Why do Add-on Mng, Close Confirm, Download, Awesomebar help all fail together?

Several features of Firefox fail after I allow Firefox nightlies to update Firefox. Because the behavior is so broad, I don't know how to enter it into bugzilla. The features that break are:
* Add-ons Manager doesn't show my add-ons or the Get New Add-ons page. I can switch to the pages, but they're empty.
* Location bar does not show suggestions as I type.
* The Quit dialog is empty except for non-functional Cancel / Ok buttons. I have to use OS X's Force Quit to close Firefox.
* Downloading a file does not show the download list window, and though it seems the "parts" of a download get to my machine, those parts never get renamed or assembled and announced as they should.
I have a way to "fix" this cluster of behaviors: Open Add-ons Manager, click Get New, close the browser (with Force Quit), restart Firefox. Since Session Manager remembers I had Add-ons focused, it opens to that page. After a few moments Add-ons is populated normally and all the features listed above work normally.
I use several add-ons, including Session Manager, BarTab, Recent Tab, Firebug, etc.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Why are some of my emails coming in with lines all bunched together on top of each other, unable to read?

WHy are some of my emails coming in with the text body all bunched together on top of one another unable to read?

Are that bookmarks that you have imported from another browser?
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Java adds extra garbage data to downloaded files?

I have been trying to write a updater to my java program and everytime I download a file it adds data to the end. When downloading a small text file it adds (null) a bunch of times to the bottom of the file. When downloading a 175k text file called large.txt it breaks the format a little bit then adds part of the file to the bottom. If you download a zip file it corrupts it. Does anyone know why java adds crap to the bottom of downloaded files or can someone help me out please?
//testDownload.java
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class testDownload
     public static void main(String[] args)
     int count = 0;
          try
               System.out.println("Downloading file");
               java.io.BufferedInputStream in = new java.io.BufferedInputStream(
               new java.net.URL("http://saveourmacs.com/testfile/test.txt").openStream());
               //new java.net.URL("http://saveourmacs.com/testfile/large.txt").openStream());
               java.io.FileOutputStream fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream("test.txt");
               //java.io.FileOutputStream fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream("large.txt");
               java.io.BufferedOutputStream bout = new BufferedOutputStream(fos,1024);
               byte data[] = new byte[1024];
               while(in.read(data,0,1024)>=0)
                    bout.write(data);
                    count++;
                    if (count % 1024 == 0)     // every meg
                         System.out.print (">");
               System.out.println();
               System.out.println("File downloaded");
               bout.close();
               in.close();
          catch (Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
               //System.exit(-1);
}

You always write chunks of 1024 bytes; what if the last chunk read was less than 1024 bytes? Hint: use the return value of the read( ... ) method.
kind regards,
Jos

My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I can't make any changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong?

My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I am not able to make changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong? I have watched the video and the photos don't open that way on my layers panel. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.
Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer.

Why can I no longer close down Firefox while saving existing tabs?

For some freason, I don't know what, but 2 things are going wrong.
1. I cannot log in to an already registerd account with the same name an my [email protected] email address
2. Why can I no longer close down Firefox while still saving existing tabs.
If this reaches a person rather than a machine, I would really appreciate a reply to the aol address as I don't tend to use hotmail that much

In Firefox 3.5 and later you can no longer click the Tab bar to set focus to it.<br />
You can press Ctrl+K (Mac: Cmd+K) to set focus to the search bar and press the Tab key until the tab bar gets focus.

In the 20.0.1 update, I noticed when you accidentally close your window your browsing it automatically closes your downloads. Can I bypass this?

In the 20.0.1 update, I noticed when you accidentally close your window your browsing it automatically closes your downloads. Previous versions when you close your window and reopen Firefox your downloads are unaffected until your downloads are finished or you cancel it yourself. Is there a setting I can set that my downloads are unaffected when I close my window.

You can set the browser.download.manager.quitBehavior pref to 2 on the about:config page.<br />
That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.
See:

Why is "add to wish list" option missing?

