Bonjour,

Je ne peux plus utiliser Internet Download Manager, alors qu'hier matin, pas de problème.

Mon navigateur est à jour, j'ai réinstaller plusieurs fois, mais le problème persiste.

L'extension est bien installée, mais l'icône n'apparait pas.

Comment faire.

Merci

The Firefox 'Downloads, Save Files To.." location appears to be disconnected from reality. If I indicate either of the Documents or Desktop folders as the preferred save location, both of those folders present as being empty when in fact they both have numerous files/directories. Even if I try to save in "+ Other Locations", those locations are limited to the same as presented in the 'Browse' window of Home, Desktop, Documents and Downloads. Only the Downloads folder displays correctly.

Also as a result of this limited save location, I can only retrieve a file from the Downloads folder (the attached file was saved in my Documents folder but I had to move it to Downloads.

Why does the saving behavior behave like this?

I have updated the browser to your latest. I have Windows 7 Pro on this system. I cannot download any document or save it as the error is "Failed Download".

Please tell me how to fix this or I cannot use your browser.

Thank You.

Be descriptive. Saying “playing video on YouTube is always choppy” will help us understand the issue better than saying “something is wrong” or “the app is broken”.

Hi there!

Whenever I load the Bank of America home page, a strange 0 byte alphanumeric file shows in the download drop down menu. It happens for each action...loading page, signing in, page navigation, etc.

Any help in understanding what this is and how to fix it will be much appreciated!

TRYING TO DOWNLOAD FOX NATION APP ON MY SONY SMART TV, I HAVE ALREADY PAID MY YEARS SUBSCRIPTION, MY TV PROVIDER IS BLUE STREAM FIBER, WHICH IS NOT LISTER FOR FOX NATION. THEY SAY INSTALL THE APP, FOR SOME REASON I AM GETTING NOWHERE. HELP !!!

My original thread got archived so I'm displaying it again here for reference and so that I can post the fact that I am happy to report that the developers have now corrected this issue as of the latest 135 release. Here are the basics of the previous posts minus the screenshots:

• • • Blue progress bar no longer showing after clicking on download icon in Firefox ***

Some months ago, Firefox stopped displaying the blue progress bars that would normally show once you clicked on the download icon. You still see the usual file info but now the progress bar of the download is gray instead of blue and is extremely hard to see. But if you click on the "show all downloads" link, then the blue progress bar will show as usual for any in-progress downloads in the Library window, as shown in the second screenshot.

It isn't a huge issue but is still annoying when you just want to quickly see the progress of downloads in Firefox. I haven't changed any of the colors in Firefox or in Windows for that matter, I'm currently running Windows 10. All other dialog boxes, windows, etc. all display normally on my system. Just curious if anyone else is having this problem and hopefully a future update can take care of it.

Thanks very much!

I'm still seeing a good color contrast on both the system theme and dark theme (with a smaller file, though). It looks like gray is used when the download is paused (third part of screenshot attached).

Your screenshot doesn't say that the download is paused, but I wonder whether the gray indicates that it is stalled, i.e., not proceeding? On the other hand, if the Ctrl+J Show All Downloads list has the blue bar, then maybe that's not intentional. I think someone will need to dig into the mismatch further.

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.

   Switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
   do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window

Thanks for the replies. The download was not paused in the first screenshot, it was progressing normally. And I started Firefox in Troubleshoot mode and that made no difference, still have the gray download progress bar instead of blue.

As I mentioned above, this issue has finally been fixed. It may have taken them nine months but at least they got the job done. :-)
