When downloading a large file, like a movie Internet Explorer automatically provides one with the choice of where to save it - e.g. "C" drive, but Firefox doesn't. How can it be done?

When downloading a large file, like a movie, Internet Explorer automatically opens a download window offering the choice to "Open" or "Save"the file. This provides one with the choice of where to save it - e.g. "C" drive, in the "My Documents" or "Desktop" folders but Firefox's download window doesn't. This has always frustrated me because I would rather use Firefox exclusively to access the Internet, but when it comes to saving files downloaded off the Internet, sadly, I have to revert to IE!

If you click on Firefox from the upper-left, then Options, a new window should appear. On that window, click on the general tab. In the middle of the window, you'll see options regarding your downloads, one of which says, "Always ask me where to save files." Click on the bubble for this options, then click Ok. From then on, you should always be prompted on where you want your files saved.

  • I have jumped from 5.1 to CC. When I open a file originated in illustrator 5.1 in CC it changes the CMYK breakdown. Have tried colour setting changes in Bridge but still have differences. Help!

    Any warnings when opening the file?
    You might need to reset all warnings in preferences.
    Apart from that itlooks like your color management settings are set to convert into profile. This is absolutely not advisable.

    You appear to have an iPhone 5. Snipsnap 2.4.2, the current version, says it works on iPhone 5, iOS 5.0 or later. Why do you want an out of date version of the app?

    Ask these people what Apps they've installed that provides those features. Once you find out 'buy' those apps, install them and configure them to notify you of that information.

  • When in mail, i would like to move emails to different folders other than the inbox, sent and trash can a folder be created?

    When in mail i would like to move my emails to a different folder on mail account other than the inbox, sent and trash options, can i  create a new folder?

    The suggestion above is for MailBoxes on the Mac in the mail app and have nothing at all to do with the iPad. I think that you are asking about the iPad mail app.
    You need to have an IMAP email account in order to create additional mailboxes on the iPad.
    If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
    If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

  • Can't Upload Large Files (Upload Fails using Internet Explorer but works with Google Chrome)

    I've been experience an issue uploading large (75MB & greater) PDF files to a SharePoint 2010 document library. Using normal upload procedures using Internet Explorer 7 (our company standard for the time being) the upload fails. No error message is thrown,
    the upload screen goes away and the page refreshes and the document isn't there. I tried upload multiple and it says throws a failed error after a while.
    Using google chrome I made an attempt just to see what it did and the file using the "Add a document" uploaded in seconds. Can't figure out why one browser worked and the other doesn't. We are getting sporadic inquiries with the same issue.
    We have previously setup large file support in the appropriate areas and large files are uploaded to the sites successfully. Any thoughts?

    File size upload has to be configured on the server farm level. Your administrator most likely set
    up the limit to size of files that can be uploaded. This size can be increased and you would then be able to upload your documents.

  • I have a 1095 bytes svg file that works in chrome, but Firefox and Internet Explorer somehow remove one of the components, can you fix this?

    The bottom rectangle is missing, if I change the top of that invisible rectangle 1 pixel up or down it becomes a 1 pixel line, very strange.

  • System no longer does session restore but when trying to configure, it does not provide me with the option to show windows and tabs from last session

    Before I updated the latest version of Firefox, every time the browser shuts down in error, I would get the System Restore feature which was really nice. Now, this no longer happens and when I went to configure this ability, it does not even provide me with the option to select to show windows and tabs from the last session. How can I get the restore session feature working again?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

    Hola Jose David, que OPC estas utilizando?, Si tienes comunicación entre tu computadora y PLC pero falla la comunicación entre el OPC y el PLC? La configuración y direcciones entre los dos es correcta? La comunicación es por cable serial?
    Espero tus respuestas

  • Download several large files - get CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR

    Dear all,
    I want to download several large files from the application server to frontend with function module GUI_DOWNLOAD. I use a loop over the several filenames and download the files with following code:
      DATA: l_append        TYPE as4flag,
                 l_count         TYPE i,
                 l_max           type i    value 50000,
                 ls_ziel         TYPE string,
                 ls_download_txt LIKE LINE OF gt_download_txt,
                 lt_download_tmp LIKE gt_download_txt.
      CONCATENATE p_front gs_sel_table-selname '.' 'txt' INTO ls_ziel.
      IF NOT gt_download_txt[] IS INITIAL.
        LOOP AT gt_download_txt INTO ls_download_txt.
          APPEND ls_download_txt TO lt_download_tmp.
          IF l_count = l_max.
    CALL of FUNCTION MODUL GUI_DOWNLOAD    
            REFRESH lt_download_tmp[].
            CLEAR l_count.
            l_append = 'X'.
          ENDIF.
          l_count = l_count + 1.
        ENDLOOP.
    If I only download one large file, there is no problem. But when I want to download more then one file the function module returns the error CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR.
    I can not say at which file the error occurs (2nd, 3rd, ...) I think it depends on the file size. Several smaller files are no problem. At two large files I get the error.
    Does anyone has an idea?
    Kind regards,
    Sven

    byte[] buff = new byte[XXXXX];
    if I want to download a very large size file about 1000 KB.
    response.setContentType(getResponseContent(strFileExtension));

    response.setContentLength(new Long(file.length()).intValue());
    bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
    bos = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
    byte[] buff = new byte[4 * 1024];
    int bytesRead;
    while (-1!=(bytesRead=(bis.read(buff,0,buff.length)))) {
         bos.write(buff,0,bytesRead);
    bos.flush();

    Thanks for information.
