I have had this nof a vew times that Firefox crashes when trying to download a
file, and the only reason i can think of is that the download manager is full of
completed downloads and that he cannot delete the first entry, and move on to
the download at hand.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.download files
2.do not clear the list
3.

Actual Results:  
firefox crashed completely, after closing down, it could restart again.

Expected Results:  
if possible an unlimited entry list of downloads, completed, downloading or
otherwise, or,
delete the first entry, and caary on with the last download at hand

Can you provide a talkback ID of the crash ?

This is a dupe of a bug I tried to work on earlier today. Adding "dupeme" to
status whiteboard and will dig through my history to find it.

Also adding "crash" to keywords, and upgrading to CRITICAL.

This is most like bug 159107, but is not an exact duplicate. None of the five
bugs I've worked with today concerning the download manager have mentioned a crash.

Reporter-- Are you sure it was a crash and not a hang? If it is a true crash, a
talkback ID would be ideal.
