When I attempt to download a file it appears to download however when I download it the downloads window appears however it is blank and I can't right click on it and everything is greyed out. I would normally right click then go to OPEN CONTAINING FOLDER.

Downloading is something other add-ons and programs may interfere with.

The final suggestion in that is to try general troubleshooting which includes disabling other add-ons and plugins

Check a setting: Firefox button > Options > Options (or Tools > Options) > Privacy, check "Remember download history"

I you want to keep download history, do not clear in when using Clear Recent History or when automatically clearing history when Firefox closes

Ok so you tried safe mode and disabling plugins, what about the other suggestions in the article; then the suggestions in the linked article.

Have you searched for the downloads, do you know whether they are not downloading; or whether you just do not see them in the download folder.
