Only way to download a file is by pauzing it and restarting it every minute. How do I fix this?
Everytime I download a file, the download speed is fast at first and then slows down until it doesn't download anymore at all. If I then pause the download and restart it, the download speed is fast again. I've tried restarting firefox with add-ons turned off and then downloading a file, but it still doesn't work. My firefox version is fully updated. It also doesn't work if I have no other tabs open.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
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.

What security software do you have?
It is possible that (anti-virus) security software is causing the problem. Try to disable security software temporarily to see if that makes a difference.
