downloads with firefox
I had to reinstall windows and now with firefox I am unable to download any thing from the browser. I can download ok from chrome and direct downloads from a program go through fine but from firefox everything ends up failed or cancelled. I have checked every security setting I can think of-even stopped the firewalls. Any one got any ideas? tia

Are you using a proxy or VPN ?
You can check the connection settings.
- Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
See "Firefox connection settings":

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.
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.

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
