Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Andrew Pidcock]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Whenever I click File Save As, download, or Link Save As, there is a long period
where Mozilla will not respond until the download manager window comes up
(several minutes.) The program has not hung.  Buttons still highlight as you
mouse-over, and can click, but nothing will happen.   The downloads window has
appeared, but there is no content yet.  Windows will all swap in and out
normally.  Nothing is frozen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on an image and "Save As"
2. -or- click to download a file
3. 

Actual Results:  
The windows do not respond to their controls (back, forward, links, etc.)

Expected Results:  
Continued to work normally while the download proceeded

You MUST user the latest version to report a bug (but you use the old 1.0).

Please update to 1.0.2 or later and if you still get thgis problem run Firefox
