Cannot click okay on the download dialogue

Whenever I click on a file to download in Firefox the dialogue box pops up asking what I would like to do with the file. I can select Open or Save as usual, but no matter what I press or how long I wait the ok button remains greyed out and unselectable. This means I can't download anything in Firefox which is very frustrating. Downloading works fine in other browsers.

So far I have run the refresh thing on Firefox which hasn't helped. I do not have any Parental Controls on as far as I know, this is a brand new computer, no children use any computers in this house and I have never activated anything like that. I have also cleared the downloads folder which had no affect either.

I just can't work out why it isn't working.

Thank you for your reply, however this does not help at all.

I know how downloads work and also Firefox is not marking them as unsafe. I simply cannot click ok in the dialogue box that pops up when I try to download something.

I see that sometimes when the ok button is grayed out, but I click on the another part of that same dialogue box and then click on ok again it works. I guess not for you this time. Can you post a full screenshot showing the issue?
