C:\Users\AppData\Local\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location.

i get to see this every time i try to download anything other than word documents or pictures. for files or software's it is automatically showing this error

Please update to Firefox 26 and let us know if you still have trouble. Update Firefox to the latest release

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.

Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
