Why can't I open any downloads?

I've tried everything that I've seen people suggest but, nothing works. I went to about:config and changed it to false. I came up with the same problems. I even cleared firefox history and other things. I really need help because what ever I do firefox won't let me download anything

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

  • Why can't I open any of the attachments in my email

    Why can't I open any of the attachments in my email.  I did not have this problem before

    What is your operating system?
    What is your email client?
    What is your Reader version?
    What exactly means "can't"?
    Does this happen for any attachments, or just PDF files?

    Why can't I open any PDF files ?

    I am running Safari Version 5.1.5 (6534.55.3) on my iMac 10,1.  After my last Adobe update, my pdf files are nothing but a black window.  Have tried reverting to an earlier version of Adobe, but still getting a black window.  What next steps should I take?  Thanks.

    ''Why can't I open my downloads?''
    The shortcut "Ctrl+J" takes you to the Downloads Manager, it is basically a journal of downloads. If the file is deleted afterwards it knows nothing about that.
    So if you download to a temporary files directly you could have many things clearing that. Likewise if you have Firefox set up to clear your history and that includes downloads you would lose them.

    If you are in Private session ("Ctrl+Shift+P") or permanent Private session with Tools > Options > Privacy > "Never Remember History" you would lose them.
    Right click on one of the files in the downloads to see where it was downloaded to. Also see about:config settings mentioned in the following along with other problems.

  • After up grading to Adobe Reader XI why can't I open any PDF files?

    I am running windows vista and had been using Adobe Reader 8 - when I upgraded,  can not open any PDF files. When I attempt to open a PDF file, I receive the following messages:
    Update available
    Please take a few seconds to update Adobe AIR and get the very latest features. Acrobat.com cannot continue until you update Adobe AIR.
    after attemptng to down load the "update" I receive the following message.
    Sorry, an error has occurred
    This application requires an update to Adobe AIR but downloading that update was not successful.
    I have uninttalled all of my Adobe freeware & reinstalled statring with "adobe AIR" then "adobe Reader" and then attempted to opne a PDF file only to see the same  message

    Thank you Pat,
    I have already been there done that. I first  Un-installed all of my adobe freeware (reader, flash player, air. etc) then started reinstalling. First I reinstalled reader (latest version Reader X), same error messages. added AIR (latest version not listed - Last updated April 1st, 2012 -
    maybe that should tell me something), same error messages. I un-installed these two and reinstalled AdobeFlash Player,Adobe Shockwave Player,&Adobe Media Player, verifying that each worked after each reinstall of the next program everything was OK until I put Reader back on (NOTE: I dug all the way back to version 8 & still had the problem). for some unknown reason I finally right clicked on a PDF file on my desk top & was greeted with a the drop menu & he option of "open with" for fun I clicked on the "open with" & found that I had two options the first was a white Icon with the Stylized A and labeled Acrobat.com the second was the normal red Icon we all know & live
    when I reset the default to the normal red Icon everything began to work just as I have always had adobe reader work. Now I have no clue how or when I picked up the "Acrobat.com" program even worse it does not show up under programs on the control panel. When I have a few moments this evening, I will run a search for "Acrobat.com" & hopefully be able to remove it from my computer.
    Bottom line I don't know how I got the program which seems to have caused the breakdown of adobe reader but by resetting the default program to open PDF files it is now working as it should
    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • I use gmail on my ipad. Why can't I open any attachments? Not word files, not photos, nothing. Thanks

    I use g-mail on my ipad. I have no trouble receiving mail, but I cannot open any attachments of any kind. Why?

    For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
    From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can't i open any previous pages

    I have downloaded an installed this "new" software.
    It can't open anything ... tells me that there is a newer version, sends my to the APP store and it's installed.
    Awful I even went to a training because my work was all messed up and couldn't fix it, despite the tutorials which are usuaaly very easy and helpful?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

    btw Your tag is wrong you are not on OSX (10.7.5)

  • Why can I not open any .mbox folders?

    If I go to my Home > Library > Mail and then try to open the INBOX.mbox or Sent Messages.mbox folders I can't. In fact the icon for these files is a document. When I double click on the xxxx.mbox I get a message saying there is no default application to open the xxxx.mbox.
    I should be able to open the INBOX.mbox and see my emails saved as individual files, which can be read by TextEdit.
    I'm not having any problems with Mail, I'm just curious to know what is going on. My hunch is that my emails and settings originally came from OS9 (Outlook Express) then 10.3 (Mail) and now 10.5 and maybe something has gone wrong during these transitions?
    Thanks

    Hello
    Yes, I understand each mail account will have it's own Deleted, Draft, Inbox, Junk and Sent mailboxes. I also understand where my user created mailboxes are.
    I have created a couple of new user created mailboxes. I can see them in my Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes but even these new mailboxes can not be opened like a folder, my Mac is treating them like a document which can not be opened by any application (I've tried TextEdit and Word).
    My hunch is...
    Years ago I was using Outlook Express on OS 9. I then updated to OS 10.3 and Mail. I had big problems getting my email from Outlook into Mail and the new OS. I have recently upgraded to OS 10.5. My hunch is that something has gone wrong with this process and the new capabilities of Mail in OS 10.5 are not working i.e. in OS 10.3 emails were not saved as individual xxxx.emix files.
    Mail is working fine, but I would feel a lot safer if the mailboxes were behaving as they should. The question is, what do I do?

  • Why can't I use any downloaded program on my Macbook?

    It seems to be that I can't do anything when I open a downloaded program. That includes programs such as Adobe, Microsoft Office en even the smallest such as VLC Media Player. Programs that were already on the laptop such as Safari, Finder, Apple Mail, App Store are no problem. I can restart the computer and maybe it will work again but it is about a 1/10 chance.
    I have a 15 inch Macbook Mid 2010 version 10.6.8. I have updated to Mavericks but it didn't help the situation (version 10.9)

    Hi BigDaddy,
    I’m sorry if this associate gave you incorrect information regarding our Movers Coupons. Movers Coupons can be used towards the purchase of a MacBook Pro that is on sale. You state this store is our store in DeerPark, IL, but I don’t see a store located in a town named DeerPark. Could the location of this Best Buy be in a different city?

  • Why can't I open any pdf files with any version of Adobe Reader after I upgraded?

    Upgraded Adobe Reader not too long ago and after then it stopped opening pdf files. I had an old version of Adobe Acrobat and that opened the file no problem. I tried to downgrade Adobe Reader, but that didn't fix the problem.
    Just tried to open Adobe Reader by itself without any files and it still crashed.
    FYI – I’m using Windows 7 (Microsoft 2013)

    It's not a good idea to have both Acrobat and Reader unless they're both of the same version number (like X or XI). Such a situation can cause all kinds of conflicts and crashes, as you've seen. Also, if you have an old version of Acrobat it's might not be compatible with your OS any more.

  • Why can I not open my downloads from my download list?

    Everytime I save a document or a music file or anything to my computer through fire fox it appears on my download list but never gives me the option to open it......

    Right-click the downloaded file and select '''Open Containing Folder''', then you can do as you please with that file.
