why are downloads being blocked from sites that were previously okay
I had previously downed versions of Apache Open Office. I cannot download latest. I had downloaded statements from my bank and Paypal. Not any longer. I don't even get an error message. I have checked Windows and Norton to see if those programs are doing it. It doesn't appear so. What is going on?

Needs to see the error screen shot to find out what is happening.
No error screen. That's what part of what's so frustrating.
What security software ?
There is security software like Avast/AVG, Kaspersky, BitDefender, ESET & sometimes McAfee that intercept secure connections and send their own certificate/ or their scanner is effecting Firefox. If you are running any of the above software please check their community forum for a work around to apply settings.
