Try cleaning up your downloads manager or delete downloads.rdf in your profile.

WFM on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20070101 Minefield/3.0a2pre - Firefox 1509 and Firefox 2.0.0.1

Same here, using the nightly build... strangely called "Minefield", this shows in the about box:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20070206 Minefield/3.0a2pre

The error console shows these 2 messages whenever I try to download a file, and nothing happens:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) [nsIFile.isDirectory]"  nsresult: "0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Arquivos%20de%20programas/Minefield/components/nsHelperAppDlg.js :: anonymous :: line 280"  data: no]
Source File: file:///C:/Arquivos%20de%20programas/Minefield/components/nsHelperAppDlg.js
Line: 280

AND:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIHelperAppLauncher.saveToDisk]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Arquivos%20de%20programas/Minefield/components/nsHelperAppDlg.js :: anonymous :: line 802"  data: no]

I have already removed and reinstalled firefox, downloaded the latest nightly build, deleted downloads.rdf, deleted the entire profile, and it still happens.

Even to download firefox after opening the page I click "Save File" and nothing happens... then I click "...use this link" and "Save File" and nothing happens...

To download, I have to right click and pick "Save as..."
