Firefox-Hilfeforum

I run XP SP3 on a Dell Latitude D610 laptop. When I upgraded to FF 25.1, I found the downloader wouldn't run; the website (FileHippo.com) was sending files, but FF showed no signs of download activity. I added the Download toolbar (which I had used before), but it didn't work either. I was able to download the files I needed using IE, so the problem doesn't seem to be either the files or the website, so it's probably FireFox-related

For the last several versions of Firefox, all attempts at PDF downloads fail. On rare occasions I can go to Save As..., get a dialogue box and save the file. But 80+% of the time it just fails and I have to go and paste the URL into Safari to get the file. Every time Ffx. upgrades I think this might get fixed, but it hasn't. I'm running AdBan and Do Not Track Me in both browsers, so that shouldn't be the issue. Please advise.

I have been trying to download Simple Sticky Notes to my computer. I am using Windows 8. I have added download.com to allowed sites in the Security tab. When I click on the down arrow to retrieve the downloaded file, I see it there but it will not open. I have downloaded the file many times and it will not open.

It works on most videos but there are several that won't download properly. Whenever I try it says "0 bytes" and the video won't play with Media Player, Realplayer, or any other program. Does anyone know how to fix this or another Firefox addon for me to try? I also tried downloading the videos with Realplayer's download too but that won't work either.

When saving GoComics comics, the filename is a 32-character hex number instead of the initials and date that GoComics provides as a filename. This changed when Firefox upgraded itself to 39.0. Can I fix this? (My husband just upgraded his Linux computer to the lastest Linux version, and it now does the same thing.)

Hi,

I've downloaded 1300 files in the same time via firefox, which lead to firefox to crash and when ever I strat the download resume and do crash. i tried to enter via safemode but i could't remove the download queue.

Hi. I'm deployed with the Army in Romania. When I found out I was deploying, I had a huge library of movies, tv, and music on an external hard drive. I have it synched with my home system, and to remedy this, got a second external hard drive and a computer with a wee tiny baby sized hard drive (25gb). I never download anything onto it, but it fills up just the same. Now it's gotten so full that I can't save a single thing. My external has 500 free gigs, so I went into Mozilla Options to change the destination folder. Seems easy, right? It won't take though. Not even for a second. I click on the "Browse" button next to where it says: Save files to: (default setting is downloads). I then browse to the external, which, by the way, is working very well otherwise. I get to my desired "new" download folder, select the folder, then the Save files to: still says "Downloads."

I like Firefox, and prefer it to anything out there. My wife likes Safari and Opera as well as Firefox, but I use these only when on her computer. Like most sane people, I loathe Internet Explorer Version: All, but am now at my wits end on this problem. I'm still going to use Firefox for most things, but will use the detestable IE only because I can't dl even a different browser (like I don't even have 10 KB of space!) If you have a fix plz let me know. Downloading a patch is currently not an option, as again, I can't download anything at all.

Hello,

I could also noticed that sometimes FF does not finishes the its downloads : that point is really annoying (I'm using Download manager S3 which is really basic). Some times (specially when the Internet connexion is heavy loaded (e.g; when a lot of download are done by uGet at the same time) , some downloads simply put them in standby, without the ability to restart them which is very annoying.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

When I try to login to adobe.com.au, I get a dialog box asking me what to do with a login.do file. I do not have this problem on any other website I login to, and I can login to the site using IE or Chrome. It worked some weeks back but I am not sure what version of FF that was or what Windows 7 level it was before any Win7 updates. Adobe tells me it is a FF problem but I am not so sure.

TIA

Steve

After "Refresh"ing Firefox, it now by default saves a file with the page title, not the filename. I can no longer find out how to change this default behaviour (presumably I'd used an addon that has been deleted). This is extremely inconvenient - many archives have large numbers of filenames like "<number>.txt", e.g. "234567.txt", but all with the same title. I don't understand why keeping the old Firefox default was not made an option when you changed to saving by title!

How to download directories from the Mozilla old Firefox version website? https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

On macOS Sierra. I've used programs like DownThemAll but I can't get them to download the whole version directory. None of the guides online help.

Seriously. This is downright stupid. I attempted to download Firefox for the first time on this laptop and got a "This file is corrupt" error before the downloading portion was even done. I cancelled the download and retried and it went all the way though although it froze temporarily around the 66% mark and then finished. But after that I got "couldn't load XPCOM" so I did I completely uninstalled Firefox and then attempted to reinstall and again at the 66% mark at downloading I got "Couldn't load XPCOM"...the heck is going on with this oversized hunk of junk?

just like the question says, is there any add-on that lets me control/limit my download speed ? for example i have a 2 Mbps connection, i want my download speed to be exactly 200 KB. any add-on out there that allows me to do just that ? thank you

Hello I recently downloaded the latest version of Firefox 54 for Linux. Everything worked great however even after making it the default browser links from external programs such as Pidgin won't open in a new tab in firefox. Instead a new window will pop-up with my home page. I've tried solving it by uninstalling the other version of firefox I downloaded from the repository (Firefox 45)

I fear it might be because I didn't really install it, instead I just ran the file directly form the download labed just firefox. It seems to be working fine and there was no README file so I assumed that was the way it should've been done.

when i download anything it doesent download , and even not seen in downloads, sometimes it downloads without extention and random nameDownloading problem in existing firefox web browser
