Before I upgraded to FF 14, I could give my downloads a unique name. I can no longer do that. Evne if i have selected the option "Always ask me where to save files" . Im able to set where to download them but I am not able to give them my own name. I run Win 7 Home. Its very very inconvenient becuase I have to manually go back and rename 80% of the files I download. IS there a fix??

Hi,

You can consider the Reset Firefox feature via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information. To revert to the previous profile, you can close the new profile, start Firefox and choose the *.default profile. While the Profile Manager is open, you can also delete the newly reset profile (the one containing random numbers).

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
