Firefox Community Forum

Beforehand, I must say that I am a big fan of Firefox, I've been an user since the beginning. However, sadly I am switching to Safari due to the fact that I work with file transfers through Wetransfer platform and fro some unknown reason I get incomplete downloads from Firefox. I tried all the steps and procedures to refresh, uninstall, reinstall, troubleshoot mode and even switching accounts. Furthermore, nothing worked. I hope you guys can fix this issue and have me back. I'll be delighted. Thank you and until next time!

I'd been trying to download 2 large files from Icann and kept getting premature completion with Firefox. It would be showing ##MB of 356MB downloaded for a few seconds and then out of the blues it just says completed. As you can see in the shared video, I've tried this several times.

I thought that maybe one of the Firefox addons was causing the issue so I tried Troubleshoot Mode but that resulted in the same behavior.

I then went into Firefox Profile Manager and created a new profile. But that too had the same behavior - 🤔!

So I then tried Chromium. It completed the download successfully and the file passed gunzip test.

So, why is Firefox, even with a new profile, failing to complete a download?

My downloads keep failing every time. I tried everything from this list but all I get is download failed, this has been an issue for years. I have to press the try again button about 3000 times for it to slowly download a bit by bit but for larger files its impossible.

I access google drive through Mozilla Firefox and also zip file or other file download but since 1 to 2 weeks i faced issue to download files especially js file.How can I solve this?

Hello, I am having problems downloading a torrents. When I hit magnet nothing happens, looks like its being blocked for some reason. I disabled Defender but that didn't help..

Trying to download a zip file to be able to move forward with this job offer with Turbo tax and it will not let me. Need to find & remove the problem they said. I have no tech experience. Please help.

obviously you think everyone is a programmer by the was your system does not work doing updates !!

I am hoping your not expecting an 80 year old lady to fix your lack of diligence? or should i just eliminate your program?

Recently, I can't download content; esp. PDF's. I click on a PDF file link, and nothing happens. No error message, no acknowledgement all. I have cleared all data, set security to Standard without relief. I've set the PDF Action to "Always Ask" yet get no dialog box on clicking on a PDF link. Other browsers work just fine. Is it time to switch browsers?

This keeps happening - not an isolated incident.

The option to open a dialog box to upload a file becomes non-existent. Concurrently, I'm unable to download and save files.

This is resolved when Mozilla releases an update and I can update my browser. Then eventually something happens and the features stop working. It's like a download fails and then blocks further ones. However, there isn't something obviously stuck in my downloads history.

I can't seem to close my browsers and reopen it to fix, have to wait for an update but this always resolves it. This has happened at least a dozen times now. It is NOT my operating system.

This is wildly frustrating.
