User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

Problem was not present in Firefox 1.0.. but shows up in 1.0.1
I've installed a 3rd party download accelerator/manager (DLexpert.exe v0.99). 
When "right clicking" on a downlaod LINK.. the context/options box.. no longer
displays the choice of downloading with DLexpert.
 ( I.E. 5x still works ok with DLexpert context menu.)

(I can still use DLexpert in Firefox 1.0.1 if I manually copy/paste the url into
DLexpert job-list.)

  I'm using a PC clone (AMD-1.6ghz / 768MB) Window ME.
(I like Firefox,,and have enjoyed it very much.  Good work!)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.I had DLexpert.exe v0.99 installed along with Firefox 1.00  context D/L link
choices ok.
2. Upgrade/installed Firefox 1.0.1 ,, and Dlexpert choice in context box not
available anymore.

3. Re-installed DLexpert over browser update.. still not back to normal.

Actual Results:  
Results=loss of DLexpert download manager choice in the right-click context box
on the D/L links.

Expected Results:  
Context box should display 2 differnt "download with DLE" choices.

No screen savers or desktop themes. minimal startup programs. Only AVG antivirus
(free)

and Zonealarm (free).

Perhaps you just need to make a clean uninstall and reinstall your download
manager. Since you installed Firefox 1.0.1 after it, it is possible that it did
not detect Firefox's existence.
