When I try to download a file, the download always fails. This happens no matter what website I'm downloading the file from (see screenshot 1).
This started happening within the last week or so. We are running versions 97 and above.
Firefox is configured to always ask where to save files to (see screenshot 2).
Write permissions to the user's Downloads folder is denied for reasons unrelated to this issue (see screenshot 3). When I re-enable write permissions, the problem goes away.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Is write access to the Downloads folder required now, even if Firefox is not configured to save files to that location? Thanks!
