When I save images from Firefox, they can't be used as background images!

Hi! I have a small problem with Firefox that bothers me. I run on a Mac OS X Snow Leopard. When I see an image that I like, I right click and choose "Save Image". I store it in my Pictures folder. When I go to the manager that helps me choose a background, the picture isn't available to use! But when I save a picture in Safari, it is there for me to choose. Why does this happen? Thank you!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Does that image has the correct file extension (.jpg) ?
Can you open the image in a picture viewer?

  • When clicking "Save image as" how can I get Firefox to auto add a (1) (2) etc at the end of the filename if an image with the same filename already exists?

    How can I get Firefox to automatically rename images when clicking "Save image as" on the menu, when an image with the same file name already exists in the folder??

    Hello,
    That is not a feature that is supported natively within Firefox but there are various add-ons which I think will do the job you need.
    The one I have used is [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-slide-show/?src=search Web Slide Show]. This is primarily an add-on for viewing a slideshow of images when they are presented as thumbnails on a web page. However once you are in the slideshow there is a download button which will download all the images in the slideshow. It will automatically rename the images if an image with the same name already exists in the folder.
    If you don't like that add-on then here are some others that may do the same job:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-download-%E2%85%B1/?src=search Image Download II]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/image-picker/ Image Picker]
    I hope that helps. Let me know if not.
    Also I notice that you are using Firefox v23. That is now an outdated version. To get the latest security updates I suggest updating to version 24. See the support article here: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]].

  • When I acess Hotmail mail from firefox i can't do anything in my account

    When I acess Hotmail mail from firefox i can't do anything in my account,see emails,delete them,write new ones...like it's blocked. When I go to Hotmail with Explorer I can do everything, from other computer too. So I guess I have some kind of problem with Firefox.
    Thank you!

    Bought a new Canon MG7540 printer to replace the old HP A618. When printing vector objects from Illustrator, they look like graphics from dandy (8 bits) ... no smooth, all cubes ... if do raster than print perfectly.  Who knows how to treat it? No well to rasterize vector before each printing. OS - MacOs 10.10.

    Have you read the User's Guide for that printer?  Odds are you will get reasonable prints.  However, it is a photographic printer.  That said, it should print excellent quality photographic files.  To get smooth lines in Illustrator, try Preferences > Use Anti-Aliased Artwork.  That will smoothen the output.  If, for some reason, that does not work, try Print > Save As PDF > open PDF in Reader and print from there.  Check the User's Guide for media sizes available for your particular printer.  Setup your artboard to the size page you want the image to print on.  Use View > Show Page Tiling ( to see where the page's printable area lies.  Align the page with the artboard using the Page tool.

    Just once or twice

    It turns out that the problem had to do with network accounts, even though it was not clear at first.  Redirecting the program to the local machine's cache with a network home redirector script fixed the issue.  Thanks anyway.

    Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device.  Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud.  If someone deletes them, they are gone.  If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

    iTunes support would be the only way i'm afraid.

    Still sounds like the mic to me. There are 2 on an iPhone 4 one on the top of the phone one under, each has a separate task. Sounds to me like your top mic is on the blink.

  • My daughter does not have an iPhone. I just got the IPhone4. When she receives messages from me they must be downloaded for her to read them. How do Imsend plain SMS messages to a non iPhone recipient?

    My daughter does not have an iPhone. I just got the IPhone4S. When she receives messages from me they must be downloaded for her to read them. How do I send her plain SMS messages to a non iPhone recipient?

    Well, it could have to do with her phone, however does she have any difficulty in receiving SMS from others? You may want to check how you have iMessage set up. Go to Settings>Messages>Receive at>Make sure your telephone number is listed there, then go to Caller ID, and make sure your phone number is the one with the checkmark by it. You may be sending messages with your email address as the header and if that is so, it may be requiring her to download it as data. See if that helps.

  • I'm wondering if I should update to firefox 5 from firefox 3.6? I use Zotero for my dissertation research and I have lots of stored info in Firefox 3.6 like frequent flier numbers that load automatically that I don't want to lose. Suggestions?

    I'm wondering if I should update to firefox 5 from firefox 3.6? I use Zotero for my dissertation research and I have lots of stored info in Firefox 3.6 like frequent flier numbers that load automatically that I don't want to lose. Suggestions?

    My advice is to stick with Firefox 3.6.x for a while yet, it is still supported.
    Otherwise, see the Zotero website for advice about their program and updating to Firefox 5.0 (or 6.0 when it is released in 3 weeks).

    Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
    If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
    On your Home Screen, tap Settings.
    Tap iCloud.
    Tap Storage & Backup.
    Tap Manage Storage.
    In the Backups section, tap your device.
    In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
    To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage.

    For some reason, I cannot seem to print to my printer Dell 1355cnw from Firefox anymore. I'm using Firefox version 13.0 on a Mac 10.6.8. I recently upgraded my printer from another Dell network printer, which worked absolutely fine. Any thoughts or ideas would be hugely appreciated?

  • Can't pdf save documents from Firefox 6.0.2

    I have windows XP sp3 + all updates, Firefox 6.0.2 and Adobe Reader X (10.1.0).
    When I download a document from the web and use the Adobe Reader options to save the document to disk I get the following error message.
    "The Disk you were saving to or the Disk used for Temporary files is  full.  Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a  different disk."
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled but get same result. My other PC's have same setup and work okay.
    If I open a document with Adove Reader and save as it works, so it seem to be associated with the Firefox plugin.
    Regards
    Allan

    Thanks to Bernd and Allan
    "Save as" from within the browser is ok. However it is not the most convenient method.
    I've deinstalled Adobe Reader X and deleted all the remaining files from a previous version (8) which had obviously not been cleared correctly, and cleaned the hard disk including registry keys with CCleaner. Then I've reinstalled Adobe Reader X. The problem remains
    I understand that there are several problems with Acrobat Reader X in all sorts of browsers. Saving is one of them, but also opening pdf-files from within a browser may cause problems (I had this from time to time). See also the following threads in this forum:
    - thomas.croonen "can't save PDF from Internet Explorer embedded Adobe Reader", first posted on March 6, discussion still active
    - fonduekid "Adobe Reader X - Firefox integration Problem", first posted on November 23, 2010, dito
    Thus I wonder whether Acrobat has planned the fixing of these problems (even for old Windows systems like XP) or whether we have to cope with the inconveniences. And I am surprised that there is no official answer by Acrobat to this obviously quite common problem.
    Bye,

  • "Save As" page comes up when I try printing from Firefox

    When I use my Verizon DSL and Firefox (this doesn't happen if I use Int. Explorer) and I wish to print internet info, I do a Ctl. P to print. Instead of printing, I receive a "Save As" page that I cannot stop from appearing. The page includes: "Save As" at the top with a box for saving to (Ex.: documents), then has a listing across of "Name," "Date Modified," "Type," "Size," and "Tags" across the top. Then a listing of items such as Games, My Stationery, New Folder, Sansa, Updater. Then at the bottom there is a listing for "File Name" with a box for the name. Then under that a "save As Type" (PDF). Then a save or cancel button.

    I can not print anything from Firefox but on IE everything prints just fine. I happen to like Firefox a whole lot better so would appreciate a solution to my problem.
