Go on Tools and click on Downloads [ctrl and J] and that should bring up the Download Manager.


And i think by default, the things are supposed to be saved on your desktop. But check on Tools - Options - Downloads to see where the files are being saved to insha'Allaah.

Try doing this insha'Allaah:


Tools - Options - Downloads


Then tick:

- Show Download Manager window when a download begins.


and untick

- Close the Download Manager when all downloads are complete.



Click on OK and try saving a picture, the same way you mentioned earlier

mouse rightclick, save Image as

The download box should come up insha'Allaah, and it won't close once the download is complete insha'Allaah.

So if the picture is within the downloaded list, double click on the image [within the download list] and see if it works. And try to search around in the location where you might have saved it to (i.e. desktop.)



wa Allaahu a'lam.

:sl:
i do search and i dont find it at all

Why not save files off Internet Explorer, then quickly switch back to firefox when surfing.. insha'Allaah.

Perhaps you could try a 3rd party download manager which integrates into firefox such as FlashGot

[afriend]

Who cares about firefox when you have The New Internet Explorer 7.0!!! :smile:

This is basically a Carbon Copy of firefox but uses less than a quarter of Hard disk space.

And it is also very secure, you get same as you would have on firefox:

IE 7

[waji]

:sl:

yes thats right

:w:

[A7med]

quarter of Hard disk space.

:-\ no it dont!

[Uthman]

Salaam,

He means it uses less than a quarter of the hard disk space that firefox uses.

:sl:

There is also this add-on download manager which is supposed to be better anyway. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/201/

:sl: JazakAllah khair for that.

[~Stranger~]

:sl:
but how do u use that??
:w:

[MH-UK]

:sl:

OK, Click here to install it. Click on install. Then restart firefox.

Now say for example you want to save an image.

You right click it and select dTaOneClick! and for some reason it didn't work for me :?

Anyway you can use this to download links.

:sl:

I really don't know why firefox won't let you download the files directly.

However, look at Firefox Addons and see if you can find something suitable.

it takes it so long to download.
