Trouble saving downloads
Prior to about a month ago, downloading worked as expected: - click a link - the save to... dialog opened - choose the folder - the download is off and running
No more. For about the past month - click a link - wait for a long time with FF frozen - the a wheel starts rotating - after a full minute (or more) the save dialog appears.
Something has been broken in the mad-dash to push updates. It's fine for browsing, but the, you need to download. At that point you wish you were using a different browser (any other browser, in fact) since FF is the only oe that has this problem. Downloading works fine in a 8 chromium browsers that I have and in the 5 FF clones (like Waterfox)
It's just FF that's broken. I can no longer afford to set it as default because of this. The others are not perfect (WF won't activate Pocket, foe example) but downloading promptly is critical.

Visit about:third-party and take note of the listed modules. Open the file dialog (Ctrl+O) then close it, see what new modules have been added to the list and try disabling them or uninstalling their respective software.
I looked. There were 2 from bitdefender I booted to safe mode annd deleted te dlls Same problem but now, also, FF becomes similarly unnresponsive for mor than a miute eve if it's just sitting idle
I have this same issue on my work computer, where I have to use Chrome for some things. This issue always presents for me in Firefox first, and then breaks the other Save-As dialog boxes in other browsers.
The only thing that works to fix this every time is to clear Chrome's cache specifically. Once we do that, everything works again.
Neither I nor my IT department know why this is happening or why that works, but if you haven't found a fix yet, hopefully this helps.
