Example URL ?
DO you also get this with Firefox running in the Firefox safemode ?

Yes, in the Firefox safemode also.

Here are some examples:

When I load a page and then click a download link, download dialog shows up but
the page doesn't continue to load. Images that didn't load before I have clicked
the download link are left blank.

(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
