Those of you with issues on Firefox, are you all using DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials? If you are, disable it.
It caused the issue for multiple people in the last couple days:

{raises hand timidly} I use DDG Privacy Essentials. No problems for me.

I disabled DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials on Firefox and it fixed the problem for me - thanks very much for the tip.
(Disabling DDG on Vivaldi didn't help, but maybe Vivaldi is natively doing whatever DDG does that causes the problem. I tried disabling all my extensions on Vivaldi and the problem remained.)

What am I doing wrong when I download a release via Premium and get something like this: l7p7mnh7ilhe, a 1 kb file with no extension? I've tried renaming it with .epub and turned off my VPN.
I do not refresh dead Request links. Post another request in the Request Forum
I happily refresh my Release links. PM me from the PM button at the bottom of this page and include a link with your request.

My issue was also related to DuckDuckGo. In addition to disabling DDG entirely, you can selective remove the Mobilism URL from protection provided by DDG. This allows the downloads to work correctly, but still leaves DDG functioning for other sites. Use the DDG Options to add forum.mobilism.org to the list of DDG Unprotected Sites. Hope this works and helps.

Update on Devuploads:
They have switched over to a new server so the filehost is working again now. The owner has also stated that tomorrow more servers will be added to further improve speeds.
On some filehosts (mainly dropgalaxy) you will get an empty file as a result of dead/expired links. You can click on the link manually and it should show you the error.

Allow listing Mobilism URL within DDG Privacy worked for me.

DevUploads seems much improved. Thanks to all.

Thanks to you (and merry60) for the prompt response!

The discussion turned out to be less about Firefox and more about the DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials plugin. Are you using it as well?

I agree with all the positive comments expressed above. Go Mobilism!
