A tarball of the Firefox 3.5 source code is available for download. The latest development code can be obtained through Mercurial. Firefox-specific source is in mozilla-central's "browser", "toolkit", and "chrome" directories. Please follow the build instructions.
Mozilla Firefox 3.5 Download For Mac
Versions of Acrobat Reader exist for all major computer platforms, including Windows, Macintosh, LINUX and several other operating systems. To download the reader, you'll need a Web browser connected to the Internet. Please follow the instructions on the Adobe Acrobat download page to install the Acrobat Reader.
Adobe Systems, Inc. is producing various products designed to make PDF documents accessible to persons using screen reading software. Their accessibility web pages describe their efforts. They also have a free downloadable accessibility plug-in called, MakeAccessible. This plug-in runs under Microsoft Windows 95 OSR 2.0, Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT 4.0 with SP 5 or SP 6, Windows 2000, or Windows XP. Each system should have at least 64 MB (128 MB recommended) of RAM per processor, 200 MB of virtual memory, and 870 K of disk space available. The MakeAccessible Plug-in creates a tagged Adobe PDF file from an untagged PDF file. This allows a PDF document to be read by a screen reader.
Once you've downloaded and installed the Acrobat Reader, you'll be able to view PDF files simply by clicking on the link to the PDF file in your browser. Either the browser will handle the PDF file, or it will bring up another program for viewing the PDF file. Either way, a window will appear that contains buttons that work only for PDF files. Use these buttons to navigate through the file.
Once you get byteserving working, if you'd like the full document to be downloaded in the background even as you browse through it, select the "Allow Background Download of Entire File" option in the General Preferences of the Acrobat Reader.
A Zip format allows either extremely large files, or files created in formats no longer widely used, to be combined and compressed and thus downloaded with more speed and ease. The user requires an "unzip" utility to extract files from an archive (all files for downloading have been compressed using zip archiving and compression). CEDS uses Zip archiving for several of its newer applications, such as video, and for many data sets. In addition, some older reports are available only in a combination of file formats, such as Lotus .WK1 format for tables and plain ASCII for the text.
Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer This download is for users who don't have Microsoft PowerPoint; The PowerPoint Viewer 2003 allows people who use PowerPoint to share their presentations with people who do not have PowerPoint installed on their computers for versions Powerpoint 97 and later. You can use this viewer to view files created in both PowerPoint for Windows and PowerPoint for the Macintosh. You can view and print presentations, but you cannot edit them in the PowerPoint Viewer.
Initially running on 32-bit systems, Mozilla Firefox updated to a 64-bit MSI package for Windows in 2016. The main advantages include improved download protection, process separation, and specific customizations on the web browser. While you can use the interface bar like a search engine, Google appears as the default.
Meanwhile, Mozilla is on the brink of releasing the first beta of Firefox 3.6, a version that will add the Personas feature for a customizable look. Mozilla, trying to move to a faster Firefox release cycle, is debating whether to issue 3.6 as a minor release that arrives automatically or a major release that people must actively download.
Firefox will automatically download files to a default location (e.g., to the Desktop or, depending on your operating system, to a special "Downloads" folder) unless you've selected a different download folder or you've set Firefox to ask where to save every file. [1] [2] [3] If downloads fail or if Firefox hangs downloading files it may be related to the download location; for example, the download folder may contain a lot of images [4], may be corrupt or inaccessible [5] or the folder may no longer exist. [6] [7]
To choose a different download folder, go to "Tools -> Options" and under "General / Downloads" ("Main / Downloads" in Firefox 3.5), select "Save files to" (if not already selected) and click the "Browse" button ("Choose" button on Mac OS X).
Note: In cases where the "Ask me where to save files" option has been selected, the problem may be related to the last-selected download folder. Instead of choosing a download folder you can try resetting the browser.download.lastDir preference in about:config (see below).
Firefox may have lost track of which folder to use for the download directory. Symptoms would include "File - > Save Page As" and the "Save Image As" and "Save Link As" right-click context menu options not functioning or nothing downloading when you select the "Save" option in the Firefox "Opening" dialog box [8] [9]
The solution may be as simple as choosing a different download folder, then going back and re-selecting your preferred download settings in Firefox Tools -> Options under "General / Downloads" ("Main / Downloads" in Firefox 3.5). For example, if "Always ask me where to save files" is selected, select "Save files to" and choose a download folder, then go back and re-select "Always ask me where to save files". [10]
Enter about:config in the address bar. A list of preferences will appear. Scroll through the list ( or type browser.download in the Filter box) and reset any of the following preferences that have a user set status (right-click on the preference and click "Reset"):
Whenever you attempt to download a file, you may see the error, could not be saved, because an unknown error occurred. (Save As.. will still work). To fix this problem on Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier, open Safari Preferences and check the "Save downloaded files to:" setting. If this is pointing to an invalid directory, it will cause downloads in Firefox to fail. Select a valid directory, such as your Desktop. Note that Safari no longer controls the default download location in Leopard (10.5). [11] [12]
You can clear the download history to see if this resolves download issues. In the Firefox (Tools) menu, go "Downloads" and click "Clear Downloads". This will remove the stored history of downloaded files in Firefox, not the actual files that are stored on your computer.
If clearing the list doesn't help or it causes Firefox to hang or crash (or if the Downloads window is already empty), you can manually clear the download history in older Firefox versions, as follows:
Download history is now stored in the Places database, in the same file as browsing history. The downloads.sqlite file was removed in Firefox 26. The file "downloads.json" is used for paused downloads. [13] [14]
Note: In older Firefox versions you could set Firefox "Privacy" options under "Tools -> Options -> Privacy / "Firefox will:" -> "Use custom settings for history" to not save a download history (by clearing the "Remember download history" checkbox) or to set Firefox to clear the download history at exit (by selecting "Clear history when Firefox closes", clicking the "Settings..." button and selecting "Download History" in the "Settings for Clearing History" window). It is no longer possible to automatically clear just the download history, although this feature has been requested (bug 838681). [15]
Firefox may be set to handle certain types of files with an automatic action and sometimes it is not what you want or may result in errors. For example, Firefox may automatically open a certain file type with an application or plugin, when you would rather save the file. Check for entries related to the problem file type via "Tools -> Options -> Applications" and change the action. For more information, see File types and download actions.
Information about other download managers can be found at PluginDoc. If you find any of these plugins, remove the plugin files from the Firefox plugins folder (usually C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins) or disable the plugins via "Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins". See Issues related to plugins for more information.
Problematic extensions can cause download or file-saving issues, such as nothing happening when you click a download link [25] or a missing "Save File" option in the "Opening" dialog [26] (in the latter case, press the "Enter" key as a workaround). To see if an extension is causing your problem, disable it from the Add-ons manager ("Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions") or via Firefox Safe Mode. Since certain extensions also modify preference settings, you may also need to reset those preferences via about:config (or reset all preferences).
You may see the above message when you click a link to download an executable (.exe) file. This problem can be caused by a conflict with your antivirus scanner and a firewall product such as Comodo Firewall (see this Comodo forum topic for details).
Some firewalls continue to be active when disabled in the user interface, so disabling the firewall may be ineffective. As a workaround, temporarily disable your resident antivirus scanner when downloading an executable file, then re-enable it when the download is complete.
Note: PC Tools ThreatFire (formerly Cyberhawk) can also cause the message, could not be saved, because an unknown error occurred when downloading certain types of files. [29] If you cannot work around the problem or resolve it by updating the software, consider using another security product. 2ff7e9595c
