Hello.

My firefox v70.0.1 64 bit was unable to download from google drive. I've tried the gdrive link to Chrome and it works fine. The last FF build before this was able to download from Gdrive without problem. A little help please? Thank you. Bread

Did you press the 'OK' button?


Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem, 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). Did this help?

While you are in safe mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

That was very good work. Well Done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem as this can help others with similar problems.

In reality you just have to delete the "security" setting for flash. So gone with that "security" and you can use firefox again. But wait... I wonder when they stop to think: We are on a wrong track here. We do not offer any security (just as the airlines does not). We just say we do but in reality we are destroying our own software (just like youtube and facebook are doing). We need to think different.
