Is your tablet rooted? you may need the sdcard fix due to 4.4 sdcard write to sdcard issue. Try to configure firefox to use internal storage if you're not rooted.

Tell us more about your device, is it root? stock firmware? custom recovery?

I'm with Buhohitr, except that I KNOW that your (OP) problem is Kitkat's write protection. I had this exact same problem after first installing KK. To fix it, use SDFix ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix), but you have to be rooted.

I am experiencing the same issue with firefox but also with other browsers like dolphin (with different error message) . but not only with browsers but also with es explorer . i applied all the fixes sd fix etc while rooted , i also tried unrooted . my internal sd is only affected by this not the external. I cant change anything in internal sd it is like locked. This is happening only in the official kitkat rom and the problem appeared all of a sudden.

Try this fixer:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jrummy.sdfix
I had to use two different apps, one for my LG phone, and the other for my tablet. One app kind of worked on my tablet, but not 100%. I cant remember which app I used on which device though.

Thanks for your suggestion. I finally fixed the issue first by installing supersu( already have towelroot) . After that i installed the following fixers : sd fix, sd fix tool and int sdcard write fix. The problem is solved with all browsers and es explorer. Maybe towelroot alone without supersu didnt left the fixers work before. I am not sure.

Same here
I also have the same Problem on my rooted Samsung XCover2. BUT this has Android 4.1.2 and most of the apps wich helped you didn't work on my older android version. What can I do??? Could I do anything with ADB, like force installing these apps, or do I have to reset it on the stock rom? What als a problem could be is, that I installed the false baseband version, but everything works except this :/
Please help me

[Q] "No SD Card" error in Chrome

I updated my Vzw GNex to the vzw 4.2.2 ota this afternoon. Everything works fine except when I try to download something from chrome I get a message saying "No SD card" when I click a download link. I can access the sd card just fine with rootexplorer and the stock browser downloads things just fine. I tried clearing cache and data for chrome and even uninstalled and reinstalled it. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a way to fix it?

I am seeing the same issue on my GNex running AOKP mr-1 build 6. I have not found a fix yet.
Of note: I do NOT have this issue on my Xoom running 4.2.2 [baked_wingray_bb-8]
Try making a copy of your sdcard and factory resetting, then copy all the files over using MTP, not ADB.
I get that if i copy files over using ADB.

Mach - Thank you for your response. I have to ask though, is there any other way?
Per your recommendation I began to copy my sdcard but quickly realized that given the amount of data on my phone this would be painful using standard methods. Windows [7] was reporting no progress and seemed as if it was going to take forever to copy the contents and applications like RichCopy and TeraCopy do not see MTP devices
In the end, I simply used 'adb pull' to copy the contents. So, while it's good that I have a copy, I'm not sure how I plan to restore the copy after a factory reset without using 'adb push', which you said sometimes causes the issue. I always thought that using 'adb' was considered more reliable than the MTP interface.
Recommendations?
Thank you.
Hi, if you are running Xprivacy you should check if you have denied the 'Storage' permission for Google Chrome. That was the problem in my case.. :silly:

Hi, sorry it took a long time to reply, I just saw it. Xprivacy is an Xposed mod to manage the permissions for each app. If you haven't installed it then it is not causing you any problems!
In regards to my aforementioned issue.
"Cannot download due to SD card missing" Error.
Simply open a terminal emulator and type in the following.
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0
Reboot and it should work thereafter.
wrong thread, genius, sorry.
(that is the solution though )

I had the problem with my Galaxy S3 running Lineage OS 14.1. This helped, Thanks!
I have just found another and simply solution in no rooted devices. Just open file manager and rename 'Download' folder to 'Download2' and then the system will automatically recreate 'Download' folder. Now, you are able to download.

Check your SD card on another device. The card could have gone bad (can't write, occasional problems reading, can't format). I've had it happen to me twice.
If system files are on the SD card, read-only can cause problems. Last time I had that happen, I believe I ended up reflashing a clean stock ROM and starting over
Recommend saving app data (not the apps as one of them could be the problem) before nuking your flash though.

The point is Katkat v4.4.x dont allow apps to write or install in sdcard, you just change The permissions to write.
In your case , install by a clean setup The Stockrom, root it, change The Permission to write on sdcard at Platform.xml with a root Explorer.

SM-T805 just won't let edit files on SD

Just purchased my galaxy tab s. When I found out how it behaves with external memory rooted it at once, did the thing for read/write permissions, disabled this weird safety feature and... It does not alow editing files to any program which causes a big problem when I try to use "iGO" navigator for example which keeps its files on SD, or use some office program to edit any content on SD... It does alow creating and deleting files though.
Any ideas? Many thanks in advance!
I guess it's a kitkat problem. I heard in lollipop google returned to full read write access to SD cards.
Or try using a custom kernel

I only found topics about sd r/w problems where they say that I need to root and run some code (or edit some file manually) to fix permissions. Well I did it... But I couldn't find anyone talking about editing... I can get around that by saving an edited file in diferent name, deleting the original and renaming it back to original... But programs I try to use does not do tricks like that :silly:
Was your problem similar? Any links regarding the fix of this?

Well I have always ran skyhigh kernel for my sd card. Even if rooted with the sd fix my sd card still worked fine(on stock rom). Perhaps it could be the file manager your using? Well i also seen the r/w fix by editing a file but that was months ago and I forget how to do it. Sometimes sd fix app would say its fixed, but it wasnt. So using another app from the playstore could fix it? Hope this helps

The file seems to be edited properly but none of programs are able to edit files. Biggest problem at the moment that iGO won't save its configuration and shut down when a route is entered. I assume it is because of unability to edit files in sd also

MM and Samsung roms fully support reading and writing to the sdcard. All that is required is for the app to ask for authorisation.
If it doesn't ask it's a bad app.
ADM also works fine with MM and sdcard.

NEED HELP! Cant/Denied access internal/emulated storage

i wanted to install new stock rom from here but fastboot wont install it so i went to twrp and tried to flash it from there but during flashing twrp just rebooted itself and saying installation wasnt sucessful, i figured this is due to S-On but prior to flashing it i did possibly the stupidest thing, i went to ADVANCED WIPE and wiped every option on the list(dalvik,system,data,internal storage,cache) except for micro sdcard ofcourse. i then went to FIX PERMISSIONS and stupidly select the ALSO FIX SELINUX CONTEXTS. when those done i then went and install another image which is on the sdcard that i downloaded from here E9pw_Android5.0_Sense70_E1.zip . the installation went well and rebooted itself and got to the homescreen and whatnot. but the troubles came when i tried to install apps from playstore and it gave me all kind of errors known to man, even going into file manager to access the internal storage gave me problem it says something along ACCESS IS DENIED or CANT ACESSS EMULATED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. when i opened chrome to download something the browser just crashed because apparently it wont able to access the emulated storage. yeah i fcked up badly here. dont know whatelse to do.
see below of the files that i currently have in my external microsd card:
E9pw_Android5.0_Sense70_E1.zip -WORKS
open gapps arm64 android 5.0 stock
RUU 0PJXIMG_A55ML_DTUL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.7 07.2 - DONT WORK
