Download not working on ubuntu 22

more options

Hi! I'm running latest Firefox on ubuntu 22. Downloading stopped working all the sudden. I download and print pdfs as part of my daily work, and first I thought this was an printing issue, but it turns out to be download related. I deleted snap version of fw and installed ppa version (since snap had all-ready problems with file destinations), refreshed fw, reset-ed download folders etc from about.config, started fw in safe mode, added pages I usually use to the list with no secure browsing and nothing helped. When I click some file to download, it hangs up in download dialog, and I'm also unable ti clear the list, or cancel download. When I reboot fw, and it reloads previous session, downloaded file appears, and I'm able to print this file, but no other after that one.

Thank You in advance! - Ari Luokkala

Hi, just got this this working, not sure it was browser related or what, it just started working after updating everything I could imagine:)
