In Firefox, recently I am unable to download pdf documents. I get the message "download failed". If I request the same download using Chrome, I get the download immediately. But Firefox is my default browser and it's a nuisance. This only started in the past month or so.

What site? Can you provide examples of the issue to see if we can replicate? What happens on this site? https://www.irs.gov/downloads/irs-pdf What OS? What version of Firefox?
