This is most likely caused by you having previously downloaded a file to the
floppy dirve and not cleared the download history.  When the download
progress/history window opens it tries to determine if the files in the history
still exist.  Go to  Tools -> Options -> Privacy and clear the download history.
 That should clear up your problem I would also suggest modifying your privacy
settings to clear the download history when firefox exits so this does not
happen to you again.

If this does not resolve your issue, feel free to reopen this bug.
