Downloading files has broken in one of my Firefox installations. It coincidentally happened at the time that Firefox 94.0.2 had download the 95.0 update but I had not yet restarted. I don't know if this is relevant because I've updated Firefox on another PC and I don't have the same problem.

Clicking on any download link fails where I would expect the browser to give me a choice of Opening/Saving the file. The actual file is download correctly into AppData\Local\Temp but with a .part suffix. It just never appears in the download manager. The temporary file just sits there.

If I right-click and Save Link As, this works fine. However this doesn't always work when some sites implement a redirect that points to the actual file.It's the same if I try in a private window. I disabled all add-ons but that didn't help.

Update.. I had left my PC for about an hour. When I came back, there were lots of open 'Save file' dialogues all grouped in the bottom-right. These were the files I had attempted to download earlier during testing this bug. (they were all from different sites).

Now everything works again correctly, without any browser restart or any changes. What on earth was happening?

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a download manager.


This download manager works separately from the browser. The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.

http://www.freedownloadmanager.org It is a powerful modern download accelerator and organizer for Windows and Mac.

Could be the computer was stuck in a 'bottleneck' that was finally freed.
