I cant download or upload files on Firefox. I tried it on facebook, gmail and wordpress. This is giving me big problems. I tried to re-install it but it didn't work! I can download or upload things on other browsers. When i click on save image as on any image, it just doesn't do anything! Please help!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;

Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences

Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Then restart.
