Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040115 Firebird/0.8.0+

When you save a file, the download manager appears.  However, if the file is
sufficiently large enough, the download manager will lag and Firebird will
become unresponsive for a few seconds.  If, during this time, you click on
another window, Firebird will close one of the browser windows.

Firebird/0.7+. Firebird never became unresponsive.

Perhaps it has something to do with the video card.  Could someone perhaps test
this who has a pre-Geforce era video card?

A TNT, TNT2, or Vanta would be preferred.

Works for me too. At no point was Firefox unresponsive. I tested using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040302
Firefox/0.8.0+

Can you try to reproduce with a newer build?

It doesn't occur on a newer build... (although I'm not sure of the reason).  If
it happens again at a later date, I'll reopen the bug.
