I am unable to download files from a particular web site

I am a faculty member at a local college. I am able to open up blackboard and do certain interactions but when I need to download a file Firefox won't let me. It works fine in explorer.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://

It seems that Blackboard is always at least a year behind in supporting the latest versions of Firefox, and some schools may not be using that latest version of their software. Look under Supported Browsers for the version of Firefox that is supported for the version of Vista or Campus Edition your school uses. That information should be posted at the bottom of most Blackboard / WebCT pages.
http://www2.blackboard.com/tuneup/viewpage?name=tuneup_browser_tuneup_windows_firefox
Depending upon which version your school is using, you will have to use Firefox 3.0.x, 3.5.x, or Firefox 2.0.0.20 when accessing the Blackboard site.
My advice is to install the Firefox Portable version that you need for Blackboard on your computer, and use that installation only for Blackboard. Continue to use 3.6.x for all other web browsing. The Portable version won't affect the official version at all.
FP 3.0.x and 3.5.x versions are here:

FP 2.0.0.20 is here:

  • Unable to download file from FileDownload UI Element - Java Web Dynpro

    Hello Experts,
    I am facing a strange issue.Scenario is:
    I created an java web Dynpro application (Please note that it is just a standalone WD app, not integrated in portal) with just one FileUpload UI Element ,one FileDownload UI element and one button (for triggering an action).
    I browse a file (e.g. text,pdf,doc etc.) and click on button. It uploads the file and when I click on download, there are two cases:
         1) Simply click on download does not downloads the file and shows error: "Unable to download <file name> from <server name>.  Unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later." Though it is opening the file,showing the content.
         2) I opened that portal URL in a new tab in same session and logged in with a portal user. Now if I click on download link of same WD app opened in different tab of same session, it downloads the file without any error.
    I am using portal 7.0
    Can somebody point what's going wrong with case 1?
    Helpful pointers will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Kirtiman

    Hi Sid,
    I did not gave any authentication of WD app as it is anonymous app. There is no parameter set in application properties.
    As I run the app, it is showing the initial screen with UI elemtns and till upload works fine,.It has to be an anonymous app, so cannot ask for credential from user.
    Thanks

  • When switching away from a particular web site, the audio often continues.

    When switching away from an eagle cam web site, the audio often continues after leaving the site or will stop then restart later.
    Only happens from this one web site but occurs on two different computers using Firefox browser but not others. This seemed to start with Firefox 10 and continues with FF 11. I have watched this particular web site off and on for a year and never had this experience with the audio restarting after leaving the site.
    This is the only site I have found where this happens and it happens only with FF, not IE or Chrome. I also learned that a friend has the same problem on the same site on her computer.
    Any help resolving this is appreciated.

    Sounds like a problem with the plugin-container process that doesn't stop properly and keeps playing the sound.

  • I can't get firefox to download files from links on web pages

    I have firefox 3.6.13 and when I click on a download link on a web page nothing happens. I have to open Internet explorer to download files.
    It used to work OK for years until a few months ago.
    The only web page I have found that I can still download from is for mp3 files from amazon.com
    Isn't there anyone out there that has any idea how to solve this? If I can't get it fixed I guess I will have to make Internet Explorer my default browser.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Unable to download statements from my internet banking site, I use OS X 10.8.3 and could always read them before today

    I log into the internet banking website and click on the account I wish to see the statement for. The site takes me to another page to view the statement but there is nothing there to view. I got an error message the first time I logged into the site to get the statement, but this has now gone and I do not get the error message again, even when I have logged out and back in again. I downloaded the latest version of Adobe reader, and still no luck. I have been able to get these statements with no problems prior to today, 26th March 2013. I have not changed any other settings in Firefox or elsewhere, and I do not know where to go from here. I can view the statements on another computer. I have an iMac desktop running OS X 10.8.3

    Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have.
    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options > Applications".
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.

  • Why can't I find treesnap or download it from the apps web site

    The apps website says the app is still available but I can't find it or download it

    I don't find a treesnap app in a web search. I find an iOS app called Leafsnap that iTunes states is no longer available. Perhaps the developer's website is not up-to-date.

  • HT201413 I purchased an album online with my ipad2 directly from the artists website.  I received an email containing the link to allow me to download it.  I tapped on the link and the MSG came up saying Safari is unable to download file.  Any ideas?

    I purchased an album online with my ipad2 directly from the artists website.  I received an email containing the link to allow me to download it.  I tapped on the link and the MSG came up saying Safari is unable to download file.  I have downloaded apps before with no problems.  This is the first music download I have purchased on my ipad2.  Maybe it has something to do with the security on the email I received from the artist containing the download.  I have the latest iTunes OS and apple iPad 2. O.S.  Any ideas on what to do?

    You can't download music via Safari on the iPad - you will need to download it on your computer, add it to your computer's iTunes, and then sync it to the iPad.

  • I changed to ipad air 2 and am unable to download books from overdrive. I am connected to wifi and have tried every option on the overdrive site. It closes everytime I try to download a file.

