i have reinstalled firefox numerous times and checked my download pathway each time but all downloads fail. I have shut down site blocker and privacy badger. I have dropped every type of security I can find to get something to come through but nothing works. I like firefox but it looks like I may have to switch browsers

Reinstalling Firefox won't necessarily fix a corrupted profile. Try downloading in Troubleshoot Mode and save directly to your Desktop. If that works, an extension or setting is likely responsible. If it still fails, test a new profile through about:profiles and check whether your antivirus or Windows security is blocking the files.

I have tried it in troubleshooting mods with no change and have tried to save to desktop and document as well nothing fixes it. I can download just fine using other browsers
