Why does firefox's internet files take so much space on hard drive?

Why does firefox's internet files take so much space on hard drive?For example, I have 9,80GD on disk and after looked 2 video on youtube(2-3 min each) it's become 9,60GB. It's 200MB gone!

If you did not see the dialog box asking if you wanted to delete from the hard drive, I think this may be one of those options where you can say "Don't ask again," meaning until you trash your iTunes prefs, it will cease asking the question.
you can bring those dialogs back. iTunes > preferences > advanced > reset all dialog warnings

  • Does using GPRMs / scripts / stories take up much space?

    Hi all
    Does using GPRMs / scripts / stories take up much space??
    I ask this because a dvd I must complete tonight appears [on the disc meter in DVDSP] to take up 6.0 GB when the combined assets equal 3.85 GB AND NONE have been doubled up.
    I have stories that reuse the same main movie, a fair number of menus [without using DVDSP alpha transitions], scripts that point to loop points in menus, and a scripting combination that randomly plays 13 audio tracks with 300kB graphics for the video track.
    Anyone??? Please!

    I may have found where the size descrepency originates.
    The size of this project is associated with 13 menus.
    Each of these menus has a still as the video asset and an audio track [ranging from 2 mins 30 duration to 8 mins with most at 3 mins 30 secs].
    Each menu has the same button structure, with three buttons.
    Button 1 points to a script that randomly plays each audio track once before returning to a main menu.
    Button 2 points to the main menu.
    Button 3 points to a Story which plays 1 chapter of video from the master asset [2.3 GB] then returns to the same menu. The master video has not been duplicated at all to do this, the story just points to the asset and then jumps back...
    THE CRUX OF THIS ISSUE IS that if I delete 1 or two of any combination of these two buttons, nothing really happens regarding a drop in file size in the Inspector or Disk Space Meter, BUT if I delete all three buttons, the file size drops from 448.3 MB to 12 MB, taking the Disk Meter from 5.5 GB to 5.0 GB!!!!
    This is obviously where my problem lies.
    ANYONE OUT THERE that can help it would be SOOOO GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!
    [HAL, are you there??? I'm sure you would have a solution].
    Thanks in advance.
    HMM.. here's a thought.... The Story that points to and plays 1 chapter of my main video before returning to the same menu would possibly be the same file size if exported and encoded separately.... Perhaps I have missed something with the Story navigation.....Unlikely though as is pretty straight forward [with the help of the manual of course].
    ALL HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! THANKS..

  • Why does firefox 7 crashes the system if Quadro NVS 135M graphics driver is installed?

    Why does firefox 7 crashes the system with a Quadro NVS 135M graphics cards installed?
    It happens immediately after opening Firefox on a two screen system. You get a message saying the Graphics Driver stopped responding, but that it managed to recover, but after a while the system freezes completely. You can't even CTRL+ALT+DEL.

    I get this too on with my nVidia GTX460 card. In my case the screen goes black. It happens once every few days, and for a while I could not figure out why. I was forcing a shutdown to get the screen back.
    But I put the computer to sleep and woke it up, since that restarts the video, and this let me see what was wrong. The only error message is it reports that Firefox hung. There is nothing else in the Event logs.
    I'm running Windows 7 with all the updates from Windows Update, and my video driver is 285.62, but his also happened with the 260.26 driver.
    I imagine this is happening a lot, but people aren't able to isolate the cause.
    I'm looking for a fix, not a bypass.

  • Why does Firefox download .docx files as octet-stream?

    When I try to open or download files that have the .docx extension FireFox 5.0.1 says they are octet-stream. Internet Explorer 8 opens and downloads the files correctly. Do I need to switch browsers or is there a easy "fix?"

    As what kind of files does Firefox save the .docx files?
    Firefox will always offer to save files that are send as application/octet-stream

  • Why does Macbook Pro rename my Time Machine and other external hard drives?

    Why does my Macbook Pro rename my Time Machine to "Time Machine I" and then back again periodically.  Last night it was one name, this morning it is another. It also does it on other external hard drives - usually by adding a I after the name. It is frustrating for me because I store a large runtime folder on an external hard drive and end up losing a lot of time with my computer not being able to find files because of the renaming.
    And even though it still looks like Time Machine under "Get info: - when I open a folder window or Disk Utility it has a new name, and there is no way to change it.  I've seen other questions that mention Macs renaming themselves, so it seems like a similar issue. I did try deleting the preferences plist file, but that did not work.
    Is this a glitch with this particular model or operating system?
    Specs: Macbook Pro A1297 - 2009 model.
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8GB ram
    Many thanks for any advice.

    strange, my external HDs were added to the exception list automatically. maybe because they wouldn't fit on the time machine volume.
    It seems to depend on when the drives were connected. When you first turn Time Machine on, it only excludes the TM drive itself, and any drives not formatted HFS+.
    If you connect a drive later on, that drive will be excluded automatically.

