I am running Firefox 29.0.1 in a Windows OS. Up until a few days ago, the grey arrow (green when downloading) worked fine, dropped down a menu that showed recent downloads, and allowed me to access them. Now I find I cannot do this. I would prefer to use the native "download button", but am open to suggestions if this is not possible.

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
