flashgot link creates zero byte files ---solved

I am running the latest firefox (25.0.1) and updated to the latest flashgot (don't know how to read version no. but updated the add-on).

When I right click on a link to a pdf file and select flashgot link, a save file dialog box appears and when I save, a zero byte file of the correct name is created. This happen on multiple sites. When I right click and use the msoft "save link as", everything works.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!
-------------------update Dec. 2, problem solved-------------
Stupid me?

:idea: I did not restart firefox after updating flashgot, in my first attempt to solve the problem. I just biw restarted firefox and flashgot link works fine.

Thanks to all who took a look and/or tried to help. Thanks to flashgot for their fine product.
