Is it Firefox that is blocking you from downloading the files or is it Windows that is preventing you from opening them?
Firefox downloads them but it marks them as blocked, so windows won't open them.
Can you please provide us with a screenshot of any error messages that you are receiving?
If you need help to create a screenshot, please see How do I create a screenshot of my problem?
Once you've done this, attach the saved screenshot file to your forum post by clicking the Browse... button below the Post your reply box. This will help us to visualize the problem.
Thank you!
Please try the following:
- Go to
about:configin Firefox - Locate the
browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone - Change the value of this setting from true to false
Does this solve the issue?
