For some unknown reason, I am no longer able to download anything in Firefox. The download manager just says "Failed". I tried using another browser and I am able to download okay. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I've tried downloading from different websites, as well as email attachments...same problem. There is something preventing downloads of any kind. I'm able to download fine using a different browser.

You could try creating a new profile. You can do that with Firefox open or closed.
