Firefox go splodey

[jadesfire]

HALP!

Firefox has apparently decided that it doesn't want to download anything. Or rather, it pretends it wants to and then doesn't. Tease.

It gets to the "what do you want to do with this file" stage, but when I click 'save', instead of a computer directory I get... Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero. Also, when I go to "Tools -> Downloads" the history has been wiped clean, which I'm thinking is a bad thing.

This means NO PODIFC. This is a very, very BAD thing. *whimper* I've tried sendspace, Megaupload and the audiofic archive, and it's definitely a problem with Firefox. Oh, and I also know this because when I went to download the latest version, just in case, it wouldn't download.

I'm running Firefox3 in Fedora. It's possible that I can get the files from Firefox (the archive might be open-able rather than save-able) but I'm then not 100% sure how to run them for my Linux-fu is poor.

HALP?

ETA: After some prodding, I think the problem is that Firefox doesn't think my computer exists. When I try to change the setting to "Save files to" and click 'Browse', nothing happens at all. This is going to take some forum browsing, I think...

Oh no! Does this page have anything on it that might help?

I'll have a look, thanks. The first two things didn't work, but I don't give up that easily!

Much appreciated :)

I think you need to reset your download folder. Instructions here (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files#Reset_download_folder)
