Can you open/locate the file using the download manager?
You can also give a chance to these tips:
Unable to download or save files
http://support.mozilla.com/es/kb/Unable%20to%20download%20or%20save%20files?bl=n
If none works, try to start Iceweasel with an empty profile (move/rename
your current user "~/.mozilla" folder to "~/.mozilla_old" and launch the
browser).
