Firefox 3.5 Beta tends to freeze or crash most of the time when it scans a downloaded file (pre-dominantly a .exe file type) for viruses.  It will scan for 6 seconds then become non responsive to user activity. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.find a site that allows you to download a file (specifically win Vista .exe)
2. click download
3. after it is done downloading, wait when it scans the file, it should freeze
Actual Results:  
The same exact thing, UI froze and became unresponsive

Expected Results:  
scan the file without causing the program to become unresponsive to user activity.
