Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 65770

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[andrew.rse]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

If you allow Firefox to completely fill your hard drive by downloading a file
through it (i.e 0kb free on the hdd) then firefox will become unstable, attempts
to access the download manager will result in a crash and no notification of
low/no disk space will be displayed.

Perhaps it should be noticed that I have the download manager set to *not* be
displayed when I begin/end a download

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a download that will fill the hard drive
2. Close the download manager, continuing the download
3. Wait untill the download has filled the hard drive and try and access the
download manager, firefox will crash.

Actual Results:  
Firefox crashed, I had to discover myself that my disk was full and free up some
space. Attempts to run firefox whilst the hdd was full resulted in further
unresponsiveness and crashin.g

Expected Results:  
The download manager should have displayed, perhaps when the download filled my
hard drive I could be notified by FireFox
