[SOLVED] Cannot save things in Firefox

This is probably one of the wierdest problems that I've seen.
For whatever reason, I am unable to open a save dialog in Firefox. I can't save images, web pages, etc...
However, I've noticed that when I try to open a save dialog and then switch to vc/1 (output of Xorg) I notice that the word "None" is displayed.
As always, any help is greatly appreciated...

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check

[Solved] Cannot browse youtube with firefox?

I noticed this last night, and it is still not working this morning (could very well be something that was changed on youtube's side of things that isn't compatible with Firefox, since it works with Chrome). Anyway, if I'm watching a video on youtube, and I click another video from the suggested videos / sidebar the page will load (within youtube's frame — red progress bar along the top of the page, and the title / comments will change), however, the previous video will still be playing and the new one will not load until I refresh the page.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Is it a new youtube "feature" or is some configuration incorrect on my side of things? Thanks.

How are people supposed to narrow down your problem without sitting in front of your screen?
It's not like they can see what plugins and extensions you have installed and so on.
You'll either have to provide those or you'll have to work alone.
hahaha I have no idea, I've tried disabling adobe-flash from within firefox, but not removing it from my system. But then I just get the "you don't have flash installed" error. I've also tried disabling my adblocker, but I really don't have many FF extensions installed. I have to run to class in a few minutes, so I'm hoping someone else has had this issue and will come along.

Wow ... I'm stumped ... I have been a dedicated and satisfied Firefox user .. OK ... I downloaded Firefox 8.01 to my Mac and now I cannot save any bookmarks even aftertrying everything I can find in Firefox Help

Help with bookmarks ... I cannot save any bookmarks at all ...even in safe mode, I have reset Firefox preferences, restarted after installing, and looked at all of the Troubleshooting instructions.
Really at a loss and will not be able to use Firefox until I figure ths out ... I love my Firefox and want it to work

Thanks for the reply ... I was not able to locate the places.sqlite file as described. I did solve the problem by deleting Firefox .. emptying the trash and then I restarted the computer and re-installed a new download of the application. When I completed the clean install everything worked great. I like the new look and features of 8.0.1 and look forward to using it from now on ... Thanks again for trying to help core-el ,,,

The file "Acceptance Letter.pages" doesn't exist. Since installing Yosemite on MacBook Pro I cannot save or export from Pages. Just get the message at beginning of this post. How to solve problem?

I cannot save or export from Pages since installing Yosemite on MacBook Pro . I just get the message at beginning of this post “Acceptance Letter.pages” doesn’t exist or whatever file title I have inserted How to solve problem?

Thanks Peter but I was not seeking to store with I-Cloud. In fact I never store documents with I-cloud.
I was in fact trying to store the files to Documents, which is where I usually keep such things.
Have now discovered that if I leave the file untiled and simply close it, rather than saving it then it will save, oddly, to Documents. I then have to re-title it and move to the folder I want it in.
Despite the above, even once it is titled and saved in Documents then if I reopen it I still cannot then Export it to a Word or PDF file. I still just get the message . xxxxxx.pages does not exist!
Bad news as I am constantly exporting documents to Word and PDF to send to others who do not use a Mac

Cannot save images of any kind but firefox say its saved

I have been using Firefox since you guys started & never had a problem till now. I cannot save any images from any website no matter what the type & it is only happening on Firefox & it started when I upgrade to Ver. 20 which by the way I HATE....I prefer the older version so I loaded that back onto my computer BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. It is only happening on FIREFOX cause I downloaded these images using Internet Explorer which actually is easier now to use than your new Ver. 20.......
Anyway if I click on image & then "save as" & tell it where to download....it goes through the process & even shows up in the download window like it has downloaded....but if you click on the download window to see the image...nothing happens.....if you go to the file where you downloaded the image to, the file is NOT there??????? Now like I said this started after it updated to version 20...I now have Version 3.6.8 loaded....cause I do not want this new version 20....I am an old man, I have Windows Vista Ultimate on my desktop.....and I do not like the layout of 20 & it is very hard to do anything....anyway can you TELL ME PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS what is going on & why did this all happen & the big thing.....HOW THE HECK DO I FIX IT PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.......
thank you...William

hey william, first of all please [[Update Firefox to the latest version]] again as soon as possible, since it will contain fixes for [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.htmlmany dozens of known security vulnerabilities] - continuing with firefox 3.6.x will put the integrity of your system and your personal data at risk!
afterwards please go through the troubleshooting steps described at [[What to do if you can't download or save files]] - or simply [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] which probably can address the issue quickly...

