Why 'remember last download folder' feature in firefox 22 didn't work

I use firefox 22 for download csv from a flash-based website. When i click the export button it always prompt me a 'select download folder' dialogue. If i download the file continuously, it will use recently used folder. but after i close the firefox then download again, it's always start in 'recently used places' directory list. any suggestion about this?

unfortunately i don't know enough about how flash-based downloads are handled - on normal sites firefox will save the last used download folder on a per-domain basis. can you check if this is still working as intended after a restart with other non-flash based sites...?

    I did what you said and updated FF, now the download goes to the external HDD that I specified, but now FF bugs, it freezes (not responing) :s
    I reinstalled it but it doesn't fix the problem. I don't know what to do :(

    Default apps are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted.  Search all home screens and all folders and/or search for it with Spotlight, that will tell you what folder it's in.
    Also check Settings > General > Restrictions to see if it has been restricted.
    If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Firefox (7 and up) does not remember last download foler

    Prior to firefox 7, downloaded images would continue to be saved in the same user selected folder until the user changed to location.
    Firefox 7 and above changes this folder location when changing to different web pages. It appears as if firefox is attempting to determine the best folder to use based on past browsing history.
    Will this be fixed, or an option added to disable this? It's very disruptive when surfing for different content and always having to check the folder before downloading.

    You will have to wait a few version to have the pref browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite available to disable this new feature.
    *Bug 536503 - Last downloaded-to directory should be remembered on a site-by-site basis
    *Bug 702748 - Use a pref for disabling per-site remembering of download directory

  • After downloading new version of firefox, i didn't like it and attempted to restore my system to a previous time and version of firefox. Now firefox won't open, even the old version isn't there anymore.

    I want to get firefox back, keeping all of the bookmarks.

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    *Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Why cannot I download pdf's with Firefox when I can with Safari? I just see the front page of the PDF

    All I see is the front page of the pdf. It does not download the full file. It works with Amazon

    Try to clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    * "Clear the Cache": Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    * "Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why cant i download some things without firefox saying " The file could not be saved because you do not have the proper permissions. Choose another save directory.

    when i begin to download some things a pop -up shows up and says that i dont have permission, and that i should choose another save directory. what should i do ?

    Thanks. That let me change the location where I saved it. Plus I can now execute the file. Update downloaded and installed. Success
    The ALT e brought up the toolbar. I picked the Tools tab, Options. Under the General tab was the Downloads options with the radio button for "Always ask me where to save files".
    However, I think the problem is that when my hard drive crashed. HP created the "Valued Customer" and fixed computer under this user. Now I cannot use my Spaniard user name. The "Valued Customer" looks at Spaniard as another user that doesn't have user permissions.
    Do you have any suggestions how to give Spaniard user permissions? Or how to get rid of the Valued Customer?

  • Menu dropdowns dissappear. I loved FFV3 why are there so many changes to Firefox and no update works properly? Can you stick to a version and improve on that one? It seems everything is getting screwed up.

    I think I covered it. I want a stable browser. I work on computers for a living and Firefox has been the proven browser for a very long time and FFV3 was the best browser on the planet. Why fix something that isn't broken. I don't know what other browser will fulfill my needs like firefox did. Why are you guys screwing around with the best browser on the planet? Get it together guys.

    You could take a look at this iTunes Version History on Wikipedia if you want a feel for what goes on in each update and how frequent they are. The last few major updates have been two years apart. Most of the point updates have little impact on the way the user interacts with the software. You don't have to upgrade with each update unless you have bought or upgraded a device that now requires a newer minimum version to work with. E.g. iOS 8 requires iTunes 11.4 or later.
    There are some major layout changes in iTunes 12, but by and large any task that you could do in 11 can be done in 12. For example the new Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions. If you're used to doing everything via a context menu it is going to be confusing to start with. A workaround is to hold down shift as you right-click > get info on a track selection to get the old style dialog.
    Regarding the inability to delete playlists from the device I suspect you were working in the wrong context, i.e. looking at the playlists on the device in say the Music > Playlists sidebar for a device that is synced to the library. You should select the device first from the row of source icons, then Settings > Music from the sidebar, then deselect the playlist in question from the list of playlists scheduled to sync to the device, and sync.

