I'm using Firefox on Windows 10.

For a long time I've been experiencing freezing in downloads of all sorts of files sizes and different hosts. I start the download, sometimes they finish normally (if smaller sizes) but most of the time they freezes at random percentage and I have to restart from the start.

For downloading larger files are a pain, to have wait and need to keep restart if it freezes.

When I'm using others browser, such as LibreWolf and Zen Browser (forks of Firefox), it doesn't happen and all downloads work flawless.

For some time now, whenever I would try to download any kind of file from the web, it wouldn't do anything and it would just show a .part file in the downloads folder. The same type of file (i.e. jpg) would be able to be downloaded from certain sites but not from others.

At one point I though it might be an OS problem, but the issue wouldn't be replicated in other browsers (Chrome/Safari)

Recently, I tried once more fixing this and by disabling the "Always ask where to save" I was able to download anything from anywhere again, but only to the downloads folder.

System: Mac Studio / Apple M2 ultra chip / macOS 14.6.1
