After some time of use, I am unable to download any files with Mozilla. I click
on a link and I don't have any download window. Furthermore when I click on
"Tools -> Download Manager" nothing happens. 
Restarting the program does not help

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Mozilla for some time (in my case since release of RC2)
2. Try to download a file
3. Nothing happens

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
The download manager window should have appeared. I tried changing the
configuration to open a progress dialog or nothing at all but none works

Reporter:
Please close Mozilla, locate your Mozilla user-profile (see the Release notes
for the path on your system) and delete the file "downloads.rdf"

The download manager is working right now with 1.4RC3, but it also worked fine
for a few days after I installed RC2

This sounds related to bug 213698, where I'm posting more details. I saw the
same problem as the reported described. I followed the instructions from comment
#2, but it did not fix the problem. Nor did creating a new profile. Only
re-installing (release 1.4) fixed the problem.
