Firefox Support Forum

I have clicked the 'always ask where to save download' box, but the save files to downloads is still active. How do I get it to ask me where to download to every time?

See pix. I have my PC set to NOT auto update, yet it still does. Every time you guys post an update (which is super frequent) it locks up my PC for an hour or more! I have to restart it several times before it reconnects to the internet.

Out of the blue, I can no longer download files using the download arrow. I used to get the prompt asking where to download the files but now don't get anything. I'll get a zip.part file on my desktop, where I have my downloads saved, but that's it. I've updated Firefox, restarted, uninstalled/reinstalled and nothing works.

I can't change the name of one of my firefox profiles. I have an error where the name is too long and it cannot be changed. Is there any way to do this other than creating a new profile and deleting the old one?

Hi,

I have an Acer Chromebook. I just downloaded the Firefox browser so I could use the Stardoll website. It's not really available through Chrome because you need the launcher to play now and it's doens't work with Chrome. I tried to download the launcher with Firefox but when I try to open the download, it just says 'no app found to open exe file.' I also tried to download the Flash add-on and it says the same thing. My laptop is on a Chrome OS. Will I be able to fix this problem?

TIA

Firefox disappeared from my computer late Sunday night.

I have not been able to reinstall it.

After downloading the installer the process seem to proceed okay at first. But the progress bar stalls at about 95%. Then the installer sends a message that says something like installation failed.

Please help me.

I have been using Firefox for a decade: I have never had this problem.

Like i want the Beta programs but i dont want the beta bugs..... So basically i dont know if yall could help me out at all. should i gert the

I upgraded my MacBook Pro (Intel) to Monterey 12.0.1 and now Firefox 94.1 will not access the internet - no error messages, just hangs. I have re-installed Firefox and Monterey but no change. Meanwhile Chrome works perfectly.

Any ideas?

(I am using another machine for this query.)

Mac 12.0.1 User here. While attempting to upgrade from 94.01 to 94.02(and now seriously wondering why) I clicked on the downloaded .dmg file to open it and I was informed that there was no app capable of doing so. Then just to be mean, the file name was changed from awholebunchofletters&#s.dmg to awholebunchofletters&#s.dmg.part

...and not by me.

I have today commissioned a new HP laptop running Windows 10.

I have downloaded Firefox and done a straightforward installation. I have viewed a couple of web pages but notice that when right clicking there is no longer a screenshot facility in the little menu box that appears. Trying Control + Shift + S does not work either.

I am writing this using Firefox 93.0 for Linux Mint on an old Toshiba Satellite and I have the facility - both right click and keyboard.

Has the facility been discontinued in the later version?

Many thanks in advance

I accidentally deleted Firefox ESR that worked fine for years on my old Macbook Pro laptop (2009) running El Capitan OS 10.11.6. Now I can't reinstall it unless my OS is a minimum of 10.12. I don't want to mess with attempting an OS upgrade for fear of losing files and photos. This computer is strictly a nostalgic backup that I would like to keep functioning for a while longer. Any way around this?
