Um, not really an urgent problem, just kind of annoying. Firefox randomly fails at downloading things. It just says "unknown error, save to a different location". Something like that. But switching locations doesn't do any good, and a lot of the times, I just have to retry and then it works.

I recently reformatted and added a lot of security software I didn't have before. I also have the Yahoo edition of Firefox.

Suggest you do a clean uninstall and never install the Yahoo version again and get the REAL Firefox 3 from Mozilla. Yahoo version is geared for Yahoo and has some compatibility problems with other software.

hahaha...

well anyway, I did that, but it's still doing it. the weird thing is though, i went and checked on the rar file I'd downloaded and well, it was all there. i just had to rename the extension to .rar and it unzipped and everything. so, uh, i dunno. because it had failed to download a program just earlier.

You need the proper program to auto-unzip *.rar files. Most will do it for you, like 7-Zip or ZipGenius...all free. Have you got FF options set to always download to a specific download folder? Setting this options is usually best, Then you can always go to FF's Tools and select Downloads and open the file from the Downloads popup window.
