I am a big fan of the FireFox browser and use it on all my machines. Heck, I even use it on my desktop at work. I find it stable, secure, and ideal most of the time, however, recently I did have an issue.
MaximumPC lets you download their archived magazine issues as PDF's. They are typically large files, and this one was around 22 mb. I tried to download it several times, and each time it just hung up at around 4 megs. My connection was fine and I was able to do other things simultaneously, so I really was not sure what the issue was.
After several attempts, I decided to switch to another browser, this time the Google Chrome one that is generally bulletproof. It downloaded it on the first try. I wonder if there is an issue with the FireFox browser for this particular issue, but for now, the moral is that if one browser is having difficulty downloading a PDF, give Google Chrome a try.
