The download functions stopped working three days ago. I always get the message: " Download failed." I refreshed and reinstalled Firefox. I reset browser.download and it still does not work. Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks, Buckeye

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ (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.

http://www.freedownloadmanager.org It is a powerful modern download accelerator and organizer for Windows and Mac.

Thank you. This works but it takes a few extra steps but it is better than not being able to download at all. Buckeye
