I can't change Download Location, or Save pages/images..."Browse" dialog will not show.

If I go into Options, and click "Browse" to change the Download location, nothing happens. I have used Firefox for many years and have never had this problem. I just did a clean install of Win7 (wiped entire HDD), and the problem started when I installed Firefox this time.
I can also NOT "Save Page..." or "Save Image As..."....basically anything that requires a Browse dialog window does not work, it just stalls and nothing happens.
I read another report of this, and the only solution that was given was to Reset Firefox. I did that, to no effect. I also saw something about migrating profiles, etc....I did not import anything into Firefox when I installed, nor do I have more than one user account in Windows. It's a really odd problem, but unfortunately I can't use Firefox if I can't save things. I've tried browse dialogs in other applications and I have no problems there.
Thanks for any assistance! Just to re-iterate, this is a completely clean install of Firefox and Win7...I even tried uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox before posting here.

I hope this helps-
Go to the option menu and under the General tab, chose "ask me where to save files" and then restart Firefox in safe mode.
If this doesn't work,check for updates.

  • HOW CAN WE CHANGE THE LOCATION OF TEMPORARY FILES DURING BROWSING?

    IN ORDER TO WATCH VIDEOS A LARGE AMOUNT OF MEMORY IS REQUIRED. BUT THE DRIVE IN WHICH FIREFOX IS INSTALLED HAS MORE NUMBER OF PROGRAM FILES. IS THERE ANY WAY TO CHANGE THE LOCATION OF THE TEMPORARY FILES THAT GET ACCUMULATED DURING BROWSING?

    You probably need to change the value of the %temp% and %tmp% environment variables in:
    Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables
    You can set the location of the Firefox cache by setting a pref to that location.<br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.cache.disk.parent_directory
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • I have downloaded a french cd onto iTunes, but it will not show up on my iPhone or iPad.  The cd is both music and spokenk

    I have downloaded a French cd on iTunes. It is both speaking and music.  It has downloaded fine in iTunes but it will not transfer to either my iPhone or iPad.  Could someone advise please?

    Or 80 years in router years.
    Check the site of the manufacturer and see if there is an update for your router and install it. If there isn't one try restarting your router by pulling the plug on it and plugging it back in.

  • I can right click to copy a web page link, but it will not let me rick click again to paste the link to the body of text

    I use firefox as my web browser. My start page is www.msn.com where I can access hotmail. Once I have logged into hotmail and click on (Create) new mail I have this problem. If I go to a web page link, ie; www.msn.com, I can highlite the address and then right click to copy. When I go to the body of the email I'm working with, and right click again to paste I DO NOT GET A SCREEN THAT HAS PASTE ON IT. I tried this again by logging into Internet Explorer signed into my hot mail account and tried it again. It works in IE with hotmail. So I feel this problem has been encountered with a firefox update, because I did not have the problem in the past.

  • Can I change the location of adobe organizer file folders in Elements 11 from my c to d drive ?

    Can I change the location of adobe organizer file folders in Elements 11 from my c to d drive ?
    My laptop, which uses Windows 7, came with the hard drive divided between a C and D drive.  the C drive, where all the programs load, is nearly full, and I would like all the photos and videos that adobe elements organizer finds and that I download into load on my nearly empmty and spacious D drive.
    In other programs I can change this is file prefernces, but I cant find that feature in elements.
    Is it possible? and how can I do it?

    Team Ben Hur
    SG will probably have more to say about his reply, but in the meanwhile you might want to check out Premiere Elements 11/Elements Organizer 11/File Menu/Catalog Manager... and the Custom Location option. I suspect that is what both of you have in mind?
    When Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 are installed on the same computer, they share a common Elements Organizer (catalog) although they can be purchased as standalone products each with its own Elements Organizer (catalog).

  • How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

    How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

    Moving the iOS device backup location
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • Can i change the location for backup in my widows 7 ?

    How can i change the location for the bacup in my windows 7?Thanks.

    First, make sure iTunes isn't running
    Now, move the C:\Users\(yourname)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ folder to your preferred location. My was F:\iTunesMobileSync. This is up to you.
    Finally, start a command prompt as an administrator. You can do this from the Start Menu, type cmd.exe, then right click and select Run As Administrator. From the command prompt, create an junction point as I do below, just change f:\yournewfolder with your new location.One thing to to make sure of, don't end up with a folder like f:\yournewbackupfolder\Backup\Backup, so be sure to check how your folders ended up when you moved them.
    mklink /J "C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "f:\yournewfolder\Backup"
    You should see something like this in Windows 7. Note the little "shortcut" overlay icon? That's saying this is a link.
    You can also confirm it with dir from the command line. Note the <junction>:
    C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync>dir
    Directory of C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <DIR>          .
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <DIR>          ..
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <JUNCTION>     Backup [f:\iTunesMobileSync\Backup]
                   0 File(s)              0 bytes
                   3 Dir(s)  97,594,851,328 bytes free
    If you are still on XP and not Vista or Windows 7, you don't have mklink, but you can use the junction utility in the same way.
    This works.

  • How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    If the size of the iPhone backup is putting you over the edge you have bigger problems than just this backup. You really need to solve the fundamental problem of your C: partition being too small. Even if you could solve the iPhone problem something else will come up soon that will again challenge your disk space. New drives can be had for well under $100, and even a 500 GB drive is only a little more than $100. This would be a good time to upgrade. You can even clone your current drive AND increase the partition size in one step with disk imaging software such as Acronis True Image.
