Many of our MacBook users (some on OS 10.6.8 and some on OS 10.9.4) updated to Firefox 32.0 today. They are all standard users, not admin users, of their computers. They are no longer able to download files in the usual way. The animation appears on the screen as if it is going to download, but the download manager shows 'failed' and in the downloads folder there are two files. One is a '.part' file with a temporary-looking name that is the right size for the file and the other is the downloaded file (correct file name) and it is Zero KB in size.

Re: Show downloads not working Sarah k Alawami Mon, 25 Feb 2013 09:12:04 -0800 Yeah I forgot that might be one of the causes of not being able to show the download window. Enter your Mac login password, if prompted, and then click Install Software. (This is the password that you use to log in to your Mac.) The software begins to install. Click Close when the installation is finished. If Office installation fails, see What. If the download is paused, resume it. Show the downloads list by clicking the Show Downloads button, then click the Resume button for the paused download. If you see a message that the app can’t be opened because it’s from an unidentified developer or wasn’t downloaded from the Mac App Store, you can open the app by overriding the settings in Security & Privacy preferences.

If we change the extension on the .part file to be .doc, for example, then the file will open. This is confusing for many of our users and is not a good long-term solution.

If the admin user logs in on the same computer, downloads behave as expected. One file is downloaded and it is the correct size with the right name.

Is there a solution for this? Our temporary workaround is to install version 31 because it works as expected.
