Downloading files from the firefox browser using unbuntu linux

more options

For the past few months, the browser will no longer download any files. The only diagnostic that I can see is failed when the download is attempted. I have refreshed firefox and the problem remains. Chrome can download without any problems, but I used firefox for many years and wish to continue.

Show the issue and provide steps to replicate. What version of Firefox? Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

I have no issue using Firefox from my distro, Mozilla, nor Waterfox. see screenshot
