This bug is almost the same as bug 317787 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317787

However, nothing is installed other then firefox 1.5.01 on a new windows XP SP2 system.

To get to the point, when you click a download, and it opens a new window to intilaze, the download button is greyed out - however, if you cancel the download and try again, the download button is useable.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto a website that has downloadable files offsite, such as a forums
2. Click the download link - so that the download opens into a new winow

Actual Results:  
The ok button will be grey on 40-60% of the clicks

Expected Results:  
A working ok button

I see the specific behavior described under a clean profile (i.e. nothing written to mimetypes.rdf,) both on branch and trunk where:

1) The browser is not set to 'always use' a certain program
2) The download link is triggered by target="_blank"

Taking away focus then re-giving focus to the 'Opening ...' dialog resolves the problem.
