After today update I cant seem to download any files using firefox.

I can still download and directly with the "Open With" even the extension DownThemAll and Flashgot is working. Other browser also works fine (chromium).

All I get is the download dialogue, click OK and nothing, no error, no download started, nothing....

Anyone can help?

  • Do you have the [Unityfox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unityfox/) addon installed? It's the add on which shows the download progress in the unity launcher – Dan Mar 07 '14 at 08:43

Using this guide resolve my problem:

What to do if you can't download or save files

Doing the "Change file type settings" seems to do the trick for me