  • HT1750 my macbook pro does not store a file in my 1 tb seagate hard drive

    my mac book pro does not allow to store a file in my 1tb seagate hard drive, anybody has an idea?

    One idea would be to post in the MacBook Prof forum, this forum is the iMac forum.However as long as you're here can you provide more information, are you referring to a specfic file, where are you attempting to save it on your HD and what type of file is it?

  • Why does my computer slow down when I connect an external hard drive

    I've been using a 2TB western digital external hard drive with USB connection.  It was working fine, but once it was up to 1.95TB, my macbook pro froze up.  Looking at my activity monitor,  my memory dropped to nil once the hard drive was connected.  The same hard drive works fine on my PC and I have no issues accessing all the files, just not on my mac. Any suggestions? 

    Thanks Eustace,
    When I disconnect the external hard drive, and look at the activity monitor, the memory climbs back up to about 4 to 6GB free.
    I have software system version: OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)

  • Why does Firefox search for Files, Folders and Sizes during the install?

    Every time I install an upgrade to Firefox is scans for File Size, Files and Folders... Why?

    I reset Firefox a second time and now everything seems to be working fine, as you described: "The Forward slash (/) worked for quick find and the Apostrophe (') worked for Quick Find Links Only."
    Thanks.

  • Why does Firefox's first startup take so long?

    Hello
    I was hoping if someone could help diagnose and resolve a performance issue I am currently experiencing with my Firefox. On first initial load, it will take 3-4 minutes before the window actually appears.
    I've done some research and tried the follwing methods but unfortunately with no success:
    # Disabling add-ons - although I don't know how to remove old obsolete ones altogether.
    # Creating a new profile
    # Amending the shortcut to include "Prefetch:1"
    Sebsequent start-ups are ok and I experience no problems - it is just the first initial start-up.
    Any guidance and advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks

    Not sure what that link is to as I've been waiting 15 minutes now for it to open and still only got a black screen.
    My back up gets to just over 3/4 done and then seems to freeze or I am told iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.
    Sounds like whatever is in that link might be useful, but it's taking as long to open as running a back up so I may give up on that. Is there something that can be added into this thread if there is a magical way of stopping them (sometimes I can click the x in the bar and stop it, sometimes I can't).

  • Why does Firefox crashes and support takes me around and around in circles

    Firefox won't open and I get the crash reporter instead. I used to have firefox and was re downloading it, but now it just crashes when I try to open it. Online support does nothing but run me around in circles!!!!

    With which Firefox version do you have the crashes?

  • Why does my macbook pro crash when I connect my external hard drive?

    When I connect my external hard drive to my macbook pro (with fire wire) it crashes my computer... Any thoughts or help??

    Thanks for the response. I tried both methods with the same end result.
    I'm in safe mode now. It doesnt show up as being plugged in. It worked fine when connected with the USB-I went to disk utilities and repaired the disk.
    I tried to plug in with the firewire, again and it shut down my computer..
    Any other suggestions?

  • Why does Firefox take so long to load beta images on some sites?

    I upgraded to one of the latest versions of Firefox, and it's better in some ways. It loads much faster than previous versions, but when I try to look at certain websites - the Globe and Mail is one of them - I get messages like "waiting for beta images" and Firefox just sits there and I can't look at the site. Why does Firefox take so long to upload beta images? I don't have that problem with Internet Explorer.

    ES File Manager is my default player for almost all media. Firefox is not set to default.
    Here is a step by step.
    I see a picture I like so I download it. Firefox has now sent me a notification that the download is complete. After eventually closing the browser, I then clear notifications. Upon doing so, Firefox opens, regardless of whether it was running in the background or truly closed.

  • Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves?

    Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves? Once it renders the page it should forget about the page. Why does it behave when some link is clicked when there is no internet? It should just say internet not available or some crap. Why die, sulk, crash?? I don't get it! 3 series was much much much better!

    I should add, I've re-downloaded Firefox, but that doesn't look like it has helped any. Still get seemingly inexplicable crashes.
