I can no longer save images from websites. It starts the download. It stays in my Download manager however the image doesn't save. How can I fix this?

When I attempt to to save an item with right click "save as" I select my directory and then click save. This brings up the download manager. However once the image has "downloaded" I cannot find the file. The file name remains in my Download manager but the file is physically not on my computer. Both the Open and Open Containing file are greyed out. I can still save Images with other browsers.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting or removing the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • Can't get Mail to work - I get the spinning wheel and Mail freezes.  I have to Force Quit it.  How do I fix this?

    Can't get Mail to work - I get the spinning wheel and Mail freezes.  I have to Force Quit Mail .  How do I fix this problem?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, 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). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Just updated my iPhone 5s from ios 8.1 to 8.3. After the install it asked for Apple ID and password and to allow it to sync to Mac and iTunes. After following the steps my phone kept restarting - turning on and off and goes blank. How do I fix this??

    I have had about 9 iOS devices at work do this. 
    The fix and it will wipe out anything on your iphone is to connect it to your computer and have the latest version on iTunes open.  Hold the Power/Sleep and Home button till it blanks out.  Keep holding the home button untill it says recovery mode on the screen of the computer and do a restore.

  • Some websites have jumbled letters. I tried opening the same sites in different browsers. But, they work, except for FF. How do I fix this?

    Annoying jumbled letters.

    Can you post a link to websites where you see it happen?
    This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.<br />
    Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.<br />
    You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
    Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.

  • My brothers iPod shows it's syncing from iTunes, he isn't syncing anything though, and it won't turn off or on either. How do I fix this??

    When my brother plugs in his iPod touch, it shows he's syncing from itunes. He isn't syncing anything though and we've tried charging it but it won't turn off or on.
    We tried to turn it off but it wouldn't do anything. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I cannot open a new tab using the + or Ctrl T or from the file menu. The only way to open a new tab is to click a link. How do I fix this?

    The only way to open a new tab is to click a link like in an email, or right click to tell it to open a new tab. When I click the + or Ctrl T nothing happens.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • My wife can no longer transfer music from her library onto her iphone 3gs. When I click manage music manually it says she has another library, nothing has changed and everything is up to date. Help!

    We have seperate profiles too, on our windows laptop, and seperate music libraries, and mine works fine... Managing music manually says she has another library connected, but this is simply not the case. When I check in preferences, it has the correct filepath... So now nothing from her library with transfer over. Using iTunes 11.01 but this happened on 11.

    Why have Apple made this so bloody annoyingly complicated. She bought a downloader from the Apple store and downloaded music on her phone which I subsiquently downloaded to our laptop. I placed this music into the iTunes Folder. I even went ot the correct location to see if it was there, and it was! But now, nothing in her library will transfer, even purchased music. Clicking on the Manage Music Manually button only makes it say that she has more than one library and her phone will be wiped if she goes any further. What is the bloody story with iTunes!!? It looks lovely but works like something out of the dark ages. No wonder people are moving to Android in droves...
    Anyway, any help, ideas or criticisms will be welcomed. Nothing I have tried (updates etc) has worked. I have checked the files in question, the format is fine, they even play in iTunes which means they must exist. I have physically checked this too, so what's the story???

  • Some websites are saying I need to enable cookies when it is enabled already. I already tried deleting the cookie, deleting all cookies, clearing my cache, and uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. How do I fix this?

    I am trying to access my school's library database. When I log in to access the library, it tells me that the site needs to verify me by sending me a cookie. There's a link to log in again, but when I click it, it says "404 not found". My privacy settings already have cookies enabled, and I tried deleting the cookie and revisiting the site but the same thing happens. I also tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it, but that didn't work either. I am able to access the library on my iPod Touch, and I've tried other browsers on this compute and I can't access them on other browsers either. So it is clearly some issue with my computer that is preventing me from accessing this library. I don't know how else I can resolve this issue and I need to do so ASAP because my inability to access the library off campus is severely hampering my ability to get my work done.

  • Everytime I click on a website I searched for it redirects me to either pebble search engine or scour search engine. How do I fix this?

    Whenever I search for a website and click on it I get redirected to a different search engine.

    This sounds like it could be the result of malware on the computer. Please see [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]] for help.

  • Making a new tab from link or blank tab it shows my original tab site and i cant do anything with it. how do i fix this!?

    When i add a new tab in all the ways possible it places a new tab but just shows the same site that is on the 1st tab and i cant do anything with it and still says new tab.
    if i wanted to bring a link up in a new tab it does this and if i want a blank tab. i have to open a new window.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />
