Sharing Icon appears from downloading files only with firefox

After the update today now when ever I download a file with firefox it has a sharing icon on it.
Tried to reset to default twice,didnt work,tried to disable all add ons didnt work.
Only happens with firefox and not other browsers I have.
I have to manually right click each download and click the share and set to stop sharing.

This is a shot in the dark: Firefox marks downloaded files as having come from the internet. This is integrated into Firefox's feature of submitting each download to your antivirus software for scanning. (With real-time antivirus protection, this scan is redundant.) You could disable that and see whether it makes any difference.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful. This is Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to switch it from true to false.
Then go back to another tab and try a new download. Any change?

TED talks from ipadair2 don't play on appletv2 from downloaded files

I only have a 2mbs internet connection. TED talks from ipadair2 do not play on appletv2 from downloaded files but they do play from streaming? This only started recently, maybe after an update, it did work both ways before. the same happens with my iphone5s!

The songs somehow became corrupted when they transferred to new computer from old computer. Thankfully, I had another computer with iTunes and transferred them via firewire.

'''Did you backup whatever bookmarks you did have on the computer ? '''
Remember any restoring of bookmarks overwrites whatever he current set is, and you may not want to loose them.
Even if up until now you have not made any backups of Desktop bookmarks Firefox will have backed up some of them into sets of daily bookmark backups. Once you have backed up your current set you could look at what it has by restoring those bookmarks, you may find one of those sets is fairly complete.
By the way if you look at the profile files and folders that you should now have on the desktop you should see it contains a bookmarks backup folder, the size of the files within should indicate whether they contain anything.
You need to go into the bookmarks library and try the restore option. Backup each set that you look at if it has anything of use in it, before trying the next set. With look one of those will be a fairly complete set of bookmarks.
* USE '''Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore '''
** see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_restoring-from-backups]]_restoring-from-backups
I do not use Firefox on mobiles, but before you try anything further you do need to backup the desktop bookmarks and learn what existing backups you have. Unless you master that you are in continual danger of overwriting and loosing bookmarks.
Presumably you have already found this listing of help articles for mobiles

Acknowledgement from receiver file Adapter with out BPM

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to get Acknowledgement from Receiver file Adapter with out Using BPM.
Here is the scenario. I am sending files from different Sender Adapters. There is only one target that is File Adapter. After each successfull and failure transaction I need an Acknowledgement that needs to trigger another receiver adapter and send the the file name and timestamp to that file.
Hope this is a complicated scenario. Please help me.
Thanks,
Kevin

from sap note 821267
6. Acknowledgements
    * Q: Does the File Adapter support acknowledgements?
    * A: You need to distinguish system acknowledgements (indicating that a message has been received by the target system) and application acknowledgements (indicating that the message has been successfully processed by the application on the receiver side).
           The receiver of an XI message will only send an acknowledgement back to the sender if the sender has requested one. However, the File Adapter has no functionality that relies on the receipt of an acknowledgement, so it never requests one.
           On the other hand, if a File Adapter Receiver receives a request to send an acknowledgement, it will do so for a system acknowledgement request. Application acknowledgements are not supported at all as the File Receiver has no way to determine if the written file has been correctly processed by the back-end application, which is what a positive application acknowledgement would imply.
this means that your requirement is ideally not possible without a BPM

Video from .ts files (created with Arcsoft Showbiz) played in accelerated.

Hello everybody, can you explain me why in PREMIERE PRO CS6, the video from .ts files (created with Arcsoft Showbiz) is played in accelerated while the sound is played normally ?
If it is normal, an update would be great
Thank you.

As far as I know, the best way to digitize vhs tapes is with a http://www.grassvalley.com/products/converters product
Model 55 is one way from tape to computer, model 110 allows exporting back to tape
Files are DV AVI which edit very well in all versions of Premiere

Hey ErikSimon, I kept troubleshooting my problem last night and when I loaded my samples an alternate way, actually the longer way, it worked. I think I have gremlins in the system or something, but I got it working again. I was having the issue when I tried loading the samples via these instructions that were mentioned in SFLogicninja's Youtube video @ 3:07
http://www.youtube.com/user/SFLogicNinja#p/u/8/7YjgKLZ2jpY
They are good instructions, but the Logic gods weren't smiling on me last night. Really weird and frustrating at the same time. Thanks anyways.

