Can you provide an example public download link?

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

Did you check the content of this file in a file viewer utility in case you get an HTML error file and not the actual file?

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window

Boot the computer into Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.
