Medium to large files have a hard time completing on Firefox. It keeps failing, and I can retry, but it just keeps failing. I have to retry about 2 times for a 700mb file. I have to retry exponentially more the larger the file gets. Even a 50mb file can fail. I have done everything that was listed on the support forums, nothing works. I am currently using safe mode too.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a download manager.
