Pop-ups are not opening and downloads are not starting.
New tabs and windows are being prevented from opening. As such, pop-up windows cannot be opened. Also, when I click on any download link, the corresponding blank tab is opened but only for a fraction of a second before getting closed, forcefully apparently.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons. Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac:<Command>)<Shift> A)
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
No, I don't get the problem in Safe Mode.

I decided to disable Adblock Plus first and I was spot-on. Having disabled it, download dialog boxes and pop-ups are now opening again.
However, disabling ADP means that I am also going to have to put up with pop-ups ads, video ads and banners again.
Load the web page. After the page is loaded, click the down arrow next to the AdBlock icon. Now select Disable on <web site>.
Fair enough solution.
Thanks!
