I hear you — that can be super annoying when a big download in Firefox just stops and won’t finish. Since you’re on Android, here are a few things you can try:

Check Firefox’s settings

Open Firefox → go to Settings > Downloads (or “Files”) and make sure the download location has enough free storage. Sometimes if storage is nearly full, large downloads cut off.

Use “Always Ask” for Downloads

In settings, enable Firefox to always ask where to save. Choosing your phone’s internal storage (instead of SD card or external path) often prevents failed downloads.

Try another download manager

Sadly, Firefox mobile doesn’t have the best download manager. If the file is large (like your 46 GB one), it’s safer to use a dedicated app like ADM (Advanced Download Manager) or even your phone’s built-in browser. You can copy the download link from Firefox and open it there.

Clear app cache

Go to your phone’s Settings > Apps > Firefox > Storage > Clear Cache. Don’t clear data unless you want to reset everything.

Update or reinstall Firefox

If nothing works, update Firefox from the Play Store (or reinstall). Some older versions had bugs with large downloads.