Jumpy scrowl control with mouse.Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer. Problem fixed when I updated to 6. 0.2 but problems returned after about a week.. 0.2

Jumpy scroll wheel control with mouse. Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer.Even pushing the scroll wheel and trying to adjust for a smooth easy scroll the text stops and starts. Problem fixed itself when I updated to 6. 0.2 from an older version but the problem returned after about a week.. The problems go away when I go to web site and scroll but is back when I return to my home page (mozilla firefox)

Good post, and glad to hear you had a solid transition. Mine went well too, though I think I beat the rush.
It's worth noting that the vast and overwhelming majority of headaches people were experiencing were related to download and activation servers (as well as credit check servers for some mobile carriers) being crushed and overwhelmed.
To give you an idea of just how crushed, here are some numbers. In the last year, something in the neighborhood of 8 million iPhones have been sold. That's just shy of 22,000 per day. So the typical traffic is around 22,000 times a day, someone is hitting the server for update/activation.
This weekend, Apple sold 1 million iPhones. In other words, 333,333 phones per day. Holy crap!
As if that wasn't enough, there are 8 million of us out there with the first generation iPhone. Not only do we need to download the new firmware, but we have to install it. The installation process requires hitting the activation server again, to validate the phone. Mind you, not everybody upgraded this weekend, but a few million did. For the sake of argument, we'll assume that's 1 million a day. So, instead of the normall traffic of 22K phones a day, those activation servers got SLAMMED with 1.33 million activations per day.
It ***** that some people had delays and hiccups and a hard time and everything, but completely understandable. With luck things will run more smoothly from here on out.

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Why does the "TAB" key no longer work to move the cursor from field to field with Firefox 17 in MAC OS 10.8?

The "TAB" key will not move the cursor from field to field with Firefox 17 in MAC OS 10.8. You have to use the mouse to click on the new field to move the cursor.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.tabfocus
Note: In OS X (as of 2005-01), if this preference is not explicitly set, the “Full Keyboard Access” setting in System Preferences will be honored. All builds before that date (e.g., Firefox 1.0.x) will ignore that setting.
This pref doesn't exist by default, so if you want to use it instead of the system settings then you need to create a new Integer pref with the name accessibility.tabfocus and set the value to what you want (7 is to tab through all the fields).

"@font-face" problem only with firefox. I have attached a style sheet while i was embedding my personal fonts into a website, but Firefox won't load them. Why?

I was hand coding my new website. This time i was trying to embed some personal fonts into my website, so i used a style sheet to embed which is coded like
"@font-face {
font-family:Sofia;
src:url(../fonts/Sofia-Regular.otf);
All the font work fine in the root folder of my site. But whenever i am creating dreamweaver templates and using them on pages which are in different folders but in the same root directory, the fonts are set back to default font. This problem is only with Firefox. Chrome, IE, Opera etc. works fine. Please Help!

i run into the same problem the last days.
using bootstrap and the fontawesome iconfonts.
everythings fine with chrome an ie, but no fonticons with firefox...
found alot of solutions, but none of them worked.
then, using the webdeveloper console (i used firebug all the time before) i see the error why the webfont was not loaded:
[14:18:36.161] GET http://www.example.com/font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=3.2.0 [HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required 21ms]
yes, the site is behind a '''htaccess''' login.
first load after login is => everything ok!
after following an internal link => no webfonts!
after disabeling the htaccess login, everything works fine!
but that can only be a workaround!
why firefox didnt recognize the login/authorization like chrome does?!
what todo if you have your site behind htaccess and want to use webfonts?!

Names of downloaded files appear in Downloads Window only if that window is open during download. I run Firefox 4 on windows xp 32 bit sp3. I didn't have such problem with Firefox 3. Can somebody please help me?

When I download a file with firefox 4 Downloads Window opens but downloading file name doesn't appear there. If I keep Downloads Window open further downloads appear in it but if i close it and reopen it again it appears blank, all downloaded file names are disappeared. I tried everything, unchecked "Remember download history" box and checked it again, deleted downloads.sqlite file, even created new profile but nothing helped.

