    Hi

    thanks for a prompt response.

    actually I have just realized, that it happens only when I use DownThemAll! add-on. when I use a regular download link, then everything is fine. I've been using DownThemAll! for many years for almost any downloads that's why I didn't realize it immediately.

    I will send a bug report to the DownThemAll! developers too. I don't know where the problem is, but something goes wrong specifically between Dropbox and DownThemAll! (files from other websites downloaded with DownThemAll! are all good, so it's specific to Dropbox)

    thanks

Thanks for sharing that info.  Who knows, others that use that downloader, might experience the same thing, so thanks for sharing what you have found... Hopefully, you would find a solution to use your favorite app.
