  1. Firefox Question: Is it possible to auto save files to specific folder


    I have windows 10 home and am using the current version of firefox and would like to know if its possible to auto save specific file types with or without addons to specific folders in downloads. Example if I downloaded a wallpaper for my computer it would be in the file type of a image and I would like to have all image file types saved to specific folder inside downloads. Example all jpeg,gif and other image file types would go into a folder called image or images. And then mp3 or other sound files would go into sound or sounds and so forth. And then ebooks would go into reading folder.

    Has anyone ever done anything like this before with firefox with or without addons. Or is there a browser with setting features or addons that would allow this to be done.

    I know there are people out there that tinker with firefox and other browsers and make themes and addons and other things all the time so I was just would if there was a way to do this or not.

    :)

  3. Saving a file to a folder

    Hello,

    Thanks for getting back to me. I'm opening up an attachment from a google account. When I right click I don't have the 'save as' option also I did not have that option when I checked the 'file' either...

    Please advise.

    Thank you,

    Firefox Question: Is it possible to auto save files to specific folder

    excel not auto recovering and manually saving

    Hi,

    The concern you have encountered with Excel not auto saving may be due to a corrupted file or a misconfigured setting.

    May we ask if you have 3rd party software running when using Excel? If yes, we suggest to temporarily disable it to isolate the issue.

    Any changes made on your computer prior to the issue?

    Have you tried any possible troubleshooting steps? If yes, what are those steps and did you get any error messages?

    You can turn-on the auto save option by the following steps:

    • Open Excel
    • Go to File then Options
    • Under Save option, check the 'Save AutoRecovery information in every' option
    the best way to check when auto save is disabled is to hover over the toggle and read the reason that the popup tool tip identifies. Simply follow the steps provided in this

    article
    .

    According to this
    article
    the autosave function will be disabled when the file is in the old file format .xls.

    Kindly keep us posted with the results.

    Regards.
