Is this a problem with a clean profile?  Are there any errors in the JS console
caused by trying to open the Download Manager?

Jeff, _is_ this a problem with a clean profile?  Please just comment in the bug
(at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189451) instead of mailing me...

I'm not sure if this is a clean profile problem or not.

I just installed 1.3a.  I changed my JS popup preferences.  I've added 1 bookmark.

My guess is that it could definitely be related, but I don't understand enough
about Mozilla to be sure yet.

Thanks for your help, btw.

Jeff, what I meant was:  "Please create a clean profile using 'mozilla
-ProfileManager' and try this.  Does it fail there too?"

Comment 7

[Jeff Griffin]

Yes, creating a new, clean, profile using the Mozilla profile manager does not
fix the problem.  The Download Manager window still doesn't open....
