This is happening on devices where people have "disabled" the Download Manager [1][2]. You can do this by going into Settings > Apps > All Apps, and picking "Download Manager" then tapping "Disable". Android gives you a warning about doing this to a built-in app.

I can reproduce the crash when disabling the Download Manager, which is the backend provider, not the UI, which can be called Downloads in the Settings.

This patch pulls the System DM checks into a helper function. The function also tests for a disabled DM. I am checking the backend provider, not the Downloads UI. I am also testing for IllegalArgumentException in case the applet is not even installed.

There are several COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED* flags, so I test for ENABLED and DEFAULT.

Testing shows the patch works for adding and removing downloads without crashing.

The crash is no longer reproducible, but after re-enabling the download manager Firefox becomes unresponsive.

We found that clearing data or rebooting the phone fixed the responsiveness. Given the unsupported nature of disabling system services, rebooting the device is a fine workaround.
