Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Didn't make a difference. Still no activity in the downloads window. The window pops up the download is saved in the target file but nothing shows up in the window. No progress, no file name or location and no options to open it or navigate to the folder.
