Downloads Downloading But Not Saving
May 16th, 2009 | 
Author: I hate wasting time and today I spent three hours looking for an answer as to why all of a sudden, just from last night, downloads seemed to be downloading, but they were not saved to the location I specified. They weren’t saving in any location. This was in both Firefox and IE.
I can tell you after the first 10 Google searches and having read through about 100 pages that were not really relevant, I was REAL mad. I did however, finally, find a page that sorted the problem … http://support.mozilla.com/ca/kb/Unable+To+Download+Or+Save+Files, specifically this part … http://support.mozilla.com/ca/kb/Unable+To+Download+Or+Save+Files#Disable_virus_scanning_in_Firefox_preferences
It solved the problem in Firefox, but not in IE.
I am using AVG and had not had any problems up until last night. I don’t know if it is due to AVG or something else.
I decided to provide the fix for everyone here as it is a pain to find the right information or even something that is relevant to now. I spent a half hour looking for a file that is not included anymore in Firefox 3.0.
Anyway, I now have to scan all my files by hand before I extract or install them, but at least they are downloading.
Have you ever come accross this issue? How did you solve it? Share your fixes here.

The Best Mozilla Firefox BackUp Tool
Image from Wikipedia
I haven’t written for a few days because I have been backing up my laptop in order to put it back to factory settings because it was doing some very strange things. It has now been completed and believe it or not one of my biggest worries was that I would loose all my internet browsing history and passwords. I know how to back up my bookmarks and although I would have been upset to loose them the history and passwords, to me, is worth much more.
I use Mozilla Firefox because I love all the add ons and customisation options. After a short search on good old Google I found an add on to back up my user profile, but after reading the reviews it seemed that many had issues, but someone mentioned MozBackup (you can read about it here) working perfectly first time so I downloaded both and made a backup using both.
Now that my laptop is fully restored, the first thing I wanted to do was to get my history back, so I crossed my fingers and ran through MozBackup … it worked 
Yes, it worked first time without any issues and everything was restored in one go; history, passwords, bookmarks, cookies (if you choose them), options and add ons. The only issue I had was that it did not keep my rss feeds in the rss feed reader that you can add on, but that was fine as I had made a separate back up of them just in case. Just by having my history and passwords all in order I can forgive that very very small shortcoming.
I therefore recommend everyone to use Mozilla Firefox and to download MozBackup and make regular back ups of your user profile. That way if anything bad happens you can restore it all in just a few clicks.
If you do not yet have Mozilla Forefox, in my opinion the best browser around today, you can download it for free by clicking on the button on the top right hand navigation menu.

The New Wordpress Release Is Fab
Listen guys if you have wordpress already installed on your site you absolutely have to upgrade. The new dashboard is fab and there are some new widgets included to make life much easier for you.
I have not had the chance to play around with it completely yet, but from what I have seen so far I am thrilled to bits. It is going to make my life much easier
I also thought you might be interested in a new site that can add photos and articles to your wordpress blog posts directly from your dashboard without having to open any other browsers or configuring any plugins. It only works with the Firefox browser though. You can read about it on the main website, but here is a short video on how it works …
Zemanta Blogger integration from zemanta on Vimeo.
I have installed it, but so far it does not seem to be working. I have submitted a support ticket as it may be due to the fact that I have upgraded to the new version of wordpress. I will let you know what they said. I hope they get it working as for bloggers it sounds like a great little tool.
