After clicking to save image, I can see an Explorer dialog box disappear quickly, followed by FF freezing, having to use task manager to close FF down

Last reported FF crash; 2019.08.22.Thu, 1617;17, so I don't think a crash report will help

FF 72.0.2 (64-bit), Safe Mode, After Windows 10 Pro update from 1803 to 1909 (OS Build 18363.562)

Did you possibly recently saved a file to a removable device that is currently not available ?

No, although I have external drives attached, anything downloaded or saved goes straight into the C: drive first

I do not have this issue using the Edge browser, which I'd rather not get dependent upon

How many downloaded files appear in the Downloads panel in the Library window?

Try clearing the Download cache to see if that might solve that problem.

Having such difficulty with this issue, I've decided to reinstall Windows
