Note: Firefox will not be able to properly handle a file download if a misconfigured web server sends it with an incorrect Content type.
For example, Firefox may display the content as plain text instead of opening the file in an application or asking you what to do.
You can contact the website in such cases or you can try a Firefox add-on such as Content-Type Fixer to work around the problem. If you decide to use an add-on and you need help with it, you should visit the add-on site or contact the add-on developer directly for support. You can increase the size of the Web Console pane to give a better overview. Personally I also suspect the Panda software to be interfering with your connection, especially since the issue concerns download requests while regular browsing is still possible.
Could there be a Download Protection feature involved I think so , i. Or in other words, did downloading work before when Panda was installed and did the issue start recently, possibly after a Windows 10 update?
Either way, I would probably uninstall Panda software completely, reboot the system and see if that helps. You could install it again afterwards, of course. Can you create a new profile in addition to the existing one and report back if you can download anything with that one? Reinstalling Firefox almost never fixes issues, since any responsible settings reside in a profile that will be reused automatically. Also and perhaps first try choosing No proxy in Firefox's connection settings if anything else is currently selected to see if that helps.
It is possible that security software anti-virus, firewall is causing the problem. Try to disable security software temporarily to see if that makes a difference. Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support press F8 on the boot screen or hold down the Shift key to see if that has effect. If you have tried the above suggestions, you can restore the default Firefox download folder settings:. To fix the problem, open Safari's Preferences and change the Save downloaded files to: setting to a valid folder such as your Desktop.
Then restart Firefox. Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location. If downloading certain file types does not work, check to make sure Firefox is not set to handle those file types differently from others. See Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file for instructions on how to view and change how different file types are handled.
Internet security software, including firewalls , antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and others can block certain file downloads. Check the settings in your security software to see if there is an setting that may be blocking downloads.
To diagnose whether Internet security software is causing problems, you can try temporarily disabling it, seeing if downloads work, and then re-enabling the software. Please help me I don't know what is wrong with it I'm using this browser first time please help.
