I keep my documentation on the web and save the doc as text format to include along with the software I distribute.

Using the most recent beta, when I save the page as text, the download manager comes up, but the progress bar never advances, and this text remains at the bottom of my Firefox window:  "One active download (Unknown time remaining)".  Regardless of all this, the file does indeed get saved.  This was not a problem in Firefox 2.0, and I'm using the same procedure as always.  The destination file(s) are NOT write protected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any web page
2. Save page as text
3.
Actual Results:  
The download manager comes up, but the progress bar never advances, and this text remains at the bottom of my Firefox window:  "One active download (Unknown time remaining)".

Expected Results:  
File downloaded and saved, download completes normally.
