My firefox v70.0.1 64 bit was unable to download from google drive
Hello.
My firefox v70.0.1 64 bit was unable to download from google drive. I've tried the gdrive link to Chrome and it works fine. The last FF build before this was able to download from Gdrive without problem. A little help please? Thank you. Bread

When I clicked "Download" button on google drive link there's nothing happen. Usually as always it will be redirected to download or save as window dialogue. Please have a look in my attachment file.
Did you press the 'OK' button?

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?
While you are in safe mode;
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

Tried all and still can't download from Gdrive I even refresh my FF still no luck
But
Yesterday I read on other web that this problem originally from adobe flash player On my other pc I have successfully make it work by uninstalling and reinstalling flash player but unfortunately I lost track of my steps how to re-doing that again on my other PC
hi,
Download and install IDM in your computer. (Download IDM) Open Firefox Browser then click Tool menu. Then click add-ons. (Keybord Shortcut Ctrl+Shift+A ) Open Add-ons manager and then click Extensions. Search Flashgot Add-ons and click install. After install click Restart now button. Open Firefox Browser click any download link. A pop-up box will come up here you just click on flash got and on the right side, you will get many options to choose. Select Internet Download Manager. And click OK and START the download.

That was very good work. Well Done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem as this can help others with similar problems.
In reality you just have to delete the "security" setting for flash. So gone with that "security" and you can use firefox again. But wait... I wonder when they stop to think: We are on a wrong track here. We do not offer any security (just as the airlines does not). We just say we do but in reality we are destroying our own software (just like youtube and facebook are doing). We need to think different.
