The Downloads window doesn't display information since the last Firefox update

I had to register a new help account just to get here.
Your broser has been fucking up like crazy since the last update. I have been having nothing but problems logging into multiple sites. Sites would log me out randomly, then I wouldn';t be able to log back in. I tried to make an account on a new site and had to try 11 damn times before it went through. and just now, when I tried to ask a troubleshooting question, my username and password wouldn't work. So I sent a password reset request. Nothing happened. I sent at least FIVE password reset requests. None of them has gone through. When I tried to enter a different username, thinking maybe that was the problem, as soon as I re-typed it and clicked anywhere outside the name space, it'd revert to the name that was previously there. What the hell!?
I haven't even gotten to the problem I originally wanted to contact you about!
The downloads window no longer works. I download a file, I click on 'Downloads' to see how long it'll be, I see nothing. Plain, blank white. And yes, I know some files download so quickly they're gone before I can open the window. I'm talking about large several-megabyte videos and disk images. No indication that they're downloading at all.
All this has happened since 19.0 installed. Do I have to disable updates from now on to keep the browser working properly!?

Alco, that was ''sort of'' helpful.
I changed the default value to 2, and that at least made a download appear in the download window. However, if I close the window and reopen it, it's blank again. And it won't show more than one download going at once. AND I can't pause or cancel downloads.
I really don't want to reset Firefox, but I suppose I will if I have to.

    Ohh thanks guys!
    It worked as a charm, and thanks Brisbin33 for the autostart.sh tip.
    So the thing that caused my whole system not to work as it should was that I forgot to put a "&" after conky?
    haha that´s kinda anoying I have been sitting and looking through like a milllion files looking for the answer
    But again, really thanks!
    /Neuwerld
    that little "&" sends the conky process to the background freeing up the current process (your autostart.sh script) to finish doing what it's doing so you can move on to running openbox itself.  with this in mind, it should be obvious why keeping conky in the foreground would cause problems.
    also, replacing it with (sleep 1 && conky) & means... wait a second, when that's done successfully (&&) run conky, and put all of that () to the background.  that way openbox comes up immediatly and only a second later you've got your panel and monitor.
    all this after .xinitrc and before openbox

    Hello. Since my last firefox update, I have been unable to type an email - the box within which one would usually type does not appear when I press 'reply' to a received email, or press 'compose'. The email provider is '123-reg.co.uk. I have been using both firefox and the provider ['webfusion Ltd/webmail123] successfully for well over a year. The provider says it is a browser problem. I can still add an attachment to the email header, which successfully can be sent, but the recipient gets my standard email 'signature' with font messages and the attachment. Can anyone help? My email addresses are [email protected] [this is the one with the issue] and [email protected] in English
    == today

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • How can I keep the download window plus a status bar in the bottom side of my navigator?

    I downloaded firefox 4 today and the first thing I noticed is that my status bar for downloads at the bottom side of my navigator it's gone! so I downloaded a plugin called "statusbar" and I don't like it at all... it is nothing like my old status bar and it takes away my big download window (the one that you can see even if you minimize the navigator); how can I make it back??
    I like to have both things (the big window and the status bar) and I can't make it back using the options of the plugin.
    Besides that, if I have the new statusbar it doesn't advice me when the download ends (that note that pops up when it's over saying "download finished" really useful when you're watching a video on fullscreen) and I can't change that either from the plugin options!
    I know that not every plugin are made by firefox so if you can't help me please let me know anyway so I can go back to the latest firefox version to have my big downoloads window plus the statusbar at the bottom and the note all at a time!
    THANK YOU!!
    =)

    Hi piepkorg-
    Does your Add-ons manager show the weather toolbar as being installed? I would recommend starting with this article- particularly the sections on managing Add-ons and troubleshooting:
    [[Using plugins with Firefox]]
    Hope that helps!

  • I am having problems opening pages in safari. the rotating wheel at the right end of the address window doesn't stop even after the page has filled up. then if i try to open other pages it gets stuck and won't open them.

    I started having problems opening pages today. When first open a page it seems to download the page OK, but the rotating wheel on the right-hand end of the address field keeps rotating after the page is completely filled up. Then if I try to open other pages it becomes slower and eventually stops filling-in the pages, while the rotating wheel keeps rotating.
    I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac, or what is going on. Help will be geatly appreciated.

    When was the last time you emptied the Safari cache?
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that didn't make a difference, go back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
    And how much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space. Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    If emptying cache or resetting didn't help and there's enough free space on the startup disk, login to another user account, launch Safari. Same problems there indicates a system wide problem. Log back into your admin account so you can check the startup disk.
    Launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utilities
    Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac
    Nothing should "download" to your Mac unless you initiate the download yourself. You can check the Downloads folder from the Safari > Window menu or your Downloads folder in the Finder.

  • Keeps coming up that I need to update the FF 4.0 but when I click the update button & then the apply update button after the download it doesn't apply & just come back up to update firefox

    I have FireFox 4.0 it comes up and says that it needs to be updated, when I click the (NEXT) button & it does the contacting server/downloading the update. I click the apply update button & the fire fox window closes & the status bar come up with the installing the updates & will restart firefox in a moment. However once the window restarts, the notice that firefox needs to be updated come back. When I click the (next) button to download the update, the cycle begins.
    I clicked the HELP link at the top of the window & then the ABOUT FIREFOX to see if there might be multiple updates, but it's the same one each time "modzilla firefox yahoo edition yahoo 1.8"
    I love fire fox & until now have never had a problem when it comes to installing the updates.

    Well I went to the Tools/options/and general section & clicked on the restore default for the home page. However I am still having the same issue.

  • Downloads are deleted immediately after download. The download history is there in the download window but cannot be opened because the download is not there.

