Download File Window flashes and then disappears
When clicking on a file link to download it, the file download window flashes very briefly on screen and then disappears without me being able to click on anything. Left clicking and selecting "save link as" works but some websites seem to disable that option, and other time I don't want to save the file but open it directly in the associated program.

No answers? Must I use IE then?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
No, the problem does not occur in this instance. I'm running the following extensions: NoScript Flashgot Free Download Manager extension Flash and Video Download Clear Site Cache
Any idea which might be the problem? Clear Site Cache is the most recent extension
It could be the work of one of your add-ons. Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac:<Command>)<Shift> A)
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective.
It appears to be Free Download Manager extension giving the issue. I never had an issue with it before. I will leave it disabled for now.