I prefer to use the Wish List to buy songs at once, but I'm encountering an issue where iTunes isn't giving me an option to add some songs to my Wish List. Some work and some don't, but I can't figure out why. Any thoughts?

Thank you iappod and lllaass for your suggestions! I did execute both to no avail.
Just by luck, I solved my own dilemma. While in the App Store, I obviously had only been trying to add "Free" or "Free+" apps to Wish List. Because when I came across an interesting "Paid" app, the Add to Wish List button was there as an option, after pressing the button. Just to confirm this, I tested all three categories. At least on my iPod Touch 5, with latest update installed, I can only save paid apps for later consideration.
Thanks again for your time and help!
Sincerely,
M

Why Am I getting this error: "downloading theme switcher has failed, retrying"

Every time I try to install or download an add-on I get this error message: "downloading theme switcher has failed, retrying". However, and for what ever reason, the PS tools add-on did download and install successfully. Any Ideas?
Thanks
Ronace

Hi Ronace,
I'm the author of Theme Switcher. I can't say why the CC app tells you that - it does for me too for an old add-on I installed many time ago.
There's an open thread here for removing add ons: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1585860
Which should be trivial, instead isn't as straightforward as it should be.
Otherwise you can download the installer (instead of let the CC app install it): log in, goes in the product page, "Where to find it" and then "Download / Install your Add-on another way", "Download using Extension Manager"
Mind you, check to have the most recent update of Adobe Extension Manager, it's quite picky as a software.
Hope this helps!

Why does Adobe say to close Safari when i have nothing open?

I'm trying to update Adobe Flash Player on my Mac and it's almost done downloading but it says "please close the following programs to continue" and says Safari under that. I don't have anything open (except just now 'cause I have a question) so I don't get why it's saying to close it.

It's not enough to close the Safari window, you need to quit the Safari process.

Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder?

Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder that resides in my users folder?

Problem is if I delete that .plist I'll delete those downloads. I'm still able to launch those downloads from that location so that tells that file is probably not corrupted. I need to be able to located that folder and transfer the downloads from it before I do anything like this. So that begs the question, where is that folder located? When I do a folder search I'm taken to a Downloads folder, but it's not the one that is showing up from within Safari as it's contents are too different.

Why does you tube prevent music video downloads?

I have figured out that music companies do not want you tube users to download videos to their hard drives or jump drives. Well, I want to. All the other videos work fine. I am using Firefox 18.0 with video download helper, and every time I download a music video, it says zero bytes. Zero byte download files, zero byte music video file. So I found the workaround to this problem to be save vid dot com, where I can enter the url to the music video I want to download and save it to my disk. Why does Firefox not allow this. Why does you tube not allow this. Money must be involved. Like I said, there must be some stupid reason why they don't want us to download their music videos. What's their problem. I just want to watch the video when I am offline, and save vid has saved me from getting angry again.
All the other videos that do not have major sponsors download just fine, and it's sad that we have to find workarounds to stupid problems. Save vid allows you to save the you tube video without loading a spybot plugin that changes your home page and peppers you with ads, I'm glad they have it. I hope to save someone else the trouble.

Actually, it is keep vid dot come, not save vid that i used, but both are legit websites that allow you to download videos from anywhere without a lot of hassle or unsafe plugins. Sorry about any confusion.

Why is my iPad not able to download mail for hours at a time while the iPhone next to it has no problem?

Why is my iPad not able to download mail when the iPhone next to it can and the iPad may be able to do it 24 hours later with no change in settings? This happens with multiple email accounts at the same time in several locations on many occasions. The setting is to check emails every 15 minutes. It says it is checking but nothing comes up while it does on my Mac or iPhone

I have exactly the same problem here.
Can see new email appearing straight away on the iPhone and Windows pc, but very erratic on the iPad. Sometimes the emails appear immediately on the iPad, other times they don't appear for hours.
One thing I have noticed if I go and change the "delete messages - remove" setting to something other than what it was set (for instance from "never" to "one month") it seems to jiggle something and the outstanding emails all suddenly appear.

Hi Tiachia,
The download is dependent on the network connectivity speeds.
