Failed downloads using Firefox, all file types whether from GMAIL or Google Drive. I have lost a day and I will switch to a different browser if this issue remains.

Are you using a download manager? If not,

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


This download manager works separately from the browser. The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.

http://www.freedownloadmanager.org It is a powerful modern download accelerator and organizer for Windows and Mac.
