Oh. That's different. :)
You mentioned Firefox does it, too. In Firefox, open
"about:config", then add a new Boolean with the name
browser.download.manager.skipWinSecurityPolicyChecks
and set it to TRUE. If it then starts working, it's that INETCPL
("Internet Options" control panel) thinks that downloads are disabled
for the Internet security zone. Several third-party browsers honor
those settings now. The above overrides that and tells Firefox to
ignore what INETCPL says to do. More info:

As for how INETCPL got borked in the first place, I dunno. Try the
"Reset Web Settings" button on the "Programs" tab in INETCPL.
