Update 27.0 causes downloads to go to the wrong location

I want downloads to go to my RAMdisk (not surprisingly, R:\), but since the update to v27, all downloads go to C:\Users\Me\Downloads. My Options are set correctly, I've double-checked my Profile location (I:\Firefox\Profiles), and all Bookmarks and Extensions are perfectly fine - it's just the download location that is messed up.
Is this a universal issue with v27 (unlikely) or has a fix been found (hopefully)?

"regression" is right. I can see not wanting to download to the root of a system disk, but a logical drive... Unfortunate.
But your solution is 100% accurate, and I thank you both for your time and speedy replies!
** Read the bug report, and this says it all:
The bug is present on Firefox 27 final.
Firefox 27 cannot save files to any root directory by default, except for Windows drive root directory.
'''Firefox 26 and earlier could. Lots of people will find out the hard way about this bug starting today.''' I hope it gets fixed and 27.0.1 gets released as soon as possible with this bug fixed in it.
Yup [;-)

Launching Microsoft Access from Internet Explorer to view a downloaded MDB file opens the wrong file (not a problem if I use Firefox)

When clicking on a link (in Internet Explorer 9) to download an Access MDB file and then choosing to open the file directly in Microsoft Access (2007) instead of saving it, the file is copied to Temporary Internet Files but Microsoft Access tries to open
a different file and displays an (Unrecognized database format) error.
When I click on the option to open the file, the MDB file is copied to Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 but instead of that file, Access tries to open a different (incorrect) file located in Temporary Internet Files\Content.MSO (e.g. in the above error
message, NativeView.do is an XML file containing an error message).
I don't see this problem with Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. When opening a Word file (without saving) the Word file is copied to Content.IE5 but an identical .tmp file is created in Content.MSO which when opened in Microsoft Word displayed the required file
correctly. The same happens for Excel files. PowerPoint appears to be handled a little differently (no .tmp file created in Content.MSO but the required file is still copied to Content.IE5) but the PPT file is still opened correctly in Microsoft PowerPoint.
I think the Content-Type "application/msaccess" is fine because Internet Explorer does launch Microsoft Access. It just tries to open the wrong file (or so I think). However, it looks like the file type is not being determined. Here is what I noticed
when trying to open different Microsoft Office files using Internet Explorer:
The last one is the MDB file. As you can see, only for this type of file, the "Type" (Microsoft Office Access 2007?) is not displayed in this Open/Save dialog box.
On Firefox, I don't see this problem. When I tried clicking on the link to the MDB file in Firefox, Microsoft Access was launched and the file was opened correctly. Is there something I can do so the MDB file is opened properly using IE? I can add/change headers
in the HTTP response that writes this file to the output stream (on disk) if that helps.
Thanks for your time!

Sounds like a problem symptom to be discussed in either an IE forum or an Access forum, not here. How did you come to post here? ForumsRedesign. That might be an on-topic issue for this forum. <eg>
Can you find your way to either of those other forums easily from here? Another on-topic question for here I think. ; )

David,
To switch, I am afraid you will have to reinstall using the other one.
But that should hardly be necessary.

Downloads just disappear from the specified location such as "Desktop" or "My Documents".They are untraceable afterwards.Why does this happen?And because of this I have uninstalled Firefox and now use Chrome.

I have been using Firefox for almost a year now,and had upgraded to Version 7 recently.
My problem started with the downloads.
1) When a download is to be commenced,a box appears with two options,namely "SAVE" and "CANCEL".
Even when I click on "SAVE",the the box shows it as 'cancelled'.When I right click on the box,another dialogue box appears with a number of choices ,the top one reads 'RETRY'.
When I click this option the download starts and it is shown in the chosen location until 99% is completed,bu the moment the download is complete,the item i.e. the downloaded item just disappears from the chosen location and is not traceable thereafter.This has happened to me repeatedly over the past week or so and I am so disgusted that I have been compelled to uninstall Firefox,and have started using Chrome.
Please help,as I would like to get back to using Firefox again but without the above problems.

