Firefox 2.0 Doesn't Save As...

[Sepu]

Maybe someone know why?
I installed it but when I click "Save as" and then "Save" for a file, I can't see the file on my HD, so nothing is saved!!

Any idea about this one?

Thanks
Chris

Never had a problem with firefox like that but the file might be saved to temp folder.

check your settings to see where the default download directory is.

thanks for the replies guyz but I already checked the directory it's weird because I already tried to uninstall it and install it back.

Hey man,

did u check out THIS Mozilla Support Page. It deals with problems regarding downloads. Might be worth read a bit. Gives various suggestions you could maybe give a try.

I had a similar problem a while back now.

I would save files and they wouldn't appear, I would bookmark pages - nothing.


In the end the only way to fix it was to do a completely fresh install. And by that I mean completely. Like deleting all the directories, and all the mozilla and firefox entries from the registry. If you google search it there's some instructions about how to do a fresh install like this online - that's how I found out!

Everytime i go to save a picture,or save a torrent link,it totally freezes up...and takes ages to quit the browser....its very annoying...and i dont like firefox anymore!!

Will check the link Sorroman posted,and see if theres any help on it

anyway it's weird, I used it for 2 years before, never had any problem!

ok I did these steps:

Exit Firefox completely
Open the Firefox profile folder (read this for help finding it)
Delete the downloads.rdf file (it will be regenerated when needed).

Now it works correctly!!! Really weird...

Btw thanks man for the help!
