The display the progress of ongoing downloads is not working on firefox

The balls are rotating, I go to save the file but for some reason, the download display arrow wont light up and the file wont save.
Here's an example. I went to this video on you tube.
As I click on the download helper all the files are there.
Yet when I go to save the file (into my download folder, normal the green arrow would light up and the file would download.) nothing happens anymore. The download progress section is empty and the arrow is grey.

I'm having the EXACT same problem! Even the (1) or (2) or (3) is shown. But nothing is downloading. Problem started about 24 hours ago.

  • RealPlayer download feature not working in Firefox (but works in IE)

    Realplayer download feature (cursor over a youtube video, "download this video" pops up) has recently quit working for me (I've been using it for months). I've searched knowledge bases and forums extensively and tried all the suggestions., such as rolling back from Flash Player 11.5 to 10.3 (no luck), disabling/enabling RealPlayer Download plugin in Firefox (no luck), etc. The one suggestion I'd like to try but can't is going into RealPlayer preferences and enabling/disabling the "Download and Record" function. I can't because all I have in my preferences is "Recording" and the options have nothing to do with downloading. None of the RealNetworks/RealPlayer support sites are helpful at all...
    However, the download feature works just fine in Internet Explorer

    Realplayer download does not work in Firefox. Someone suggested ant.com as an add-on. That works.
    For youtube I use YTD downloader (a youtube product). It is more reliable for youtube videos.

  • The display brightness on my macbook pro is not working

    I just bought a macbook pro in June and the display brightness keys are not working, nor is there a scale I can find in the system preferences to adjust the lighting level across the screen. Why is that and how do I fix it?

    Go to System Preferences>Displays. You can adjust brightness there. Also make sure that the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as function keys" are unchecked in the Keyboard preferences.

  • I just downloaded the latest Windows updates, now videos online will not work on Firefox but will on other browsers, anyone else having this problem?

    After downloading the latest Windows updates I found that I could not play videos on YouTube or at other sites. Switching to other browsers I found I could play those same videos now without any problem. So I did a System Restore to determine if the Windows updates had affected video play using Firefox. The restore point was set to the day before the Windows download occurred. After System Restore was completed I could now play videos using the Firefox browser.
    To make sure that the Windows update was the problem, I again downloaded the newest Windows Updates and once again could not play videos on any site using Firefox. System restore was used to again reset my computer to the day before and once again the videos would ow play in the Firefox browser.

    Actually your reply took me in another direction and I found this on the Adobe site:
    The RealPlayer extension for Firefox, Downloading & Recording, has compatibility issues with Flash Player 11.3. If RealPlayer is installed Flash Player content does not appear. YouTube provides an error message when you try to watch a video.
    As a workaround, do the following:
    Start RealPlayer.
    Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
    Select Download & Recording in the left menu and deselect Enable Web Download & Recording for These Installed Browsers option.
    Click OK and restart Mozilla Firefox.
    Once I followed this I could now again play videos in Firefox.

  • Why doesn't the "auto fill" feature of my google bar not work with Firefox 4 ???

    Google bar's "auto fill" feature worked EVERY TIME with the last version of Firefox, but works rarely with Firefox 4. ????
    I have reinstalled my google bar AND Firefox 4, but that didn't help.

    We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
    #In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
    #From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
    #Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
    #Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!
    You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

  • Download mangers not working in firefox 4

    I tried both download managers and neither works. I tried downloading different things, like software and videos, and both times they went straight to desktop.
    Am I supposed to change something to get the download manager to automatically download all files I want to download?

    Never mind. I removed them and installed the download manager tweak

  • Battlelog (for battlefield 3) does not work with Firefox 15.0.1. It works fine with the older Firefox 14.0.1

    The flash features on the Battlefield 3 site - battlelog.battlefield.com do not work when Firefox updates itself to 15.0.1 It does not load the pages correctly or does it let you select/ click on anything in the flash parts. When I uninstalled 15.0.1 and reinstalled Firefox 14.0.1 I unchecked the option to let firefox re-upgrade itself and battlelog works fine.

    I do not wish you to break Firefox on Battelfield 3, but have you tried using the latest version of Flash Player. You should also remember that using outdated versions of Firefox increases security risks to your computer and personal data.
    You may get an answer to this sort of question faster by asking on a forum related to that game site, (and if you do please post back with the solution preferably with a link).
    Possibly you could consider using Firefox 15 and later as the day to day browser, and Firefox 14 only for the problem games.
    *The simplest way to do that may be to install Firefox portable (I assume that will run a Firefox 14 version)
    * A better way would be to install multiple versions of Firefox. That is often considered advanced, but I imagine most experienced computer users could do it easily (I can provide links to instructions). That has the advantage that the problem could be looked at a bit more closely, possibly even filing a bug if it appears to be a Firefox regression causing the problem.

  • I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

    I keep getting the message: "what should Firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

    cor-el,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

  • After the updating firefox 5.0 the internet download manager not working (not compatible) can you explan why?

    After the updating fire fox 5.0 the internet download manager not working (not compatible) can you explain why?

    Add-on developers need to keep up with new versions of Firefox as they are released and update their product. Have you checked with IDM to see if they have an update for you to install? Or ask them when they are going to have an update ready for 5.0.
    Another thing you could do is to install FlashGot. <br />
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashgot/ <br />
    http://flashgot.net/ <br />
    The developer of Flashgot, Giorgio Maone, keeps his extensions compatible with versions of Firefox that are still in development - future release versions.

  • I can't update or Re install the new Firefox on my win 8.1 system. The setup up that downloaded is not working, why?

    The setup up that downloaded is not working.

    If the file has "stub" in the name, it needs to connect back to the server for additional files. Some firewalls block that. Try installing the full installer from the following page (scroll down for your preferred language):

    Any luck?
