User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7 (ax)

This problem I brought up before Firefox went 1.0  it's never been fixed.  It's
enuf to make or force me to run to Opera except Roboform doesn't run in Opera.

Sure it's an adult site, but it doesn't matter where I'm at or what computer I'm
running.  It always happens at some point during the day and completely random.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. hit the icon
2.tells me to save
3. I do.  and after awhile boom.  frozen.  When I restart Firefox, the files are
attempting to download.. but don't.  so I have to delete before I re download them.

Actual Results:  
Frozen.  Crashed.  Have to send report to Microsoft.

Expected Results:  
Should have either kept downloading or after a crash..  remembered where it was
and start downloading where it left off (like getright.com)

Well I'm running Window Blinds, but since this always happens.. I don't think
thats it.

WFM. Possibly an extension is causing this. Does it also happen in the safe
mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode_(Firefox)

not sure if I'd have the time to run this in safe mode....  Maybe sometime. 
Certainly not high up on the list

Can you at least give an indication of how many downloads you have to have at
once for this to happen? I have had firefox downloading 10 or so files at a time
with no problems.

Could you install with talkback and get a talkback ID for the crash? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback

No response. This is not a problem for quite a large number of users. Reporter if you can provide a talkback ID for the crash as ispiked requested then please reopen this.
