Firefox help

[Wizrdwarts]

Every time I download something in Firefox, any type of file, .exe, music, etc, the downloads window appears. When it finishes, the "Downloads completed" box in the bottom right corner of my screen pops up. But then the downloaded item disappears from the downloads window. Any help?

Are you running Vista by any chance. I had this problem running Vista Basic but when i upgraded to HP the problem went.

Try uninstalling Firefox & reinstalling.

create a shortcut for the folder to the desktop

I already did. I don't want it to be a permanent solution though.

I hate the IE7 skin...

Is there a good adblocker for IE7 that's as good as Adblock?

Tools > Options > Main tab, there used to be a tickbox there about clearing completed downloads, dont know if it still there or not.

I use IE7, too. It has everything I need. A nice skin that matches windows vista, windows live messenger 8.5, AND my monitor, it has tabs like firefox (for those tab fanatics) and a great popup blocker!

Nope. It doesn't say anything about clearing files. If it helps I am using Adblock Plus, Fasterfox, and the Winestripe theme.

Try this. In the address bar type in about:config, then in the Filter type in download, then look for the following line,

browser.download.manager.retention

the value should be set to 0, right click, select Modify and change it to 1. Restart Firefox. Now it will retain what you have downloaded in the Download box, at least until you close Firefox. If you want what you have downloaded to be there always (or until you remove them manually) then set it to 2.
