I have used downloadhelper for a while & it never has given me any problems but after I updated firefox yesterday it now will not download anything at all. Video starts downloading on the screen as normal, downloadhelper icon starts spinning /flashing, I click on it it shows me the file, I click it to save in a subfolder, then it just shows me a (1) beside the downloadhelper icon & never starts downloading. The (1) will stay there till I shut FireFox down. If I try to download 3 or 4 files the (3) or (4) will do the same. Nothing shows in the queue...its extremely frustrating. I have spent 2 days off & on trying to fix it through the all the forums with no luck. I even went so far as to download an older version of firefox to try to fix it with no luck anywhere. Anything you can do to help would be much appreciated.