    Any download handled by the downloader in firefox will result in it downloading ok, but it is immediately deleted by the downloader, I assume. I have tried everything to get a Realted AC97 driver dowloaded but have failed. I even downloaded it on a different computer using Internet Explorer and then emailed it to myself in yahoo mail. It arrived intact but when Yahoo downloaded it the Firefox downloader takes over and the same thin happens again. The source of the download doesn't have anything to do with the problem.

    I haven't found a reason yet for this problem, but MS IE9 does the same thing - sort of. Except that IE sends a message after download that "the file contained a virus and was deleted." Very frustrating. Have done virus scan, malwarebytes scan, disabled antivirus and firewall - same result.
    Solution: download and install Chrome (sorry Firefox, better figure this one out). Problem does not occur with Google Chrome.

  • Running executable as a service, the front panel doesn't display properly upon the second logon.

    I am running a LabView executable as a service.  When I logon the first time, I see the front panel correctly.  When I logoff, the service still runs properly.  If I logon a second time, the frontpanel never fills in.  (I see the desktop through the front panel).  The service still runs, but when I click on any menu, the computer freezes.  Any suggestions?  (Other than not logging on twice)

    Hi chach,
    I hate to say it, but I'm surprised it even runs once.  If you check out:
    this link
    It says the following:
    "The service must run without a user interface."
    As the article mentions, you could still have a separate front panel that communicates with the service, but the service itself probably doesn't have an accessible front panel.

  • I can no longer open a blank new tab by clicking on the +on the far right of my tabs. And I cannot open a new tab using CTRL T either. This has been happening since your last firefox update!

    Prior to one of recent upgrades in late September, I was able to open a new tab but using the + on the right unused tab. This does absolutely nothing now. I have even tried the CTRL T function and it does not work either.

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbGAM1/3.13.1.18107

  • The downloads window does not open

    I am running Beta 4.0b7 and whilst I am able to download files I cannot see the downloads window.
    I have tried selecting the window via tools and downloads but it does not appear. However, after doing this it is listed in the 'window' menu, although it still does not appear if I click.
    I have already followed Mozilla's troubleshooting on this issue but to no avail. It does not show up in Safe Mode either
    Any help appreciated.

    You can try to delete the file downloads.sqlite in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]

  • Ff 26 just installed an update and now downloads do not appear in the download window.

    I've tried several solutions recommended to people who had this problem in prior versions but none of them work. It does not matter whether I display downloads in a separate window or sidebar. The downloads are actually happening in the background (when I open windows explorer the file is listed in the folder) and the download window is there, but nothing about the file or its status appears in the window.
    I use Download Manager Tweak 0.9.8 open in a sidebar but the problem persists when I have downloads open in a separate window.

    I was using the add-on Download Manager Tweak 0.9.8 rather than the native FF download manager and just discovered that Tweak will not work with FF 26. The Tweak download window stays blank even if files are downloading. When I downloaded and re-installed FF 25.0.1 my downloads showed up in my download window again as they always did before the upgrade to FF 26.
    Can the Mozilla FF team track down what caused this problem and correct it so that Tweak will work again or at least contact the provider of Tweak to try to find a fix?

  • Firefox 3.6.6 not listing my downloads in the Downloads window.

    Firefox 3.6.6 not listing my downloads in the Downloads window. It's blank--but the file DO download.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == When I downloaded 3.6.6

    This same thing is happening with v3.6.6 -- can someone PLEASE fix this CRITICAL bug.
    It makes Firefox USELESS for developers if we can't resolve names.
    I just don't understand why this would break. Why doesn't Firefox use the DNS that the operating system clearly knows about (ping, IE, hosts, etc.)
    THIS WORKED IN 3.6.3 -- YOU BROKE IT IN 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 !!!

  • Is there a way to open the main browser when only the download window is open ?

    Many times I have closed the browser by accident, or when to many windows are open and just cleaning up... normally this happens when a download is being done and then when trying to open the browser again it is not allowed for an instance is already running. Is there a way to open the browser back up just from the download window ?? This does cause the pausing and retry of the download of course, but when doing large files ... gigers, many times I have lost it completely, is there a way around this besides the obvious do not close ?

    I know of no way to re-open Firefox in your case. However, you can set a preference that will give you a pop-up message when a download is in progress, then you have 2 options presented; continue with closing Firefox which will cancel the download or cancel closing Firefox and the download will continue. This way one last Firefox browser window remains open along with the download window.
    To have Firefox warn you when a download is in progress and you choose File > Exit, change a preference:
    #type '''about:config''' in the URL/location bar and press the Enter key
    #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #Filter = browser.download.manager.quitBehavior
    #right-click (OSX: Cmd+click) on that preference
    #choose Modify
    #enter a new value of 2
    #click OK
    #you may need to restart Firefox for the change to take effect

  • How do I restrict number of downloads at a single time in the download window?

    How do I restrict number of downloads at a single time in the download window?
    I want to restrict the number of downloads at a time. Other downloads should be in a queue. For example, if I restrict as 5 downloads are available at a time, the 6th download should be in a queue and should start any one of the download is completed. And the next download should resume ... and so on. So at any point of time only 5 (or it should be specified) downloads should be possible. Is there any settings can be done in FireFox for this? Please help.

    Firefox 3.0.15 is no longer supported. You should upgrade to a new version.

  • Is there a way to have the download window not open when downloading attachments?

    Every time I download an attachment, the downloads window opens and it slows down the client. Is there a way to download the attachments, without having the download window open all the time?

    ''Matt [[#answer-680186|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    No it does not slow down anything, your anti virus scanning on the other hand is probably the real reason for the slowdown.

    I do not run anti virus, because I am running on Linux Mint 17.1. Cinnamon desktop
