Do you have a Talkback ID from that crash ?
Can you close Firefox and rename the file "download.rdf" in your Firefox profile
to "downloads.old" ?

i opened up downloads.rdf in textpad found that its just xml code and deleted 
all the extra code in there, leacing the first xml tag, and it cleared all the 
download data, firefox is up and running as fast as ever
Brian: I'm closing as WORKSFORME as corrupted file is deleted and crash doesn't
occur anymore. If you disagree, feel free to reopen this bug with Talkback
incident ID or corrupted "download.rdf" file.
