Issue with selenium and firefox 13.0.1
I have an automated process, where I download files using selenium from firefox... Everything works perfect... It downloads all of them, but with the last one, it remains as FileName.part (its size is 10000kb), and FileName.xlsx (which should be the correct one, its empty).
Any help?

I found the answer!
So, I was using selenium, and it had a 'pause' parameter after I do a click... So pseudo-code was
-click for download -20-second pause -sign out
The file took more than 20 seconds to download, hence I got a partial download!
Thanks for the help! (btw selenium only works with firefox 13)

Disable "scanwhendone" in the about:config, it could be that it is detecting a firewall or antivirus scanner and scanning the download before it is complete.
However I highly recommend updating to the latest version of Firefox as you may also have security issues.

Since you have Windows you should use Firefox 38.0.5 to be secure and then use portable Firefox 13.0.1 (which is old and rather vulnerable now) for this one thing.
The English versions are on bottom of list. http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla Firefox%2C Portable Ed./Mozilla Firefox%2C Portable Edition 13.0.1/
Portable Firefox does not touch your desktop Firefox install or the profiles you are using with it. It is not by Mozilla but is trusted for years now.
