V50.0.2: * all * download left-clicked links seem to not start at all - but in fact files are downloaded silently as .part to the temp folder

Since a few hours ago, I click on the download links are not processed as expected:

-There is no indication of a download link click at all, that is, no confirmation, no dialog box to choose the destination folder, etc.

-downloads TO start even if files are downloaded SILENTLY in the folder Temp (C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Temp) as a .part files (and stay there when the download is complete)

-C' is the case on Web site downloads, I tried

-the library has no record that all the files have been downloaded

-There is also no indication of a download completion

-downloaded files are intact as far as I can tell (tested by renaming and extract a zip file)

-However, right-clicking and choosing "save link under ' works very well

-In addition, the elements of the popup menu "downthemall" Download Manager work very well (for example "save the link with downthemall")

-ive also noticed that closing the download source tab does not cancel the download, for that I have to close completely the ff

Measures taken so far:

-restart ff

-restart the computer

ran-a anti-virus (avast), ran malwarebytes scan

-ran ff with all extensions disabled: same problem

-a went through the steps detailed here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-download-or-save-files

-tried to download files with the different browser: worked well

-tried to download files with profile ff different: worked well

-tried to download files in safe mode ff: worked well

... any ideas?

  • shrug *.

I "solved" this by backup of bookmarks, passwords and settings and such things of the migration to a fresh profile ('refresh function'), as well as reinstall and - configure my extensions.
