In FF 3.5 but not 3.0.11, selecting Tools - Clear Recent History and then clearing the history, including file downloads, terminates any current downloads.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a download
2. Clear Recent History - All history - include downloads

Actual Results:  
Any current downloads are terminated

Expected Results:  
Current download would not be terminated, would not be cleared from the list of downloads

Did not happen in FF 3.0.11.

Do you mean you see a half download in your downloads folder? I can't reproduce that. It finishes the task normally.

I did indeed mean that.  However, I have tried reproducing and it did not terminate the download.  Could have been a weird coincidental crash.  I'm going to change this to 'INVALID' instead of 'DUPLICATE'.  bug 465995 is talking about a different situation.

Thanks for your time.
