Recently, I have not been able to download any types of files using Firefox. When I try to, the download will instantly say its completed, regardless of the file size, but the the options to "open" and "open containing folder" are greyed out.
The files do not appear in the folder in Windows explorer. I have the DownThemAll extension installed, and using that I am able to download files. I can also download files normally using Google Chrome.
