Since I refreshed Firefox 36.0.4, "Save page as" and "save image as" are not working (even in Safe mode)

I refreshed FF 36.0.4 on invite. Since then "save page as " and "save image as" are not working -- no response when clicked.
In Safe Mode, same problem.
I serached past forum discussions and found several occurrences, but no convincing response.

I tried troubleshooting plugins, none appeared to be causing the problem.
I installed 36.0.1, but no difference. Went back to 36.0.4, still no change.
I ran a malware check with Malwarebytes, no change.
A past thread here suggested deleting localstore.rdf, which I tried, no result.
People have had this problem in the past. No one has any idea of how to fix it?

  • Some tabs and click-on headings are not working. They worked yesterday, and other than updating Firefox AFTER the problems, I've made no changes. Example: headings in Facebook; headings in my library website.

    Some of the browser tabs and headers that are "clickable" are noe working. I click on them, and nothing happens. Part of Facebook works, but the headers do not. My library site headers, which has tabs for "Search" and "Account" as examples, do not work. Up till late yesterday, there were no problems. I did re-install Firefox this morning, and it made no difference.

    The Yahoo! Toolbar extension has been reported to cause this issue.

  • Since I installed Firefox 5.0, when I open a new window my toolbars are not there. I also cannot open links in a new window.

    With the old version, if I opened a new window, my homepage opened and all my toolbars were there. I don't want to have to open my toolbars every time I open a new window. Sometimes they won't open at all.

    Hi tomab,
    By default Firefox opens a blank tab when you hit the tab button. The fact that is shows an actual page leads me to believe that you have an add-on or something else causing your issue. I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Usual windows 7 opening and closing of windows are not working with my updated Firefox 16.0.1

    My Windows 7 automatically updated recently and so did Firefox. Now, with all other Windows applications including Internet Explorer, I can open a new window by right-clicking on the icon in the taskbar (showing there because the application is open), and when I right click, it gives me the option to close all windows. With Firefox, this also used to be the case, but since the update, when I right -click on the open Firefox in the taskbar, nothing happens. And when I tried to "pin" Firefox to the taskbar, even then, I cannot close all open windows just by right-clicking, and it is a longer procedure to open a new Firefox window. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated....

    Try to check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Firefox will not start, even in Safe Mode. Evidence suggests that this is due to an incompatibility with the latest update of Java.

    Firefox will not start in WinXP. (I am sending this from an alternate browser.)
    I believe that this is due to some incompatibility with the latest update of Java. I believe that one of the tabs from my previous session included a Java application, and this is causing the difficulty. In recent days, since the last update of Java, I have had difficulty in loading linked pages with Java applications into Firefox, and have needed to switch to a different browser to do this.
    Now I cannot even start the browser, presumably due to the presence of a Java application on one of the restored tabs.
    When I now try to start Firefox, my ZoneAlarm security s/w presents the message "Java(TM) Quick Starter binary is trying to access the Internet." I click "Allow", but Firefox will not start. If I click "Deny", the same result. The same thing happens when I try to start Firefox in Safe Mode, I cannot even start Firefox in Safe mode.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after recent update of Java

    You can try to disable the Java Quick starter and the Java Console extension in the Control Panel > Java.
    Control Panel > Java > Advanced tab > Miscellaneous >Java Quick Starter (disable)
    You can also disable the Java plugin in Firefox: Tools > Add-ons > Plugins

  • Recently installed Firefox 14.0.1 on Windows Vista, and now windows webmail is not working. any suggestions?

    since installing Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 on 7-15-12, and I believe Adobe Flash Player may have been installed at same time as well, I am unable to send e-mails using my Windows Vista system. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Are you using Hotmail / Windows Live Mail, or a different Windows webmail site?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    When I look at your "More system details" list I don't see the Shockwave Flash plugin at all. You can check whether you have Flash installed and running on Adobe's "about" page here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  • Firefox plug in container has stopped working, even in safe mode with plug ins disabled

    My firefox keeps crashing every 5 - 10 minutes. Sometimes I get a windows error message saying "firefox plugin container stopped working", but most times I don't. These are the actions I've taken so far, with no effect:
    1. Updated all my plug-ins
    2. Run firefox in safe mode with plug-ins disabled
    3. Uninstalled and reinstalled firefox
    4. Run an AVG scan which turned up nothing
    Can anyone offer advice on how to fix this (very annoying) problem?
    I've had to write this in IE because firefox wouldn't stay open long enough for me to copy and paste it into the text box.