  • Why has my "similar" mouseover feature in GOOGLE image search stopped working?

    When I clear cache and cookies it will work properly for awhile in Foxfire 4, but after resetting my GOOGLE preferences, it stops working properly once again. The earlier version of Foxfire did not have this problem. Also, the "similar" feature continues to work fine in Explorer.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Why with last update of mevericks usb ports and xcode not works ?

    yesterday i install the last update of maverick and now i cant use the time machine, usb key and xcode
    do you have a solution for that ?

    Just waking this thread up again in case anyone has had any other ideas.
    Since last posting, usb became functional again, (came back on a couple of hours after a restart) and as long as I kept the machine alive, usb would stay alive. Bluetooth came back on briefly, but for most of the time was unavailable. System profiler shows no problems and Console does not report any usb related errors as far as I can see.
    After a recent restart, usb disappeared again, and despite numerous restarts and being left on for a couple of days (and subsequently left off for several days) it has not come back. When usb is not working, examining the system profiler (through screen sharing from my macbook) usb shows no errors, but also shows no connected devices. I can charge my ipod nano with any of the usb ports (front or back), so power does not seem to be the issue.
    I can't reset pRAM (because the keyboard is not available at boot), but have reset SMC numerous times. Have tried other keyboards, and mice. No joy.
    I seem to have run out of ideas. Any suggestions?

  • Why is the download link for the upgrade of Lightroom not working?

    Am I the only one, for who the download link https://creative.adobe.com/de/products/de/download/lightroom?promoid=KSKAY ist not working? I just get the error site not found...

    The 5.7 version. I found a different link, which was working, but I wasn't aware that's not just an upgrade but a completely new version you have to pay for again.
    So I think I will stick to my version. But thanks for your answer anyway.

  • Installation problems installing new Canon MG3170 onto MAC Book Pro with OS X 10.7.5.  Tried installing  using set up disk. Didn't work.  Uninstalled files and downloaded drivers from Canon Website. Didn't work. Uninstalled again and plugged printer usb

    Having problems installing Canon MG3170. Anyone have any solutions?  Here is what I have tried:-
    -Installed from provided Canon disk, firstly with wireless connection, then using USB connection.  Printer could not be added because the Macbook returns that the software is not available from Apple for both types of connections.
    -Uninstalled software from the Canon disk, checked for software updates, then downloaded drivers (printer and scanner) from Canon Website.  Again tried to install using wireless connection then USB connecton.  Printer could not be added because Macbook returns that the software is not available from Apple
    -Uninstalled drivers downloaded direct from Canon Website and plugged printer into Macbook using USB, Macbook recognised the printer and searched for the software, again Macbook returns that hte software is not available from Apple.
    Help!

    nrg adjusta,
    Sorry it took me a while to repsond, Ive been pretty busy with school and work. But for my hard drive problem, I did hours and hours of more research and trying countless ways of installing and tweaking things in my laptop and absolutely nothing worked that I could do. It was very irritating because I felt like I was so close to fixing it and I was just missing a step somewhere. Though It still boggles me why the disk utility shows a different capacity for the HD's. One thing I'm going to try next is replacing the hard drive cable that goes from the internal HD to the macbook. I read somewhere that sometimes those can go bad over time, and also if you get a new, modern hard drive, sometimes the old cable (for some odd reason) might not be compatible with the new HD. So i want to test it out for myself to see it that is the actual culprit.
    http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Hard-Drive-Cable/IF186-018
    Once I get the cable and install it I'll let you know the results and if it helped at all.
    Have you made any progress on your hard drive at all? If worst comes worst for you, you can probably get a SATA to USB cable and try to reformat it that way (this is the way that worked for me, but the only problem was it wouldn't be recognized when I installed it internally. Thats why i want to try getting the new cable), and if it still wont recognize it after that, you can just leave it outside of your mac, and just boot from that. The only thing that ***** about that is you have this big hard drive handing off the side of your mac when ever you need to use it.
    Heres a link for a SATA to USB. this one is good because is compact and protects the HD from damage and most static electricity.

    Im still continuing my search for the answer and once i find it (if ever!) I'll post it.
