I can't download files from google drive on my laptop.
Look, before you ask, I have been using Firefox for years. It's on my phone, my desktop and my laptop. I hate Chrome, which is why I hope that google isn't trying to force me to use Chrome. I have the latest version of Firefox Quantum
I can't download files from my google drive. It brings up an error, which I have added as a screenshot.
I have tried everything I can think of. I have no added themes, I have 2 extensions, which are https everywhere and adblock plus. I have tried disabling them, going into safe mode, deleting my Firefox profile and even completely uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling. I would love to acquire some help with this issue. I have deleted my cookies, my history and even the cookies.sqlite, cookies.sqlite-shm, and cookies.sqlite-wal.
The strange thing is that I can download files from google drive if I am on my desktop. At first I thought this was because i was on my school's wifi but if I use Edge, or if I use chrome, the files download without an issue and it works at home. Please help me, thank you for your time.

If possible if that site isn't private doc can another try to download or access google doc to see if they get the same result?
All of my files dont work. But they download on my desktop computer at home without any problems. I have tried this laptop, again, on my home's wifi, and it doesn't on this laptop, still
Are you using Private Browsing mode in Firefox?
Are you restricting cookies in any manner?
How about Tracking Protection? Always? or just Private Windows?

-- you may need to set "Accept third-party cookies" to "Always" if you have them restricted: Websites say cookies are blocked - Unblock them.
I have all third party cookies accepted, and I have tracking protection only in private windows.
I doubt google drive likes private windows browsing.
