I have tries anything on any support answer I've found but it still doesn't work- on some (not all) sites, which work fine, right clicking an image/video/file link and clicking "save image/video/link as..." will end up without any result (it basically ignores my attempt). It happened from the moment I tried for the first time on ubuntu, the sites work and show the image/video/file but I can't save them.

Hi b195, First clear your download section and then try clear cache and cookie, restart your start system. Then, update firefox and then you can easily save video/images but don`t use VPN , for this you`ve to use plugin and then only you can download it.
