Warning on close when downloading

How can I get a warning if I close Firefox 4 whilst a download is it progress - I thought I had this in FF3.6.

You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page.
That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.download.manager.quitBehavior
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

In the 20.0.1 update, I noticed when you accidentally close your window your browsing it automatically closes your downloads. Can I bypass this?

In the 20.0.1 update, I noticed when you accidentally close your window your browsing it automatically closes your downloads. Previous versions when you close your window and reopen Firefox your downloads are unaffected until your downloads are finished or you cancel it yourself. Is there a setting I can set that my downloads are unaffected when I close my window.

Download connections doesn't close after I cancel the download, it keep like I am download and only close when I disable the network adapter or reset the router or the firewall

download connections doesn't close after I cancel the download, it keep like I am downloading and only close when I disable the network adapter or reset the router or the firewall.
I use pfsense as my firewall and see the traffic not reseting to zero when I cancel download.
Also, IE doesn't have this problem. When I cancel the download the traffic drops to zero.

And this problem seems to be systemwide. Since I created a new user and under which problem still exists.
Hope apple will look into it

Downloaded JPG Files Have Security Warning When Downloaded with FF 14.0.1

Since updating to FF14.0.1, JPG files that are downloaded from the internet display "Open File - Security Warning" "Unknown Publisher" when double clicked to open. I can disable the warning for individual files, but would rather have it global for all since JPG file are a low security risk. They do open without the warning when downloaded within IE8. I couldn't find any FF security settings that may affect this issue.

I'm not aware of any changes in Firefox 14 relating to this feature, but there are dozens of changes in each release, so I certainly can't rule it out.
Is the E drive a partition on your hard drive, RAM disk, removable storage? Just wondering whether it might be treated differently than the C drive for some reason. But IE and Firefox should be consistent, since this is all about Windows' internal security controls...

Firefox closes "Save As" window on some web sites when downloading

On some web sites, such as Scribd or PC World, Firefox will quickly force shut the "Save As" window when downloading. It happens so quickly that I barely have time to see the "Save As" window. The same web site on IE will not cause this to happen. I have done a web search and tried several of their tips, but the same thing happens on Firefox when I try to download from those sites. This problem started in Firefox 3 and is continuing in Firefox 4. Adjusting settings in or disabling AVG Internet Security does not work either.

Only security software (probably anti-virus software or the firewall) would show such a message if it was a Windows message, so you can check it there.
If it is a message from a Firefox extension then see this:

Hi bently520,

Firefox crashing when downloading pictures.

Whenever I try to download a picture file (.pgn, .jpg etc), Firefox stops working and I either have to wait for it to close or terminate the process myself. Picture files will be downloaded despite of Firefox crashing, and they are not corrupted or incomplete. It may not crash when downloading other files types, but those files will not even be downloaded even though it shows as finished in Firefox.
I also deleted downloads.sqlite like the troubleshooting told me and tested it, I have tried to delete everything Mozilla on my computer and reinstall it, and I have started it with all extension turned off, but it's the same.

I did tell it to delete everything during the uninstallation, but even then there were a few files left which I deleted manually.
The rest of my information can be viewed on the right side, by clicking More System Details. If not, here it is. Some is in Norwegian, but you'll make out what is what; most is in English.

Using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
Library/Application support/conduit plugins
Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

Either there's no "Open or save as"-Popup, when downloading files (although it's set in preferences) or nothing happens when I click "save as". Please help me. I'm using Iceweasel 7.0.

In my preferences I have enabled:
- Show the downloads window when downloading a file
- Always ask me where to save files

No, I just wonder, if only mods (or something) can close a topic, but ok, I see I can now click "solved it" next to your post. Seems like someone has to post something.^^

I am having a problem when downloading a file. What can I do?

Today (April 8, 2011) when I tried to download a file (.zip) firefox froze. When firefox got to the download window (i.e where you choose to save the file onto you computer) it froze. It wouldn't save the file, nor would it let me close the download window and cancel the download. This has happen twice this year. I had to force quit the program. I am on the latest version of Mac OS X and firefox 3.6.16.

I'm getting a Download Error warning after attempting to download and install CC. No error code – just a button prompt to Reload Applications which takes me straight back to the Download Error. All my previously installed CC apps work fine but I need to upgrde to be compatible with colleagues. Thanks

I'm having exactly the same problem......I'm running an iMac with OS X 10.10.1. We have BT fibre optic business broadband. Everything has been running just fine until about 2 weeks ago when the apps in my CC panel just disappeared. I have made no changes to our systems and I am the only person to administer it all.....

I have a problem that I can not load or even close the download in iTunes, it turns out I have hanging in the mode, and because of that I can't download from AppStore, because it turns out that the other programs I have on standby. What do I do? Thank you

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
 Cheers, Tom

TS1368 When downloading the latest updateI get an error message MSVCR80.dll is missing

I have come up against an error created when downloading the latest update to itunes. This does not download and if you follow the instructions of going to tools and download manually then update it creates an error message of MSVCR80.dll is missing please reinstall and try again. This error message comes up all the time and to get around it I have had to reboot my system from a previous saved date and not do the latest download. I am now trying to get my itunes account sorted but it will let me access my music however, when I try to view the movies I have purchased it states itunes is not working properly and closes it down. I tried to email itunes but it said I had to use internet explorer which I was using, I had to download firefox and then delete all the rubbish which came with it before it would allow me to send them an email with my problems, what a joke! I am now losing all confidence in itunes and the latest downloads. So disappointing when it was working so well until now!

How do i stop firefox from blocking my taskbar when downloading?

Every time I download anything using Firefox, the downloads dialogue box blocks use of both my popup taskbar or the side to side scroll bar making me clear the downloads list EVERY TIME I do a download. I hate that the previous version of Firefox did this, and see that no one has bothered to fix this annoying glitch in the new version. It's maddening trying to save large pics as you can't see them until you clear the downloads list.

The downloads manager is a regular dialog box, unlike the door hanger variety, so you can put it wherever you want it. You can resize it, and the resizing should stick on subsequent usage. You can toggle it on or off anytime with "Ctrl+J", and you have some control when it appears automatically or closes automatically.
Tools > Options > General > (Downloads section)...
If you are still using the "Firefox" button introduced in Firefox 4
"Firefox" button > Options (2nd column) > Options > (Downloads section)...
Mine is set as follows
[x] Show the Downloads window when downloading a file
[_] Close it when all downloads are finished
I'm on high speed access so if I download something, I'm probably waiting for it so don't mind the window.
