Hello, recently when I try to download files they do not start up immediately like they used to, and when they do it shows the file size of the file is "-1bytes". But, when I use a download manager to download it, it downloads just fine.

This isn't just 1 website in particular it happens for all the websites. I tried uninstalling FireFox, and installing it again and I still can't download anything.


Example: ScreenShot of the download, when I try to download FireFox.

That may be a bug. Firefox shows a size of -1 if the size is unknown instead of suppressing the file size.
You can ignore that if the file down;loads fine.
