@carl fish
Something is going on with Firefox fish.
Today for the first time ever I had a Ccleaner crash, which in and of itself is strange so i trouble shoot for about 30 min uninstalling and cleaning up and reinstalling.
I tell it to not clean FF and the issue stops cold. I uninstall FF, cleanup and reinstall, same issue Ccleaner can not clean FF 48 (for me) so I uninstall the browser that I have
used since the beginning of time. :( And to tell you the truth today I tried to DL a youtube vid and it failed, so I don't know whats going on but FF is acting strange as of late.
Now I'm Chrome'n it for the foreseeable future. Man I don't like chrome :( Im having a bad day
I know it's not much help, but your not alone fish :)

Since you also said that Edge does the same thing, have you had any problems downloading a file from another site?

Also I find that RapidGator is not a very reliable website to download anything from. I've had downloads stop in their tracks many times while using RapidGator so for the past 2 years or so I don't even bother with it anymore. If you can download a file from another site then I'm pretty confident in saying it's not your computer, it's the site.

I have a sinking feeling it wont help Umbra, My FF has been acting crazy today, I know its not infection, or my security config.
I reported it to Mozilla today before I stomped off to Chrome.
