Mozilla Firefox problem (save a .jpg)
Hey now.
The other day I updated Firefox. v1.5.0.11?? I'm still on Win2000Pro. I noticed some coverart posted, and tried to save the pic. It's not saved. Had to do it with IE. Anyone else had this problem?

Re: Mozilla Firefox problem (save a .jpg)
When you say it wasn't saved, do you mean you got an error? If you just couldn't find it (in the normal place), did you try opening up Downloads (Tools > Downloads) and seeing if the cover is listed there? If it is, then right-click Open Containing Folder and it will show you were it saved it.

Re: Mozilla Firefox problem (save a .jpg)
No no, no errors.
No sign of it in the download manager, in fact, I can't download anything properly, like I used to. I wanted to save a file I was going to d/l from a rapidshare-type place, but it doesn't even show up in d/l manager... yet it did begin saving where i wanted. But I can't save a pic. They don't show up in d/l mangr. I'm on Win2000Pro. I think you're a Mac girl, no? Anyway, I right click and save as... but no go. I always used to do it this way, no prob. Gotta open an IE6 window of the same page to save a pic. Buggy or what?

Re: Mozilla Firefox problem (save a .jpg)
Yeah, I'm a Mac gal. Instead of doing the right-click thing, what happens if you just click on it?

Re: Mozilla Firefox problem (save a .jpg)
Just (left) clicking on a pic either does nothing, or depending on the website, could bring me elsewhere...
It's not just happening here for me. So far, just a bit of inconvenience and pain to go to IE6 to save a jpg I can still get a torrent going! Just boggling how it stopped working. I guess I'm virus-bound or something...? ...but you wouldn't know anything about that, eh? Maybe it'll go away on its own eventually?

Re: Mozilla Firefox problem (save a .jpg)
try right-click > save image

Re: Mozilla Firefox problem (save a .jpg)
I always used to right click to save. It's stopped working right.
Download manager in firefox. It used to come up and tell me each pic/file saved - where it was saved, how long until d/l complete bar, etc. I noticed the other day it was broken... ...I checked for updates, and there was one. It seemed to update. I'm on the 1.5.something version. I seem to have some recollection of it saying something about a 2.0 version available now, but??? Maybe I'll try a re-in tomorrow...

Re: Mozilla Firefox problem (save a .jpg)
I got a PM from someone, here it is:
Hey, I saw your post in the Who thread, but you didn't look back at it. The way to fix your problem is to first close Firefox, then go to Start>Run>and type in %appdata%, then follow the path Mozilla>Firefox>Profiles, and there is only one more folder inside that, but the name varies. Go into it, and find the file called downloads.rdf, and delete it. Then restart Firefox. I did it and it worked. If anyone gets this wierd bug, that's the easy way to fix.
