I download anything over a certain file size, a couple of Mb, and Firefox pops up with this error "failed". I then must manually start the download from where it left of and it resumes this cycle of stopping and me starting.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a download manager.


This download manager works separately from the browser. The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.