Understood. However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question. It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point. Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
The point is that it's not secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode. It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office). Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
(1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
(2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
(3) Off.

Linux: downloaded files open with the wrong application

I'm using Firefox 31.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.
I've downloaded a DJVU-file. The filetype association on my PC is to open it in evince. However, when I use the drop-down download menu in the toolbar, where the last downloads are listed, to open the DJVU file, it is opened with gedit. If I select "Show All Downloads" and double-click the downloaded DJVU in the window that opens up, then it is correctly opened in evince.
What happens here? Why does Firefox use gedit for the drop-down list but the correct application in the library window? How can I fix this?

Thank you for your reply!
Well, this is not precisely what I wanted to do: my option in the Application settings is set to "Always ask", and this is what I would like Firefox to do. However, after the file is saved, I expect that it is opened with my system's default application for DJVU files, but Firefox just keeps opening it with the text editor (gedit) if I click on the file in the download drop-down menu in the toolbar.
Meanwhile, I have figured out how to fix it, however I find that this should work from the beginning without having to fix it.
The problem was that in the application settings there was no default application set for that file type, although my system specifies one (see first picture).
After I have selected "User other..." and set it to my preferred programme for DJVU files (evince), the menu has changed (see second picture). Now, even if I leave the option "Always ask" set, the correct application is used for opening that file type.
There are several questions which I am wondering about:
1) Why is this not set to system's default application if the user has not manually specified anything else? I think using the text editor instead is not the best option.
2) Why is the behavior in the downloads window (="Library") different from the drop-down menu? Even with the default programme not set in the applications preferences, clicking on the file in the downloads windows opens system's default programme.
I am not sure if this is the desired behavior, for me it seems slightly inconsistent.

Firefox downloads a file with the wrong file extension. How can I fix this?

The title says it all. When I download files, it comes out with the wrong extension, not sure what extension it comes out as.
It actually just comes out as "file."
How can I fix this? Is there something in about:config I can tweak to eliminate this error?

Hi dartz!
This type of problems are not related with the browser you are using, in this case, Firefox. This issues are the consequence of the way that the website "packed" the file.
What you should do is download the file, locate the file, give right click on the file and select "Rename". Now, don't change the name!!! Just add "." and then the extension that you wanted. Example, you download the file "norwegianwood", after renaming it, it should read "norwegianwood.srt".
Hope this works for you, take care!

Just updated iPhone iOS and it is asking for the wrong AppleID. How do I change it if I can't get into the iPhone?

I just updated the iPhone iOS. I get the Hello Screen. It asks me to choose a WiFi. Then it takes me to a login but it has the WRONG AppleID listed. I changed the AppleID months ago. I do not have the password for the old ID, and I have no access to that email account to reset it. What the heck do I do? I can't get past this step.

UPDATE: Problem solved! Just got off the phone with Apple support. It only took all of about 10 minutes tops to fix, which was great. I think it was relatively painless because I never changed my password. Even when I changed email addresses/Apple IDs, my password never changed. So if there was an old password that you no longer remembered associated with the old Apple ID, I imagine that could be trickier.
These were the steps:
Settings --> Messages --> Send & Recieve --> tap old Apple ID --> Sign Out
Settings --> Facetime --> Send & Recieve --> tap old Apple ID --> Sign Out
Settings --> Messages --> Send & Recieve --> log-in with current Apple ID
Settings --> Facetime --> Send & Recieve --> log-in with current Apple ID
Settings --> iTunes & App Store --> he had me verify that it was showing my current Apple ID, which it was, so we didn't need to mess with anything there
Settings --> iCloud --> it was still showing the old Apple ID and wouldn't let me change it (it was grayed out), so he had me scroll down and Delete Account. This is where I think I needed to enter my password, but fortunately it was the same as always, so no problem there.
-- Select "Keep data on my iPhone" or something like that
Then:
Settings --> iCloud --> log-in with your current Apple ID/iCloud account.
-- Select "Merge" so it syncs everything up.
All done!
Good luck to anyone else who has this very annoying little issue! Hope it's as relatively painless to fix as it was for me.

