Go to TOOLS, OPTIONS, GENERAL TAB. Uncheck the box CLOSE WHEN DOWNLOAD FINISHED. Change SAVE FILES TO to a location where you can easily find them (IE desktop)

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.

Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"
