I cannot save files or images in firefox. When right clicking and then save as, The download box shows that it's downloading but when I try and open it from there or look in the download folder the file is missing like it was never downloaded.

See:

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"