Itunes update always fails during download - it gets to the last 3 mb or so and hangs until I cancel it. Any idea how to fix?

iTunes fails to update. During download, it gets to last (presunambly) package and hangs at last 3 Mb. I have left it for days, it won't complete. Any idea how to fix?

This is a common issue. Temporarily disable the Anti-Virus and Firewall software on the computer.

HT201401 unable to update my apps or download new ones from the store (iphone4)

unable to update apps or download new after entering password

What happens when trying to download a new app or an app update via iTunes on the computer?
Basic troubleshooting for iDevices is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

Iphone 4 will not allow me to update any apps or download anything from either the app store or itunes.

I get a message telling me "Cannot connect to itunes store". It worked fine until last night. I've tried deleting all settings, and no change.
I downloaded a couple of apps on Tuesday with no issues, but then on Wednesday evening the error occured.
I have recently changed the email address that acts as my apple ID, but that was at the weekend and I had no issues until Wednesday.
I can however download podcasts through the podcast app.
Anyone have any suggestions? fixes?

Yes, I had thought about the general reset thing, what implications will that have on data/email accounts etc ?
Reset All Settings won't hurt any of your data, just erase preferences.
From the iPhone User Guide: Reset all settings: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
When you setup the iPhone as a new device, it's like you just pulled the iPhone out of the box. All apps will have to be installed again and you'll have to recreate the data, unless the app pulls it from somewhere on the web.

I downloaded a movie to the wrong library by accident. now i can't put the movie on my husband's ipod because it says it can only sync to one library at a time. how do i fix this? i don't want to get rid of the old videos, i just want to add new ones

i really don't know what i did wrong. i logged into itunes using my husband's id, then bought some movies. but for some reason, it downloaded them to my library, not his. now i can't put them on the ipod. is there any way to get them out of my library and into his library? i tried home sharing, but it still won't let me sync them to the ipod

Copy the movie from the current library to the correct library.
iDevices can only sync to one library at a time.

I updated my phone but it's asking for the wrong apple ID email. It is the same account, I just changed the email it is linked to.

In the iTunes & App Stores section of my Settings it is under the correct email address. For iCloud settings, though, it is under an email address that is so incredibly old I haven't used it in years. You can't change the Apple ID field in the iCloud settings. It is greyed out. How do I get it to change? It keeps alerting me constantly that it can't update because I'm not signed in.

Settings>iCloud>Delete Account.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Add Account>Sign in using the correct username and password.

What can i do if I downloaded a movie in the wrong language?

Apache URL redirect causes APEX to point to the wrong images folder

Hello All,
I am using the following in httpd.conf
Redirect / http://hostname/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard
When I try accessing APEX the application can't locate the image folder. For example instead of looking for e2.gif in
http://hostname/i/e2.gif
it's looking for the images in
http://hostname/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboardi/e2.gif
How do I point APEX to the correct image folder?
Thanks
Fiston

Hi, Fiston
try using RedirectMatch directive
RedirectMatch ^/$ http://hostname/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard
or maybe
RedirectMatch ^/$ /analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard

Michael

My IPhone 5c won't let me download apps because it says I have the wrong billing adress. I have the right adress so how do I fix it?

I just downloaded the new iOS 7.0.3 software and it told me to download iCloud. So I did and now I can't download or update my apps because it says I have the wrong billing address. I know I have the right billing address. How do I fix the problem?

You can authorise your account on the Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer drop-down menu at the top of iTunes e.g. :
If you still have your PC then you could also copy the content over from that : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
