Having the same problem with Firefox 3.5.7 and even after updated to 3.5.9, on Windows 7.
Firefox won't download nothing, even with "Save As..." or "Save Image" and etc.

Can you still see this issue with Firefox 6 or later in safe mode? And, have you tried a new profile? If you still see the issue with the updated version of Firefox in safe mode and a new profile, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME.
