How to prevent DOWNLOADING of video (not merely prevent autoplay) in Firefox

This may sound like word games, but I'm not trying to be funny, merely specific.
So I'm on a network with limited bandwidth. Therefore it's critical for me to understand what settings I can configure (if any) that will prevent the DOWNLOAD of video and/or large images from web sites.
For example, your basic site nowadays probably uses HTML5 and may use that vs. the old-style Flash plug-ins to embed video. And yep classic HTML links with references to image files for the images.
Back in the day you could configure a browser to ignore these references and then the browser would not even attempt to fetch the referenced image or video files. I've recently started using Firefox again, and I'm trying to learn how Firefox handles this in the HTML5 era (or rather what dumb users like me are supposed to do nowadays).
I'm noticing most of the help literature is regarding disabling settings of the auto-PLAY feature. However, due to my ignorance of modern Firefox, perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but most of it seems to involve disabling plug-ins that activate after the file is downloaded, not preventing the actual download. Similar to if I'm using Microsoft Word to view a DOCX file from a web site, uninstalling Word doesn't prevent the DOCX file from downloading. What I don't want to do is cheerfully disable the video playing while my browser still happily downloads the video in the background... because my main goal is not to avoid the annoyance of autoplay, but my goal is to conserve bandwidth on my connection.
FYI I'm using the latest version of Firefox Quantum on Manjaro Linux.
Thanks for advice anyone can provide in helping bring me into the "now" of modern Firefox, or who can point me to any further help articles or instructions to help educate me about this. If I'm over-reading and disabling auto-PLAY also inherently disables the downloading of the associated media, super, but that distinction is not obvious in any of the documentation I've seen so far.
Thanks!!

Hello I recently downloaded the latest version of Firefox 54 for Linux. Everything worked great however even after making it the default browser links from external programs such as Pidgin won't open in a new tab in firefox. Instead a new window will pop-up with my home page. I've tried solving it by uninstalling the other version of firefox I downloaded from the repository (Firefox 45)
I fear it might be because I didn't really install it, instead I just ran the file directly form the download labed just firefox. It seems to be working fine and there was no README file so I assumed that was the way it should've been done.

Seriously. This is downright stupid. I attempted to download Firefox for the first time on this laptop and got a "This file is corrupt" error before the downloading portion was even done. I cancelled the download and retried and it went all the way though although it froze temporarily around the 66% mark and then finished. But after that I got "couldn't load XPCOM" so I did I completely uninstalled Firefox and then attempted to reinstall and again at the 66% mark at downloading I got "Couldn't load XPCOM"...the heck is going on with this oversized hunk of junk?

My Firefox is 45.3.0 ESR
Why does my download stop suddenly? A lot of bandwith is being wasted uneccessarily.
My download always stops if it exceeds 1 gb. Please look into it and solve my problem.
As Firefox starts, it retries failed downloads, an unwanted behavior.

Firefox 48.0.2, only recently noticed the issue but it probably started before the latest update considering how long ago I tried to download the file originally. I attempted to download a file a few times and it failed. The file is from a PRC located server for a version of the Kindle alternative OS "Duokan." The failures were immediate, not like partials that fail. When I start Firefox, as soon as I am able I check the latest downloads and three failed attempts appear above the last files I downloaded. The failed attempts are time stamped with the time the browser started. Searches in about:config for fragments of the file name, download URL and domain come up empty. I've studied about:about to see if another view was promising but nothing seemed relevant, however I was not exhaustive by any means. TIA

I can download programs using Mozilla fine but none of them will open.
Have followed as many troubleshooting ideas as possible that I can find online and none of them have worked. I don't have the browser.download.managerWhenDone option on about:config. I have restarted, refreshed and reinstalled Mozilla of which none has made a difference. I have tried saving downloaded files into different folders including my desktop, which hasn't worked. Downloads also won't run if downloaded while Mozilla is in safe mode.
I'm running out of ideas, please help!

I can download images using literally any browser except Firefox. When I try to on Firefox, the image becomes corrupt, and I can't open it on my computer. Attempting to open it with Paint, for example, tells me that the image is not a valid Bitmap file. Again, this problem only occurs with Firefox. Every other browser works fine. I'd prefer not to have to switch browsers, though. Can anyone tell me why this problem is occurring? It happens both with old versions of Firefox and with the latest version.
