I totally fixed this!!

Solved

I was amazed I tried everything that was written on the net about this... and nothing worked...

Here is the background ... All of a sudden during development I uploaded a fresh .unity file to my webserver (apache) and I kept getting this "Failed To Download Data File"

"Download Failed" over and over again...

I tried uploading new files...checking the MIME types... updating / uninstalling webplayers....

A big joke was that Chrome was my only way I could get unity working... with all the chrome issues here I am using it to test out my upload...Long story short here is the answer:

1) goto FF Help / Menu (F10 if Menubar is not showing)

2) select "Restart with Add Ons Disabled"

3) Answer YES to restart Firefox

4) Wait a moment. FF will restart and immediately show you a window stating you are about to enter safe mode .... you will have 2 buttons.... Hit the "REFRESH" button.

5) Another Message box will Appear hit "REFRESH" button AGAIN

6) Let Firefox do it's Refreshing and Bingo. You are back in business.
