For some reason, everything I've attempted to download today using Firefox has hung up at 1 second.

This applies to all files from multiple download locations. Some of the files do appear to be downloading anyways, but in the browser, they aren't finishing.

I also can't cancel the downloads, cause when I hit the X, it just pauses the download.

Once paused, I can't resume it in any way. The only way to stop it is by closing Firefox completely, reopening and cancelling the download immediately.

I have tried downloading using IE, and it worked, but nothing on Firefox has fully worked, including in safe mode.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Maybe your Firefox is in SOME way buggy, so what would suggest is to reinstall Firefox (delete your Firefox COMPLETELY, then reinstalling Firefox from another browser) to see if anything changes.

I hope this helps! :D
