Browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone does not appear in about:config

Firefox Installation and updates

For some reason, Firefox has suddenly failed to complete any downloads. They all stop at 99% and don't continue. I also can't cancel them. I suspect it has to do with the final scanning step, but I've found that Browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone isn't in about:config.

That preference was removed from Firefox 31.

What you are experiencing is a known Bug in Firefox 32 beta 9. It is fixed in 32 beta 10 which will come out this week.

You can create a new String pref on the about:config page via the right-click context menu. Name: browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL Value: https://sb-ssl.google.com/safebrowsing/clientreport/download?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY%

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
