Whenever I try to download a file from google drive, I get:
"The page isn’t redirecting properly
An error occurred during a connection to drive.google.com.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."
Downloading google docs files from drive works fine, they convert to word and save to my downloads like normal. But downloading image files or pdfs yields this error. Right-clicking and downloading them from the folder view just does nothing. There is no difference between shared files and my own drive files. This error only happens in firefox, I can download files on microsoft edge just fine.
This has been happening for a few weeks now. Things I've tried:
-clearing cookies and cache
-restarting firefox, restarting computer
-checking for updates and updating firefox
-disabling all my add-ons
-clearing startup cache
-adding drive.google.com and google.com to the exceptions for enhanced tracking protection
-switching from standard to custom and unchecking cookies from the list of trackers and scripts to block, then clearing all cookies and cache
-attempting to download in firefox troubleshoot mode
-attempting to download in incognito mode
-refreshing firefox
-re-installing firefox by following the steps here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1233618
-turned off real-time protection on computer antivirus (default for windows 10)
-turned off microsoft defender firewall
I don't even know what else I can try. I assume it's a firefox error because this only happens using firefox on my laptop - I use firefox mobile and can download the same files on my phone. Does anyone have any advice?
