootable controllers along with the EFI of the Mac, all of which have to work together.  Meaning it might be that Samsung 840 va 840 EVO vs 840 Pro will all be slightly different but my experience is Samsungs work well (as do others like Crucial with the proper firmware - and there was/is an issue with the firmware of the Samsung 840 but not with booting).
    The PCIe card gets seen and treated as external and therefore 'eject' but of course you can't when it is the system boot drive.
    One thing I found last week and meant to mention:  After installing or changing PCIe cards, RESET SMC made all the difference in the world with the long boot delay. Some PCIe cards will add a few seconds, system has to search the device tree which now shows another controller with multiple devices - and sometimes NVRAM and SMC are what I will call "dirty" and need to be rebuilt and reset.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.
