After saving to disk MANY images and  MANY HTML pages (HTML only), everytime I
save one more, the download manager window keeps open. Besides, it's completely
empty, and the 'Clean' button is disabled (well, sometimes it's enabled too...).
It doesn't prevent me from saving things to disk, but it's annoying.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save many images and HTML pages (HTML only) to disk...
2. ...using the 'Save as' and 'Save image as' options.


Actual Results:  
As explained above

Expected Results:  
Close the download manager windows by itself


Windows XP Home
Firefox 1.0 (language: es_ES)
Installed from an executable file made by: http://nave.escomposlinx.org
The page I was saving things from was: http://observatorio.info

Works for me. What it's your setting in Tools - Options - Downloads: Download
Manager? Do you have the option "(x) Close the D. M. window when ..." checked?

I think I have it checked, but I'll have a look anyway. What's more, during the
first 100-150 downloads, it works OK. It failed after that.

For me some settings were reset after update to FF 1.0. Perhaps that is the reason.

I've noticed the same problem on a few occasions when I've downloaded many
images and my settings are for the manager to close automatically (it works fine
99% of the time).

it happens ALL the time under fedora core 3 with firefox 1.0 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11;
U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0).
the weird thing is that after downloading an image, or a small file the download
manager stays open, AND if you download another file then it will close, only to
do the same the next download.
it might be that the files are so small that it doesn't give time to firefox to
set the bit telling it that the download is over or something.

The description posted by Uri fits very well with the problems I've been having.