    I changed to ipad air 2 and am unable to download books from overdrive. I am connected to wifi and have tried every option on the overdrive site. It closes everytime I try to download a file.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, restart your internet modem and router then try downloading books.

    It is not the problem of your program. This happens becuase of the "nature" of the excel. You need to retain the text property of that column.
    Try like this:
    1. Download the file in .txt
    2. Open Excel .. blank sheet
    3. Now, click on Open. Select your .txt file
    4. One pop up will come ..."Text Import Wizard"
    5. Select the fixed width or Delimited ... Press Next ...
    6. Select appropriate delimitors or fixed length .. press Next
    7. Select your coulumn (which has the problem), Select the "Text" radiobutton on the upper-right corner and finish.

  • Download file from AL11 into CSV to load MD into BPC

    Hi All
    I have an issue in downloading file from AL11 which is in the form of CSV.
    1) I have exported the masterdata for Costcenter using a Open hub.
    2) The file is residing at the app server AL11 in the form of CSV.
    3) I want to down load the file into CSV and upload that file into BPC NW for my costcenter diemension.
    When i am downloading the file from AL11 , the total records are merged into one row, i cannot download same as it is available in AL11.
    I have followed the HOW TO GUIED : HOW TO AUTOMATE MD LOADING IN BPC nw.
    I m unable to get the file properly on to my PC.
    could you please help me .
    AK

    You should open your file in AL11, then clicking 'List' then 'Save' you'll be able to download your file. There will be some header lines indeed.
    You'd better use an open hub with your local client as destination if you need the file.

  • Error when submitting podcast: unable to download episodes from your feed

    Hi everyone!
    When I want to submit my podcast in iTunes, it tells me it is unable to download episodes from my feed.
    I uploaded my mp3 file and xml file to an ftp-server, could there be a problem?
    Thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,
    Jannes

    Your feed won't access in FireFox (my default rss reader) or Safari when set as an rss reader, and it was unable to download the file. I was able to access and read it in Terminal and using FeedValidator but it comes to an abrupt end 28 lines in - see the report:
    http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.setanta.com%2Fie%2F%3Ffe ed%3Dpodcast
    (ignore the error on line 14, this is irrelevant.)
    Either your feed file is corrupt or the server is acting up in some way - you would have to take that up with the people running it.

  • Why does my windows phone say it is unable to download file type when trying to install firefox browser?

    I have no restrictions on phone. I tried to be safe and use security features like... Safe search,cookie block and such. However it keeps saying unable to download file type when I try and install any of the up to date browsers. This is interesting to say the least. Because my browser is already using the most up to date version. I have internet explorer using a windows 8 nokia

    hello, the mobile version of firefox isn't available on the windows phone platform: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/will-firefox-work-my-mobile-device#w_other-operating-systems|Will Firefox work on my mobile device?]
    there have been technical and legal hurdles in the app store originally which discouraged mozilla from starting any developments in this direction. i don't know about the current situation, but since mozilla is now focusing its energies on creating firefox os as open source web-based platform, i doubt that you will see firefox on your windows phone device in the foreseeable future...

  • Unable to download photos from Panasonic DMC-ZS19 to IPad

    I have a first generation IPad and I am unable to download photos from my Panasonic DMC-ZS19.  I have tried the USB and the card reader but the IPad does not recognize either.  It was successful using the USB with my desktop but I am going on a trip and want to use the IPad to download to.  I am using the original Photo app.  Do I need to upgrade to another app?  Any suggestions would be helpful.

    Have you tried a different card or card reader or USB port? Or is the camera directly connected with a cable?
    Testing with a different card would check if there is an unreadable file on the card (video image) or if there is a general problem with reading files from that camera.

  • Problem downloading files from flash movie?

    For some reason, on my Mac Book Pro (running OSX 10.5.4) I am unable to download a file from a flash movie (.swf). All other macs in the office are capable, and I can download files from other sources, just not from a flash movie. It allows me to choose where to save the file, but when the download starts, the progress bar remains at 0%.
    Does anyone know what causes this?

    There's no such thing as Final Cut HD 5.0.4. If what you really have is Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, then you should be able to capture and edit HDV. But, you haven't told us what camcordr you have, so it's difficult to help.
    The usual procdure for resolving this situation looks something like this:
    1) With the camcorder powered on and connected, open System Profiler, and see if it sees the camcorder. (SP is in the /Applications/Utilities folder.)
    2) If SP sees it, then with FCP not running, power down the camcorder, then start Final Cut again. When the window opens saying FCP can't find your HDV device, power on the camcorder and click continue. Try it again.
    3) If Log & Capture doesn't see it, then Quit FCP, shut down the Mac, power down the camcorder. Wait 20 seconds. Power up the camcorder, boot up again, open FCP & try it.
    4) If L&C still doesn't see it, then trash your FCP preferences, and try it again.
    5) Report back here.
    EDIT: You are using the HDV Easy Setup, aren't you?
