Ubuntu 13.10 Cannot download files with firefox after 7 march 2014 update

Question

After today update I cant seem to download any files using firefox.

I can still download and directly with the "Open With" even the extension DownThemAll and Flashgot is working. Other browser also works fine (chromium).

All I get is the download dialogue, click OK and nothing, no error, no download started, nothing....

Anyone can help?

Do you have the Unityfox addon installed? It's the add on which shows the download progress in the unity launcher — Dan, Mar 07 '14 at 08:43
After searching elsewhere it seems the trouble was from firefox itself not from ubuntu.
