For example, Firefox may display the content as plain text instead of opening the file in an application or asking you what to do.
You can contact the website in such cases or you can try a Firefox add-on such as Content-Type Fixer to work around the problem. If you decide to use an add-on and you need help with it, you should visit the add-on site or contact the add-on developer directly for support.

Before you get started with troubleshooting Firefox, download the most recent version of the browser. Also check that your network connection is on and steady, as your download may be timing out due to connection or bandwidth issues. If you have any add-ons that modify the default download behavior in Firefox, remove them using the add-ons menu and restart Firefox.
You should also remove any download management programs installed in Windows. Make sure you also remove the program's associated DLL files. You should also consider disabling plugins like Java and Flash from the "Add-Ons" settings page. The first step Mozilla recommends is to clear your download history. Also, if you have a partially downloaded copy of the file already in your downloads folder, delete it before restarting the download. If this doesn't fix the problem, change the directory for your downloads; the problem may be with the folder itself.

One method that has been effective in resolving download problems from Google Drive is logging out of your account and then logging back in.
Google throttling. Google throttling refers to the intentional slowing down of speeds on certain internet services. Big Tech companies such as YouTube and Google employ this tool to slow congestion and provide better service for everyone on their networks. If Google detects too many downloads linked to your account, it may throttle back the bandwidth available for you.
When the speed is too low, your files are unlikely to download to completion. If you log out and then log back in after a few minutes, you effectively reset your bandwidth.