It is easy for me to explain things badly, and I can not see what you are actually doing, I will therfore try to list as steps to take.
Please confirm that you have used firefox safe mode and still see the problem, by doing the following:
# open firefox - use any profile
# use '''Firefoxbutton -> Help -> Restart with add-ons disabled'''
# you should now see an options dialogue with a list of check box options,
#*you may get a confirmation option, if so accept it
#* do you now see the listing of check boxes, with a continue button at the bottom
#without making any changes, click the continue with safemode
# firefox should now restart in safe-mode
Now try the downloading, whilst we know you are in safe mode.
# once a download has completed, use the option to open the containing folder that you see in your download manager
## does that option work ok,
## does it open a folder with downloads in it, make a note of the folders path/location/name
## do you see the downloaded file you just downloaded
## if so regardless of what the downloads folder says you have found the downloads
## close firefox and the folders with the downloads
## are you now able to reopen the 'containing' folder and find the downloads <br />( use Windows Explorer, not clicking on firefox, - firefox is closed)
## close the folder again
## open firefox, this time no need to be in safe mode
## look again for the containing folder whose name you noted down, does it still contain the downloads
#'''IF''' you are getting problems now that you are in safe mode read the article about [[Unable to download or save files]]
## the article has several steps it suggests you try,
## please try all the steps in turn and report what happens with each step

Incorrect file icon/preview for downloaded files

Hey all,
I've recently upgraded to Mavericks and I've noticed an issue where files I've downloaded from the internet will sometimes appear as they should on my desktop with the appropriate icon based on the file extension or with the appropriate icon preview, but in other instances the file icon looks like the one in the attached screen shot. The file still opens fine and behaves normally, but the icon is weird and makes it hard to quickly find when I'm looking or a specific photo or type of file. Any solutions?
Thanks,

It works as it should.

Reinstall of cs2 from downloaded files

reinstall of cs2 from download worked but illustrator wont launch, other programs working fine

I have a similar problem. I reinstalled CS2 but for the time being just chose to install Illustrator from the package. That was successful up until the point that I tried to launch or open the program. I get the following pop-up box every time:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program:...rator CS2\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Windows also says:
The color scheme has been changed.
The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to temporarily
change the color scheme to Windows Vista Basic.
Program: Adobe Illustrator
Publisher: Adobe Systems, Inc.
Process identifier (PID): 4064
Windows will automatically change the color scheme back to
Windows Vista Aero when this program or other programs performing similar
actions are no longer running.
Please decode. Will it be impossible for me to get it up and running? I need to work with it for a class that has already started.
If I have to buy a new cs suite (or just the illustrator as I only need that for now), what is the best package for a student?

Macbook Retina, Loud Idle Fans, Fans start from downloading files

hello
i have a early 2013 retina 15" macbook pro
is it normal that the fans kick in from browsing in youtube? or when i download 2 big files at the same time.. like 500 MB for example
i think it cant be normal for a computer like this to have spinning fans when usage is so low
also my left fan makes a strange noise sometimes, on the right side you only can hear the spinning air from the fan, but not the fan itself,
on the left side you cleary hear a noise while the macbook is in idle, its not extreme loud, but you can cleary hear the fan fro distance when in idle
is this normal?
i trid everything, smc reset, completly reinstalled 10.8.3 but its still the same
the next apple store is over 1 hour away with my car
so i hope to find some helpful answers here first please
Should you hear the fans from a normal working distance when your maschine is in idle with alost no usage
browsing, downloading files etc..
thanks in advance
deniz

Your computer uses Flash to watch YouTube, and it may make your Mac work harder because it consumes a lot of CPU and memory, so it may be normal. However, it's not normal that fans turn on when you are downloading two files.
I recommend you to run Apple Hardware Test in order to check if there's something wrong with your computer. To do this, connect the computer to the charger, and hold Option (Alt) and D keys while your Mac is starting to start into Apple Hardware Test. Choose the language, mark the option to run an extended test and start the test. When it finishes, if it shows an error, copy it here and get ready to take the computer to an Apple Store. If not, there's a process which is consuming a lot in the computer
