I downloaded a file in Firefox and it will not let me open it. It did say the download was complete! what can I do?

Why is firefox download not allowing me to open files I have downloaded when it says the download was complete.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I downloaded files yesterday and today

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
Do not forget to re-enable the scanning in your anti-virus software after you are finished with downloading and installing.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files (Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows)

  • I am trying to download Firefox 3.6.8 on googlechrome and it will not let me run it. It says the file is corrupted. Help?

    I've tried several times and it says the same thing. Is there something I can do differently?
    Also, I tried downloading it off of IE, but IE won't recognize my internet connection, so I can't even get to the website.

    Hi,
    I think there are some internet problems. If you use a (wireless)-router, maybe a reset will work. You can reset the router by pressing a button on the router itself. Try again downloading firefox.
    If this doesn't work, download firefox from another computer and safe it on a USB flash drive.
    Kind regards,
    Joren

    Download them to iTunes abd then sync the apps. Make an appointment with Apple and see what the problem is.

  • Firefox 4 will not let me keep my bookmarks listed on the side bar. I can open them there but once I click somewhere else they go away.

    Firefox 4 will not let me keep my bookmarks listed on the side bar. I can open them there but once I click somewhere else they go away. On previous Firefox versions I could display my bookmark folders down the left side of my screen and just leave them there, accessing saved bookmarks when I needed to. Now with FF4 I can open a vertical column of my bookmark folders by clicking on bookmarks in the navigation bar but this won't stay there; if I click elsewhere they disappear. I could put a bookmark toolbar on my screen but this takes up more vertical space. I have lots of horizontal space that's unused. How can I go back to the display of bookmarks in previous versions?

    You can fix that by going to View -> Sidebar and click on Bookmarks.
    Or you could simply use a shortcut
    ''control + B''

    I have just received a new iphone 5s and need to set the Apple ID with my work email.  I used my work email on my personal iphone 4s to set up an icloud account and it will not let me use this email as the Apple ID on my new iphone.  As it is a work phone I need to use this email address as my Apple ID.  How do I do this?

  • I have just updated itunes to 10.7 and now my videos and flims will not play. I get a message saying itunes has stopped working. Can you help

    I have just updated itunes to 10.7 and now my videos and flims will not play.

    This helped overcome the crash problem, but (as reported before), I still have to start iTunes in Safe Mode in order to watch any videos. This has been the case since 10.5.
    The regular mode behavior has changed a bit - instead of the progress bar moving to the end of the video, showing no video but playing the audio for about three seconds, it now leaves the progress bar where it is ... but the rest of the behavior hasn't changed.
    Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit on an HP dv8t quad-core laptop w/ 8 GB RAM, running nVidia GeForce 230M with 1 GB video RAM.
    Thanks for your prompt response to the original problem posted above. At least now I'm back where I started from before I upgraded to 10.7. Not optimal, but I've finally gotten used to doing a Ctrl-Shift-click to run iTunes.

  • Firefox will not open and it will not let me uninstall it because it says that the program is in use; however it will not open. What do I do?

    When I click on the shortcut for the program it does not load. When I attempted to fix the problem, everything tells me that firefox is currently open when in fact (as far as I can tell) it is not.

    If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.

  • Windows 8.1, Photoshop Elements 11, Raw 7.4.0.137 and it will not let me open .CR2 from canon 70D

    Can someone point me to what I need to do in order to open "raw" images from Canon 70D, in .CR2 format? 
    I'm on Windows 8.1,
    Photoshop elements 11
    Raw plugin of 7.4.0137
    thanks

    Hi,
    The 70D requires camera raw 8.2 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11 - you have the last for version 11.
    You can either
    1) Buy the latest version of Photoshop Elements
    2) Use the free Adobe DNG converter to take the CR2 files and converts them to DNG files. The DNG files can then be processed by Photoshop Elements 11
    DNG  Converter 9.0

    I own a WRT110 Model and a Xbox 360 Pro. Both are fairly new and work good. Problem is the xbox can not find the DNS and cant find the xbox servers. Ive tried power cycling and putting the xbox manually and auto. I can acess the internet and Xbox.com on my pc. I just dont know what else to do. And idk if it's something to do with the ports or something on the internet page for the modem. Please please help!

    Well before that.
    My internet provider is Suddenlink and my modem is ArrisTM602G
    Could it be that Suddenlink OR the modem is blocking gaming ports?

    If you've reached five authorizations for your iTunes Store account, there will be a button in your Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computers you're using now.

  • I have a MacBook Pro, and will not let me open a file because it says I do not have permission.  How do I fix this?

    I have a MacBook Pro and it will not let me open a file that I have used several times in the past because it says that I do not have permission to use it.  How do I fix this?

    Oops, my bad.  The repair disk permissions in Disk Utility doesn't actually fix the User home folders.  To do that boot into the recovery partition and when the recovery desktop appears select Utilities -> Terminal. Enter “resetpassword” and press return - don't worry you're not actually going to reset your password!
    Ensure that your username is selected from the “Select user account” menu, then under “Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs” click the “Reset” button.
    Click on the Apple menu and restart your computer.
