Mine has a dark arrow pointing down in the top right of my Firefox window that shows downloads. I am wondering if you have a plugin that is showing the downloads that you might be having trouble with. What release did you come from? What OS are you running?
I have the same dark arrow, which becomes green when I have any new downloads. But with both colors this button doesn't work. It should open a list of downloaded files like CTRL-J hot-key. I'm using windows 7 ultimate (64 bit). Firefox was installed on clear machine 2 month ago. I don't remember which release it was, I think the same I have now - 25.0
I think if you cleared your browsing and download history, it won't show old downloads. Your downloads are in a Downloads folder probably under documents. You could put a shortcut in your start menu, under documents, or on your desktop, etc.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.
When I tried to download the iTunes install program from the Apple site, it doesn't download. I do NOT have this problem on other sites, and so far it's only the Apple.com site. This may be a bug in the Apple site, but I can use Internet Exploder to get the file. So far the only other site that I have problems with is the TVGuide site that will not change locations from Eastern to Central when trying to find out what garbage is on the tube. I do have the latest greatest Firefox 26, and when checking it says it's up to date.
On the Apple site, when I click the download it comes up as if it's going to do it's thing, and I made a directory for the install program, and clicked "Save" and that was it, nothing downloaded.. This is how I do all my updates, and have never had a problem until now. Any ideas, or is this just a bug in Firefox on the Apple site?
Thanks
