With Firefox 11, when I save a file (image, etc.) then go to the Downloads manager and try to "Open Containing Folder", Firefox crashes every time for every file type.

Note title.

May be it is something to do with whatever your security software is. Try disabling security scanning of downloads, or tuning off the security software entirely. Remember to turn it on afterwards and use something safe as a download. Try for instance saving the avatar adjacent to these posts.
* see [[Firefox crashes when trying to download a file]]
You should also as a matter of course try firefox in [[safe mode]]
* no need to make changes in the check box options window, just click on cntinue
* use only the default theme, whilst in safe mode aslo disable all plugins
** see also [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Hey duddbudda,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. If you've recently upgraded, you might want to check out [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#w_firefox-crashes-when-i-start-it this article] as well.
Hopefully this helps!

Can't clear a file that keeps on dowloading from the download manager

I clicked a link (linking to a .jpeg) in an e-mail for something I purchased thinking it was an extra to the purchase, but afterwards I realised it was just an Image to accompany the e-mail.
The problem is I can't clear the download from the download manager and everytime Firefox starts it makes a connection to download the file. I tried clicking the "x" next to the download but this just paused the download. I have also tried clicking "Clear Downloads" in the download Library but this didn't help.
How can I remove this file from the download manager ?
Thank you

Hey philipp, thanks for your answer! I wasn't aware it was a bug with the beta. I voted for it to be fixed.
Thanks!

When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

Hello, we seem to have a bug with premiere. When I save some work that I´ve been doing, close premiere and open it up there is nothing saved. But 24 hours later everything is saved. It seem that it takes almost a day for the program to get the saved data.

Hello, I have a problem with premiere. When I save material that I´ve been working on and close Premiere it is gone when I open it up again. So it doesn´t save it seem but 24 hours later it all there. It is like Premiere has a syncproblem with saving and takes 24 hours to complete the task. Anyone knows what could be the problem?

uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

I am using a Mac and when I save my files as a jpeg, the files become much smaller, and consequently darker and blurrier. What can I do to fix this?

I am using a Mac and when I save my files as a jpeg, the files become much smaller, and consequently darker and blurrier. What can I do to fix this? I have tried to figure out how to chat with someone at Adobe, but they certainly don't make it easy to do. At the moment, this program is useless to me. Very depressing....

Hello,
I would like to inform you that not all the browsers and online PDF readers support copying text from a PDF. If you have opened the PDF online, please download PDF file to your computer and then open the file in Adobe Reader.
Please share a screenshot if the issue still persists.

When I save a pdf file and try to open it I get an error message

When I save a pdf file and try to open it I get an error message, "Adobe Reader could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
When I try to open it with Preview I get this message, "file name.pdf” could not be opened because it is empty."
I am running Maverick OS X 10.9.1. What's up with this?

Good question (I'm not a Mac guy these days).
But Adobe Reader is only viewing the file as it has been saved. If it happens to all pdf files from all sources, I would begin to investigate your OS (and possible permissions but I'm not sure) maybe in the Apple forums.

How can I get firefox to highlight downloaded file when opening containing folder in linux mint 13

When I use open containing folder to locate the download, the file is not highlighted which, given the size of my downloads folder, makes it a chore to locate the file (especially when you've forgotten what it's named).
The file manager I'm using is nemo.
I can manually run nemo with the full path to the file as the second parameter via the command line and it will highlight the file.
Is there a config option somewhere that I can change to pass in the full file path and not just the containing folder path?

I have the exact same problem.
The source of the problem is that on Linux there is no single file manager.
I tried to determine if firefox uses xdg-open or some other technique by searching the source but have not found it yet.
If the proper call is used, for most file explorers this function can be realised.
If xdg-open is used, it should be patched, which I also tried and has not yielded results yet.
What would help me pick this up further is the answer to the question: what does firefox use to open the file in the download manager?

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

When i add text to PDFs and work on the file for awhile, my red added text starts to turn into red X's with a box around them. I have OCRs turned off, i have the latest update, and i have registered the product. What is happening to my text while i'm working on these files? On top of this, my red arrows get moved around also.

Firefox 4.01 downloads files but the downloads windows greys out the "Open" and "Open containing folder" options and I can't trace the files

Three days ago I upgraded to Firefox 4.01. I downloaded several files that were ok. Yesterday and today I downloaded one powerpoint file and a an apple *.dmg file.
On the Download window these two files I can see with the total mb in size. However when I right click the file list in the Download window the "Open" and "Open containing folder" options are greyed out. What is more I cannot find these files anywhere on my computer when I use Windows Explorer to search.
It seems that this happened after I tried to download a Firefox add on from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/64761/amazonassist-0.7.2.6-fx.xpi and my antivirus picked up the JS/Kryptik.AK trojan and terminated the connection. Is there a link with the problem I am experiencing?
I use Windows 7 professional, Firefox 4.01

You're welcome
