Reporter please try to verify this problem with a newer talkback enabled build
and a fresh profile.

I find that this still occurs for me...
the place to try this out is 
http://www.fileplanet.com/
and find a file that causes you to "wait in line" for a download. Basically a
popular and large file.
Once the line has accepted your connection, then click on the link to download
the file. Mozilla crashes at this point.
(This doesn't appear if you don't wait in line, it seems)

I have verified this with newer builds and different file downloads, so I'm not
sure where the failure is exactly. I'll hazard a guess that it is due to the url
that is sent to the server to start downloading.

Reporter, we need a talkback report here!  Get yourself a talkback enabled build
and report the talkback ID the crash generates.  Otherwise we cannot confirm
your problem and this will once again get marked as WORKSFORME.  Did you try a
fresh profile?  This might well be profile corruption.  Move your .mozilla
directory somewhere safe, start mozilla and see if you still crash.  Thanks.

ok - done - you are correct.
I installed a talkback version for a new user, therefore a new profile entirely
and no corruption from any other mozilla stuff that may be already on the system.

The files did download correctly after the line-up has finished.

Sorry for the goose chase.

Reporter, the correct resolution for this would be WORKSFORME, as it was before
you reopened the bug.  I know I am nitpicking, but I will change the resolution
of this bug nevertheless.
