Simple problem; complex solution? I work between two laptops and send files from one PC to the other by email. This week I could not download the sent files on Yahoo Mail. It literally just stopped downloading. I checked my security settings, created an exception for Yahoo Mail, double checked MS Defender, but nothing seems to be blocking it that I can see. I tried to review other sources, but could not find something for this situation. Help?

My current version of Firefox is 149.0 (64 bit) Mozilla Firefox for Arch Linux Arch Linux - 1.0 I am running this on two computers, a laptop and a desktop, both running Arch Linux, currently at 6.19.10. I use the laptop much more, and recently noticed that I cannot upload or download files with Firefox. No file selection window opens and the request is simply ignored. Nothing appears in my Downloads folder. Meanwhile, I also noticed that this function works just fine on the desktop computer. I don't remember making any settings changes. I do have popups generally disabled but can enable them for certain sites. In any case, I have tried enabling popups and redirects completely with no change. I figure there must be something different about the settings on these two Firefox installations, but what? What can you tell me? Or ask me? Thanks.

All of a sudden I can't download files from apps I use all the time... and download files from all the time. I just tried in Edge & I can download just fine. This just happened this morning. I downloaded multiple files yesterday within firefox & the same apps I'm running today.

I had recently tried to download a .Zip file, which got corrupted. I tried twice again. Now every time I open the browser the three corrupted files pop up in the "downloads" window. It does not appear when opening a new tab, only when starting the browser. I have deleted the corrupted folders and don't want to retry downloading. I have tried both "clear all downloads" and "remove from history" in the downloads window, but the notification still shows up. Settings do not help.

How can I remove this pop-up? It blocks my toolbar and is a general nuisance.

As of today, every single time I try to download something, Firefox instantly cancels it and I'm not sure what the issue is. I've disabled adblock and Malwarebytes and refresh Firefox—same issue. Hitting retry from the download panel works but I can't figure out why the first download attempt is always cancelling, even if it's the same file. I'm not even downloading big files.

Ever since 149.02 update Firefox has been unable to download any images automatically. They are always 'canceled'. I have to manually click RETRY button for it to work.

I have been through a ton of possibilities with Gemini, none of which worked. Apart form totally reset Firefox, which I refuse to do because WTF !

Gemini gave up and suggested I post something on here. I'll just switch to Brave until 149.03 fixes it.

I am unable to download large files from an MS Sharepoint account in Firefox. Small files are fine (less than 100MB). Large files download fine if I use MS Edge browser but I don't want to have to use Edge unless absolutely necessary. Using Firefox Troubleshoot mode doesn't help. Clearing the cach/cookies etc doesn't help. When downloading a 600MB file, the download repeatably fails around 90-100MB. My OS is Linux Mint xfce64. Obviously MS doesn't like firefox for some reason, even in Troubleshoot mode. thanks in advance for any help.
