"save page as" window closes too soon

When I try to save a page, often the save window will close (ie, save the page) before I finish typing in the name to save the page to.

I have this problem too, and only recently.
Is there a fix for this at all?

When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

Hello.
I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Firefox will randomly try to save pages without being prompted too

I'll be browsing the web and left-click on a link then firefox will bring up the "save box" without being prompted too. It happens most often in Facebook, Escapist Magazine and Youtube, but will happen when I use Google.

Most links are to web pages that Firefox handles itself. Some are to other kinds of files and if the server tells Firefox to handle it as a download, it will display the Open/Save or Save/Cancel dialog. If this happens with files that clearly are supposed to display in Firefox, then there could be an issue with your settings for that kind of page or file in: Tools > Options > Applications.
I realize that's a very general answer, so if you can post a couple URLs to pages and indicate which links have the problem, people can take a look and make more specific suggestions.
By the way, the Skype add-on can make changes to pages that cause them to behave differently, so you might try disabling it except when you need it.

Finder window closes as soon as it opens

I have some recovered data that has been giving me problems. After copying the folder back to a rebuilt MBP, the finder window closes immediately upon opening that folder. Any ideas on what exactly is corrupt or forcing this window to close?
MBP 17, 10.8.2

I guess if this were happening to me, I would suspect that one or more files in that folder is sufficiently corrupted to kill the Finder. I would create a new folder and, using Terminal and its mv command, move files one by one into the new folder, testing to see if the original folder can be opened after each step. Others may have better plans....

Besides being unable to view some images on some pages, some windows open too wide inside the current window. If I start up in safe mode, everything works OK. But if I disable all extensions and add-ons, I still have the problem.

Too long

This had no affect on my problem. Sorry, but no help at all. I can enter safe mode with nothing checked in the dialog and the problems go away. Any further ideas?

Why does my upload file window close unexpectedly?

Whenever I try to upload a file to facebook or my website the window closes as soon as I open it... It takes 3 or 4 tries before the window will stay open long enough to find the file and click open.

'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox]''' {web link} is a '''LAST RESORT ! !'''
Reset Firefox -- easily fix most problems
If you're having problems with Firefox, resetting it can help. The reset
feature fixes many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state
while saving your essential information like bookmarks and open tabs.
But first load and use these add-ons.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

How do i change the setting so that when i close windows with multiple tabs, they will ask questions ' save pages' or 'quit' or 'cancel'.

I really need help with this cause when im using firefox 3.6 , usually when i want to close the window , they will ask me whether i want to save the tabs or close or cancel.. but im having difficulties with firefox4.
and now i need to type again the last tab page which i went to.its kinda troublesome.
really need help for this.

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

I want to edit properties of the interface windows opened while "Open File", "Save Page As" and interface opened during Downloading of any file.

I am doing a small project on dedicated web client where in user automatically logs in non-root user and Firefox automatically starts.
I am using Fedora 14 kernel 2.6.35.12-88.fc14.i686 and Firefox 3.6.16.
I have installed only Gnome in my computer with no Nautilus or other file browser on it.
I want to edit properties of the interface windows opened while "Open File", "Save Page As" and interface opened during Downloading of any file.
Please guide me for this.

First, I sent an email to the author of PhotoME to inform him of the serious issues his addon caused with Firefox latest versions.
Now, for those of you who do not have the PhotoME addon and yet experience the same problem that I had and that I described above, I suggest the following strategy.
As PhotoME did cause these problems with Firefox latest versions, I am pretty covinved other addons probably might cause these problems too. Therefore, adopt the following method.
Test one addon at a time to see if this particular addon is behind your Firefox issues like the ones I had.
So, disable one addon only at a time. Then close your Firefox and restart it from scratch and see if you still have your Firefox problems. You must restart the Firefox browser from scratch. If you still have these Firefox problems, re-enable the disabled addon, restart your Firefox (again!) and repeat the same method for every single addon that you have.
Try to be selective by choosing first addons that are more likely to cause your Firefox problems such as not very well-known or not very popular addons (like it was the case for the PhotoME addon).
If this method works or if it does not work, report it on this web page so that others can be helped with your comments.
I hope this method will help you because I was really upset that I had these Firefox problems and I first thought it was the fault of Firefox, only to discover later that this PhotoME addon was the culprit and had caused me such upset.

