Firefox downloads 0 byte files

[SeahawksXLVIII]

I am having an issue with Firefox randomly but frequently downloading 0 byte PNG files. 35 out of the 55 last files I tried to download, I had to redownload some multiple times because of this 0 byte problem.


I Googled the problem but only a really old bug that has long been marked resolved came up. There is literally nothing recent about this problem.

Links to these files that come down as 0's?

Do you have browser cache disabled?

So when a 0 comes down, a subsequent attempt may or may not actually get the file?

What security software do you have?

You can get such issues if your security software prevents Firefox from copying a .part temp file to the final destination file.