  • Image - maps are not working in Firefox but it does work in IE. Some help required.

    Hey there,
    Last week i've been building a website for our company. However, there is still a problem with our banner/slider. I've uploaded some images and the slider is currently working. But the image maps ,using <map> & <area> taggs, are not functional in FF. They do work in IE so I suppose it should be working correctly.
    I've tried using Chrome & Safari but the problem keeps persisting.
    Some help would be nice (:

    Doesn't work in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari? <br />
    Sounds like you're using non-compliant code.

    You could try posting the URL to a test case at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine, and see what they have to say. The support helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

  • Lot of addons are not working even after uninstalling and reinstalling them. Using 3.6.12 version of firefox with windows

    I am using 3.6.12 version of firefox with windows OS. Recently, lot of addons not working and not showing in task bar like IE tab, RC Search, Answers, Better Privacy, AdBlock plus, etc. I have some 15-20 addons installed of which only 5-6 addons are working .Please help

    Update to 3.6.17 in the first instance by clicking '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''.
    The main reason for this is because there was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.
    See: http://blogs.comodo.com/category/it-security/data-security/
    It's not a good idea to install an ActiveX control in Firefox because you expose your machine to exploits which target that Microsoft technology. If you need to use Internet Explorer, then do that rather installing the IE Tab.
    You may find your other add-ons start working properly after you update Firefox, so do that first.

  • Ps 3d and filters and save for web are not working the way they should

    At work we just put cs6 on a w7 machine running 64 bit which has more than that required mem and or ram to run cs6 - unfortunately I have to use a windows based machine at work (cheapskates). Anyways. I see the 3d menus and the filter menu in PS but they aren't funtional. The filter menu drop down is there but Liquify is the only one that shows up the rest are gray. The option to choose 3d is also there but they are not functional (grayed out) - I took a look at some online tutorials on using the 3d effect in PS CS6 and Ive gone through it a few times and it still won't work for me. Also, in illustrator when I save for web - when I adjust the pixel dimensions and move the mouse over and click on the image that I am saving for web nothing happens and I'm completely boggled about how to get the image size to change in the save for web pane. Typically I am used to being able to input the the number into the pixel dimenion field and click on the image and the image resizes (on a mac you can either click on the image or hit return and the image will resize in front of your eyes!). I am unable to get this to work the way I am used to, this happens for me in both ill5 and ill6 on this piece of crap windows machine. Maybe I just need to reinstall? Maybe adobe has changed the way this works? Maybe a sledge hammer into this windows machine would solve all my problems!? IDK. someone help... help me... pleeeeaaaaaaaaaaasssseeeee

    unfortunately I have to use a windows based machine at work (cheapskates).
    This gets a "stupid comment of the day" medal. Seriously. These days Macs are just as convoluted and effed up as Windows was a few years ago - nice as long as everything works, but god forbid you have a problem. So by all means, update your graphics driver and be glad that you actually have that choice rather than having to wait half a year for Apple to fix it...

  • When I close Firefox, it closes on my desktop, but when I try to open it again, it appears to think that it is already open and will not open--even in safe mode.

    The only way I seem to be able to reopen Firefox is to reboot the computer, which, needless to say, is not a very helpful choice. Is this a common problem? I am running Windows 7.

  • Have IPhone 4S with 1000 photos that I need to download FROM IPHONE PHOTO LIBRARY to a SanDisk since I nuked my photos on PC.  Icloud sysc and sync to PC didi not work and wiped out IPAD Photos.

    Question on how to download photos from IPhone 4S to backup SanDisk - nuked files on 1) camera SansDisk and camera download to PC which IPhone and IPad was synced to.  When I synced IPad to PC it wiped out all photos so down to just one backup on IPhone.

    This helped to know it is one-way and that is why my IPad got nuked.  Is there any software you are aware of that can download or transfer photo albums, not camera rolls or those taken by iphone, toa disc?  there are apps on itunes that I tr5ied but only worked on camera rolls or phtos take with iphone.  I have over 1,000 photos and do not want to make 1,000 emails of redueced size photos that loses original jpg date and data.
