User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pt-BR; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5

Firefox runs ok here, but when I open it and start downloading, at the first time, the Firefox hangs, all the software became blank, and then, 1 or 2 minutes later, it comes back. It happens too when I save an Image on my computer, only at the first time on firefox too.


After that, downloads happens normally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox.
2.Click to download or save an image.
3.Firefox hangs for a minute or so.

Actual Results:  
4. Firefox comes back to normal.
5. FIRST Download happen normally.
6. Another Downloads or images saves happens normally(after the first hang)

Expected Results:  
First download or image saving has to happens like that there I do later.

I have read about the problem, and I founded about Firefox hanging about all the time of download, but in my case, it happens only at the first download or image saving.

I already have tried to reinstall Firefox, tried to use BETA versions, RC's and tried also to change my directory of downloaded archives.

Nothing happened.

Computer setting: 512 MB of RAM memory

With "first time" do you mean first time of the session? 
Can you try clearing the list in the Downloads window?
Does it also happen in safe-mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

Yes, but If I close Firefox(firefox.exe in process) and starts another session(opens another firefox.exe), the bug will happen again.


When I start the safe-mode, the window to select some options is very little, I cant resize it, I'm using Firefox 3.5 RC3.

You do not need to select any of those options, they simply make restore Firefox premenently to it's default, and for the purposes of testing, not needed. Does it hang in safe mode? Or, you can crate a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles)and try to reproduce there. Hangs are not critical.

Reporter, are you still seeing this issue with Firefox 3.6.13 or later in safe mode or a fresh profile? If not, please close. These links can help you in your testing.

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is
far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox
3.6.x or later and a new profile
(http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the
closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and
comment on the bug.
