Downloads pause automatically and won't resume
Whenever I try and download a file, it pauses straight away, and won't resume no matter what I do. I have updated Firefox but it still does it.

Make sure you are not blocking content.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
One issue that seems more common lately is Firefox's Tracking Protection feature. When it is blocking content in a page, a shield icon will appear at the left end of the address bar next to the padlock icon. This article has more info on managing this feature: Tracking Protection {web link}
This download manager works separately from the browser. The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.
