Suddenly, I am unable to save any images from any website (jpg, gif so
far...) to my desktop, or to anywhere else on my computer.

I don't think I've changed any settings... it works fine in IE 6.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on? I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.6

Thanks!

Carmen

click on Tools, Downloads, and clean up the download manager. Does it
work now?

Absolutely nothing. In other words, I go through every step you have to take
when saving a picture, but when I go look for the picture, there's nothing
there... but it works in IE (insert
uncomfortable-looking-I-have-just-touched-something-slimy shiver here!

Strange, huh?! I think I may just try re-installing Firefox and see what
happens. Probably just one of those ripples in the time-space continuum...

1) Which theme are you using? Try to revert to Firefox' default theme
(Tools > Themes, and restart FF).

2) Open the Javascript console (Tools > JavaScript Console), clear
messages already there. Then try to save an image, and look at the JS
console if any messages appear.

3) Start Firefox in safe-mode. Can you save an image in safe-mode? [In
safe mode, all extensions are disabled, and the default FF theme is used.]
To start in safe-mode, close FF completely, then in Windows use Start >
Mozilla Firefox > Firefox (Safe Mode). See also
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode>.

It would be a lot easier if you bottom posted thanks. Answers follow
questions in chronological sequence then.


Try changing the destination you are saving to, try just the desktop for
example. any luck?

close FF, then using your file manager, locate the file downloads.rdf
which is located in the FF profile. Once found, delete it. Now try
again. Does it work this time?

To locate your FF profile, you can read this:
http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit#profile

but if you're using windows, then you must read this first:

I assume you use Windows.

To make sure that Fx understands image types, you could try to make Fx
smaller than your computer screen, i.e. not maximized. Then load a page
that contains some image of known type, like GIF or something. Grab the
image using the mouse pointer, and drag the image onto the (now) visible
Desktop and drop it there.

If you don't get a "target accepts dragged object" mouse pointer (i.e. a
small square around the tip of the pointer) but a "stop sign," and
subsequently no image, you probably have some very weird problems in
your installation.
