When I go to download something, the site tells me to install it from the Firefox Download Manager. Where is it? It seems like everytime I download something, it disappears without a trace forever.

I have a Windows based computer. I've tried to download a couple of things, and the Firefox download screen pops up and says it was downloaded, but I can never find where it went to. How do I get to where these things downloaded to so I can install them?

Start Firefox, click on the Tools menu item, and then click on Downloads.
This should up a Downloads window which shows you all the downloads you've done - you can, however clear the list or remove individual entries.
If you click on an entry in the Downloads list with your right mouse button, a menu will be displayed. Click on "Open containing folder."
This will open Windows Explorer and show the folder where the file was stored when you downloaded.
If you simply want to execute the download, right click and select Open or just double click on the entry.
In the future, when you download something and Firefox displays the folder window, look at where it is pointing. That is where the file will go.

    When iam using jdownloader for dowload, the firefox did not work at any page, as like`` there in no internet conexion?``

    you need to check whether '''jdownloader''' is compatible with the Firefox version you are using.
    -> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extension section -> check the Status of '''jdownloader''' extension -> if '''an update''' is available for this add-on then install the update -> Restart Firefox and check again check the compatibility -> if it is '''GREYED with Exclamation mark''' then it is incompatible with Firefox
    Try using this extension to force compatibility.

    By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings.  That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere.  It didn't work.

    If I have an airport extreme and a time capsule is it possible for seamless switching between the 2 when a signal is weak or drops
    Main reason is as I move from my first floor to my attic office and would like to place one (airport extreme)downstairs and time capsule upstairs to get complete coverage

    In theory, yes. If you configure the two base station into either an extended or roaming network configuration, you should be able to walk a laptop between routers and the laptop should attempt to connect/reconnect to the base station providing the stronger signal ... but, in reality, this is not always 100% true.

  • When I open Live Mail in the Firefox browser, how often is new mail received? Can I change that? Is there a button to "receive mail?"

    What is the name of the Firefox add-on where you can set multiple links to your favorite web sites on your home page?i used to have it on my old laptop but cant remember what it is called

    You can do that with an extension like the Google Toolbar.

  • Mail.app multiple acct all items in inbox disappeared without a trace

    Mail.app with multiple acct all items in inbox disappeared without a trace
    iCould account
    gmail account
    exchange account
    In all accounts, the Inbox contents totally disappeared, gone without a trace.  Inbox shows 0MB used for each account.  The trash had stuff in it but it didn't have the inbox items.  Get Account Info shows all the other folders have items but nothing the side of the inbox.  What was werid was my mac was running slow even with an SSD things were crawling.  I noticed mail Activity window was processing but thought it standard processing, updating inbox etc. 

    Well thank goodness for time machine.  I was in mail app and clicked on time machine I was able to recover 2 inboxes, one with ~3400 and other with ~1800 messages.  However, time machine is now stuck for over 12 hours on 30,682 messages.  I was able to go back to a few days ago, it loaded all the messages. I was then able to select all of them (I pressed cmd-a) and in a few hours it was then able to process the select all and show me the restore button much like the other two small mail boxes.  But its been stuck at the "Click Restore to recover the 30682 selected messages" screen.  The 12+ hours its been busy hammering away at the disk and CPU.  From what I can see, it may just be trying to process it all.  The previous two smaller restores worked so I'm hoping this one works too.

  • Is there a configuration option to prevent an unprivileged user from accessing the firefox profile manager and/or firefox safe mode?

    I'm designing a locked-down Firefox user profile for use on public computers (common room in an apartment building). I can use existing plugins and add-ons to prevent access to about:config and to lock down the various firefox preferences but this is moot if a user can still access the firefox profile manager or can start firefox in safe mode. Is there any configuration setting that could prevent this?

    Hi...
    Reinstalled 10.7.3 from the Combo Updater from apples website.
    The only way to reinstall the Mac OS X or repair the startup disk running v10.7.3 Lion, is to use Lion Recovery The combo update does not do that.
    How much free space on the startup disk? Not enough free space can account for the problems with your apps.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    and no web-pages will load.
    Try using OpenDNS as suggested here >  Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
    Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser redirects, and it's free.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.

  • When going to my hometown paper's site I get a dropdown banner that says Firefox has prevented this site from reloading ,but when I click on the allow button you have on the banner nothing happens so why is the button there?

    When I go to the local paper's from Elmira,NY and some other sites I get a drop down banner at the top of the page that tell me Firefox has prevented this page from reloading,but when I go to the allow button that you put on the right side of the banner and click on it the banner goes away and then it comes right back. It will come back every time you click allow until I click on the x box. So I want to know why is the allow button there if it does nothing?

    Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced and in the General tab, remove the checkmark from "'''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''".
    You won't get that dropdown banner anymore afterwards.

  • Having lots of problems with my firefox. It does not download when I click unless I restart the firefox many times. It does not open a new windows. Help please!

    2 problems:
    1. Files aren't downloaded when I click download. It only downloads after I restart the firefox many times.
    2. New windows aren't being opened.
    Help please. I've encountered the first problem since way back, but it wasn't this severe, now the downloading is very limited as I have to restart firefox many many times.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    Some security software is also able to block new window.
    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Adobe Flash Player 10 often locks the page when ads are moving, only in the Firefox browser.

    If I for example want to download from www.mediafire.com the page comes up, then the Adobe Flash Player 10 puts up a warning box (before the ads appear in the window) and tells about an Action-script Error:
    SecurityError: Error #2060: Misuse of the security sandbox: ExternalInterface-caller http://cdn.mediafire.com/helper.swf has not entrance to http://www.mediafire.com/?vb3ky92o1vc8s58.
    at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/_initJS()
    at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/call()
    at helper_fla::MainTimeline/getString()
    at helper_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
    If I answer "Continue" the ads come up and I can procede. If not, all will be locked and I have to start the Firefox from the beginning. If I click on some link before saying continue all will be locked as well.

    Same thing here. I updated Flash to 10,2,153,1 installed and cannot load Flash apps like Facebook Scrabble using FF4.0
    I reverted back to FF3.6.16 and it works fine.

  • I've lost my Downloads icon. Its not even in Finder, so I'm baffled!! A little box shows up when I am actually downloading stuff, then disappears. Where has it gone?? CCinNZ

    I've lost my Downloads icon. It's not in Finder or anywhere else I've looked.
    Has anyone found the solution as to where it goes.
    I simply want to drag it back to my Dock.
    Help.

    Not Lost, just leave a downloaded Application or pdf in it and it will stay on the safari tool bar..
    Downloaded files e.g.from Mail stay in the downloads folder in your home account in finder although this can be changed in Safari preferences.
