I'd been trying to download 2 large files from Icann and kept getting premature completion with Firefox. It would be showing ##MB of 356MB downloaded for a few seconds and then out of the blues it just says completed. As you can see in the shared video, I've tried this several times.
I thought that maybe one of the Firefox addons was causing the issue so I tried Troubleshoot Mode but that resulted in the same behavior.
I then went into Firefox Profile Manager and created a new profile. But that too had the same behavior - 🤔!
So I then tried Chromium. It completed the download successfully and the file passed gunzip test.
So, why is Firefox, even with a new profile, failing to complete a download?
