When I right click something and I click Save As or Save, the windows where you put the download destination doesnt appear and of course it doesn't download it

You need to configure firefox to ask you to select a download destination. At default settings, it automatically saves the file onto your desktop. To change it, goto Tools -> Options -> And click "Always ask me where to save files". You don't need to reinstall firefox, duh.

Actually I think you'll find it is downloading it, just that it isn't asking you where you want to save it to.
Tools-> Options-> Main tab
Under the downloads section, check the box 'Show the downloads window when downloading a file'
Also make sure the check box 'Always ask me where to save files' is selected as well.

One of my favorite (and I have come to believe most essential) Firefox add-ons is the Download Statusbar, which provides "granular" control over to which folder downloads are done, and a display, on the status bar at the bottom of the browser screen, of the progress of each download! I highly recommend it before you do ONE MORE download! (Download Statusbar also gives you the unusual option of fetching and destroying a "temporary" download from your system!)

the quickest way is to uninstall it and re install it
use ie to save firefox as a file then install it from the file.
you will not lose bookmarks
