When I visited http://www.woodsmithtips.com/2016/03/31/simple-jig-for-thin-strips/?utm_source=WoodsmithTips&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=10773 and tried to download the .pdf file, I am not allowed to download & I am prompted with this:

(((Downloading c:\PC Name\AppData\Local\Temp\2LE9reHM.pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. C:\Users\Garage\AppData\Local\Temp\H1y5pcxB.pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Try again later, or contact the server administrator.)))

BUT if I use the Google Chrome browser I have no problem downloading the file.

Any idea's or recommended changes needing to me made via the about:config option?

Ya, can see that something is not working right on that.

Do you have Firefox set to not update ? Current version is 56.0.1

Pkshadow, Yes I have it set to where Firefox cannot update automatically but only because of updates, most of the time, disable my add-ons. When that happens I end up spending a lot of time trying to find a simular add-on that works with the newest version of Firefox.

I will look over everything you linked me to. Thank You for your fast response and attempt to help me!
