regression from somewhere in february 2005.

Comment 3

[Scott MacGregor]

does the cancel operation still work? Unlikely that we'd respin 1.5 for this unless there is some underlying behavioral issue for the end user. 

Comment 4

[François Gagné]

cancel do work,

since 1.8rc1 is frozen there should be a blocking1.8rc2 flag so that bug like this  be sure to be fixed for Firefox 1.5 Final.

Don't know if it is related to this error, but when I click a download link (new profile, default setings, no extensions), choose Open, then close the Download window, then close Firefox and click Cancel Download, a crash follows: TB11126022E
I experienced this earlier in Bug 313696, but have no idea to what bug it belongs.
Tried one of the links here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/pacifica-mozilla1.8/

I tell this once again, because it is an important function.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Click a link, choose Open with (= default in a new profile).
2. While downloading, close the Download window.
3. Close Firefox. A warning will appear. Cancel the download. A crash will follow.

I confirm comment #5,

You should file a new bug with this and probably put this blocking1.8rc1?

This bug is still alive and well in

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060915 BonEcho/2.0 ID:2006091504

I get three errors like the the original report when trying to d/l

which is sent as application/x-hixie-test.

This was fixed on the trunk, but not the 1.8 branch. It should be fairly harmless.
