It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.

Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Thank you very much. I disabled the firefox virus scan by setting the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone to false in about:config.
