If it stops in the last second then that is the state where Firefox invokes your Anti-Virus software to scan the file. It is possible that your Anti-Virus software has a problem with scanning the file.

Also make sure that you only have one AV program that scans files.

You can check the default AV program in Windows Control Panel > System and Security.
