I can't get firefox to download files from links on web pages

Firefox

I have firefox 3.6.13 and when I click on a download link on a web page nothing happens. I have to open Internet explorer to download files. It used to work OK for years until a few months ago.

The only web page I have found that I can still download from is for mp3 files from amazon.com

Isn't there anyone out there that has any idea how to solve this? If I can't get it fixed I guess I will have to make Internet Explorer my default browser.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this:
