When I download from any site I get a failed download every time, and when I try to download addons I get Download failed. Please check your connection. Restarting in safe mode makes no difference (don't have any addons yet anyway as I can't download them!) Version 75.0 fresh install on a computer, set to default, no trouble with Edge Chrome etc. Problem started as soon as I first fired it up. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the help, turned out the registry was corrupted and I ended up reinstalling Windows which solved all the problems I was having including with Firefox.

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
