I am having trouble dating to version 3.6.14 or updating to the Beta testing. I am running Linux/Ubutu OS and I get this error message:/tmp/p7x3vko2.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Please help. Thank you , Deb

Solved for me.
I set the owner/permissions of my profile's mozilla folder's (and all the files in it) to read/write access, and the problem disappeared.
in linux:''
* cd /home/myusername/.mozilla
* chown -cR myusername:mygroup ./
* chmod -cR +rw ./
'''Never do that with root privs (nor with sudo)'''

  • Could not be saved because the source file could not be read.

    I tried to download and after a while, this error message: ''[filename] could not be saved because the source file could not be read.'' I've been on google searching but I could not find the answer can someone PLEASE help me. it happened when downloading a game and I've already seen a few times before but it was less important.
    sorry for the bad english I used a translator.

    This problem isn't only happening with Firefox 4, for windows, as the System Details, and Tags indicate.
    I'm using a Mac laptop (OS X 10.5.8 -- Leopard), using Firefox 6, and have been having this problem with large files for quite a while ... possibly since FF 4, but definitely with FF 5. The large files I've had the problem with are in the 500 - 900 MB range, and from commercial sites as well as most recently with a zip file containing photos from a friend which he uploaded to dl.dropbox.com ... attempted it numerous times, after trying the various suggested "fixes", and each time at around 255 MB, the download quits, with the error that file cannot be read from the server.
    The various proposed solutions I've found on the web -- resetting the user configured options connected to downloads in FF config (about:config); deleting the compreg.dat file in the FF profile folder, don't pause the download (never have done this) etc.
    Others have opined that the problem is flaky intermittent WiFi, or Security/Anti Virus software interfering with FF's accessibility to the file during the download; or a caching problem at one's ISP -- HOWEVER Safari doesn't experience this problem at all. Each time that I've experienced it in FF, I launch Safari, and can download the file completely without any errors.
    Would really like to see someone from Mozilla respond to this ... lots of us are experiencing it.
    Whatever happened to Netscape's ability to recover from download interruptions and resume a download at the point where it had been interrupted (like when a dial up modem dropped the line in the middle of the download) -- sure would be useful to see that feature come back in FF.
    Thanks,

  • "ABC could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" error when downloading

    Almost every time I download a file, the download gets to the end and then I get this error "<filename> could not be saved, because the source file could not be read", and then the download fails.
    I checked my addons and they are not the problem. This doesn't happen when I try another Firefox profile. I tried several solutions offered in "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files" but they didn't help. It's not my antivirus.
    I hate to start another profile because I have my current one just the way I like it.
    Please help!

    You can check the file attributes of all the files in the Firefox Profile Folder to make sure that you have write permission.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • In trying to update I received this message: Firefox 3.6.3(2).dmg.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

    In trying to download an update I first received: "There were problems checking for, downloading, or installing this update. Firefox could not be updated because: No data was received (please try again)" It also gave a link to download manually. When I tried from the Firefox website I got: /Users/(deleted for privacy)/Desktop/Firefox 3.6.3(2).dmg.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
    Try again later, or contact the server administrator. I tried this 3 times.

  • I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

    I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

    I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
    I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
    I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

    It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files
    You can try to set the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to false.

  • Cannot save webpage (.html file) because get error sayting that a " .js" file could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Any ideas where my problem is? Thx.

    Every time I attempt to save a webpage (.html format) I get a message indicating that some .js-type file was not saved because the source file could not be read.
    I did some "cleanup" of add-ons because there were so many. Is it possible I deactivated one that I need to read .js files, or could/would it be something else?
    Thanks.

  • C:\Users\Linda\Desktop\Firefox Setup 5.0(1).exe could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

    This is the error message I receive when attempting to download/install Firefox 5

    That was a great idea, and I thought it might work, but it didn't. I turned off the Windows Firewall and tried downloading/installing and it seemed to work as it had me restart computer but my Secunia PSI still said it errored. Any other suggestions?
    The strange thing is I have Firefox 5 web page and it seems to work as 4 did. I also checked the control panel and Firefox 5 was listed and not 4.
    Thanks for your help
