Can no longer upload or download files in Firefox

Firefox Download failure

Hi-

In the past week or so, I suddenly stopped being able to download/save files or upload files from Firefox. I get a message that says something like "You don't have permission to open this file". This happens regardless of the location of the file (ie locally on the device, a USB drive, a server drive, one drive etc.).

This happens on two different workstations, one is Windows 11 and one is Windows 10 but both use the same Windows login.

If I try a different browser, I am able to save or upload so I don't think it is a network permissions issue.
