aol mail attachments
Up until 2 days ago, accessing aol mail via Firefox worked fine, with attachments to emails easily downloaded. Now I click on the attachment icon in the email, and nothing happens.
If I use Microsoft Internet Explorer (not my first choice of Browser), I can download attachments. So my assumption is that this is a Firefox issue.
I am using Windows 10.
Thanks to anybody for their suggestions.

Something might've gotten messed up with your profile and it's causing weird issues. Maybe try making another one and testing that out. See this article for more details: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles
If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows a purple shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar in case Tracking Protection is blocking content. You can click shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
