No actual crash. Windows XP Home SP2. Using standard theme.

are you downloading over a slow connection? How long did you wait to see if the
process is terminated?

I'm downloading over broadband 512/256. I can wait indefinately - it doesn't
seem to ever terminate.

Attachment: Screenshot of process

After doing the reproduction for
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275521#c3 this bug resurfaced. I
quit the application and the process was still running. I took a screenshot of
this.

This is no longer a problem. Was determined to be the fault of ZoneAlarm Firewall.