I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?

I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?
In the previous versions of Firefox when you went to you Bookmarks menu it gave you the options to either Bookmark This Page 'command' + 'D', Subscribe to this Page, Bookmark All Tabs 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'D', and Organize Bookmarks 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'B' however in the newest version of Firefox there is no Bookmark All Tabs so you can bookmark all the tabs that you have up in one window at a time. So I need to know if it is possible that the feature is now in a different place, is gone altogether, or if you can get that feature another way?
For me personally and my work I go through hundreds of web pages a day and save around half of those so it is imperative that I be able to bookmark more then one tab at a time because I can't be bothered to bookmark every single page separately and then go through hundreds of tabs in my Unsorted bookmarks in order to sort those bookmarks. It is simple inconvenient to sort every bookmark individually that is why the previous version of Firefox with the Bookmark All Tabs button was superior in its convenience.

Right click any tab and choose "Bookmark All Tabs".

hello, this sounds a bit as if the ctrl-key on your keyboard is constantly pressed - maybe it's a hardware issue, can you try with a different keyboard?

Since latest Firefox automatic update, any downloaded jpg is saved as a firefox file and I cannot save as a jpg. Why?? Help please!!

Since the latest FF automatic update - any jpg I send to myself I cannot save as a jpg. This is so frustrating. I use my camera phone to take shots of our library activities and then to make newsletters, website updates etc. Just started this week. Today is the first day I noticed this problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today 7/28/10

You can rename the files and give them a .jpg file extension.
You can force that while saving the file if you add quotes around the name: "image.jpg"

I cannot use evernote on FireFox 4 due to when I try to save the page

I cannot use evernote on FireFox 4 due to when I try to save a page the Evernote login tab shows asking for my name and password. Unfortunately it will not take higher case letters which then will not let me log in using firefox. I can use Evernote on its own using my mac application.

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

Ever since upgrading to OS 10.7.2 I cannot save MacFamilyTree documents. They don't support autosave and versions. On 'Save' the dialogue says "WebsterNZFamilyTree.mftpk" could not be saved. Symium, the developer, has not been able to solve this

I also cannot Save As the file to another volume to keep working in that way. I have a MacBook pro (mid 2010) 2.66GHz Core i7, 8GB RAM.

I have the same problem. I have not used this sofware recently and was annoyed that it now seems to useless. Is the solution to upgrade and hope or get new software. If its the latter anyone got ant suggestions?

Why firefox cannot save print file in win64 bit?

In this windows ,I cannot save any print file.(like Adobe PDF,XPC Document Writer,...) my computer goes to hang.(unknown problem) before I can type file name to save my computer.
But I can print web page to my printer.
So I reset print config in about:config.(in my 2 PC) but no difference.
But in 32 bit version windows, is working.I checked in windows virtual PC, I can save print file.
Could you check and resolve this problem?

It's probably a JavaScript problem, since those pop-up windows are controlled by JavaScript code. That's not uncommon with Safari. It's likely the JavaScript coding is suspect; Safari seems to be especially sensitive to that.

After Mountain Lion update I cannot save iMail photos to iPhoto anymore, how do I solve this?

I just did the update for Mountain Lion and now I cannot save attached photos directly from an e-mail into my iPhoto. I was able to do it before without any problems. Is there a fix for this.

As of 2012-10-11, with all the available fixes installed (10.8.2 + supplemental update and iPhoto 9.4.1), this problem is still present. I have confirmed it on three different machines, all of which had all of the latest updates installed.
Hopefully Apple will address this soon enough — I have no problem working around this issue myself, but my mother found it much more challenging.

My bookmarks are disappearing/reappearing randomly and I cannot save new ones

Since this morning 8/17 I have had an odd problem with my bookmarks. Initially both my Blogs and News and Views sub-folders came up empty while nothing else was affected and the bookmarks in them were not to be found elsewhere. Later, after a reboot, I was able to get back some but by no means all of the ones in those folders. I also cannot save any new bookmarks (which would have solved the problem since I can look up the websites I'm currently missing). Also the history/show all button brings up the bookmark menu but it is not saving anything as 'show all today' comes up empty.
The only thing I can think of was that last night, while trying to solve an unrelated problem, I went to tools>options>privacy and cleared my history from there. Unfortunately, I was not having this problem right after that although I rebooted my computer afterwards.
I just updated firefox a few minutes ago so it isn't an upgrade issue, I think.
What the heck is going on?

It sounds like the file that stores bookmarks and History may be damaged. See [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite Locked or damaged places.sqlite - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