InDesign 'save' window closes every time I try to save

I am running InDesign CC and am having a problem saving. Whenever I try to save any document, the save window opens, then closes as soon as I click the text box or even try to click on a folder/ place to save the document. The program does not crash, just the save window so I am not able to save the document.
I am running the most recent version of CC on Mac.
Does anybody know how to remedy this?

Ensure your InDesign CC is fully up-to-date.
Try resetting your Application Preferences.

An upgrade for my IPod 3rd gen and now all my APPS close as soon as they open, except for the first page and the bottom line.

I just downloaded the latest upgrade for my 3rd gen IPod and now most of the Apps close as soon as they open. Only the first page of Apps and the bottom line will operate. Does anyone know of a solution. I checked with common problems and I don't have other Apps open.

If the ipod was completely drained of power, you have to leave the ipod connected to a power source (Like your PC) for up to an hour before it will have enough power to power up and be seen by windows and iTunes.

HT1349 So everything on this page relates to Apple products. I am running a Sony laptop with Windows and as soon as I install iCloud desktop iTunes has stopped working. The only time I ever needed it. GREAT! Do you do this on purpose?

The latest version of iTunes tends to act up occassionaly. See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and remove and reinstall iTunes. This will not affect your music library, apps or other content in iTunes. Make sure you follow the steps exactly.
Also, just copying the ringtone will not get it into your phone. iPhone ringtones have an extension of m4r, and you have to first take the Media player file and covert it to an AAC version. From there you need to change the extension from m4a to m4r. If you cannot see file extensions in Windows Explorer, which is actually the default action, go into Organize>Folder and search options, then hit the View tab, and then remove the checkmark by hide file extensions from known file types. After you have created the m4a version and changed the file extension, you can double-click on it and it should show up in the Tones folder in iTunes. From there, sync the phone and it should show up in the list of ringtones.

I can't reply to posts on any forum, website, or blog. I can open a reply window, but as soon as I click "post" the window closes. Any suggestions?

Started happening today, after the newest version of Mozilla downloaded (automatically on restart). Never happened before. It's not the mouse.
For instance, if I go to my favorite forum, open up a reply window, I can type a response just fine. When I click the "post button" the window closes. I can open the same reply window, but it just won't let me post my reply.
Just tried clicking on a response in the "This happened" window below, and guess what? I can't click on any of them......

No idea how to fix that. Try preview first, you will still have to post though.
If you can post sometimes before it fails, I would recommend --- forget the if, you'll need it anyway for mozilla sites, and occasionally for other sites.

When I close Firefox, the windows closes normally, but firefox.exe still appears in Processes in Task Manager. I have to End Process to open Firefox again, and it goes to Restore Last Session page.

When I close Firefox, the windows closes normally, but firefox.exe still appears in Processes in Task Manager. I have to End Process to open Firefox again, and it goes to Restore Last Session page.
Quando eu fecho o Firefox, a janela fecha normalmente, mas o firefox.exe ainda aparece no Processos do Gerenciador de Tarefas. Eu tenho que Finalizar Tarefa pra abrir o Firefox de novo, e quando abre vai para a página de Restaurar Última Sessão.

I have the same problem - every time I close firefox (using either the red x or by selecting file ---> exit) the program appears to close normally, but the firefox.exe *32 process continues to run. If I try to re-open firefox normally I get a message that the program is still running and I need to go into task manager and manually kill the process.
I could also kill the process from the command prompt, but both of those methods are slow and annoying. This issue has only been occurring for the last 24 hours or so; to the best of my knowledge I haven't downloaded any new software or updated any plug-ins that would have caused a switch from firefox's normal awesomeness. Norton doesn't show any new viruses or other nastiness on my computer.
I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium edition.
