I am unable to do anything until Download Manager has begun to download the file. This is not a problem I've experienced with Netscape or Internet Explorer. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right-click on the file link 2. Save the file Actual Results: Everything running on the computer would freeze until the download began, which would take up to 1 minute. Expected Results: Begin downloading the file without freezing all other programs.
How large is your downloads.rdf file in your profile? Do you still have the problem if you deleted the file (FF is closed)?
