i forgot i didn't have add block for fire fox but i would like to thank everyone here for helping me out with understanding downloads.
I have this same problem and DO have adblocker running.
I usually download the compressed file, use 7zip to extract it to a file and double click the exe and get nothing. Very frustrating.
