download links not showing for zip and xlsx
Certain DownLoad Links simply do not show up in FireFox.
Files with the following extension will not display. XLSX, ZIP
But other files do show up.
I can see the code for the pages and it shows the links....but they are not displayed in the page.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
Does this happen at all sites, some. a few?

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.
Sorry did not work.
Also tried Firefox from a different machine entirely. Same results.
No issues in IE or Chrome.
Do those links have a display: none or visibility:hidden property?
Are there any scripts running on the page that might hide or unhide some links after loading the page?
Your screenshot only show the HTML window in the page inspector and not the properties window.
Please post the link to the web page. Also a screen shot of the area where these links are.
Already posted Fred. See screen shots.

I guess I could post dozens of shots.
It's a simple page that will created links for every downloadable file available at the time.
The Source is shown. The source shows all the links...especially those not showing up in FireFox. Yet shows up in IE or Chrome.
The page is just a big link array....if there is 1 file, 1 link, if there are 200 files, 200 links...all autogenerated.
This page is on an internal LAN and i can't give a direct link.
I pretty much give up on FF, as this is one of the most ridiculous bugs I have ever seen...with absolutely no answer for it.
