Downloading with Firefox stops repeatedly and is very annoying.

Sometimes first get the following message that Firefox "..nloads\CZ5EEAZM.exe.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Please try again later, or contact the administrator of the server. " (see sattach creenshot)


After pressing repeat too many times, the file will finally be downloaded. Sometimes it doesn't work and Firefox crashes.

Question, who recognizes the problem and more importantly how do I solve it?

Steps to replicate the issue please?


Step 1, start download at the site: https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-08-13-13-04-35-24631b.png

Step 2, the message apears that Firefox could not download the '....part" file: https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-08-13-13-04-48-8a1c16.png

Step 3, results 0 bytes downloaded https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-08-13-13-05-01-346728.png

Sometimes Firefox freeses by step 2


After a while when i tried to download for a second time: https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-08-13-13-05-14-6291fd.png

The latter happens often and sometimes I have to resume the download several times before it is really successful.

I have tried Firefox in safe mode but it gives the same result. I use F-Secure Save as security software

I've also tried with F-Secure disabled and Firefox in safe mode, then the problem is solved!

So it has to do with the interaction between Firefox and F-Secure ...

Good work! Glad you see the issue.

A little reading... https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/f-secure-safe

Mark this as resolved if there are no further questions. ;-)
