When I have an image on the screen and try to save it why does firefox download it again?

I am on a certain web site and an image is displayed on the screen. I want to save it to my PC. Instead of saving the one already downloaded and displayed Firefox downloads it again. This is a nuisance it wastes time and bandwidth. Is there any way to correct this? Some people have suggested 'save images' but this is no help whatsoever as the same thing happens.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never Remember History).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Cache because Firefox will disable the disk cache in such a case
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

  • When saving an image, why does Firefox download it again, although it is already downloaded and displayed?

    If you right click an image on a website and choose "save image", it will be downloaded again. It is already in the browser cache though. There are addons which let you pick it from the cache.
    Why doesn't Firefox just save the cached image and instead downloads it again? There seems to be no obvious rationale to do it like that (and lots to use the cached version).

    Thanks you, but that's not an answer to my question.
    I'm not looking for workarounds. I would like to know (preferably from someone at Mozilla) why the browser works this way and if they are going to change it.

    Camera Raw will not install on my mac,os 10.7.5. When I click on the install package the main install screen opens and that is as far as I can proceed with the down load. I have to force quit the software and try again. I have deleted and downloaded the software several times to no avail. I need some help.

    Appreciate your help Ian and others.   I have since uninstalled FCS and reinstalled FCXP only to get the same thing. Loading FCXP stalls at "Looking for Compressor Support".  When I first downloaded FCXP from the App store I didn't notice that FCS was being placed in it's own folder.  It's not something I did manually.  Although moved into it's own folder with FCXP on the same drive.  I was not able to open FCS apps. They would load and then "quit unexpectantly".  They opened just fine before I downloaded FCXP.  Do I need to purchase Compressor so that FCXP recognizes it? It seems this is where it stalls. It doesn't explain however why my computer "FREEZES" while doing this.  I am in the process of re-installing Lion to see if this helps, otherwise I am at a complete loss.

  • When I place a clip in the timeline and try to watch it, the viewer says "Unrendered" and it will not show the clip

    When I place a clip in the timeline and try to watch it, the viewer says "Unrendered" and it will not show the clip. What do I need to do to fix this?

    Option 1: Render the clip in FCE then watch it.
    Option 2 (preferred): Convert the clip so it will match your Sequence settings in FCE prior to importing the clip into your project.  It will not need rendering if converted properly.

  • My new iPad have some scratches on the screen and a little crack, will I be able to get a replacement?

    My iPad overheated and it was so hot that i loosen it out of my hand and dropped to the floor, causes few scratches n a minor crack
    will I get a replacement for that?

    Without AppleCare+, no, not even a free repair.  You dropped it, so it's on your dime now.  You wouldn't expect free repairs to your car after crashing it into a pole, would you?
    Also, note that Apple may not be enthusiastic about repairing it, because a dropped iPad may have other issues beyond a broken screen.  Other internal components may have been damaged.  Buying a replacement may be the best way of getting back a reliably-functioning iPad.  But you could also go with a cheaper repair from a third-party company that will just replace the screen and let you worry about whether or not that repair is sufficient.  That kind of repair voids the warranty, but it's already void thanks to the damage anyway.

  • How do I get the "all floating" option in the "layout" to work?  Something happened that it stopped working.   I like to have several images on the screen at the same time.

    I like to work with several images at the same time on the photoshop elements 12 "expert" screen and used to be able to have the "all floating" option in the "layout", thereby altering each image differently on the screen.   I'm an artist and view multiple images while painting.   But now that option doesn't work for some reason.   Help!

    Editor preferences>general, turn Allow Floating documents, but then you may need to go to window>images>float all in windows to make it work for currently open files.

    To restore your iPhone, connect it to iTunes and hold down the Power/Sleep button simultaneously with the Home button. Keep both buttons pressed down until your iPhone powers off. When your iPhone turns off, release the Power/Sleep button, but keep the Home button depressed until iTunes detects the iPhone (it should detect restore mode).
    Once iTunes detects your iPhone in restore mode, hit the “Restore” button to get your crashed out iPhone back to working order.

  • Not able to scroll up or down or touch the screen and go to another website. Does anybody have an answer to this problem? I did have this function previously.

    Not able to scroll up and down or touch the screen to go to another website.  I can see everything on the page but the screen darkens a bit but everything is visible.  Just no touch screen function.  Can anyone provide me with a solution to this problem?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

  • I just recalibrated my battery and now cannot remove anything from my dock. Don't know if this has anything to do with it or not. I have moved it up the screen and held it and still returns to the dock. What now?

    I do not know if this has anything to do with my problem or not. I just recalibrated my battery and now cannot remove anything from the dock. I have moved it half way up and held it and it just goes back to the dock. Will not let me even put it in the trash. I am new to the macbook so would you please help me?

    There is NO calibration on a modern macbook
    Battery calibration, battery memory, battery overcharging, battery training, …all these concepts are mostly holdovers from much older battery technology, and on older Apple portable Macbooks ranging from early nicads, NiMh and otherwise; and these practices do not apply to your lithium battery and its smart controllers.
    Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and are not to be calibrated
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490
    There is no battery calibration with current Apple portable Macbooks with built-in batteries. Lithium batteries have essentially a 0-‘memory’, and all such calibration involve the estimations fed to the system controller on the SOC (state of charge) of the battery over long periods of time as the battery degrades. The software based battery controller knows the battery's characteristics, or SOC and adjusts itself. This is why there is both no need and purpose to periodically deeply drain your macbook battery, since it doesn’t affect the characteristics of the battery, and further still deep discharges are something you should not do on purpose to any lithium battery.

  • My Ipod Touch 5 got a long red line all of the sudden on the screen and i do not know why

    Hello,
    So i have purchased my Ipod Touch 5 through apple. The thing is, i do not know why a red long line appeared on my screen all of the sudden. It has not fallen at all so i was just wondering if there is the possibility of sending my ipod into apple and getting another one since i have warranty.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > 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.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Dreaded Black Screen and automatic shut-down.  Why does this happen ?

    Why do I get a Black Screen and automatic shut-down ?  My iMac felt warm...and I never hear a fan go on..could overheating be why it shuts down?

    Hi Tish,
    A few things.
    If you bough this iMac used with no original install/hardware test discs, you can call Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE ask for software sales and tell them you need a set of iMac replacement install/hardware test discs. You'll need to give the Apple rep your iMac's serial number.to get the appropriate discs. There will be around a $16 or $17 U.S. charge for discs.
    Since your iMac is still freezing, I now wonder if it is RAM and/or hard drive related.
    Your iMac maybe freezing because of serious lack of RAM.
    How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    You only have 1 GB of RAM installed.
    OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard really needs more RAM than this.
    Intel versions of OS X use more CPU, GPU, RAM and hard drive resources.
    OS X, running alone (without any other applications running) can use up between 2 and 4 GBs of RAM memory.
    Youf iMac model can 4 GBs of RAM, but only about 3.1 to 3.3 GBs of it will be recognized.
    Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
    Without being able to run the Apple hardware test we have no way of knowing the condition of your iMac's hard drive.
    The freezing could, also, be caused from a failing hard drive.
    If you do not have any backup of your data, this is the time to create one.
    Backup your important data to either DVD discs, flash drive/s or purchase an external hard drive to backup all,of your data to.
    You can make an exact clone of the data, on your internal hard drive, using a data cloning like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. OR purchase the external drive and use OS X Time Machine to automatically backup your entire internal drive.

    Hello there stidhambr15,
    I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

  • My ipod 4th generation touch screen will not work when i touch it its not reconizing my finger when you put a blanket on a screen and try to touch it wouldnt do anything help please

    does any body know why

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
