Firefox Downloads Dont Work

Hi,

Just recently after updating firefox, my downloads dont work. For exmaple if I download something the download window will open and download the item, then we its complete I double click to execute the file but nothing comes up. I then right click the download and i notice that the open and open file location buttons are greyed out. I go the file location manually and the file is not there. I read something similar about this on google and they believe the download.rdf file could be corrupted and the way to fix it is to simlpy delete it and then next time you boot firefox it creates a new one automatically. Well I went into my app data and couldnt even find a download.rdf file! I tried uninstalling then reinstalling firefox but it hasnt fixed the problem. Please help.

The .rdf file is not in the application folder, and reinstalling Firefox will not fix the problem; for that matter, doing that will rarely fix any problems, as they are most often found in the Firefox profile, not in the FF application folder.

Try changing the folder in which the files are downloaded or for now just use a different internet browser
