Every time I close out Mozilla browser, Flashgot creates subdirectories
numerical increments within the download directory.

For example, in my C:\temp directory, on my first Mozilla closure, Flashgot will
create C:\temp\flashgot.  On the second closure, C:\temp\flashgot-1.  On the
third closure, C:\temp\flashgot-2.  etc. etc.

There is nothing inside these subdirectories.  They are empty subdirectories,
which I have to manually delete every time.  When I delete them, the numerical
sequence starts over.

I tried to find where to disable this feature, but couldn't find it anywhere.  I
uninstalled Mozilla and installed the new 1.7.11 version.  Funny thing is that
FlashGot was still seen as available on the menu, but FlashGot itself, I had to
reinstall.  Upon reinstall, it did the same thing.  Nothing was fixed.

So now, I'm reporting to you about this.  Hopefully, this is a known issue that
you have answers to.  Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Closing out Mozilla browser completely.  That is, not merely closing out one
Mozilla browser while another is still open, but closing out Mozilla browser and
no other Mozilla browser is open.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
FlashGot creates empty subdirectories inside my indicated download directory.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla browser should just close out, and FlashGot should not be creating any
empty subdirectories.

This is clearly a Flashgot issue, not a Mozilla one.  Marking as invalid -
please reopen if you disagree. Please report to the extension developers.

Well, flashgot was downloaded from Mozilla Update.  How do I contact FlashGot if
this issue is not your concern?
