Did you try these steps to fix Firefox Download errors ?

First Step I would say is to check what Add-Ons are running in Firefox copy/paste each name into Yahoo search to see what problems/virus/spam it brings up .
Next step I would suggest is to follow the link above to clear history downloads/cookies etc in Firefox .
Adaware and SpyBot Search Destroy are for sure needed , but somehow have to disable whats blocking full downloads if steps above do not work . Its is something in your running programs . I would suggest closing all internet then opening it up . If IEXPLORE.EXE is still there that is one problem . Iexplore.exe is Internet Explorer but is sometimes a hidden Trojan/virus program . End task on it , End task on the Mbam file . Or list whats running and email if you can
There is no reason at all to Reformat system in my opinion over this unless you have not done it for a long time it wont hurt to clean out the trash and registry errors .
