Firefox Download Manager reacts unexpectedly.
I can't download the files correctly using the default Firefox Download Manager. The affected extensions are:
1. Download Status 2. Download Statusbar 3. DownThemAll (although since this doesn't interfere with the default, I don't see what this might have to do. Included for completeness).
Now to the problem:
Firefox displays the weird behavior every time as downloading a file:
1. The download completes, and it keeps scanning the file with an antivirus for indefinite periods (it never ended so far) even with tiny text files. 2. During this period of antivirus checking, if I download another file, the old one gets magically deleted.
I'll disable add-ons relevant and post back the results.
See "Antivirus disable in Firefox preferences - Windows."
Try to set this pref to false on the topic: config page.

Firefox Download Manager problems
The default in Firefox Download Manager began to show strange behavior today: no matter what file I try to download (in the default \download folder or in a folder chosen by me) is actually downloaded by the browser, but the file download status bar always a message "unknown time remaining" while being entirely green (https://www.dropbox.com/s/n891ya38ifm83c3/Cattura%20di%20schermata%20%284%29.png?dl=0).
The real problem is when I download .torrent files that are downloaded the torrent client need to start (torrent client that does not start because for firefox, is never finished downloading .torrent).
I tried to disable the antivirus (bitdefender), but the problem persisted. Chrome downloads work fine (as with active antivirus).
It's the b9 32.0 and it has been fixed and will be in the build 32.0 then, probably the RC1 build 32.0 if normally such a fix would be a beta version as 32.0b10. The release is Tuesday next so little time. From topic: config you can try to change the empty value of browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL in the meantime.

You cannot add a download manager like idm in firefox?
If you can, why not you? You can do an open source Manager to download as open source browser and it shipped with Firefox. Am I wrong?
Hello
I had a peek in on the Firefox Add-ons site download managers and we found quite a few extensions that might help.
Firefox already contains some download management options and these extensions (whether on their own or with others) will expand to this.
I hope this helps, but if you have any other questions please request and we will do our best to help.

Download Manager stops when I turn off Firefox
I have tried twice now; It didn't used to be like that. I have a current download. When I disable the Firefox, the download ends, too. My version is Firefox 24. How can I keep the download? Thanks for your help.
The default is to pause a download and resume the download automatically the next time.
You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the topic: config page.
That will make Firefox asks for confirmation if you want to cancel the download when you close Firefox.See:

Why the Internet Download Manager does not work on Firefox?
I have Internet Download Manager 6.15 and is used exclusively for download nearly everything. However, I can't use it while using Firefox, why?
Yes... I think it's because u do not installed correctly, I think that it may be because you do not restart your computer once you have it installed, what would you say, you try to restart your computer and try to download anything using mozilla. I hope this will help you.

Internet Download manager doesn't work only with the latest version of Firefox.
My Firefox crashes regularly as wee. Suggestions how to solve these two problems.
Is the download manager that you are using a Firefox extension? If so, have you checked that the extension is up-to-date and compatible with the latest version of Firefox?
Also, is it possible that the button you are looking for should be added to the Firefox toolbar? Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars.
