Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 239218

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Peter Corbett]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When the download manager is the only active window (other browser windows have
been closed), you cannot open a new browser window by any means. All menus are
non-functional (no menu drops down from the title.) Closing the download manager
warns that the downloads will be aborted (which should not occur on MacOS, as an
application may still be active even with no open windows). If you confirm the
message, and click "Cancel downloads", you can open a new browser window, and
downloads are *not* canceled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Begin download, leave download manager window open.
2. Close all other browser windows.
3. Try to open new browser window, or click download manager's close box.

Actual Results:  
Closing the download manager (after confirming that downloads will be aborted)
allows you to continue browsing, and downloads are not aborted as the message
indicates.

Expected Results:  
Download manager should be closeable without a warning. Where present, warning
should actually cancel downloads (as the warning says will occur). Menus should
remain functinal after last browser window is closed, so a new window may be opened.
