More download fails
Hi, Recently purchased new laptop with Win 11. I was having trouble downloading anything. Always indicated failure.
I checked some of the responses here for that problem. One of them said to not accept HTTPS only. When I checked my settings, it WAS already set to Don't enable HTTPS-Only Mode. I then set the HTTPS-Only mode to Only in private windows. That setting now allows downloads. Why doesn't it allow downloads when I don't accept HTTPS only?

I think it depends on why the download failed. You might still have some of the failed downloads in your download history in the drop-down from the toolbar button. (I don't know whether the history at the main list, Ctrl+J, provides as much detail). If you click the failed item, Firefox should display a panel with more information about what went wrong.

Ok. So I removed from history those failed downloads and changed the settings to Don't enable HTTPS-Only mode. I was now able to download a file. Frankly, this doesn't make sense to me. Why should a previously failed download cause others to fail? This never happened to me when I was using Win 7. But thanks for the info jscher2000.
