Please do not write a bug report in all caps. Have you tried in Safe mode (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode)? And can you give a specific example of a  download that exhibits this behavior? I can not confirm.

use either the safemode as tyler suggested, be sure that the download location in the preferences is still valid and if that doesn't work try a new profile.

This is wfm and marking as such.
